Northumberland Line station contracts are signed [Tyne and Wear Metro]
Date: 09/08/2023
The signs are good for the new Northumberland rail line after the green light was given for construction to get underway on three new stations. Contracts have been exchanged for principal contractor Morgan Sindall Infrastructure to formally start work on Bedlington, Blyth Bebside and Seaton Delaval stations. Main construction works are progressing at pace, with station works well underway at Newsham and works approaching completion in Ashington, and 21km of new track is already installed. Earlier this year the fourth and final underpass for the line was created in a 100-hour operation. Both Bedlington and Bebside Stations feature two platforms, while Seaton Delaval has one. All will feature parking, accessible access and link into local cycling and walking routes to encourage sustainable travel.
