The article will include the Council&#8217;s current position as to where we are up to and hopefully quite a bit of input from SENRUG too. It will be in their February issue &#8211; available in the shops from last week of January so do look out for it. By the way, did you know that Northumberland County Council have decided to re-christen the line &#8220;The Northumberland Line&#8221;? Perhaps they had a premonition that the DfT think it&#8217;s in County Durham and were seeking to make a pre-emptive strike. What about following London&#8217;s Crossrail example of naming the line after a Royal, thus giving would be passengers absolutely no idea as to where it goes? On this basis, perhaps The Megan Line would be a good idea. No, for the moment we&#8217;ll stick with Ashington Blyth &amp; Tyne, though seriously, we don&#8217;t care what it&#8217;s called provided we get trains running on it soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent a long time this morning speaking to a journalist from Modern Railway who are planning an article on&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chairmans-blog"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=528"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":529,"href":"https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528\/revisions\/529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
