Improve railway services in Seaham
Increase the number of carriages on the trains from Seaham or increase the number of trains to two an hour to meet capacity and demand . To meet volume of people wishing to travel by train and avoid trains being full and customers being unable to access train service.
Why is this important?
Seaham is a flourishing town with an increasing number of people moving into and visiting the area and requires a reliable train service for work or leisure purposes for the local community . Direct access transport services from Seaham to popular destinations such as Newcastle and the Metro Centre are limited and the train service is therefore vital and well used. However trains are limited to one an hour and two carriages, this is inadequate to meet local demand resulting in customers waiting for hours trying to get a train as they are often full.
