History
The station opened on 3 May 1847 by the Blyth and Tyne Railway. The station was situated south of St Michael's Avenue at the east end of New Hartley's built-up area. This was a very short-lived station; it was only open for four years, closing in 1851.[1] The site of the station was where the Hartley Colliery Disaster occurred on 16 January 1862.[2]
gollark: Often I just use computer cases, though.
gollark: Which makes it MILDLY less annoying.
gollark: Being able to program microcontrollers is mildly cool, but it also means I have to wait for an electronics assembler, they can't interact with external components, and they're very irritating to debug (apparently *deliberately?!*). CC computers boot fairly quickly anyway.
gollark: CC workflow for setting up a computer to do things:- (auto)craft computer- place computer- write code/download code onto computer as startupOC workflow:- figure out what cards/other components it needs- queue autocrafting for everything- wait a while while autocrafting runs, and possibly converts some coal into diamonds- pull autocrafted stuff out of ME network, put into computers, be sure to get the right items- find openOS disk, disk drive- install openOS- write/download code- either move code to `boot` or work out how `rc` works
gollark: I play on servers. I can't just edit the recipes.
