Funds Committed To Explore More Rail Expansion
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.
This is the sub-heading.
Money has been allocated to develop plans to extend a popular rail route reinstated 15 months ago
These three paragraphs add more details.
Last week, the North East Combined Authority (NECA) committed an initial £2.5m to a dedicated Rail Development Fund, which included plans to expand the Northumberland Line.
Northumberland County Council leader Glen Sanderson said he hoped planning applications for the line’s extension to Newbiggin-on-Sea could be submitted by 2028 and suggested a station could be added to serve Wansbeck General Hospital.
The funding would be used to “accelerate rail‑related scheme development across the region” including a plan to reopen Ferryhill Station in County Durham as part of the Leamside Line.
This would appear to be most of what campaigners want.
