It was a delight yesterday (Wednesday 4th March 2026) to be a part of establishing the Northumberland Branch of the North East Public Transport Users Group (NEPTUG).
There are branches for most parts of the North East active, with the branches covering local authority areas, so there is a Newcastle Branch and North Tyneside Branch respectively for those council areas.
More info will be coming soon from NEPTUG itself, but if you’re interested in being part of it, which will cover rail, buses, and any other public transport in Northumberland, please take a look at their website here: https://neptug.org.uk/
