More than one

Bit limited as you can only realistically build up.
Needs a massive improvement like.

Saw this on another site and it’s 20 million and I would be happy with this design

Probably one of the reasons Burger King is empty
End of lease?
That whole block up to the back of littewoods needs flattening

Ha ha, so I hear. I live up that way now. Pie in the sky from our new MP I reckon

Great name for it

The flying pie in the sky

I'm expecting something to surpass st Pancras

The FB lot will demand nothing less.

That could buy you 8 Tomahawk missiles, suppose that would be a start.

Just a feasibility study at the moment. Along with consett into Newcastle.

ashginton/blyth into Newcastle will be the only major rail reopening up here over the next few decades IMO.

A bit of daylight or any natural light would do wonders for Sunderland station. It’s not that bad a station platform wise for a small provincial city - though could do with a wait here for metro sign on the platforms.

The big issue is the terrible rail links, not helped by metro being about as reliable as a Morris Marina

They should open up the mothballed platforms behind the artwork

and get better connections southerly to the ECML

I think the station should be moved south towards where the civic is and take it off the metro lines completely. From a site there passengers would have direct access to Parklane interchange

Sounds easy

Realistically is 16 million a lot for a construction project? Or will it literally just be a facelift.

definitely agree.......sadly I think the current station will get a lick of paint makeover with a lot of the £16m disappearing into the ether as consultancy fees. It’s the usual modus operandi

That's were the original station was
There's a plaque in the wall opposite museum entrance

Yes I've saw it there. Just think it's an ideal place for the station

Don’t think it was mind. Was that not just end of line or something? Or signal house?

 

[Big Jeff]

I don’t know. But in reality, they should completely demolish it and start again.

It’s a very unappealing building but don’t know if 16m is enough to cover starting again.

Anything is better than what’s there now so it’s very good news.
