VERY, VERY impressed with the Lib Dems' rail plans!

In addition, direct Skegness/Boston - Lincoln services (that happened in days of old) should be reintroduced because the necessary track layout is already there at Sleaford. Ideally, I'd like 3 services per hour through Boston each way. 1 train per hour for services to Nottingham 1 train...

Oh, hello BTW!

Of course, if they electrify Newark - Lincoln (at least), then East Coast services between Lincoln and London would be even quicker!

To be rectified in May 2011 via ECML, joining at Newark.

I have an idea regarding the re-instatement of direct services from Boston to Peterborough that drew inspiration from the recent re-modelling of the railway north of Grantham. Most of the structure for this is already in place. The new bit of track could be modelled on the Allington Chord...

I think the reason for this line closure was the unstable nature of the terrain the line was sited on. Prone to coastal erosion and landslides.
