Could be a fun few days / week / months ahead for the Morpeth expresses at Ashington as there's no trains serving Morpeth northbound and a limited service on the ECML with speed restrictions as a viaduct has completely collapsed today.
There's also a comment on RailUK that Stagecoach are running a replacement bus service, not sure where from or what with though mind.
Couple of images from RailUK (https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/iss...908/page-2) below of the state of it.
