We the undersigned wish to express our support for the continuation of a regular,daily,train service between Bishop Auckland & Darlington every day of the week,including Sundays. We feel that maintenance of the rail service to, at least,the current service levels is vital to the economy of the towns of Newton Aycliffe, Shildon and Bishop Auckland.Any reduction would cause great inconvenience and economic difficulty for the population of the area by isolating it from the National Rail Network. We believe that as railways are the most efficient and environmentally friendly means of transport we should be looking to improve the service levels and encourage people to use trains as their preferred mode of transport.
