Northumberland Line: 50,000 journeys already!
A recent post from Northumberland County Council (see screenshot below) shows that the Northumberland Line is off to a very strong start, with 50,000 journeys being made in the first month since opening. This has also been published on Rail Advent.
This is despite the line opening with just two of the six new stations being opened (Ashington, and Seaton Delaval), with Bedlington, Blyth Bebside, Newsham, and Northumberland Park due to open at stages throughout the year, see our previous post for more information.
Northumberland Coast Loop: 10k website views
On the day that the Northumberland Line has reached 50,000 riders, this website and blog has surpassed 10,000 views since it’s launch in January 2024. Thank you to all who’ve visited and read the website and blog!
In a somewhat fitting coincidence, the Northumberland Coast Loop headboard arrived in the post today…
…which will soon be seen out and about on the route; as ever, watch this space!
This was made by JAF Graphics, who I’d happily recommend if you require your own personalised railway headboard, with excellent prices, great communication and swift delivery, there may be more in the pipeline to come!
Quiet Work Behind The Scenes
There is much quiet work also going on in the background with regards to the Northumberland Coast Loop; such as emails and other correspondence with some very positive replies. Hopefully more will be announced shortly, but on that cliffhanger, I’ll have to leave things there!
Thanks for reading, please subscribe to the blog to get all the latest updates! Yours, RH.
