Useful meeting today with the Northern team, Morpeth Town Council and SENRUG Committee Member Trevor Watson about plans for changing ticket selling arrangements at the station, alongside increasing the hours the station is staffed. A lot of mis-information has been going around, and this was a good opportunity for Northern to explain what they are intending to do once the station building renovation project is completed. SENRUG is generally supportive, provided the new arrangements are accompanied by a significant improvement in station opening hours, which also gives access to the waiting room and toilet. The meeting also touched on plans to improve parking provision, bus interconnection with the station, and new waiting shelters at the north end of the platforms.
