Spalding Station Friday, 9 March 2012 Spalding station is going through a bit of an uplift this week with the introduction of automatic doors to aid disabled people access the station and the platform. You may have also noticed that EMT have started painting the iron work on the platforms and hope that the canopy will be also done in the near future.
Peterborough Station Thursday, 8 March 2012 The new £38.9M upgrade to Peterborough station is now underway which will include lifts between platforms which comply with DDA regulations. The entrance to and from the station is to be changed from next week while the alterations are to take place and will be at the end of platform 2. Temporary toilets are also available there. Completion of the new entrance will take around two months with the total refurbishment going on until late 2013. Two new platforms will also be planned behind 4 & 5. A station adoption scheme is also being looked into for later on in the year and anyone interested in volunteering should contact Duncan.fraser@eastcoast.co.uk or the forum. Xmas at Lincoln Tuesday, 6 December 2011 You may have seen on your television how successful the four day Lincoln Xmas Market was with an increased attendance this year. Unfortunately you would not have been available to visit it by train as the market opened its doors just when the last train was leaving. It is the case that because of the unavailability of decent transport to and from Lincoln we are losing out big time both economically and financially because it works both ways. The proposed Rail Hub at Deeping St Nicolas was also in the news with the majority of your councillors voting to proceed with the project when viable. There is also speculation that if it does go ahead we are in for another bypass from Little London to the school in DSN and the main road may be eventually closed at the Littleworth crossing. The next year we will be campaigning for better connections to Lincoln and later ones to and from Peterborough and also raising the profile of the reopening of Littleworth Halt. If you care to support us please let us know. Bus conductors Wednesday, 23 November 2011 Anyone who watched 'That's Britain' on BBC would have been interested in the result of the poll taken on whether we should have the 'return' of the bus conductor on our buses if we were willing to pay 25% extra on our fares. The majority were in favour of this. We would like to gauge your opinion whether you agree with this. Improvements starts at Peterborough Railway Station Sunday, 6 November 2011 The £2.5m improvement scheme has now started at Peterborough. Work will be carried out in three phases. Phase 1. involving improvements to Platforms 4 &5 will be completed in November. The other two phases should be completed by early summer 2012. Other improvements include automatic ticket gates,a new waiting room and refurbished toilets as well as a new frontage and increased size of the concourse.
