Nottinghamshire train passengers heading to London or Edinburgh - as well as many places in between - will soon benefit from faster trains on the East Coast Main Line. Nottinghamshire stops in Retford and Newark North Gate will gain from a new scheme, as well as though transiting through Grantham, which is a short train journey from Nottingham Railway Station.
£1 billion worth of funding is being invested into the East Coast Main Line to reduce the number of delays and make trains run faster. The East Coast Main Line connects Edinburgh to London and stops at Retford, Newark North Gate and Grantham train stations.
The investment will replace current signalling infrastructure, which dates back to the Victorian era, with new modern technology, named the European train control system (ETCS). The Department Transport says the modernisation of the railways will help create fewer delays and for them to run faster.
