The communities of Seahouses, Bamburgh and Beadnell are constantly listed as some of the best travel destinations in the UK.
However, getting to the villages at the north end of the Northumberland Coast AONB can prove tricky for those using public transport. A group of residents hope that they can change that and are attempting to get TransPennine Express to arrange for their five daily trains running between Newcastle and Edinburgh to stop at Chathill, a village situated between the A1 and the coast.
At present, two trains travel between Newcastle and Chathill per day, operated by Northern. Named the Chathill flyer, it does anything but, with the morning train at 7.08am taking 74 minutes to reach Newcastle from Chathill.
