The LNER First Class Lounge at Berwick Railway Station has been officially reopened after being refurbished.

The station, on the East Coast Mainline, was opened on Monday 14th September by the Mayor of Berwick-Upon-Tweed Anne Forbes.

The new First Class Lounge at Berwick Railway Station now creates a brighter and more comfortable space for passengers. The station has seen significant improvements, with more work still to be completed.

Mayor Forbes met with David Horne, LNER Managing Director and Alan Riley, LNER’s Head of Stations, after receiving a tour of the newly refurbished areas of the station, which is the most northerly railway station in England and sits immediately north of the iconic Royal Border Bridge.

David Horne, Managing Director at LNER, said: “We’re delighted to reach this significant milestone in our plans to transform Berwick Station, which is clearly an important part of the local community.

“We will be working hard over the coming months to provide even greater enhancements to the station, which once complete will give visitors a brilliant experience when travelling to and from Berwick.”
