(14 Aug 2026, 1:30 pm)Adrian wrote Kim and Nexus are pushing the Metro to Washington project again over the last couple of days. The Nexus website has a new and updated project page for it: https://nexus.org.uk/who-we-are/projects...ashington/

It has a timeline of what has been taking place up until now, but the key take is that a second round of engagement sessions across Washington and Sunderland will take place during September, which will also coincide with the public announcement of where the proposed station locations and route will be.

I dont know if its just me but do we need this or not

It just seems like the money could go be spent on better especially since theres talks of the franchise 

Like this has been an extreme hot topic but im unsure if it'll work or even go ahead. Prices rise every single day and this project will probably become to expensive and be Curtailed or cancelled all together 

Kim seems to be doing to much at once and doesn't seem to be getting the best press with her constantly talking about the buses now. Yet nothing seems to be going ahead. Her mayor fares killed the coast road agreement and says she "cut metro fares cause people were asked" with the slime line then saying "with a pop pay as you go"

Yeah i cant see this happening even if it does. We will see cuts left right & center and possibly even it Curtailed
