(27 Nov 2014, 9:28 am)Kuyoyo wrote Sunderland's service is starting next May - a one a day extension of a Newcastle train, doubling to 2 a day in May 2019 both HST-operated until May 2020 when the IEP replace them.
Middlesbrough and Thornaby are served from May 2020 with trains reversing at Darlington - 7 southbound and 6 northbound trains a day operated by IEPs from day 1.
Cheers for the info =)
I think we need more trains to London from the North East
