61 years, 4 months and 27 days later…

Bedlington Station will re-open. This Sunday, the first train will stop at 08:28 Platform 2 on its way to Ashington. It will then turn around and depart for Newcastle stopping at Platform 1 at 8.43am, arriving in the city around half an hour later.

Timetables, live times and rail only booking information can be found here: https://www.northernrailway.co.uk/stations/bedlington

@Nicola Riley in your opening comment you mention Fountains Yard. Fountains Yard was asked about on the Facebook group Bygone Bedlington and as i had never of that yard I posted a comment in the Discussion/History Hollow section of this group and @Canny lass identified where it had been.

The entry in - Discussion/History Hollow -  is titled :- Fountain(s) Yard - Glebe Row/Road/Bank and was posted in 2019. It's under Page 5 of the History Hollow section.

@Appleby - there is another album under the Gallery/Historic Bedlington section - Netherton/Nedderton old photos 2 - and there a number of school photos for Netherton Colliery & Nedderton Village and the name Appleby has been added on a few of the photos. This is a direct link to that album :- 

Welcome to the site @Appleby

There are a few postings where the rows and families of netherton Colliery get a mention and the best way to view them is by using the - Search - facility at the top right hand of the 'Discussion' screen.

If you enter the word Appleby in the box and enter that youu will get a ling to any comment that has used that word.

If you wanted to search for a phrase like Clifton Row then add quotation marks either side of the phrase - "Clifton Row"

There have been a few members who were raised in netherton Colliery but I think theren is only one member from the area that still regularily visits and helps the members of this site and that is @Canny lass.

In the gallery section there are albums on various subjects and there are some on Netherton & Nedderton. When you select the gallery section from the menu at the top of the page you scroll down to the Historic bedlington section, select that then there are 4 pages of albums.

When you select an album you can click on any photo/image within the album and you will see any comments that have been made in respect of image. This is a direct link to one of the albums :-

Mark, had no reply yet. Did you source what you need elsewhere?

@Dave Cordes - if you whish to tag a member so that they are notified then you can use the @ before the members name.  The tag only works when you start with the @ followed by the members name and selecting the full name from the list that the system throws up eg @M and the system will give the names and then you select the name you want :-

@M 

and you will get @Mark J

@Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) that would be great if you can post this and see if anything comes back. Much appreaciated

Posted a screen shot of your initial comment on the Bygone Bedlington group and I will copy any replies that may help you into this topic.

Yep you will have to start from scratch and invite all your friends to the new account.

The advrts are a paiin but normally by reloading the page via the circle with arrowhead on at the top left the adverts sometimes stop - but unfortunately not always. However if you visit one of the groups , eg. Bygone Bedlington the latest advert(s) are blocked out and when you go back to your hame page the advert(s) should have gone

@Mark J searched on the FB group Bygone Bedlington and the only postings on the group about the Welwyn are group photos of office parties among the female workers,

What if I screen shot your first comment and posted that on the Bygone Bedlington site and see what response it gets?

Welcome to the group @Mark J

Although everyone in Bedlington would have known of the Welwyn and people who worked there there has been very little mention on the facotry and staff that I can remember or find photos of.

If you select the Gallery section of this group and enter the one word - Welwyn - into the search box at the far right of the screen you will get a link to every comment that has been made that contains the word Welwyn.

@loopylou created an album - Welwyn Photos - in the Gallery section but there are only three photos that she had fond in her family home but no info with the photos and neither of them were taken inside the factory.

I knowm there are a couple of ex Welwyn workkers who use the Facebook (FB) group, Bygone Bedlington, but I can't remember many photos having been posted within that group. I will havve a search of the FB group and see what I can find and if there is anything that fits what you are looking for I wil ask those that posted the info if it's ok to share with this group. 

@Mal - I take it this is a photo fed into some AI software to make the video? Or have you found a singing Bedlington Terrier

Err.. none of the above.  Very surprised that you didn't know that there was a Bedlington.uk mail server that's quite independent of the board software.  Longstanding supporters have only to ask. There's also a facility to have bedlington.uk mail redirects to your existing mailboxes. PM if you need more details.

@threegee

Err... how would I have known of the bedlington.uk mail server? 

Within this site I have only been aware of the internal Mail service allowing members to communictae privately between each other

I'm happy with the services outside of this site I currently use. If you wanted members to use an alternative service then should there not be something in the blue memu bar above giving members the option to check it out?
