Having been raised in #Hexham I was very proud to be asked to speak to the Tyne Valley Community Rail Partnership today & discuss accessibility issues at Hexham and beyond. After 189 years, Hexham 🚂 station has waited long enough. I'd be delighted to play a part in making it accessible to all. Watch this
