Rail Development?


Recommended Posts

An major opportunity was missed in not converting the old Dr/A Pit line into a light-rail rapid shuttle service to The Market Place.  It would have keep our "main" station operational too.  Not a huge project, and would have gone a little way to undoing some of the wrongs of the past in not putting us on the main line as Stevenson envisaged.  With a little station in the Market Place all the other proposed development, that has always stalled, would have followed on naturally.  The synergy would have fed into the main rail project, and relieved commuter congestion on the road network.  A complete lack of foresight and cohesive planning by local politicians I think.

I'm sitting next to the railway line right now, in a pub I should add, and think it an amazing lost opportunity. Can we reinstate choppington station?

Here`s what Dennis Fancett had to say when I spoke to him last year on Synergy Drive:

Interesting John, thanks!  Something might come out of this.

 

I notice the Dennis Fancett Community Help Hub.mp3 seems to be far too short - only 30 seconds! Can we try another copy, or did someone this end screw up?

I check all of the audio after I`ve uploaded them. This is the second one which has strangely become fore-shortened. I`ll upload it again & gradually check the rest.

Thanks for letting me know threegee.
