Very useful meeting this morning with Gerry Sothcott from the Cramlington Development Trust about how to secure improved rail services for Cramlington. It’s Northumberland’s largest town with a station, yet only gets an hourly service, with the first weekday train to Newcastle not until 08:05, Useless for anyone who needs to start work before 08:30. Cramlington continues to be one of SENRUG’s top 3 campaign objectives, along with the Ashington re-opening and the local service to Berwick.
