Tyne Valley Line
The Tyne Valley Line, built by the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, is a railway line in northern England. The 60-mile (97 km) line was built in the 1830s, and links the city of Newcastle upon Tyne in Tyne and Wear with Carlisle in Cumbria. Formal opening took place on 18 June 1838. The line follows the course of the River Tyne through Northumberland. Five stations and two viaducts on the route are listed structures. The line is referred to by the train operators as "The Hadrian's Wall Country Line."
Services
Passenger services on the Tyne Valley Line are operated by Northern Rail and Abellio ScotRail. The line is also heavily used for freight, and is an important diversionary route during East Coast Main Line closures. The line is not an electrified route. Passenger services are operated by diesel multiple units, typically Class 142 "Pacers", Class 156 "Super Sprinters" which were introduced in the late 1980s and on rare occasions Class 158s are used on this line, which were introduced in the early 1990s, before being transferred to other depots . Prior to this, Metro-Cammell Class 101 units were used.

Valley Line (Edmonton)
The Valley Line is a proposed 27 km (17 mi), low-floor urban line in Edmonton, Alberta. It will be part of the Edmonton LRT. It will run southeast to west from Mill Woods to Lewis Farms, crossing through downtown. The line will be constructed in phases, with phase 1 being the 13.1 km (8.1 mi), 12-station portion between Mill Woods and 102 Street (Downtown) allowing passengers to connect with the Capital Line and Metro Line at Churchill. Construction is expected to start in 2016 with completion in 2020.
Unlike the other trains in the system, the Valley line will operate low-floor Bombardier Flexity Freedom trains, which were first designed for Toronto's Eglinton Crosstown line.
