Rail Fares
​
If you're travelling on the train (and not using the Metro), then these tickets will be the best value. With peak and off-peak tickets available and railcard discounts too, travelling on the Northumberland Line will be great value. Fares on the line will be single led driven, so, the return fare will be double the price of a single and this is different to most rail fares. Peak fares will apply to journeys made before 9am on weekdays, with all other times being off peak.
Railcard discounts will be available on these fares and more information on the railcards available can be found here.

Integrated Fares with Tyne & Wear Metro
​
Our integrated fares with Metro were agreed by the Joint Transport Committee on the 19th March 2024 and here's more information on what those fares will be.​​​​​​​​
Northumberland Line stations will join the Metro ticket zone map.
​
Zone A will include Newcastle & Manors
Zone B will include Northumberland Park
Zone C will include Seaton Delaval, Newsham and Blyth Bebside* stations
Zone D will include Blyth Bebside*, Bedlington & Ashington stations
​
* Blyth Bebside will be the zone boundary station for zones C & D, so if you're travelling towards Newcastle you'll need 3 zones & just 1 zone if you're travelling to Ashington
Please note that integrated fares with the Tyne & Wear Metro are only available with a Pop Card and you won't be able to buy tickets from ticket vending machines or from the train conductor.
