As part of the design process for the Northumberland Line, the project held a series of 3 workshops to look at accessibility issues at each of the six new stations along the line.
Accessibility groups from across South East Northumberland were invited to take part and that helped with the final designs to make sure that the stations were accessible.
On Friday 14th February, we held an event at Ashington station so that the groups could have a look at the finished product. In all, representatives from six local groups came to have a look at the station and its facilities from tactile paving from the car park to the shelter then onto the train, the help point that includes braile assistance and a T-loop as well as the ticket machine which has a display that lowers for customers in wheelchairs.
It was great to welcome the groups and listen to their feedback and then read some of it in the Northumberland Gazette - Ashington’s Yellow Brick Road for the Sight Impaired
