Morpeth is a railway station on the East Coast Main Line, which runs between London King's Cross and Edinburgh Waverley.

The station, situated 16 miles 50 chains (16.6 mi; 26.8 km) north of Newcastle, serves the historic market town of Morpeth, Northumberland, England.

[3][4] The B&T line to Bedlington lost its passenger trains in April 1950 (although occasional summer services between Scotland and the North Eastern coastal resorts continued operating over it until the 1960s), but it remains in use for freight and may have its passenger trains restored in the future (as an extension of the current local stopping service) - the South East Northumberland Rail User Group is currently campaigning for this.

Passenger trains over the old NBR line from Scotsgap, Reedsmouth and Rothbury ended in September 1952[6] and it closed completely in 1966 - few traces of this route now remain.

In December 2011, a self-service FastTicket machine was installed by Northern Rail for use outside the hours of operation of the ticket office (06:40 -12:40, Mondays to Saturdays only).

There is also currently a consultation in place, which could see stopping services to and from Morpeth, as well as neighbouring Alnmouth for Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed, significantly altered from the May 2022 timetable change.

In September 2021, TransPennine Express announced that they would be introducing a five return trains per weekday semi-fast service between Newcastle and Edinburgh from December 2021, which will call at Morpeth.
