Thrilled to hear confirmation yesterday that the Northumberland Line will officially open to passengers on 15th December.
It's been a long campaign, including groups such as #SenRug and the actions of one of our own Directors over 19 years!
Well done all involved!

It's fitting that our first 'proper' Social Media post, should be to share our first train journey on the new Northumberland Line.
Today we are able to experience the route early, on a Route Learning Service.
We look forward to official services commencing soon!
