Yes, Not the full Durham Coast. But I believe a additional Metrocentre/Newcastle/Heworth/Sunderland service is still in the pipeline, Probably by extending one of the shuttles, Was numbered "TW1" in the document.
While at Heaton I was in a conversation with a two high up's while on my break and that there was potential for a North East-York stopping service, More likely if the full reopening of the Leamside get's the go ahead, With it being " Not too long away "  Of course this could just be speculation, But with the man that mentioned it being pretty high up, They could be some truth in it....

Track access applications for the May 2018 timetable change have been submitted. Major changes in the North East include: -

* Extension of Hexham terminators to Carlisle. The service pattern will now (mostly) be Carlisle - Middlesbrough and Carlisle to Morpeth.

* More weekday evening services on the Morpeth - Metrocentre and Newcastle - Middlesbrough routes.

* Extension of some Whitby services to Newcastle and Carlisle.

Between the 6 and 14 January a major track renewal project will take place near Newcastle station. This involves the closure of a bridge and a reduction in the number of trains that can enter Newcastle station from the South.

Northern services will be affected by this work. Trains between Newcastle and the Metrocentre will be replaced by buses.

Full timetables will be available to download here 2 weeks prior to the start of the work. Individual train times are already available at nationalrail.co.uk

When the new connect service starts between Boro - Durham - Carlisle with 158s ... is this going via Darlo (non stop)

Also what is happening to trains from Nunthorpe and Boro via Sunderland, Are these all only going as far as Metrocentre or Newcastle?

When are these changes due to take place ?

The plan is to run via the Stillington Branch so it won’t pass through Darlo.

I know it is used as a Diversion for the ECML when a blockade is in effect, but is the Stillington Line up to scratch for a full passenger service on the line, shame the Leamside could not be re-opened...A Leamside and Stillington full passenger and freight service could surely free up paths on the ECML between Newcastle and Northallerton and free some space on the Durham Coast line.

Out of interest whats happening with the Blyth and Tyne, will that ever has passenger services re-instated as people have campaigned for donkeys years to have it reopened

Sunderland ,Hartlepool and middlesbrough line has for decades been the poor relations to Newcastle area,regarding dmuunits.while the old pacers are going shortly,you have to give them some tribute.these units were a cheap build by BR  in the 80s.they were supposed to be a stop gap if I remember correctly,after getting rid of the first generation dmus. pacers were built to last 15-20 years at most. Because they are still running today, bears some testament to the trains themselves.the depot staff have to be recognised for their skills at keeping these trains on the rails way past their working life date.while some will be sorry to see these units go,the majority will welcome their demise.while class 158/156 dmus are a slight step up on the pacers,it is a disgrace that the seaham coast line will not get better ,newer trains, as these units were built I think in the early 90s.
