== Transport == [[File:Berwick Lighthouse geograph - 3317786.jpg|thumb|Berwick breakwater lighthouse]] The old [[A1 road (Great Britain)|A1 road]] passes through Berwick. The modern A1 goes around the town to the west. The town is on the [[East Coast Main Line]] railway and is served by [[Berwick-upon-Tweed railway station]]. A small seaport at Tweedmouth facilitates the import and export of goods but provides no passenger services. The port is protected by a long breakwater built in the 19th century, at the end of which is a red and white [[lighthouse]]. Completed in 1826, the {{cvt|13|m|ft|adj=on}} tower emits a white light every five seconds from a window overlooking the sea.<ref name=rowlett>{{cite rowlett |engne |access-date=11 November 2015}}</ref> Seafarers' charity [[Apostleship of the Sea]] has a chaplain to support the needs of mariners arriving at the port.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.stellamaris.org.uk/ |title=Home |website=Stella Maris |access-date=4 January 2021 |archive-date=21 December 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201221205500/https://www.stellamaris.org.uk/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Bus services are mostly operated by Borders Buses (part of West Coast Motors) and Arriva providing both local and longer links. The town is also served by National Express coaches.
