Today myself and Murray Davies of ARUG (Alnmouth Rail User Group) met Virgin Trains East Coast. Top of the list to discuss was the re-instatement of the 18:30 from Edinburgh service which called at Alnmouth and Morpeth prior to May 2016. I was also hopeful that Virgin will be able to deliver some other service improvements for Morpeth from December 2016, and other longer term aspirations were discussed as well. On the way to York, I noticed the CIS at Morpeth station was being rather unhelpful and reported it to Northern. With the EU Referendum result announced just a few hours earlier, perhaps the CIS was trying to tell us that no-one really knows where we are going!
