On the last day of my family holiday, a short trip was made to Marshall Meadows to visit the border crossing sign (a long-time personal intention finally crossed off), and also a visit to Berwick Station for the first time in many years.
The photos were taken across both the Sunday and Monday at Berwick, as an early morning Sunday walk meant the station wasn’t actually open to access the platforms.
The primary reason for visiting was to capture a new video, which you can view here, and features the front end of this HST-shaped planter on the northbound platform at Berwick…
…
…which has a nice sense of circularity to it, as the ‘Craigentinny 100’ branding on the real HST, hauling the ‘Bound for Craigy’ railtour back in 2017 was a big part of the inspiration for the Northumberland Coast Loop in the first place.
With the petition now at 650 signatures, lets hope that the Northumberland Coast Loop can soon become a reality!
