It wasn’t a bay platform by mid 2019, the planning docs already had a reversing siding beyond the down side platform, which would only be used if a freight needed to pass immediately after a passenger train. The up platform wasn’t proposed for reinstatement, I expect that would only ever happen if a northern extension is added.Public consultation is live now on the Northumberland County Council website until 14th December, along with lots of detail around the proposal.

Looks like Ashington is no longer proposed to be a bay platform so makes a future extension to Newbiggin or the North easier.
