  1. The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) has authorised #Northumberland Park Station in North #Tyneside, the fifth of six stations on the Northumberland Line, which will open on Sunday 22 February. Bedlington, the final station, is expected to open in March 2026. The project restores passenger services between Newcastle Central and Ashington, enhancing connectivity across Northumberland. Northumberland Park offers step-free access via a new lift and links to the nearby Tyne & Wear Metro and car park. ORR’s authorisation covers the station’s platform, shelter, ticket machines, information systems, help points and CCTV, confirming compliance with safety, accessibility, environmental and reliability standards.

  2. Border Reiver rides out to a new venue and date. Centuries ago they crossed the border to steal cattle. Now they cross Tyneside to steal your weekend and your miniatures budget. North East's longest running wargames show. #BorderReiver #Wargaming #miniatures #tyneside l.d20.ninja/LSQxS8

  3. Angel of the North in gingerbread. 2m wingspan (6ft in boomer units). At Northern Rye, Riverside Walk, Lower Ouseburn Valley, Newcastle upon Tyne.

  4. This building also boasted a rather spiffing sundial, which was making the most of the fine afternoon weather flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_g

    I do like a sundial. More awkward to carry than a watch, though.

    This empty lot used to be the famous Kard Bar (Cross Street Newcastle upon Tyne). On December 1st 2015 the building burned down, tragically taking the life of Brian Sandells the owner.

  6. Mastodonians of North East England…

    Bit of a long shot…

    If you know a Young Reader (16+) who’d be interested in being a Beta Reader for my latest novel, please get in touch.

    I’ll send them a printed copy when it’s out, and credit them.

    For context, it’s about a pair of teenagers in North Shields.

  7. An ancient wooden jetty at the mouth of the River Tyne in North East England. Thinking about how I would have processed this image in the darkroom back in the day. Choosing the right contrast printing paper, with a bit of 'dodging' and 'burning in' – you had to be there!
    Loved the 'old school' photography processes (which I once thought would never be beaten by this digital malarky), but the truth is, I could never go back to sloshing chemicals about to create an image!

  8. Contrasting architectural styles on the banks of the River Tyne at Gateshead in North East England. The former Joseph Rank flour mills, now the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art alongside more modern angular apartments.

  9. Waiting for the spring tide to turn and reveal the stones. Turnstones queue. Obviously British.

  10. The Grade II listed canopy at Whitley Bay #Metro station has been restored as part of a two-year project under the Metro Asset Renewal Programme by #Nexus Tyne and Wear. The multi-million-pound initiative, which serves 1.2 million customers annually, included the installation of 1,296 new glass panes, strengthening and repainting steelwork, and new lighting, CCTV, and a public address system. The canopy's original glazing above the tracks has been reinstated. The station remained open throughout the works, with minimal disruption. The project was managed by Nexus and Kier Group, enhancing Whitley Bay as a key gateway to North #Tyneside. Local businesses, including a café, bar, and yoga studio, stayed operational. The station, listed in 1986, will undergo further restoration of the historic footbridge.

  11. @Beclfc probably looks more like this today. Long term bridge renovation. #tyneside #neengland

  12. Mark Bryant, the voice behind the Tyne and Wear #Metro’s on-board announcements for 15 years, has revealed his identity. A professional voiceover artist, Mark’s soothing voice provides essential route information to Metro passengers daily. He runs his own #media company in #Gateshead and records the audio in a voiceover booth. Mark, 46, from Hebburn, South #Tyneside, enjoys his unique role, often surprising people when they learn it’s him behind the announcements. He’s excited to voice the new Metro #trains, noting the impressive #technology. Mark's career started in local radio, later branching into ads for major artists like Tom Jones and Robbie Williams. Voiceovers run in the family, with his wife, Amanda, also a voiceover artist, and his son, William, even nominated for a voiceover award.

  19. “I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we’re alone." —Charles de Lint
