Stocksfield was reduced to an unstaffed halt in 1967, along with most of the other stations on the line that escaped the Beeching Axe. The former station buildings were subsequently demolished.
Facilities
The station has two platforms, both of which have seating, a waiting shelter and next train audio and visual displays. The westbound platform has a ticket machine, which accepts card or contactless payment only, and an emergency help point. Platforms are linked by a pre-grouping metal footbridge, similar to those at Riding Mill and Wylam, however there is step-free access to both platforms via the nearby road bridge. There is a small car park and cycle storage at the station.[4]
Stocksfield is part of the Northern Trains penalty fare network, meaning that a valid ticket or promise to pay notice is required prior to boarding the train.[5]
As of the December 2023 timetable change, there is an hourly service between Newcastle and Hexham (or Carlisle on Sunday), with additional trains at peak times. Most trains extend to Morpeth (peak only) or Nunthorpe via Hartlepool. All services are operated by Northern Trains.[6]
