A reminder that, from tomorrow, EMR will be running a new train timetable, which includes a range of benefits for the Sleaford and North Hykeham constituency.
Following my train survey about the timetable review earlier on this year, I sat down with Managing Director Will Rogers to discuss improvements to services. After the meeting, EMR wrote to me with confirmation of what the new timetable will look like for constituents in Sleaford and North Hykeham with some significant improvements. These include:
Introduction of Sunday services at Rauceby
Transformational additions at Hykeham - 21 extra services on a weekday, 14 extra on a Saturday and 15 extra on a Sunday
Standardised timetable at Swinderby - a 2-hourly service in the off-peak, increasing to hourly or more regular at peak times
Peak service from Hykeham to Lincoln increased from 2 to 3 services, with arrivals in Lincoln at 08:02, 08:13 and 08:44
1 additional weekday service and 4 additional Saturday services in each direction on the Lincoln to Peterborough line (includes Sleaford, Ruskington and Metheringham)
Improved connections at Sleaford and Lincoln, and some timing changes based on feedback
Commitment to explore options for later trains from Lincoln to Sleaford, Ruskington and Metheringham following feedback from my survey
A study to look at a phased improvement to Sunday services which will include Lincoln to Peterborough
This is a summary of improvements the changes. EMR Customers are advised to check their journey and understand what the changes mean for your journeys. Visit: https://www.eastmidlandsrailway.co.uk/the-big-timetable...
