The Grade II* listed building that can't really have much done to it?

Could build the new station around it

Yeah sounds like it, and possibly demolishing the signal house block to create a better southern entrance.

Looks like the poundland building is going to be knocked down
""This new northern entrance will sit in a new public square, delivering an impressive arrival point in the Central Business District of Riverside Sunderland and will be framed by the beautiful Elephant Tearooms and Mackie’s Corner that are springing back to life.”"

It's one of the few decent buildings in Sunderland that's pleasing on the eye, the last thing it needs is spoiling with a new build next to it.

I said that back in november 2019 but was ignored
Sunderland Central Railway Station
Will have to have a look at that. It's called Cross Vale Road. Knew it was somet like that.

"The civic site is going to be housing/flats. The train station as in platforms is staying where it is but the entrance is going to be the pound shop"
That does sound good. Lots of cities have the train station exiting into a square surrounded by shops, cafes and bars which give life and character to a place. Much better than emerging into Burger King or Milligan’s.

Will be nice to have something which we all aren’t embarrassed over.

What has changed in the council, seems we have ambitious enablers there vs barriers? Dont know local politics but this cant be coincidence.

Independence from ONE.
Oh aye, the existing enterprise rental garage that used to be a petrol station is really pleasing to the eye.
You can’t get a train to anywhere, maybe a metro to Newcastle

I got a direct train from KX after the play off final in 2019.
The magic train, I think there might be one or two per day
So your initial post was ill informed crap. As normal.

I wouldn't have objected to that being knocked down when it stopped being a petrol station, but when it was built there was nee thing as listed buildings. Never in a thousand years would it have got planning permission nowadays.

If they can get the funds for infastructure then operators will use it imo. Many of those in our city and surronding areas forced to go north of south. Having real options to travel to and from our city, linking it properly with ECM can only be a good thing for all IMO.
Make a killing next to a functional railway station serving proper routes. Also down the road from new homes and the business district and just over bridge from the SOL after games.
Take the JJB cladding off and its a nice old building. Will need a lot spending on it but if they start it'll be great once done. Just look at the old frontage on the side street for possible potential. Mackies corner too. Could all come together if we make most of the older buildings we have left.
