On track for a railway revival: The Aln Valley Railway
In 1996, Stuart Manley (Barter Books situated in the old railway station at Alnwick) came up with the idea of trying to revive this old railway line.
He is a steam railway enthusiast and rounded up a group of like-minded enthusiasts.
That is how it all began and now after years of planning and hard work, the completion date is near.
