Certainly seems very lightly used when I've travelled on it.
The morning one (pre Covid) from Newark at around 0730 used to seem fairly well used, although in those days it was only a class 153.
Indeed, good arrival time at Lincoln for working. A few coming of the London Kings Cross service (myself included). If it was replaced with one from Newark Castle (Starting in Nottingham) then I am not sure how upset the passengers would be. However I am sure Newark passengers may also like that service because it starts at Newark so they are certain to get a seat.
The original plan was to have an hourly Newark Northgate service with alternating between LNER and EMR. I did hear that this may still happen with the LNER doing hourly (in the sets dead time) but having not seen any proposed timetables recent we will see.
