SENRUG :: South East Northumberland Rail User Group
Who Are We?

'All Aboard!' Morpeth SENRUG has been set up to campaign for better rail services in South East Northumberland and to represent the interests of current rail users and those who would use the train if only those services and facilities were better. With you on board, we can lobby rail bodies, councillors and anyone else to get the services we think we need and deserve.

For a start...

  • SENRUG calls for an increase in the number of mainline intercity services that call at morpeth train station.
  • SENRUG wants to see the existing local services between Morpeth and Newcastle retimed to provide services departing at the same minutes past each hour throughout the day.
  • SENRUG would like to see better use made of existing stations such as Pegswood and Manors and the re-opening of former stations like stannington.
  • SENRUG believes there is a strong case for extending the hourly local service further north to Berwick.
  • Re-open Ashington Blyth & Tyne line to provide direct rail service from Ashington & Bedlington (and eventually from Newsham for Blyth) to Newcastle Central Station.

If you think our campaign makes sense then add your voice to ours & Join SENRUG!
