our money runs out you mean

isn't this pic like ultimate integrated transport for the north east. prob why it will never get funding makes too much sense :P

stueybish just so u know i support you bish station looks better now than it has for a long time. The vandalism is terrible there no chance of getting the police involved or maybe some shutters to lock up the platform or dare i say it more cctv?

from what i can remember he wanted to attract charter trains to weardale to stop at bishop too and reopen the toilets and waiting room that was all dont think that would be to unrealistic at all

IMHO DTV airport will never have a decent rail requirement because give it 5 years and the airport will be closed. also split the Bish-Saltburn service and you might aswell close the Bishop line no one will split their journey to get to boro etc. Also if the weardale railway was to run the...

wish it was hourly from Bishop to Darlo would make it possible for me to get home on the train in reasonable time.

yeah went up weardale in 1990
