Sneak peek at project set to ‘revitalise’ Teesside transport links

Plans have been unveiled for a new railway station that aim to revitalise transport links in Teesside.

Redcar & Cleveland and Middlesbrough Councils and the Tees Valley Combined Authority have proposed the construction of a park and ride interchange between Nunthorpe and Guisborough.

Provisionally known as Roseberry Parkway, the new station aims to bring together trains, buses, cycle provision and parking to create an integrated hub serving Guisborough and East Cleveland, Stokesley and villages in North Yorkshire.

It is anticipated that the hub will see increased rail services to Middlesbrough and Whitby, as well as existing services to Newcastle, Carlisle and Whitby.

Cllr Mary Lanigan, leader of Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council, commented: “This is fantastic news for the region and particularly for people living in the towns and villages of East Cleveland.

“One of our priorities is to improve public transport and provide better connectivity for everyone.

“We are delighted to see these plans come to fruition and we will continue to develop further plans to improve transport links in East Cleveland.”

Middlesbrough Mayor Andy Preston said: “Good transport links are vital for a vibrant and successful local economy, and that’s why it’s essential that we work together to find the right solutions.

“This exciting proposal is a fantastic example of that approach, creating an innovative and forward-thinking facility that will improve access to employment, education, healthcare and other services.”
