We monitor the condition of and facilities at all the railway stations along the Tyne Valley Railway.
Every two years, a comprehensive review is undertaken by our Director of Infrastructure with the assistance of Northern and volunteers, including the station adoption teams. This provides information which we use to recommend improvements at stations to the rail industry, local authorities and mayoral teams. We recognise that there is not a quick fix for some of the issues revealed but the survey findings provide the evidence required to help us make the case for improvements.
The station review documents are available for you to read here:
Faults, such as damage, wear and tear of gates, fences, potholes etc, found as we visit stations throughout the year are reported to Northern immediately in order that repairs etc can be undertaken quickly.
