Ticketing

Ticket prices for the Northumberland Line have now been finalised ahead of the line opening later this summer.

Customers will be able to buy tickets from any station to anywhere on the national rail network either from the ticket vending machine on each station or in advance via ticketing websites and mobile phone apps.

In addition, customers can also use integrated fares with the Tyne & Wear Metro with the Nexus Pop Card.  You can buy a season ticket from a week up to a year on a Pop Card or choose a Pay As You Go option and simply tap in and out of each station to get the best value fares for the Northumberland Line and Tyne & Wear Metro.

Rail Fares

If you're travelling on the train (and not using the Metro), then these tickets will be the best value.  With peak and off-peak tickets available and railcard discounts too, travelling on the Northumberland Line will be great value.  Fares on the line will be single led driven, so, the return fare will be double the price of a single and this is different to most rail fares.
