Use Hexham (HEX) in the departure field and check the platform for your booked direction. Keep all tickets available for inspection, including every part of a split-ticket journey.
The station record lists access from Station. Match the entrance to your departure platform before setting out; the nearest entrance is not necessarily the most accessible one.
If your booking offers ticket collection at Hexham, the recorded machine location is platform 2; platform 1. Check the collection instructions and allow time before your train; a listed machine is not confirmation that every ticket can be collected there.
When arriving at Hexham
Select Hexham (HEX) as the arrival station and plan the onward journey from that station, rather than from the centre of the wider area. Check your return departure separately, particularly when the return train uses a different platform.
Hexham has recorded Category B2 access. Check the platform access notes for both your outward arrival and return departure before choosing your trains; a step-free route in one direction does not establish access in the other.
