At the end of its inaugural run, on 14th March 1938, the first electric train in the Newcastle to South Shields service draws into South Shields station. This remarkable photograph captures a significant moment in history as public transport took a leap forward with the introduction of electric railways. The image showcases the sleek and modern design of this pioneering locomotive, symbolizing progress and innovation. The powerful engine hums quietly as it glides effortlessly along the rails towards its destination. Flags flutter proudly above the platform, celebrating this monumental achievement for both Newcastle and South Shields. The station is abuzz with excitement as curious onlookers gather to witness this groundbreaking event.
