Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Probably bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 41544 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I'd say so. Just to get a line from Benton to Forest Hall to Westmoor then Camperdown would involve such convoluted engineering, not to mention a massive amount of purchasing to build it. The existing system, as far as I know, was all routed on existing but defunct rail lines. To get from Westmoor to Camperdown you'd need to cross or go under the main East Coast line too. Can't see it, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Would be great if they ensured current one ran correctly before doing any sort of extension to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4293 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 The bit via Biddick Hall to East Boldon is feasible -there's an old railway line which is now a cycle path and I've seen that proposal before. In days of yore there used to be a track down the coast from westoe pit to Marsden which also could have been used with a bit of foresight but there was a rush to remove all evidence the pit existed.

Ayatollah Hermione 13695 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'd love to see a Metro line in Bensham. It'd be on fire after 4 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill 0 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 A station at Camperdown would be handy for me. It'll never happen though. Far too much completely new line would need to be put in place. It'd be much better if they focused their resources on improving the current shambles of a system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
