Cab rides along the proposed Northumberland Coast Loop

A pair of old videos on YouTube show the proposed Northumberland Coast Loop route, the first, from Benton Junction to Morpeth North Junction shows the northbound trip, whilst the second one shows the same route, starting on the Morpeth North Curve, and working southwards towards Benton Junction and Newcastle.

It is important to note that these cab ride videos pre-date the Northumberland Line project by a significant margin, and show the line as it was before the works to enable the reintroduction of passenger services began such as building new stations or closure of the level crossings at Chase Meadows or on the A1061.

These videos have simply been found on YouTube; all copyright belongs to the original uploader and ownership is theirs entirely, these links are posted for you to view them if you would wish to!
