Restoring the full length of the mothballed Leamside railway line could provide new train links for 100,000 people and unlock the potential to build 10,000 homes.
Bringing the disused route back into service, having been closed in the Beeching cuts of the 1960s, is seen as the single most important infrastructure upgrade for the economic future of the North East.
