The opening hours at the Water Tower #cafe #Haltwhistle are changing on 19 October. It'll still be open at 9am for a breakfast treat, perhaps a bacon or sausage butty or a scone - the freshly made food is a great way to start the day
Please vote and share - #Haltwhistle is a worthy entry! – at Maiden Law, England
Can you help us put #Haltwhistle on the #worldcupofstations 2026? The #railwaystation helps people connect at the monthly markets & events, has office space for small businesses. There's a cosy cafe & a bus stop for the AD122 to take you to #HadriansWall
Please vote!
Please vote and share - it's a lovely station! – at Blaydon, England
Please get involved in the #WorldCupofStations. Your vote will count & we would love to see #Haltwhistle win. Voting takes place 12 to 18 Oct.
The theme is "stations creating connections that matter" & Haltwhistle certainly does.

There may be disruption to some @northernassist services #Carlisle #Haltwhistle #Hexham #Prudhoe #Newcastle this morning
Please check before travel
16:53 CAR to NCL Cancelled, and now our next available @northernassist 17:33 is delayed by 30 minutes due to "Sheep on the Railway".
At least it's original and humerous.
So a case of "just one of those days" rather than anything that can be done about it 🤣 – at Carlisle, England
Huge huge congratulations. This is a truly mammoth achievement!
🫶🎉❤️

(To clarify, previously "Ticket Acceptance" was only on an agreed short-notice basis between Operators - now it is a formal standing protection).

Passengers continue to raise concerns with us about the temperature on the new Metro trains.
@My_Metro say the system is “working as intended”, so is the temperature set to be uncomfortably warm on purpose?
We will continue to seek answers on how passenger comfort can be improved
Metro passengers fed up with sweaty journeys claim new trains offer 'no comfort' in heatwave
