I was thinking the same thing Alan.
Even if the other bridge isn't electrified all the diesel services could still have used it with just a reversal in Newcastle station.
Just a guess as I don't know the area very well but perhaps there have been some trackwork mods made to save money and the line is probably no longer suitable for passenger trains. Do we have any Geordies on the forum?
