East Midlands Railway (EMR) is reminding customers to check if their journey has been altered when timetable changes take affect on Sunday, December 14.
The timetable brings a range of improvements to services across the East Midlands - delivering wider economic benefits of £2.4 million a year and helping to drive long-term growth across the region.
It also provides a strong financial case for the railway, supporting Transport UK and EMR’s sustainability while enhancing the customer experience.
Will Rogers, Managing Director for East Midlands Railway, said: "This timetable brings many changes to the way we operate our regional services and to make sure they don't miss their service, customers are advised to visit our website or journey planners and check to see how they are affected.
"The timetable is great news for our customers and the economy of the East Midlands. It makes best use of our available fleet and will be supported by our £28 million regional refurbishment programme, delivering a more comfortable and consistent customer experience.
"It will realise opportunities to operate more train services across the Regional network, introduce new journey opportunities, and build-in performance improvements."
The timetable will bring a host of benefits including:
• More than 2000 extra seats on EMR services to and from Lincoln on a weekday and more than 3000 extra on a Saturday
• New direct journey opportunities – including Matlock to Cleethorpes and Crewe to Lincoln
• Improved local calling patterns – with more trains at Hykeham, Burton Joyce, Radcliffe, Attenborough and Spondon.
