(01 Jan 2023, 2:22 pm)DeltaMan I was hoping for some New Year's Day reading to mellow the hangover. Has the actual business case for the Washington Loop been made public?

Given the track history of NEXUS and major schemes such as QCS, Project Orpheus, Western Links to name a few, I would love to have a read where the say all the extra passengers are coming from if the alignment down the east of Washington is correct.

https://northeastca.gov.uk/wp-content/up...1.2022.pdf - It's in there but it's rather vague.

It won't happen in our lifetime.

But still, it's a plan to rehash every ten years or so.

Thanks.

Christ, all I can say is we need a new Transport Joint Committee. Where are the expected housing numbers?

There is no chance any Government of whatever colour is going to fund that without big numbers of homes on the east side of Washington.

Aye totally agreed it's just bonkers, like I could get a half hourly national rail service extending down to Ferry Hill additionally serving more of the pit villages on the Leamside line that would work but trains 6 TPH is just cloud cuckoo land.

It doesn't help you can't really build near the stations as it's all green belt aswell.

Washington East ward has had massive development over the two decades. More so than any other part of Washington, and including over 1000 houses and a new village centre.

Its because of Sunderland Station being closed until further notice due to flooding therefore trains aren't running through it to Park Lane.

Ah pretty sure the service is still at every 20 mins PVR 2.

Ive seen it several times through the week and there has been barely any people on it (not sure if they are choosing to get the 8/20)

The St Peters extension today saw the frequency reduced to every 30 minutes (from every 20) to allow it to operate with the same resource.

Ah thanks for the info.

If Solos are just needed for the 901 at every 30 mins that would worry me about loadings on the normal metro.

So in one hand, they're committing to an unfunded reduction to £2 for single journeys. A scheme that is costing Nexus money, because its out of scope of the Govt scheme buses are signed up to. Yet on the other hand, they're trying to justify an inflation-busting fare hike.

You really couldn't make it up.
