00:06is leaving them unable to plan ahead. The £900 million project would connect Washington with
00:13existing stations in South Hilton, Sunderland and Pylor. Some South Hilton residents fear the route
00:19could divide their village and affect homes nearby. Nexus says designs are not finalised
00:25and further public engagement is planned. The strategic authority says the scheme aims
00:30to improve connections and opportunities. People affected are being kept informed while
00:36discussions continue about the possible route. The extension would be the network's first
00:41in three decades if approved and built.
