The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to improve the service on the trainline between Grantham and Skegness.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

More modern Class 170 trains were introduced to this route in 2023, and additionally these trains will be completely refurbished over the next three years. Meanwhile, East Midlands Railway will continue to improve its timetable of strengthened trains and passenger handling in the summer peak, building on the success of the last two years.
