Passengers ride new Northumberland line for the first time in 60 years

After more than 60 years a railway line has reopened and welcomed back passenger to its services. The Northumberland line will connect towns from Ashington to Newcastle. It cost just under £300 million, and the journey to reopening was filled with delays and diversions, with just two of seven stations opening on time. Sky correspondent Shingi Mararike spoke to some of the people who rode the first train on the new line. #uk #northumberland #trains SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ Sky News videos are now available in Spanish here/Los video de Sky News están disponibles en español aquí: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzG5BnqHO8oNlrPDW9CYJog To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
