As of February 2023, there are 17 stations located along two lines in Northumberland, from which around 2.08 million passenger journeys were made from April 2021–March 2022.
The Tyne and Wear Metro also serves the historic county, having 19 stations within Newcastle and another 17 in North Tyneside.
Another five railway stations are under construction to be opened in December 2023 with the Northumberland Line: Ashington, Bedlington, Blyth Bebside, Newsham, and Seaton Delaval.
As well, in the historic county, the Northumberland Park Metro station in North Tyneside will be converted into a railway interchange.
There are also a number of heritage railway stations across the county, whose main purpose is tourism rather than transport.
