🚂 The Seaton Burn Waggonway, originally known as the Brunton and Shields Railway, was an industrial railway line operated between 1826 and 1920 to transport coal from collieries such as Brunton, Burradon and Seaton Burn to the River Tyne. The line was partly horse-drawn and partly rope-operated with stationary steam engines—an early form of funicular railway1. In 1837 the route was extended to North Shields, and around 1867 it was converted to standard gauge to connect with the wider railway network.
Today, the former railway line has been converted into a traffic-free footpath and cycleway, part of the Waggonways network in North Tyneside. The path winds through green corridors and past traces of industrial heritage, and is popular with walkers, cyclists and nature lovers.
