Yesterday, I joined John from the Chathill Rail Action Group (CRAG) for a coffee and a chat about Chathill station, and the wider context of the ECML, the Northumberland Coast Loop and more besides in the brilliant surroundings of Barter Books, housed in the original Alnwick station.
Could the fortunes of Chathill change in 2026, a year that marks 75 years since the demise of the North Sunderland Railway in October 1951, and Chathill ceasing its status as a junction, to just a small, rural station since then, and one that presently is arguably under served?
Keep your eyes peeled for more soon!
