Letter of the week: Other parts of Sunderland area need Metro stations
Nice to see that Julie Elliott's campaign to get the station in Sunderland upgraded from its dilapidated unwelcoming state finally looks to be coming to fruition.
However, may I suggest she join forces with other local MPs and campaign to get the so-called Tyne and Wear Metro to truly serve the people of Tyne and Wear.

There is a station in almost every district in Newcastle and South Tyneside why not here, Wearside?
Name and address withheld.
