A week or so ago my local colleagues Mark Fletcher MP, Mark Spencer and I wrote to East Midlands Railway about the Robin Hood line to reconfirm our commitment to getting this project delivered.
Mark Spencer and I have written to East Midlands trains urging them to back the Robin Hood Line extension ahead of the submission of a detailed business case this summer.
The Government has announced a multi-billion investment in our roads and railways, helping to support our economic recovery and level-up infrastructure across the country.
I'm pleased to welcome Government plans to invest £500 million in restoring previously lost rail lines and I've pledged to make the case for new rail services in Mansfield with the Transport Secretary.
Earlier this week, I spoke to ITV Central about HS2 and leaked documents suggesting that a big review doesn't have any clear answers. It seems to recommend a six month delay and further investigation.
Earlier this week I met the Transport Secretary along with Nottinghamshire colleagues from Sherwood, Ashfield and Bolsover to press the case for our Robin Hood Line extension proposals.
I've been chasing Government to hold them to election commitments on investment in Mansfield and was delighted to receive a response from the Transport Secretary about the A60 Sainsbury's Junction.
Today's Mansfield Chad highlights our campaign to extend the Robin Hood Line rail service across Warsop and North Notts, where I've been working for several years with my colleague, Mark Spencer, to connect our rural towns for work and leisure.
