News has broken today that Newsham Station on the Northumberland Line is now due to open on Monday 17th March 2025.
This third station opening marks continued progress of the Northumberland Line project and a ‘halfway mark’ with three completed stations and three remaining to be opened up (Bedlington, Blyth Bebside, and Northumberland Park).
As the Northumberland Line progresses towards completion, the Northumberland Coast Loop will hopefully begin to emerge as one of the logical ‘next step’ schemes to expand the network.
On this front, the petition to start a Newcastle – Northumberland Park – Blyth Bebside – Berwick – Edinburgh rail route has climbed to 136 signatures since being started on February the 13th, so if you haven’t already signed, please do so!
Thanks, RH.
