  • Horden Station
    Horden Railway – Transcript https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkDsEpj2rdk&feature=youtu.be Upbeat music plays [Text: Horden Railway Station] [Text: Chris Heaton-Harris MP. Minster of State, Department for Transport] Chris Heaton-Harris: Hi there. I’m delighted that Horden Station is opening today, congratulations to everyone involved in delivering this exciting project that I have no doubt will bring fantastic benefits to the people of Horden and the wider region too. People of Horden have been waiting almost sixty years to access rail services since the nearest station was closed under the beaching cuts. But now this vital community will at last be able to benefit from access to rail services that this new station brings. As you all know rail connectivity brings with it new opportunities, boosts the local economy and gives people greater access to jobs and education and I’m extremely proud that Horden Station is the seventh to be built using funding from the governments new stations fund, part of our wider restoring your railway fund. We’re committed to reversing some of the damaging beaching cuts of the past and want to use the power of transport to level up regions like the north east and unlock their economic potential so that everyone in our country can thrive. So, congratulations again to all that have worked so hard to make the opening of this station possible. I’m sorry I’m trapped here in my Westminster office and cannot visit the station today in person, but I look forward to being able to do so in the future.

Here I am again putting down my thoughts for the 2018 Annual Report. This one however will be my last as I am stepping down as Chair in 2019 as I indicated at the last AGM. I do however hope to continue in some capacity to support the Bishop Line into the future. I am as usual indebted to all who have contributed to making the partnership a success this year - you know who you are. I am particularly grateful for all the hard work done by our Community Rail Officer, Bob Whitehouse, not only this last year but throughout his many years in the job. Again, Bob is also leaving his post in 2019 and I am sure that you will all join with me in wishing him well in whatever he pursues next. I’m sure we’ve not heard the last from Bob..... I would also like to extend my gratitude to Stuart Woods our Secretary for his help, support and friendship. Whilst the rail industry generally and the Northern franchise in particular have gone through turbulent times in 2018 which has been challenging for customers, stakeholders and employees alike, the Bishop Line has been relatively unaffected by the troubles on the rest of the rail network.

  • Transport in County Durham
    Transport Ref EHT 006 Why is it important? Transport in County Durham County Durham’s transport network provides a vital role in terms of linking people to jobs, delivering products to market, providing access to key services and keeping our communities connected. Transport statistics are valuable as they help us to understand where transport investment should be targeted. Walking and Cycling Network Local travel options will continue to be promoted through ongoing improvements to the existing local cycle and footpath networks as well as the existing National Cycle Network and other promoted routes. Cycling Super Routes, Primary and Secondary routes which connect our major settlements are being identified in the Cycling Strategy and Action Plan 2017-27, as part of a long-term strategy to improve the cycling network. In order to promote sustainable travel, the Cycle Super Routes are a priority for investment, particularly those within 5 miles of Durham City. Bus Network Buses provide the only form of public transport in most parts of County Durham, with 23.61 million passenger journeys starting at bus stops in County Durham in 2015/16. There is an extensive network of services, with approximately 175 services in the main network plus additional services running only at school times. Over 3,000 bus stops are served. Most settlements have at least 2 buses per hour during Monday to Saturday daytimes, with much higher frequencies in the main towns and along many of the main inter-urban corridors. In the more rural areas, services run every hour or less often. All but the smallest settlements have regular services.
