Nottingham – Lincoln
We have submitted an Outline Business Case to the Department for Transport on speeding up rail services between Nottingham and Lincoln.
What is the scheme?
Only 10% of journeys between Nottingham and Lincoln are taken by train due to slow and infrequent services. Our proposals to speed up the line from predominantly 50mph to 75mph throughout the route will encourage people onto trains, reduce the dependency on their cars and benefit local economies.
The project has an estimated £18mil cost and for every £1 spent on investment will bring £2 worth of benefits to the region.
What happens next?
An Outline Business Case was submitted to the Department for Transport in early 2023. Works could begin in 2026 with completion in Summer 2028, subject to funding.
