by train, amended timetables are now online.
A three day line closure between York and Darlington in both
directions (Sat 23.05, Sun 24.05, Mon 25.05) means that bus
replacements between those two stations will run.
Unlike previous closures north of York, there don't look to be any
direct services to and from Newcastle via Hartlepool.

Match action is online

Michael Carrick suffered his first defeat as Manchester United boss
on Wednesday, beaten by his boyhood club thanks to an incredible
late strike from William Osula.
The Magpies striker was preferred to Yoane Wissa when Eddie Howe
looked to his bench in the closing stages and took just five minutes
to start and end the move with an unstoppable curling rocket shot in
the 90th minute.
To still be level at that point in proceedings was testament to a
gutsy Newcastle display, after they were reduced to ten men in first
half added time when Jacob Ramsey was harshly dismissed for
supposedly diving for a penalty.
Referee Peter Bankes had already incurred the wrath of the home
crowd for some bizarre decisions, but then correctly pointed to the
spot after Bruno Fernandes clipped Gordon - the Newcastle forward
making no mistake from 12 yards.
Inexplicably though, the referee allowed the game to continue way
beyond a sensible duration, until the visitors levelled in the ninth
minute of time added on, Casemiro heading home a Fernandes free kick
from the right wing.
Beaten in each of their previous three home league games and having
won just once in seven outings, a point then looked like a tall
order for Newcastle, never mind three.
However a tenacious display from the ten-man Magpies brought them a
fourth successive victory here against the Red Devils, Kieran
Trippier's intelligence and Joelinton's (mostly) controlled
aggression both key factors.
Having regularly questioned the commitment of Joe Willock, it's fair
to mention him in dispatches for his display here, while Sandro
Tonali literally ran himself to a standstill.
The headlines went to Osula for his fabulous strike, but the
recalled Aaron Ramsdale vitally kept his side on level terms after
the break until the late winner, acrobatically denying both Leny
Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee.
That Osula and Ramsdale were on the field - along with Dan Burn
despite his tired display against Everton - were due to decisions
made by Howe, who ended up having a night to remember after some
recent ones better forgotten about.

since Chris Kavanagh at Aston Villa last month in the FA Cup. What
the *** is going on with these referees?
VAR: Paul Tierney
Eddie Howe said:
"We got a red card and it
would have been an easy feeling for the lads to feel sorry for
ourselves and think, 'Here we go again'.
"That's the biggest compliment I can give the lads: they really
stood up in that second half and have all given more. They have all
believed they can win the game.
"That's one of the best emotions
that I think I've felt. I'm sure a lot of people will say the same.
"An amazing night. It was a great performance all the way through.
11 v 11 or 11 v 10. I thought we deserved to win.
"The main emotion was trying to
work out how we'd play in that second half. We wanted to regroup. I
thought Jacob Ramsey's sending off was really harsh. I don't think
he's looking for a penalty there.
"We knew we wouldn't have the
majority of the ball and that we'd have to defend well. There have
been a lot of questions about our defending lately, so it was a good
opportunity to answer those questions and we did.
"At 10 men, you know your
goalkeeper is going to have saves to make. He's a top-class
goalkeeper with really good experience.
On Anthony Gordon:
"He's turned into a very good penalty taker for us. He earned the
penalty himself with a typical driving run.
"I think the pairing of Gordon and (Anthony) Elanga gave them
trouble in the second half."
On Will Osula's goal:
"He did 10 shots at the end of training and he wanted more. Fair
play to him. It's the desire to repeat and to practice.
"A carbon copy of the
goal he scored today: he scored eight out of 10 and that's all
credit to the player.
"He wanted to do more before he went in and I'm a great believer
that if you do the work, you get the reward. I'm delighted for him.
"He's delivered an amazing moment for the supporters here. It's a
great moment for him and he deserves it. Hopefully it's a turning
point for him.
"A big moment for us. We've
proved we're competitive against any team."
Stats:
Newcastle won their fourth successive home league game
against Manchester United, something that they last achieved
in 1931.
Anthony Gordon's 22nd Premier League goal for
United puts him level with Jacob Murphy and Laurent Robert. His next
targets are Miggy Almiron and Kieron Dyer (both 23) and Joelinton
(24). He now has 15 for the season in all competitions, including
nine penalty conversions.
William Osula netted his third PL goal for the Magpies,
all in home games, all at the Gallowgate End and all after he's come
off the bench.
April 2025 Ipswich Town (h) won 3-0
77 mins on as substitute, 80 mins scored.

Premier League:
United
What a contrast to Saturday's home defeat to Everton.
St. James' Park was back to its very best last night with
supporters, players and staff coming together as one to claim a
famous victory over perennial pains, Manchester United.
Useless referee, Peter Bankes also unwittingly contributed to the
feeling of injustice that stoked the fires, creating a cauldron of
noise to defeat the Red Devils once again on Tyneside.
The fight on the pitch was echoed vociferously in the stands and the
disgraceful sending off of Jacob Ramsey gave everyone a common cause
to rally the troops and defeat the enemy.
It was a magnificent effort from those on and off the pitch and was
rightly rewarded when Will Osula curled in that last minute winner,
silencing the nauseating away section who still persist with their
pathetic 30-year old Shearer ditty.
Take a bow, everyone that contributed to a memorable night at
Gallowgate when this club was truly United.

TV times
Wednesday saw the Premier League confirm their fixture amendments for April,
affecting Newcastle as follows:
Sat 11.04.2026 Crystal Palace (a) 3pm No live TV
Sat 18.04.2026 Bournemouth (h) 3pm No live TV
Sat 25.04.2026 Arsenal (a) 5.30pm Sky
The PL note that scheduling of the Arsenal game is still "Subject
to participation in UEFA competitions and FA Cup."
To clarify, progress to the FA Cup Semi-final for either side would see the
Premier League game postponed due to a fixture clash.
We're not quite sure why the PL mention UEFA competitions for this
game; a Saturday teatime slot not impinging on any potential
involvement for either side in Champions League Semi-final slots on
Tue 28.04.2026 or Wed 29.04.2026.
Re: Palace (a), the PL don't mention this game would move from the
Saturday - and be televised - were Palace in UEFA Conference League
Quarter-final action on Thu 09.04.2026.
That's exactly what happened at short notice when Palace progressed
to the last 16, with their PL home game versus Leeds pushed back 24
hours to Sun 15.03.2026 (2pm).
Whether Palace progress to the Quarter-Finals will be known after
their last 16 second leg on Thu 19.03.2026.
(Were Newcastle to defeat Barcelona, the scheduling of their
Champions League Quarter-final tie on Tue 14.04.2026 or Wed
15.04.2026 would also be a factor in when the Palace game is played.
If both sides were still in Europe, we don't know how that situation
would be resolved).
PS: Victory over Manchester City on Saturday would see the Magpies in
FA Cup Sixth Round action on or around Saturday April 4th. Defeat
would leave them with a free weekend.
U21s:
Salia sighted
Newcastle U21s 2
Northern Ireland U19s 1
Tuesday saw Newcastle U21s record a home friendly victory
behind closed doors, Georgian teenager Vakhtang Salia netting
on his long-awaited debut.
The striker has been injured since his move from Dinamo Tblisi was
completed at the start of the season but marked his first 45 minutes
with the opening goal for United.
The Northern Irish youngsters levelled before half time, but Joe
Brayson won it for the Magpies - Matheos Ferreira also seeing
his late penalty saved.

On This Day in History |
|
5th March |
|
Born Or Died:
1952 Keith Kennedy
born, sunderland.
(1968-72)
The elder brother of fellow
Newcastle left back Alan, Keith appeared just once for
Newcastle's first team - in a 0-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest in April 1972.
Exiting SJP shortly after that, he signed for Bury and went on to make over 400 league
starts in a decade with the Shakers.
Awarded a testimonial in May 1982, the opposition were fittingly
provided by his brother's Liverpool side, Bury winning 8-7.
Keith's small contribution to musical history came in 1972 when a
group of Bury players and local school kids recorded "Up The
Shakers" with instrumental backing from members of 10cc, pop
pickers....
Later moves took him to Mansfield Town, Barrow and Morecambe before retiring -
after which he ran a greetings card business.
 1973 Death of Wilf
Feeney, 62.
(1930-32)
1982 David Cowan born, Whitehaven.
(1998-2002)
Defender who appeared for Newcastle at Academy and reserve
level before being released in 2002.
After trials at Walsall, Livingston, Wigan and Oldham,
David joined Motherwell but was to suffer a double ankle
fracture in a game against Celtic that sidelined him for a
year and put his career in doubt.
Returning to fitness but failing to win his place back, Cowan later served both St.Johnstone and Ross County.
Returning to England for a trial at Blackpool,
Cowan joined Gretna but found himself a free agent
when they were forced to resign from the SPL in 2008.
Snapped up by Dundee, former Magpie reserve
colleague Colin McMenamin also made the same switch from Gretna and
Cowan became a regular starter at Dens Park, earning an extended
two-year deal.
However, he found himself sidelined once again in the latter
part of 2009, having surgery to cure a groin problem.
Released after Dundee failed to win promotion,
a short-term deal at Livingston followed in January 2011.
Beginning the following season with East Fife, David
switched to Cowdenbeath and helped the Blue Brazil become
Scottish Second Division Champions.
He then agreed a further one season deal to remain at Central
Park before briefly rejoining East Fife in February 2014.
1994 Michael
Riley born, Newcastle.
(2010-13)
Left back who
debuted for the U18s in August 2010, appearing as a substitute in a 2-2
home draw with MK Dons.
The nephew of ex-Magpie Ian Bogie, Michael made
his reserve team bow in a 2-1 win over Arsenal at Gallowgate days after his 17th birthday in March 2011.
Netting his first U18s goal away to Crewe the following month,
Riley then rounded off his season by coming off the bench in
the final of the Northumberland Senior Cup as United overcame
Blyth Spartans at SJP.
Loaned to Spartans in December 2012, Riley was released by
United the following month and went to Hartlepool United on
trial with fellow discard Marcus Maddison.
However, short-term deals for both players were ruled out due to Football League regulations restricting the Poolies wage bill compared to their turnover.
Michael later played for Newcastle Benfield, linking up with League Two Oxford United for a trial
in November 2014.
Lweaving Benfield in 2015, he later served Jarrow Roofing
and Blyth Town.

Not the greatest of Monday
nights at Dublin's Dalymount

following a quartet of
injuries.
With all three substitutes
used, Alan Kennedy was unable
to continue and limped off in
the 70th minute of an
uneventful game.
Midfielder Tony Green
completed 90 minutes of his
comeback after six months out,
while there was a first senior
outing for recent arrival
Terry McDermott.
Irving Nattrass and Stewart
Barrowclough were absent due to selection for

travel due to fitness
issues.

The Magpies extended their
unbeaten run to five games
thanks to a second Selhurst
success against the Eagles in

Imre Varadi profited from
Terry McDermott's through ball
to open the scoring before
Chris Waddle was credited with
the second, despite Palace

Geremi(62)

Who said cheats never
prosper? Having called off the
original game due to non-existent
snow, the smogs were back
to full strength to dent what had almost become a
title challenge for United.
Future
Magpie Geremi scored, although Sir Bobby
Robson felt that referee Andy D'Urso
ignored fouls on
both Jermaine Jenas and Craig
Bellamy before the goal.
This was our first loss at
the Riverside in six league
visits (four wins, two draws)
and the first time we'd failed
to score.

Robert(70)
52,323
United's 200th Premiership win came in our 1,500th top-flight home game
thanks to a fine Laurent Robert free kick.
Alan Shearer played his 400th
Premier game, while Aaron Hughes made his 250th senior Newcastle start
in all competitions.
NUFC.com match
report
2007
It was just one defeat in twenty home reserve
league games for Newcastle after a goalless draw against Bolton, but
that came as little comfort to anyone present at a windy and wet Kingston
Park.
Neither side conjured up anything to excite the sparse crowd,
although United 'keeper Fraser Forster was busier than his opposite number,
veteran Ian Walker.
Debutant trialist Lee Kerr was paired in attack with Albert Luque and the
Whitley Bay forward almost got off to a dream start after three minutes, but
his header went narrowly wide.
NUFC.com match report
2009 The FA confirmed that Steven Taylor would face no further action
after his booking
against Manchester United.
Referee Steve Bennett confirmed that he cautioned Taylor for an incident
late in the first half; only later made aware of a foul in the lead-up to that bookable offence.
Taylor had made contact with Cristiano Ronaldo's shoulder (causing him to
clutch his face) before the
tackle on Michael Carrick that he was actually booked for.

Leon Best's sixth goal of the season wasn't enough to ensure that United
collected maximum points, as they ended a run of three successive home draws
with defeat by the Toffees.
And rather than reaching for the dizzy heights of the top six, the Magpies were
left glancing over their shoulder despite remaining in ninth spot - after
results elsewhere made the race to avoid relegation incredibly open.
NUFC.com match report
2012 Willie Donachie's reserves escaped with a 0-4 loss at Villa Park, thanks to some
wayward finishing from the more experienced Villans, who also struck the goal
frame on six occasions.
Youngsters Alex Baird, Steven Logan and Alex Kitchen were all handed debuts.
