Northern Offers Free Travel To Bedlington Terrier Owners When Town’s New Station Opens
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Rail magazine.
These two paragraphs add more details.
Passengers with a famous breed of dog named after Bedlington will be offered free travel when the town’s new station is open. It is the sixth and final new station on the Northumberland Line, which reopened to passengers in December 2024 – for the first time in 60 years.
Around 1.3 million journeys have been made on the route so far, with passengers travelling for work, education, important appointments and fun days out. When the station opens on Sunday, 29 March, it will allow customers to travel into Newcastle in around 30 minutes, with an off-peak single costing just £2.60.
I don’t own a dog anymore, let alone a bedlington terrier, but I had intended to go to the opening of the new Bedlington station tomorrow, but there don’t seem to be any trains between London and Newcastle due to engineering works.
So, it looks like I’ll have to miss out!
