The Department for Transport has no plans to build a station at Gilsland. It would be for Cumbria and Northumberland county councils to work with the rail industry to determine whether a new <?notus-xml column=112?> station is the best way to meet local transport needs and to identify any funding required from locally allocated budgets. I have no plans to visit the area but would be delighted to do so should the county councils decide to proceed with the scheme.
