Remains of Ashington station, on the Blyth & Tyne Line that closed to passengers in 1964, looking north on 15th June 2018. Campaigns to reopen the line culminated in an announcement on 23rd January 2021 that £34 million has been granted to the reopening aiming for 2025 when the first trains will run. See recent news item. The campaigns also pressed for reopening the connecting line from Morpeth to Bedlington but this is not presently included in the scheme.
