Sunderland's 'eyesore' train station demolished as part of £100m transport hub plans

Sunderland's much-maligned train station has vanished from the city skyline.

The southern entrance of Sunderland's station is gone, with demolition work which started in the summer now complete. The old building has been completely dismantled as part of a committed £26m revamp of the station, which is part of a £100m plan to transform the whole transport hub.

Driven by Sunderland City Council, in partnership with Network Rail, Nexus, Grand Central and Northern Rail, contractor BAM Nuttall will now begin work on a glazed structure to deliver a light, bright and airy welcome to Sunderland.
