Overnight Track Works in Blyth

Network Rail will be replacing the existing rail along a section of track between Plessey Road Level Crossing and the former Newsham Level Crossing, as shown by the red line on the below map. In advance of these works, there will be a delivery of materials to the works location from 10.30pm Monday 26 August to 5.30am Tuesday 27 August.

The re-railing works will be from 11pm Friday 30 August to 11am Saturday 31 August, and from 11pm Friday 6 September to 11am Saturday 7 September. During these times, Plessey Road level crossing will be closed to all vehicles and pedestrians to allow for the safe movement of equipment and workers on the railway. A diversionary route, which has been agreed with the council, will be in place for vehicles.


A shuttle bus will be provided to support pedestrian users during this closure.  


Shuttle Bus Timetable


The X10 and X11 bus services will also be using a diversion route during the closure. A free shuttle bus will run from Blyth Bus Station to New Delaval/Newcastle Road Co-op via Princess Louise Road, Newsham Road, Druridge Drive loop, Wharton Street, Winship Street, Carr Street, Plessey Road, Rotary Way, South Newsham Road and Newcastle Road.


Unfortunately, this type of work can be noisy and we will limit noise wherever feasible, including by turning equipment off when not in use and using battery operated machinery. However, some disruption will be unavoidable.


We understand that working near your homes and working overnight is far from ideal and we am sorry in advance for any disruption these essential works may cause. Our teams have been briefed and will be mindful when carrying out this work, making sure all the relevant mitigations are in place to avoid excess noise. We will also continue to keep you updated with any work taking place near to your property.


For any queries about this track work and associated road closures please call the Network Rail National Helpline on 03457 11 41 41, which is available 24/7
