As we understand it, the Northumberland County Council\u2019s full budget was approved in February and included funding for the GRIP 2 &amp; 3 studies from Network Rail, the GRIP 4 Study after that, and a significant contribution towards the actual re-opening costs (\u00a320m in total according to the Council\u2019s press release). And we had understood the Council were poised to sign the GRIP 3 contract as soon as the budget was approved. So why is the contract still unsigned?
