We now have a suggested date for the resumption of passenger train services at Brigg railway station.
The Diesel units running between Sheffield and Cleethorpes - Saturdays only - were suspended in March due to staffing issues connected with the Coronavirus emergency.
The date suggested for the return of passenger trains along the Brigg line, also calling at Kirton Lindsey and Barnetby, is Saturday, September 19, according to one of our sources.
The following Saturday (26th) will see the monthly Brigg Farmers' Market. So people from Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Gainsborough, North Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire will be able to use the trains to come to Brigg and visit the stalls and local shops.
The train operator has yet to confirm September 19 as the re-start date but we expect this will be done near the time.
You can take the first train of the morning from Brigg (circa 9.20am) to go for a day out in Grimsby or Cleethorpes.
By changing trains at Barnetby, it's easy to get to Market Rasen, Lincoln, Newark, Doncaster and other destinations.
The last train of the day from Barnetby brings passengers back to Brigg before 8pm.
If you are planning a day out by train, please remember that masks need to be worn on public transport.
