Riding Mill railway station is a railway station which serves the village of Riding Mill in Northumberland, England. It is located on the Tyne Valley Line which runs from Newcastle upon Tyne to Carlisle, and is managed by Northern who provide all passenger train services. The Newcastle to Carlisle railway runs through the village and its station, which was opened in 1835 and is one of the oldest railway stations in the world.

Services

The station has an hourly service to both Newcastle and Hexham on weekdays and Saturdays, with some evening trains continuing on to Carlisle. Many daytime eastbound trains continue to Sunderland and Middlesbrough. There is also an hourly service each way on Sundays, with all trains running through to Carlisle.

A landslip west of the station (caused by heavy rain and a broken drainage pipe) in early January 2016 led to the temporary suspension of services whilst repairs to the track & adjacent cutting were carried out. A replacement bus service ran between Hexham & Prudhoe until the work was completed. The line reopened on 8 February 2016, following the removal of over 35,000 tones of earth from the site.
