We both believe this should be re-instated as a point to point tram or light rail connection. It wouldn&#8217;t be difficult, there are very few problems on the original alignment that could not be overcome with a light rail solution. We envisage electric vehicles with rapid charger facilities at both ends. But first we need a regular, minimum hourly, service at Seahouses.. John and I have slightly different views as to how to get that though we both have the same objective. The SENRUG position is to have a new service between Newcastle and Berwick, calling at all stations, minimum frequency hourly in each direction. See our campaign page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/NorthOfMorpethLocalServices.php\">here<\/a>. Get a decent service to Chathill, then the Seahouses &#8211; Chathill link looks very viable. Meanwhile, I can vouch for the fact that to get from Bedlington to Seahouses takes 2 and a half hours each way by bus!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1929\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1929\" style=\"width: 501px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1929\" src=\"https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Seahouses-Alignment-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"501\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Seahouses-Alignment-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Seahouses-Alignment-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Seahouses-Alignment-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Seahouses-Alignment-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Seahouses-Alignment-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Seahouses-Alignment-1600x1200.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1929\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Here I am, walking along the alignment from Seahouses to Chathill.
