Alternate trains shown as calling at Manors. Is that a change from the original plan?
Maybe necessary to define 'original' plan it was so long ago and there've been various changes along the way. Manors was one of my old train spotting haunts so I've been saddened to see it sinking into oblivion.
My recollection is that trains were to stop at Manors with no note of how frequently. More recently that was starting to look doubtful. A year ago at the Transport for the North conference in Newcastle I directly asked Jamie Driscoll, metro mayor of the North of Tyne Combined Authority, if trains were to stop at Manors and he said they were.
The caveat has always been pathing on the corridor from Benton into Central.
