The Cancellation of the Leem Side Line

In this chapter, they discuss the cancellation of a proposed project called the Leem Side Line that was supposed to run from Gateshead to County Durham. Instead of allocating the funds to the HS2 project, the money will now be used for various different things including rail and sustainable transport settlements. They explain that the decision of how the money will be used will be up to the local mayors, who may choose to complete the entire project as heavy rail or a mixture of different projects.
