TRAIN: Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen visiting Darlington locomotive works
THE Tees Valley Mayor has undergone a tour of Darlington locomotive works.
Ben Houchen heard first-hand about the plans by the Trust for a new steam centre in Darlington where it would build and maintain its locomotives and rolling stock.
Mr Houchen said: “This is a wonderful project taking place at the home of the modern passenger railway and we should be getting behind it.
“It was exciting to hear the Trust is looking to expand into at a larger and better facility," he added.
