A new late service is being added to a rural train line for those wishing to enjoy a night in the city.
The Northumberland Line reopened in December last year and allowed passengers to travel from Ashington to Newcastle for the first time in 60 years.
Twelve months on, Northern Rail is to launch a late train which will leave the city at 23:21 GMT on Mondays to Saturdays beginning on 15 December. Services on Sunday will be extended to the Metrocentre station.
Northern’s programme manager Paul Henry said passengers had told the company they wanted to spend longer in Newcastle city centre.
