'ANORAKS ONLY' TRAIN TRIPS TO BRIGG

Brigg railway station may be central to some sort of strange football supporters' challenge, it was suggested at the monthly meeting of the Town Council in the Angel Suite.
The council received representation about the poor rail passenger service serving Brigg from Paul Johnson, of the South Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Peterborough United Supporters' Group, who is fully aware there are only three trains each way on Saturdays and none at all from Sunday through to Friday.
Coun Mike Campion, a long-standing supporter of Brigg Town FC at The Hawthorns, said he understood there was "some sort of anorak badge" to be gained if a football fan managed to get the train into Brigg and then get home again.
Town Mayor Coun Carl Sherwood said he took on board Mr Johnson's concerns.
"Anything that will get get more passenger trains to Brigg, I am all for it," he added.
