If Consett got a rail link I’d definitely consider a move there but as it is, it’s an hour on the bus to Newcastle for work which makes it a bit of a pain tbh.
thing is though, a rail link would'nt be much faster (if at all) than the peasant wagon is now
Well Sunderland to Newcastle is about 30 mins on the metro and that’s 12/13 miles. Consett to Newcastle is roughly the same distance.
That borders line is shit, should have been double lined the whole way down . One delay and the whole lot is fukkedGreat plan. Our local station is on the borders railway. It’s amazing to see how much development it’s encouraged.
Still a damn site better than the bus. Lots of things to improve on as well such as the quality, quantity and cleanliness of carriages, but a really good step in the right direction.That borders line is shit, should have been double lined the whole way down . One delay and the whole lot is fukked
I suggest the next time you visit the North East and have a look,
A town that was absolutely destroyed when the steel works closed has over a number of years pulled itself up from it's bootstraps. New housing going up and being sold as the prices are quite reasonable
The town has turned into a sort of dormitory town for people working in Newcastle and Durham with poor public transport links.
Your comment is typical southern based claptrap about a north east town you know nowt about,
Was'nt this part of the deal to get this north of tyne combined authority bollocks off the ground - to reopen the northumberland line
Th rest of us will be getting the square root of fuck all
Like I posted earlier, this is a story from last year, rehashed for this year. We should be wondering why.What load of old arse juice. When stories like this crop up they are either trying to make the little people in the north feel like they care about them or they are trying to offset the news that billions are about to be spent on transport in the south.

We voted for Brexit mate and thereby stopped the EU regional development fund which actually put money into poorer areas like the North East of England without or own government having much say in it and all financial decisions will now be made in Westminster going forward, so yes, we will be getting the square root of fuck all like you say. The new bridge in Sunderland will be the last such development we see up here for a very long time and anyone thinking this government will put money into railways in the North East are ridiculously deluded.

How long agoI’ve been to Consett unfortunately, it’s the closest thing to a time machine that mankind has.
My point exactly
How long ago
And what made your visit unfortunate?
