More than 10,000 people have pledged their support for a Sunday service on the Worksop-to-Nottingham Robin Hood Line (link below.) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/nottinghamshire/7132738.stmCampaigners have said that Mansfield is the largest town in England not to have a Sunday rail service. The district council has said a service with trains running from 0730 to 2130 would be essential to Mansfield's regeneration. |

It is said that Sunday afternoons / evenings bring more people out for long distance travel than at any other time of the week, and the move towards a service at least at a similar level to the rest of the week seems a sensible one.
I'm celebrating (slightly) today. First Southbound Sunday service to call at Melksham in a year! I'm not expecting huge crowds as it's bustituted as far as Chippenham, but I will be meeting a customer at the station off one of the Northbound services which is reachable from the main network ...

A Sunday train service on the Robin Hood route is to be introduced from December (link below.) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/nottinghamshire/7336700.stmNottinghamshire County Council has agreed to fund the service until 2011. It is hoped permanent funding will come from the Department of Transport. The service will be operated by East Midlands Trains from 14 December. It is hoped that the Sunday service will carry an average of 1,800 passengers in order to secure its future. |
