We're ready to open the Northumberland Line's newest station this weekend
Passengers will be able to use a new station on the Northumberland Line when it opens this weekend.
Northumberland Park will open on Sunday, 22 February, with the first service arriving at 8.10am.
It is the fifth new station on the Northumberland Line, which reopened in December 2024 – for the first time in 60 years.
More than one million journeys have been made on the route so far.
Passengers using Northumberland Park will be able to travel into Newcastle in around 10 minutes, with an off-peak single fare costing £1.70.
Passengers can use Pop Pay As You Go cards to travel on Northumberland Line trains as well as Metro services.
Alex Hornby, Northern’s commercial and customer director, said: “We’ve been working hard to prepare for the opening of Northumberland Park and are looking forward to welcoming customers on board this weekend.
“The Northumberland Line is having a really positive impact on the region and this new station will allow even more people to benefit from quick, convenient and affordable train travel that opens up a range of new opportunities.
“We’re delighted to see the line has become so popular and are exploring all available options to increase capacity, so we can provide more seats and space on board the busier services.”
