(05 Feb 2022, 10:06 am)Andreos1 I'm not sure how feasible it would be to put on the old site.That would be closer to the College as well, East Street and its little tributaries is closest on the west side, up to Union Electric Steel, east side is the back of, and car park adjacent to, the college.
My own thoughts were that it would be somewhere down by the Sage itself. Maybe opposite the bingo where theres a car park currently.

(05 Feb 2022, 7:43 pm)Storx If it was down there it would have to be all the way down by Coulthards Lane. New stations on curves are banned now hence some of the rather bizarre positioning of stations on the B&T line.St. Peter's is an ideal option for a station on the short straight by Oakwellgate, otherwise the next straight is over Coulthards Lane
I'm not sure whether it would be plausable but it's shame they could jam a station on the viaduct here. It would be ideal for the Sage and the Sage even if it was only single platform. Don't see it being a big issue on a 30 min max service.

(04 Oct 2023, 12:08 pm)Adrian HS2 canned then. Worst kept secret ever: https://news.sky.com/story/hs2-rishi-sun...d-12976382
HS2 will be limited to Euston-Birmingham. Apparently this frees up £36bn for "hundreds of new transport projects in the North and the Midlands, and across the country". It remains to be seen whether this is new money, or the usual trick of recycling old money.
Oh, and it didn't take long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOJHz3pU7mI

Not sure of the wisdom of calling a station "Durham Parkway" when you cannot catch a train from there into Durham! Imagine the confusion for visitors, parking at the Parkway station, asking for a ticket to Durham and then finding out they'll be travelling all the way up to Newcastle to change and come back done again.

(05 Oct 2023, 8:10 am)cbma06 It’s more similar to Seaburn Station , where the younger generation thinks it’s nowhere near Seaburn seafront because it’s too far for them to walk but never bothered with the older generation in the olden days , younger generation wants to be spoon fed from the corrupt government

(05 Oct 2023, 9:24 am)deanmachine All needs rebuilding, but the right of way is still all there so there's nothing in the way. The track used to be there into the early 2000s, my Dad lives next to it in Biddick Woods and we used to walk along it when I was a kid, but it's definitely gone now.
