Rail link from Boston and Skegness to London
At present, Boston and Skegness travellers hoping to spend a day in London have to drive to Peterborough to take a direct train to King’s Cross, or take a train from to Grantham, changing to take a direct train, again to King’s Cross. It came the local newspaper in 2011 that rail bosses have drawn up plans for a direct line running from King’s Cross to Skegness - which would make access to the capital so much easier. Plans was to run four trains per day, which could raise more than £2 million per year. The proposals - which would include stops at Spalding, Sleaford and Boston - was put mooted in the Network Rail 2016 Capacity Review which document shows an ‘aspiration’ for a line linking London King’s Cross to Skegness. Nothing has been finalised so far.
Proposal: We people of south Lincolnshire want a direct rail link from Skegness and Boston to London.
