Very good idea when it was proposed in the early 2000's , a fast , modern train network covering up to about 650,000 people , and a then busy regional airport. Obviously it went t*ts up with the economic crash in 2008 and then the slash and burn of the Tories getting back in.
I assumed with the freed up finance of the HS2 being cut it would be on the table again , I have seen several projects listed around the north east as a result of this but they are all Newcastle and Sunderland centred, no offence but that is where regional spending has gone prior so shouldn't it be more fairly spread now , when we have the opportunity?
