Does anyone know about the plans for the bishop auckland bus station and its timescales or is that to be realeased soon?

I wish that northern could do more routes between bishop, Darlington and Middlesbrough via the ecml, but the scheduling will be too full, even if someone just did Newcastle to york back and forth maybe with every 2 hours to bishop or Middlesbrough instead. It seems useless to me how the mainline trains always get blocked with people doing short journeys between york and Newcastle
