    Chances are that Seaton Delaval is pronounced wrong which I do apologise in advance and also do subscribe to Sarah and Riku. Their channels are listed beow

    Great Vlog, good to see the line open once again, it will be great once all the stations are open. Its a bit far for me to go, as I have a few longish trips planned for next year, but I hope to make it at some point. Thanks for your dedication in getting this out for us today, have a great Christmas and New Year.

    My suggestion for Network Rail is to extend the line from Ashington to Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, Newsham to Blyth and to add 2 extra stations on the Blyth & Tyne Railway including Hepscott and Choppington. But it’s nice to see the Northumberland Line now officially reopened to public.

    Nice video Simon. In my opinion for your next video, you should make a video about riding on the GWR's North Downs Line from Reading to either Redhill and Gatwick Airport via Guildford.

    So pleased to see a line reopen. I thought it was a shame that Northern couldn’t have cleaned the first train on the line! (I know it’s a small thing, but still…)
    Also, are the station signs temporary - the sign for Ashington in the platform looked tiny!

    When you cross the Black bridge over the river Blyth heading North look west just over the trees is the site of the Bedlington iron works. Here in the 1820,s the first extruded iron railway lines were made and patented. Railways began here.

    Quite funny. Seeing all these people on a line that the locals have been waiting for for years.
    I hope you and your followers will come up for the 200 and 300 year celebrations at the Tanfield railway, near Stanley. Having the oldest building still in use on a working railway.

    I will miss the 158's when they are withdrawn. The best second generation DMU to have ever been on the rails. Hopefully they have many years to go before they are withdrawn.

    • @mbradfield53

      Think it could be within 3 years as last built was 32 years ago, although Bakerloo Line trains are 52 years old and probably be around another 8 years minimum I'd say
