The last ever ticket to be purchased at Penton station - 3 January 1969. [Editor's note: No prizes for guessing who bought the ticket! Penton was a staffed station due to the absence of a footbridge, one requirement being to see passengers safely across the lines between the main station building and the down platform. With Penton signal box closed, signalman 'Wink' Henry was on relief duty on that final day and it was he who locked up the booking office for the last time - following which I understand BMcC gave him (and his bike) a lift back to Newcastleton.]
