Leamside Line

Lets think here. The line is not going to run into central Washington.

Station 1

So I think P+R is the answer here. Somewhere between the Travelodge at the A194M and A184 interchange and Follingsby Lane overbridge. Ideal for traffic coming from south of Chester Le Street and up the A19. No traffic queues, relatively easy commute.

Station 2

Somewhere between A1290 and A1231 next to Nissan. Well, you have Nissan but it has great access into Washington. Any P+R ideal for local residents around the area.

The branch is short and covers some of the largest areas. Station 3 and 4 could follow but with Station 1 and 2, we have an amazing line in place

Type of trains

It's funny, everyone jumps to the Metro but is that the best situation. Would a direct train into Newcastle Central be the best. Could Gateshead rejoin the National Rail network (could something be installed to the east of Gateshead near Parklane and Gateshead Stadium). Could 25kV be extended to here?
