ADDITIONAL £10M FUNDING FOR LINE SET TO BE APPROVED

The North East Combined Authority’s cabinet has been recommended to approve the cash ahead of a meeting tomorrow.

The project, which connects south east Northumberland to Tyneside by passenger rail for the first time since the 1960s, is nearing completion with three of the six stations already open.

However, bosses at Northumberland County Council revealed that a funding gap of almost £40m needed to be plugged.

The council's cabinet has already approved a £10m spend while an additional £17m has been pledged by the Department for Transport.
