Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to provide funding for a new railway station building in Sunderland.
The North East city region has been shortlisted for a share of £1.22bn from the second tranche of the Government’s Transforming Cities Fund. A new station building in Sunderland is part of their proposal. The Department is currently reviewing TCF submissions received from all twelve shortlisted city regions and a decision on the allocation of funding is expected in March 2020.
