About the event
This panel will highlight investment, regeneration and transformation opportunities that economic corridors can create for towns, communities and residents.
The reopening of the Northumberland Line, which has already surpassed one million passenger journeys, is proving the catalytic role rail infrastructure can play in unlocking growth and investment.
