History


The station was opened by the Newcastle and Berwick Railway on 1 March 1847.[1]

From November 2021 to May 2022, the footbridge was refurbished.[2]


Facilities


The station is unstaffed.[3] In February 2019, the local Council installed a ticket machine on the southbound platform. The machine allows contactless, and card for tickets, as well as being able to collect tickets. Travel tickets can still be purchased on board the train. There are waiting shelters on both platforms (but no other permanent buildings), along with timetable posters and next train real-time information boards to offer train running details. Step-free access is available to both platforms, though the footbridge linking them has steps.[3]

Northumberland County Council and the local rail users group SENRUG is campaigning to relocate the station to a new site 200 metres south of its present position, in order to better serve the town's Manor Walks shopping centre, Westmorland Retail Park and main employment areas.[4][5] The proposed site would also allow for the construction of a dedicated bus-rail interchange, a larger car park and serve several residential estates to the west built in the 1960s and 1970s.

In September 2021, TransPennine Express announced that they were seeking approval to have some of the services on their new five return trains weekday semi-fast Newcastle to Edinburgh return trains call at Cramlington.[7] As the procedure required for the operator to be recognised as meeting the safety and operational requirements necessary for calling at Cramlington were ongoing at the time of the announcement, it is possible that the service will start calling at this station at some point after its planned commencement in December 2021.[7]
