Residents living near the newly upgraded Northumberland Line are being urged to exercise caution as the route becomes significantly busier. Driver training has now begun, meaning more frequent and faster trains are running on the line than at any point in the last 60 years.

Ashington residents are invited to attend the upcoming Finance and General Services Meeting on Tuesday, September 10th, 2024 at the Town Hall (65 Station Road, Ashington, NE63 8RX) at 6:00pm.
