The Journey
Have you taken The Journey yet ? As part of the development of the Northumberland Line, poet John Challis has written a poem to commemorate the lines rich history, which is shared with today's users of the line. The poem has a stanza for each of the line's six new stations and can also be seen at each of the Northumberland Line's new stations. We hope you enjoy it.

Later Nights Oot On The Toon......
Don't forget that you can enjoy these balmy summer evenings and stay in Newcastle a little bit later. The last train on the Northumberland Line leaves Newcastle at 23:21 on Monday to Saturday evenings - giving you a little bit longer to enjoy that theatre trip, concert or night on the Toon. The 23.21 calls at Manors, Northumberland Park, Seaton Delaval, Newsham, Blyth Bebside, Bedlington and Ashington. Northern | Buy Cheap Train Tickets Online | Rail Fares
