Rebuild the rail line to Louth - East Lincolnshire Railway

Recent signers:

The Issue

As the original East Lincolnshire Railway track bed between Louth and Firsby is now gone with several obstructions in the way it is now necessary to rebuild the/a new rail line to the town of Louth in Lincolnshire in order to link it to the national rail network.

The reason why Louth needs to be linked to the national rail network to the south is because at the Grimsby end is now the busy A16 Peakes Parkway road which was built directly on top of the old Louth to Grimsby section of the former East Lincolnshire Railway.

 

The former East Lincolnshire Railway formerly linked the three towns of Grimsby, Louth and Boston together before it was stupidly decommissioned by British Rail under the Beeching axe on the 5th October 1970. (Louth-Firsby) (Louth-Grimsby - 20th December 1980).

 

Please show your support and sign/share this petition to get Louth to be linked to the national rail network once again in the future.

 

Thank you!
