CAMPAIGNERS pressing for better rail links will meet at the weekend.
The North-East branch of the Rail Development Society will hold its annual meeting in the Royal Station Hotel, Newcastle, on Saturday, at 2pm.
Neil Buxton, of the Association of Community Rail Partnerships, will talk on the development of the Esk Valley line, between Middlesbrough and Whitby, that also links up with the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
The group is campaigning for the restoration of passenger services on the Stillington branch line, linking Ferryhill, in County Durham, and Stockton, plus the re-opening of the Leamside line, running from Ferryhill to Gateshead.
