South East Northumberland Rail User Group
The group represents the interests of existing and potential passengers travelling by rail from, to, within and through South East Northumberland, including those who would travel by train if only the trains went where they want to go, at the time they want to travel, at a fair and affordable price and in a clean, safe and accessible environment.
The group campaigns for:
- An increase in the number of mainline intercity services that call at Morpeth train station
- Existing local services between Morpeth and Newcastle retimed to provide services departing at the same minutes past each hour throughout the day
- Better use made of existing stations such as Pegswood and Manors and the re-opening of former stations like Stannington
- Extending the hourly local service further north to Berwick
- Re-open Ashington Blyth & Tyne line to provide direct rail service from Ashington & Bedlington (and eventually from Newsham for Blyth) to Newcastle Central Station
