There’s lots of talk about trains at the moment so I used this opportunity to emphasise the strong case for reopening the Leamside Line.
I want to see commitment to invest in the full reopening of the Leamside Line which would greatly benefit communities such as Ferryhill.
The Leamside Line is a vital connection for our region that would help to address capacity constraints on the East Coast Main Line and provide enhanced local connections to opportunities for employment and education.
