Chathill railway station serves the village of Chathill in Northumberland, England, and the nearby villages of Seahouses, Embleton, Bamburgh and Belford.
Although located on the East Coast Main Line, the station is served by just two arrivals and departures, Mondays to Saturdays, providing commuting links to and From Newcastle upon Tyne. The services are operated by Northern Rail, which also manages the station. As Chathill is the northern terminus of these services and the Northern Rail network, there are no direct connections between Chathill and stations further north.
Between 1898 and 1951, Chathill was the southwestern terminus of the North Sunderland Railway. Independent until its final closure, it formed a standard gauge rail link to the fishing village of Seahouses (Wright, 1988).
