Chathill Station

Chathill railway station is on the East Coast Main Line in the United Kingdom, serving Chathill and surrounding villages including Seahouses, Embleton, Bamburgh and Belford, in Northumberland. It is 314mi down the line from and is situated between to the south and to the north, although no trains continue north from Chathill. Its three-letter station code is CHT. Although it is on the main line, the station is served by just two arrivals and departures per day, Mondays to Saturdays only, providing commuting links to Newcastle. The services are operated by Northern, which also manages the station. As Chathill is the northern terminus of these services and the Northern network, there are no direct connections between Chathill and stations further north (the diesel multiple unit used on these services runs empty northwards from here to Belford loop to reverse before returning to take up its southbound working). The station was for many years served by loco-hauled stopping trains between Newcastle, and Edinburgh Waverley (the British Rail timetable for 1982 had four departures each way from here), but these were reduced in frequency and curtailed at Berwick by BR at the latter end of the 1980s and subsequently withdrawn altogether north of Chathill after the introduction of electric working on the ECML in 1991.
