This is Morpeth. A town located in county Northumberland in North-eastern England. Home to 14,000 people, this town is well connected to the outside world with the help of one of the busiest railway lines in the Country, the East Coast Main Line. When it comes to the railway, this town, its station and the track around it have a bit of a history. That’s what we’ll explore today, because what lurks around the bend is a section of rail littered with fatal injury and devastation.
