From the BBC» Terriers are being welcomed aboard trains at a station which shares their name on a reopened railway line.
Bedlington Station finally opened on Sunday as part of the Northumberland Line between Ashington and Newcastle, which reopened in December 2024.
Operator Northern said the first 25 Bedlington terriers to arrive at the station on Monday between 10:00 and 12:00 BST would earn their owners a free travel pass. |

I assume 'the railways' will not be offering the same incentive at Barking.    |
