We shall be holding a meeting with transport officers from Hartlepool and from the Tees Valley Combined Authority on Thursday March 16th at 2.00pm, in the People’s Centre on Raby Road, Hartlepool.

The speakers are  TONY HANSON (Hartlepool Borough Council), STEVE PAYNE (Tees Valley Combined Authority), DAVID COOPER (TVCA)  and ALAN WESTON (TVCA). They will give us one or more presentations on the intended future development of rail services and facilities on our line, and then we shall have chance to discuss these – and probably other relevant points – with them.

All welcome
