Indeed.
We look forward to more of the stations coming online in the months ahead, so that even more people and more communities have access to relatively affordable travel to and from the City Centre.

A very valid point you therefore highlight!

Having already taken a number of special journeys on the line over the 18 months before official opening, yesterday was our first proper 'passenger trip' to Ashington.

And, my word - if ever the "if you build it, they will come" adage held true, the images speak for themselves!

Today is a very special day!

After more than a 60 year gap since the 2nd of November 1964, the first official Passenger trains commenced running again on the Northumberland line.

Here's some images of the first Seaton Deleval to Ashington service (courtesy of Lee Calder).

Train delays after UK rail network hit by nationwide fault National Rail says it is investigating a fault with an emergency radio system used to communicate with drivers.

TRAVEL ADVISORY:

It might be worth checking with National Rail as to journey times or disruptions today - not so much just the weather, but because of a specific technical issue this morning affecting signalling nationally...

Northumberland Line to reopen to passengers on 15 December Ashington and Seaton Delaval stations are finished, but four more will not open until 2025.

Thrilled to hear confirmation yesterday that the Northumberland Line will officially open to passengers on 15th December.

It's been a long campaign, including groups such as #SenRug and the actions of one of our own Directors over 19 years!

Well done all involved!

It's fitting that our first 'proper' Social Media post, should be to share our first train journey on the new Northumberland Line.Β 

Today we are able to experience the route early, on a Route Learning Service.

We look forward to official services commencing soon!
