Stories covering up the abandonment of Bebside Station as part of the reopening of the AB&T Northumberland Line have been issued by Tories over the last few days. Some from the MP for Blyth Ian Levy who had to make a climb down from his first position of his pantomime position of ‘Oh no were not’ in the Chronicle when he found out that his Tory Mates on both Northumberland County Council and in Government had said ‘Oh yes we are’.
People from the parts of Blyth affected by the abandonment feel let down and ignored by Northumberland Conservatives who vowed prior to the 2017 Local Government Elections never to deliver anything in Blyth, A promise they have well and truly kept.
Here’s the link to the article in the New Civil Engineer https://www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/northumberland-line-station-to-be-axed-in-project-speed-cuts-20-04-2021/?fbclid=IwAR0OiBAle6jMo59WxI5MzbCk27aEvdmaDi04WeDTpwBzNt3lT95QTxeO4Jw issuing out the same information as the Chronicle: That the project will go ahead without the transport hub at Bebside due to cost and this will then quicken the service from Ashngton to Newcastle.
Labour members have asked for clarification of the situation and pledged to finance the transport hub if they win a majority at the election on May 6th.
