The old line running on a viaduct is now used for car parking Image It was the second temporary station (and possibly the third) on the line used for passengers between 1847 and 1851 http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/n/newcastle/index1.shtml In 1851, the N&CR entered Central Station proper, sharing facilities with the North East Railway with which it would eventually fully merge in 1862.

The building known as No 1, Neville Street, next to Central Station was built in 1883, in a French Renaissance style designed by William Bell. It formed the entrance to offices constructed for the North Eastern Railway Accountant's Audit Office. The offices extended over an old carriage shed which had been built in 1871 using materials from the demolition of the original Forth Banks Goods Station. The building which extends south from the entrance, following the curve of the railway, was recently renovated and divided up into smaller office units. It is now home to Buffer Bear Children's Nursery (now Cooperative Nursery). No 1 Neville Street is a Grade II Listed Building (List entry Number: 1024814) https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1024814
