Toon to Berwick a service by rail,
Hugging the beautiful coast, in hand spade and pail,
Starting from the mighty Tyne,
And crossing over the tiny Lyne,
Passing places like Seaton Delaval Hall,
It is a route that has it all,
To the reach and cross formidable Tweed,
For this rail link, there is a need.
From Hadrians Wall to the Scottish Border,
This is a land once of the fierce marauder,
The stories of Lindisfarne and the violent Viking,
Now is a place of peace, quiet and people biking,
This route up the Northumberland’s east,
Is home to the Laidly Worm, a terrible beast,
While princesses may quake with fear,
There are plenty of brave knights near.
An opportunity to leave your car at home,
Leave it beside your garden gnome,
Instead go to the station, catch the train,
No hassle of traffic, no driving pain,
Train and bus to go to Amble,
An ideal place for a coastal ramble.
To Bamburgh for the castle on a hill,
Or just out for ice-cream and a chill.
From urban Blyth it’ll take you away,
To somewhere north to lounge and play.
Alnwick has plenty to see,
From lush but poisonous gardens to Grannies for tea,
A castle home to Duchesses and Dukes,
Or to go to the old station to Barter your Books,
Spend a day under a beautiful sky,
Maybe enjoy a delicious Turnbull’s pie?
So haway fella and alreet hen,
Can I ask you to get oot your pen,
To give our petition a sign,
Just below, pop your signature on, and bring about the above rail line?

Thanks, RH.
