North East Mayor plans £8m investment to extend Tyne and Wear Metro to Washington via Leamside Line restoration, part of a £745m project.
North East Mayor Kim McGuinness will invest £8m to bring the Tyne and Wear Metro to Washington, with the Leamside Line restoration being considered the single most important infrastructure upgrade in the North East. The Leamside Line extension could see the Metro network expand from South Hylton to Washington, Follingsby, and rejoin at Pelaw. The ambitious project, still years away, is expected to cost around £745m.
