The massive landslip, which caused part of the Carlisle to Newcastle rail line to close, for the last month, has finally been cleared.
The landslide, in early January, was caused by heavy rain.
35 thousand tonnes of rubble and debris has had to be cleared from the site near Corbridge.
This is the latest statement form Northern Rail, regarding services on the Tyne Valley line after a second landslip in two days.
"The route between Prudhoe - Hexham is closed until further notice following a landslip between Corbridge – Riding Mill in the Farnley area. Network Rail engineers are onsite and accessing the situation. Trains will run Carlisle - Hexham - Carlisle and Newcastle - Prudhoe - Newcastle. A rail replacement bus will operate between Prudhoe and Hexham. Customers are advised to check before they travel and allow more time for their journey.
