The Independent Brigg Line Rail Group has received a number of enquiries this week from the Worksop area asking about travelling to Cleethorpes on Bank Holiday Monday..
For those that are not aware there used to be a direct service of three trains on a Saturday only for 30 years, in May last year this was reduced to a one round trip Monday to Friday service.
This is absolutely ideal between Worksop and Cleethorpes as the train leaves at 10:14 and arrives in Cleethorpes at 1142.
Coming back customers will have to go via Doncaster and maybe Retford.
We are getting an any permitted fare of £30.60 return and £20.15 with a railcard, returning on the 1624 or 1724 TPE service, and changing at either Meadowhall or Doncaster and Retford on the latter service.
Is there any cheaper alternatives than the £30.60p return please ?
