Northumberland Line.
Morralee, a typical buff coloured stone built farmstead in rural Northumberland is passed on 19 September 2026 by 158844 “The Northumbrian” working 1J74, Northern’s 1033 Carlisle – Middlesbrough.
158844 was named “The Northumbrian” and received this colour scheme to promote "The Northumberland Line" Northern Rail's branding of the Newcastle - Ashington section of the Blyth & Tyne network that was upgraded for passenger use in 2024.
However some of the imagery depicted, represents the wider North East (outside of just Northumberland) and really represents the modern idea of Northumbria rather than Northumberland. But in any case the railway in the Tyne Valley is in Northumberland so, can legitimately be called a Northumberland Line.
