A more frequent rail service through Radcliffe on Trent has been confirmed by East Midlands Railway.
Starting in December, an additional 8 services per day will run Monday to Saturday towards Nottingham, as well as an extra 5 on Sundays.
The increased frequency on the Nottingham-Grantham line has been welcomed by many, including Rushcliffe MP James Naish.
Speaking to West Bridgford Wire Mr Naish said: “I’m really pleased that the Midland Main Line finally has brand-new Aurora trains which will make travelling to and from London much nicer. They’re quieter, greener and more comfortable, thanks to the upgrade to electric overhead lines and modern interiors – so whether you’re commuting, visiting family or heading into the city for work, the journey should be more relaxing and enjoyable for everyone.”
As well as an increased number of trains travelling into the city, Radcliffe residents can expect as many as 7 extra daily services towards Skegness when the timetable changes later in the year.
Will Rogers, Managing Director for East Midlands Railway, said: “We are always looking at ways we can better match the timetable we operate with the journeys our customers want to make.
He added: “We are delighted to be able to provide a boost in services for our regional customers from December. The increase represents the culmination of substantial work to make sure they can be increased or reintroduced reliably and sustainably.”
The new timetable comes into effect in December 2025.
