Slightly different to that and obviously not to the scale of Team Valley, but Rainton Bridge Industrial Est was totally ignored until NPower struck up the deal with GNE.
There are any amount of small businesses, suppliers to automotive manufacturers etc, who are all major employers, but werent important enough to attract an operator to transport staff to and from work.

Traffic off the A19 at Doxford Park was percieved to be so bad, contractors were called in and thus extended and widened 1 slip road - surely the bigger picture needs looking at, such as why traffic in that direction is so high and to improve the general transport infrastructure, not just a specific slip road.

I know that the southbound sliproad off the A19 at Durham Road junction was widened and extended due to very high level of volume of traffic in rush hour which was causing delays on the A19 as traffic was at a craul and even stopped on the A19 Southbound. the Highway Agency needs to have a proper look at the A19 section to see what could be done due to high volume of traffic and traffic accidents (A19 has a bad reputation of being a accident blackspot).
