  • Report to Transport and Highways Committee REPORT of SERVICE
    Report to Transport and Highways Committee 22 Novem ber 2012 Agenda Item: 10 REPORT OF SERVICE DIRECTOR HIGHWAYS RAIL ISSUES UPDATE Purpose of the Report 1. To inform Committee of developments on • The Newark – Nottingham Line, and • The Robin Hood Line. Information and Advice Newark – Nottingham Line 2. The Nottingham – Newark – Lincoln line provides the east-west service for Newark (and Lincoln), with connections at Nottingham for Derby, Birmingham, Leicester and most of England & Wales. 3. The Lincoln – Newark – Nottingham service is well below the standards that are normal for other comparable routes, in all key respects • Frequency, • Speed, and • Onward connections 4. Newark has one train per hour to its big city (Nottingham), whereas most similar places have 2, 3 or 4 trains per hour to their big cities (Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds etc.) 1 Number of Trains per day 140 120 129 120 100 107 80 82 60 40 20 33 0 York - Leeds Preston - Manchester Worcester - Shrewsbury - Newark - Nottingham Birmingham Wolverhampton 5. Moreover, the trains between Nottingham and Lincoln take much longer than is achieved between other places that are a similar distance apart. Distance Time Taken Average (miles) (minutes) speed (mph) Hull - Selby 31 31 60 Crewe - Shrewsbury 32¾ 30 65.5 Hereford - Pontypool 33½ 33 61 Stirling - Perth 34¼ 33 62.3 Nottingham – Lincoln calling at 33¾ 49 41.3 Newark only Nottingham – Lincoln calling all 33¾ 69 29.4 stations Average speed (miles per hour) 6. The current 1 train per hour also has to serve the intermediate stations, as well as providing the non-stop service that anywhere the size of Newark (and 2 Lincoln) would normally get – so it is an unhappy compromise.
