St Bedes Junction rail crash
St. Bedes Junction lies between Jarrow and Bede Metro stations on what was the North Eastern Railway line between Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and South Shields. From the junction a mineral line descends on a gradient of 1 in 100 to Tyne Dock Bottom. On 17 December 1915 in the early morning in fog, a goods train ran out onto the main line past St Bedes signalbox having been banked in the rear up the incline by a six-coupled tank engine.
