Edlingham railway station served the village of Edlingham, Northumberland, England from 1887 to 1953 on the Cornhill Branch.
The station was opened on 5 September 1887 by the North Eastern Railway. It was situated at the end of an approach road that runs north from the B6341. To the west of the station was a goods yard, which had two sidings, one serving a cattle dock and the other serving a small goods shed. The goods traffic at the station was never large: only six wagons of livestock were loaded in 1913. The station was downgraded to an unstaffed halt on 23 August 1926 and closed to passengers on 22 September 1930.[1] The name was changed to Edlingham Siding on 14 February 1938; it finally closed completely on 2 March 1953.[2]
