Excellent meeting with Anna Weeks today. Main areas for discussion are SENRUG’s aspiration to see the Ticket Office at Morpeth open all afternoon, and the need for a better train frequency at Cramlington – the current hourly service is not good enough. In particular, and as a quick fix, we need an earlier morning train – before the 08:05, though it looks unlikely this will happen for this December’s timetable. We’ve been banging the Cramlington drum for some time now, but I do detect Northern are at last starting to understand the problem.
