Station Name: GATESHEAD EAST[Source: Alan Young and Jonathan Clark]
The BR(NE) running-in nameboard at the north-west end of Gateshead East’s up platform is seen, looking east in July 1969. Although Gateshead West was still open when this nameboard was installed, like its predecessor it did not include ‘East’ in the station name. The lamp is not of a typical BR North Eastern or Eastern Region style.
