BRIGG RAILWAY LINE TRAIN FARES

We are told there are some people in Brigg who are unaware that our town still has a passenger train service.

Admittedly, there are only three trains each way on Saturdays and none for the remainder of the week. 

But the cost of taking the train to enjoy a spring/summer day out may be less than you think.

You can buy a return ticket to Grimsby for £11.10p or pay 30p more to enjoy Cleethorpes’ sun and sand, the resort’s station being very close to the seafront.

A return ticket from Brigg to Barnetby is £3.90p, offering connections to the remainder of the railway network if you want to venture further afield any Saturday.

Leaving Brigg on a Sheffield-bound train, you can get a return ticket to Gainsborough for £10.80p.

We spotted these sample fares helpfully displayed on a noticeboard at the back of the Angel building.

You pay the guard/conductor on the train, of course, as there is no longer a booking office at Brigg railway station.
