BRIGG STATION COULD DO WITH CUSTOMER HELP-POINT

FROM PAUL JOHNSON, FRIENDS OF THE BRIGG & LINCOLN LINES

Network Rail's Rail Head Treatment Train ( RHTT ) did not come down the Brigg Line as planned. 
A Network Rail team did come out and scrub the track but delays were still clocked up due to track conditions between Kirton In Lindsey and Brigg and in  Kirton Tunnel. Because of the major delays  Brigg Line trains have had over the last 4-5 weeks, many travellers are now staying at home as they are worried whether their train is going to turn up. 
This highlights the fact that the  Saturday-only  stations of Gainsborough Central, Kirton In Lindsey and Brigg need some form of customer help-point or display in the future.
Sadly we all thought that the onsite contractors' presence at Brigg  would nip in the bud the on-going issues of flytipping in the station area. However,  on Saturday,  passengers were 'welcomed'  by a large amount of dumped tyres and oil drums in the old coal-drops area. 
This has been reported to  British Transport Police and has a reference number 223 of 21/11/15.
A few pictures from Saturday can be found below in the link.
