Reconnect Louth to the National rail network!

Petition Details

I am calling on the Government or Parliament to re-open the railway line to Louth, reconnecting the town to the national rail network via the Boston - Skegness (Poacher Line).

Additional Information

I want the Government or Parliament to re-open the railway line to Louth as Louth has been cut off from the national rail network for over 50 years. Times have changed since the closure of the line going northwards to Louth.

Only the Boston - Skegness line remains open to this day, and it continues to serve both Boston and Skegness via the Firsby Curve, also known as the Poacher Line.
