Ashington Blyth & Tyne Line

Steve Broadbent from the prestigious Rail Magazine has been in contact, following SENRUG’s Press Release giving our response to the Council’s announcement which I have now confirmed is that they have commissioned the GRIP 2 Study from Network Rail. I gave him lots of information and invited him to come up and visit, which hopefully he will do in the new year. I never realised before but Steve said he was the founder of the SELRAP Skipton – Colne Re-opening Campaign so we had a lot in common about the need to establish genuine co-operative partnerships with local authorities.
