Great tips on Railcards! This is super helpful for planning trips on the Northumberland Line. Saving money on train travel means more budget for exploring! I wonder, has anyone looked into group travel options, like those sometimes organized for educational trips? I've been reading WorldStrides reviews and it seems like educational travel can be an amazing way to see the world. Something to consider for schools and groups wanting to make the most of the new line. It’s a win-win – affordable travel and enriching experiences!
