Coming on Wednesday 23rd September 2026 at 8pm is Episode 322 of the Railnatter series by rail engineer and author Gareth Dennis, and the topic of the night is the East Coast Main Line (ECML) between Newcastle and Edinburgh; with the episode title of ‘Why This Beautiful Mainline Is A Mess’

As a long term follower and Patreon supporter of the Railnatter series, as well as having having met Gareth personally at the Lort Burn Specials back on 4th July 2025, it’ll be great to see what he puts forward in this upcoming episode, and perhaps may hopefully even cover the Northumberland Coast Loop proposal too as part of the episode? (Newcastle to Edinburgh via Blyth Bebside using the Hepscott Line), with the petition now standing at 1,534 signatures.
It is very likely to be a live show; so if you are watching live on the day, you can post questions in the chat via YouTube and perhaps give your views on what is being said.
See you all there on Wednesday!
