Sunderland railway station

Really? Good news. I understood they bought Poundland but that was it.

Redeveloping Monkwearmouth Station in to the main gateway into town would fit in with the whole redevelopment of that area. A lot of cheaper than throwing more money into the hole in the ground over the water.

I don’t know but I would be surprised if those businesses owned the properties. Will be leases.

They will be so you’d need to acquire the freehold based on the value of the lease. You’d then have to wait until leases expire or buy them out. Which would be exceptionally expensive as businesses would want compensation to relocate.

Totally agree and I too have suggested that before. Think the council do own most of that area in sheepfolds.

the chronicle are obsessed with Sunderland for some strange reason.

That looks brilliant.

Just need some decent, on time, large enough trains now ffs. Still see 2 carriages on their way up, daily.

Looks class, nice to see all that glass and a high roof, let plenty of light in. Be interesting to see platform level though, guessing there's not a lot they can do about that.

Surprising to see mostly positive comments on Facebook!

A couple whingers, like, to be expected.

should be building affordable housing for the next generation instead, apparently

Looks tremendous. Finally a step in the right direction. 4 live tracks as well according to the echo.
