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.
