Speaking at Bedlington Station’s official opening, Northumberland County Council leader Glen Sanderson confirmed that he was expecting to have new carriages for the line by the summer.

is there any news on the proposed extra units in the summer

Good news hope Bedlington follows shortly

Where does the North East and Cumbria figure in the Northern powerhouse the Main east to west Newcastle to Carlisle is in need of updating as well all the other lines running in these areas

Would think when Bedlington and Northumberland Park open we would need 4 coaches . I hope Northern Rail are able to source more rolling stock

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/northumberland-line-reopening-progress-updates.204414/ Got off to bad start to new timetable today

I am from the North East and had a few days in Bristol travelled down to Bath on Saturday to see Xmas Market and was shocked to see the numbers of people who travelled by train on returning back to Bristol from Bath on the Saturday tea time there was two huge lines of people one line going...

We have had a bad run the last few days with delays and cancelled trains is this all down to the weather

There appears to be lots of problems on the line today

It will be a busy night on Tuesday as Newcastle United are playing at home in European Championship and Newcastle Eagles are playing in a European basketball match on Tuesday night also I would expect they will have to be more than 2 coaches

That is good news that there is now a firm date

IS THERE ANY FURTHER UPDATES ON BEBSIDE OPENING

Any update from anyone when Bebside is going to open

Lots of cancelled trains today because of signal problems

I have noticed recently that a few early morning trains have been cancelled
