Blyth Bebside - the latest station to be completed on the Northumberland Line - has been officially opened.
The first service rolled out of the new station shortly after 8.30am on Sunday 19 October.
From Blyth Bebside, customers will be able to travel to Newcastle in under 30 minutes, paying just £2.10 for an off-peak single ticket and £4.20 for a return.
The Northumberland Line re-opened in December 2024 and Northern, which operates the services, said passengers have made almost 700,000 journeys so far. The one million mark could be reached by the end of the year.
The remaining final two stations at Bedlington and Northumberland Park are due to open early next year.
The rail line opened to passengers on 15 December 12024, thanks to a project involving Northumberland County Council, the Department for Transport, Network Rail and Northern.
Services currently call at Newcastle, Manors and at new stations in Seaton Delaval, Newsham, Blyth Bebside and Ashington, with a journey along the entire route taking around 35 minutes.
More than 16 miles of track has been renewed as part of the project. The signalling system has been upgraded and 24 level crossings have been modified to improve safety.
