SubscribePark and ride Saxilby and Metheringham stations have potential for park and ride for Lincoln which could be boosted by new stations at Washborough Cherry Willingham, according to the Greater Lincoln transport forum. Central Trains will have to provide a better service to attract drivers.
Part time Railtrack seems unable to extend the business day of the Sleaford-Spalding line beyond the present nine hours. Initial costings on plans to reopen Pinchbeck and Donington - agreed before Railtrack took over - and Washingborough and Cherry Willingham have been presented.
Self defeating The Great Northern Railway which is now running trains on the East Coast main line has introduced a road coach link on the congested road from Newark to Lincoln to compete with Central Trains. These two rail companies should learn to co-operate.
Growing demand RDS member John Lewis has persuaded Deeping St James council to investigate reopening the station which is on the Sleaford-Peterborough line. He points out that population has grown by more than 300% since the station closed in 1961.

Rail users are encouraged to join Railfuture to help us campaign for a bigger and better railway - membership for individuals is just £20 per year
Railfuture is an independent, voluntary group representing rail users in Britain with 20,000 affiliated and individual members. It is not funded by train companies, political parties or trade unions, and all members have an equal say.
Railfuture campaigns for cheap and convenient rail services for everyone; better links for buses, bikes and pedestrians; policies to get more heavy lorries on to rail; new lines, stations and freight terminals. In short, a better rail service and a bigger rail system for both passengers and freight.
Railfuture is pro-rail but not anti-road or anti-air. However, we campaign for a switch from road and air to rail. We do not interfere in the running of the railway - we campaign for the quality and range of services provided, not how they are delivered. We are the only champion of all rail users.
