CrossCountry trains has announced a new train service which will run between Lydney and Birmingham (link below.) http://www.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk/latestnews/Forest-campaigners-lukewarm-reception-new-train-service/article-278244-detail/article.htmlCampaigners in the Forest of Dean have welcomed the new service but are disappointed it won't start in time to ease the problems caused by the A40 roadworks between Highnam and Over. The new CrossCountry service, which will get commuters in to Birmingham New Street before 9am, will start in December. So it will not ease the overcrowding on trains between Lydney and Gloucester which have come about as commuters use the train rather than battle the A40 roadworks. The new service does not return to Lydney from Birmingham New Street. Stuart Henry, a spokesman for CrossCountry trains said the time the train would call at Lydney had not been decided yet. |
