The Brigg railway line and its poor Saturdays-only passenger service - three to Cleethorpes, three to Sheffield - was discussed in Parliament.
The House Of Commons Select Committee received representations from  railway-supporting Martin Vickers, MP for Cleethorpes, whose constituency also includes villages in and around Barton.
