If only LNER brought more services to Sunderland or Grand Central Trains extending to Newcastle.LNER is going to add a double daily service soon. GC and Northern along with CC are all owned by arriva so it would make sense. GC are tight on time with about trains and still on a tight schedule so doubt that would work. Would make sense if CC went with a extension. Same if TPE could too.
