HELP SPREAD THE WORD THAT BRIGG STILL HAS PASSENGER TRAINS

This being Saturday it’s perfect timing to bring Brigg Blog followers these pictures taken of the sign that shows the existence of our town’s railway station.

Why is Saturday significant? Well, that’s the only day of the week that passenger services run along the Brigg line.

You can catch three trains east to Barnetby, Grimsby Town and Cleethorpes; in the other direction you can go to Kirton Lindsey, Gainsborough, Retford and Sheffield.

Our  new Friends of the Line group is calling for improvements to the around town signage for Brigg station.

Apart from the red and white British Rail survivor we’ve pictured, there’s very little else to tell/remind people that Brigg is on the passenger network.

Only by getting more passengers using our station can we really press for phase two – more trains along our line.

Additional publicity to fly the flag for Brigg’s railway will also help - from local groups, councils and websites like ours. But there's nothing to beat 'word of mouth' on Brigg streets!
