Alnwick Lionheart (Aln Valley Railway)

Introduction

The Aln Valley Railway is a preserved railway, a reconstruction of the Alnwick Branch (York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway). The line will run from near Alnwick to Alnmouth on the East Coast Main Line.

Access to the original Alnwick terminus is blocked, from the east, by the A1 and a new terminus, on former farmland on the outskirts of Alnwick, has been built Alnwick (Lionheart).

The majority of the line is built on the course of the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway's Alnmouth branch.






Locations along the line

These locations are along the line.

This is the terminus of the Aln Valley Railway. The station opened in 2012. The station is the intended terminus of a re-opened Alnwick Branch (York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway) which closed in 1968. The original site, Alnwick, will be difficult to access from Alnmouth due to the construction of the A1 on the level over the former line's trackbed.
