Northumberland Central Railway :: NZ0595
This was a single track railway which ran from Scotsgap to Rothbury. Earlier North British Railway plans had considered building the line from Kelso Branch to Scotsgap and from the North Eastern Railway's Cornhill Branch to Scotsgap.
It opened on 1 November 1870. Closure to passengers took place in September 1952. A very limited goods service continued, but the line was closed completely in October 1966.
