Following confirmation from Northern Railway that funding is indeed potentially available, I today sent out our spec for a feasibility study as to whether train paths would be available for the local trains on the Metrocentre to Morpeth line to be extended north to Berwick. We have in mind an hourly service each way calling at all stations, with Belford and Beal re-opened, and potentially linking in to a similar service from Berwick to Edinburgh, with Reston and East Linton re-opened, as pursued by our sister campaign group RAGES. Should any additional companies with the necessary expertise wish to provide a quote, the spec is available here.
