Residents frustrated as new station is delayed
The Journal
|July 09, 2025
RESIDENTS in Bedlington have been left frustrated but unsurprised by the latest delay on the town’s new railway station.
Part of the Northumberland Line, the project will connect the town to Tyneside and the wider rail network as well as the rest of south east Northumberland.
However, last week, council bosses confirmed that the station - alongside Northumberland Park, will not open until 2026 - the latest in a long line of delays for Bedlington.
It means the stations at Ashington and Seaton Delaval will be likely to have been open for more than a year by the time passengers are able to board at Bedlington.
Coun Malcolm Robinson, the Independent councillor for Bedlington West, has regularly complained that the town is “ignored” by the council.
