Sir Edward: Give Us This Day Our Daily Return Service Between Market Rasen and London

Sir Edward Leigh

Under the old British Rail, we used to have a direct train to London from Grimsby and the constituency of my honourable friend the MP for Cleethorpes, Martin Vickers, through Market Rasen.

I have been campaigning for that train to be reinstated for forty years — ever since I was elected as a Member of Parliament.

Sometimes I wander down from my home in the Wolds and wait forlornly on the platform at Market Rasen, but the train never comes.

Today I asked if the Secretary of State might oblige an old campaigner and give us our train back, please.
