Residents living on a road leading to one of Nottinghamshire's busiest train stations say they "wouldn't want to live anywhere else". Last year it was found that Newark Northgate Train Station was the second busiest station in the county and the 49th most busy in Britain with 674,472 visitors between April 2021 and March 2022.
With all the commuters passing through the station it's no surprise that the roads leading towards it, Lincoln Street and Appleton Gate, can get extremely busy. It can also be difficult for residents to park outside their homes or have visitors over, due to there being a consistent line of parked cars on either side of the street.
However, despite the issues with traffic residents love living so close to the station with some saying that they "wouldn't live anywhere else." Michael James, who is 78 and retired, has lived on the road for almost 20 years and says he loves it.
