===Rail=== The nearest [[National Rail]] station is at {{rws|Alnmouth}}, about {{convert|4|miles|0}} away. [[London North Eastern Railway]] operates services between {{rws|Edinburgh Waverley}} (journey time approximately 1h:10m) and {{rws|London King's Cross}} (journey time approximately 3h:45m) on the [[East Coast Main Line]]. It has a weekday service of 15 trains per day north to Edinburgh and 13 trains per day south to London.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Our timetables |work=LNER |date=15 December 2024 |access-date=27 March 2025 |url=https://www.lner.co.uk/travel-information/travelling-later/timetables/}}</ref> The [[Alnwick branch line]] formerly linked [[Alnwick railway station]] to Alnmouth, but this line closed in January 1968. Since the 2010s, the Aln Valley Railway Trust have worked to reopen the branch as a [[List of British heritage and private railways|heritage railway]] but, due to construction of the [[A1 road (Great Britain)|A1 Alnwick bypass]] removing a section of the original trackbed on the edge of the town, their purpose-built station at {{rws|Alnwick Lionheart}} is located near the Lionheart Enterprise Estate on the outskirts of the town. The reopening project is ongoing and, as of July 2020, the line's eastern terminus had reached a new station at Greenrigg Halt, approximately {{convert|1.5|miles|km|abbr=on}} from Lionheart; it is yet to carry passengers over the full length.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://mailchi.mp/eabd79972982/aln-valley-railway-january-february-newsletter-2695343?e=58672f6084 |title=AVR January/February 2020 Newsletter |access-date=15 July 2020}}</ref>
