Bedlington North signal box sits in between two sections of double track controlling the junction, the signalling, and the level crossing. To the left, running behind the box, is the main access line into the complex of tracks directly from the ECML some five miles away at Morpeth. In the foreground, curving away to the right is the double-track leading to the former Alcan smelter and power station and the alumina import facility at North Blyth. The signal box is in smart condition only spoilt by the usual UPVC cladding being a NER structure dating from 1912.
