Connecting the communities along the Bishop Line is what we’re all about.

To do this we work in several ways.

  • Working with partners we deliver projects in the community, great examples are Shildon in Motion and Our Line Connections.
  • We work within local schools and with partners to deliver rail skills and safety training.
  • We encourage members of the public to ‘adopt your station’ and help bring life back into your station.
  • We work with the train operating company Northern to provide a rail service which truly meets our communities’ needs and we need to hear the views of our community to help do that. So if you do have any feedback or ideas to improve the service please get in touch.
