‘More trains and carriages needed’ for economic growth in East Midlands

East Midlands Trains says new trains and extra carriages are needed to continue driving faster economic growth for the region.

“East Midlands: A Railway for Growth”, a report published last Friday (Sept 16), says a key priority is to secure additional carriages to enable services to be strengthened on several lines including Doncaster-Lincoln-Spalding and Peterborough.

The report adds: “To continue to attract new customers to rail, and improve the service for existing customers, it is crucial that there is a viable alternative to the car.”
