The Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport (Sunderland) Order 1998
This Order authorises the Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive to construct works and acquire land and rights in land in the Metropolitan boroughs of Gateshead and South Tyneside, and in the City of Sunderland, for the extension of the Tyne and Wear Metro system from Pelaw to Sunderland and South Hylton. Between Pelaw, where a new interchange will be provided, and Sunderland the existing railway of Railtrack will be adapted for use by Metro trains as well as other services. Between Sunderland and South Hylton a new railway will be constructed largely on the site of the former Pallion railway. Copies of the plans, sections and book of reference mentioned in the Order are available for inspection free of charge during working hours at the offices of the Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive, Cuthbert House, All Saints, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 2DA.
