Some Lincolnshire train services to and from Doncaster may be affected over festive period.
Rovers fans attending Keepmoat Stadium via rail over the festive period are urged to check before they travel from Scunthorpe, Cleethorpes, Lincoln Central, Doncaster and Barton-Upon-Humber between 24 December 2015 and 11 January 2016.People and businesses across the Greater Lincolnshire area will benefit from almost £100m of investment in the region’s railway this Christmas as part of Network Rail’s Railway Upgrade Plan.
The investment programme will see the railway brought up to the most modern standards, creating greater reliability for existing passenger services as well as increasing the capacity limits of the railway, which creates the potential for more trains to run in the future.
While this SHOULD NOT unduly affect fans attending the scheduled home games against Scunthorpe (26th December) and Port Vale (9th January), the full impact to the North Lincolnshire rail lines can be seen below:
