The First Train on The Northumberland Line at Seaton Delaval - 15th Dec 2024.

[@Andrewjg_89]

I’m happy that the Northumberland Line is now up and running once again. Nice to see it reopened to passengers that will be using it.

[@allan5919]

Yes it;s a good thing that Ashington now has a quick rail connection to Newcastle city centre. It will have lots of benefits. Thanks for watching. Cheers - Allan. :-)

Great bit of history to watch Allan, there will be many enthusiasts from all over the country wanting to ride that line now. Thank you Allan for sharing this with us.

[@allan5919]

Thanks for your comments Mike. I noticed a lot of Southern accents today on the train going back to Newcastle so I think a few have made a weekend of it. Cheers - Allan.

Well done getting up early and recording rhe first service Allan. Cheers, Jeff.

[@allan5919]

Thankfully the Metro was running OK and I got there ok via West Monkseaton and taxi. The wind was a bit of a problem. Thanks for watching Jeff. Cheers - Allan.

Nice to see a line reopen after 60 years, nicely filmed 👍👍👍👍👍🎅🎅🎅

[@allan5919]

Thank you Barrie. Lets hope more will open in future years. Cheers - Allan. :-)

[@RedShedNick]

Amazing Allan! So glad you were there to see the first service after all those years, a great bonus for all the locals. Glad it was a 158 to kick things off and the same can be said about yoyr team yesterday, a great result! Enjoyed cheers Nick.

[@allan5919]

Thank you very much Nick. I decided to avoid Newcastle on the outward journey to avoid the bigger crowd. It was really windy here and it did spoil the sound quality on the video. However I'm glad I was there to see the first train. Good to see NUFC start winning again. Good luck to City in the Derby later :-) Best regards - Allan.

Great video! I was there today too and it was incredibly windy!

Thank you. Yes the wind was very troublesome. I wasn't expecting it to be as bad. Cheers - Allan.

[@Anonymoususer_8823]

Very nice to see the Northumberland Line now being reopened and reused for passengers that want to travel to Newcastle by train.

I'll be looking into trying out the Northumberland line next year.

[@allan5919]

I only tried part of the line today but its a nice ride. Trains packed today with it being first day. Thank for watching. Cheers - Allan.

[@CC-Cobalt-1043]

I'm going to be trying it today

[@allan5919]

Hope you enjoy the ride and thank you for watching. Cheers - Allan.

[@Andre_Jackson]

I’m trying it just now. About to leave central station

[@allan5919]

Have an enjoyable trip and many thanks for watching. Regards - Allan. :-)

[@punkystuff]

Class 158 is my favourite DMU

[@allan5919]

Good to hear. They are good. Thanks for viewing. Cheers - Allan.

[@atlantaman]

Re-openings are always good news, Allan. A nice memory trip for you. But, do you remember the line/ did you ride on it before it was closed?

[@allan5919]

Thanks for viewing Allan. I never used the line before it closed. I can't say I recall much about it apart from what I read about it. I was only 11 when it closed and just starting out on my railway adventures. Cheers - Allan. :-)

[@CrossfellRailwayVideos]

Was the line re-opening or just the station? Nice one, anyway, and some rare good news!

[@allan5919]

The line and this station officially reopened today 15th Dec with the new national timetable. Some stations along the new line are not yet reopen however, as they are not complete. Thanks for watching Alan. Cheers- Allan.
