Robin Hood Line
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has considered the potential merits of a direct train service between stations on the Robin Hood Line and London.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
There has been no consideration to East Midlands Railway providing a direct service between London and stations on the Robin Hood Line. However, the Department is happy to work with operators as they develop demand-led timetables that can adapt to passengers’ evolving needs, whilst also making the running of the railways financially sustainable, to ensure that taxpayers’ money is used in the most efficient way amid the current financial constraints.
