That sounds very cheap for what they're doing. I'm guessing it's going to go way over budget (it's a council project, so that goes without saying)

Absolutely ridiculous it has been less than 20 years since they completely remodelled the front of the station. A complete waste of tax payer's money causing endless disruption for commuters. How about spending the money on reopening the railway to Ashington instead

Another needless vanity project.
