Stop the removal of the 7.08 Train Service from Hinckley to Birmingham New Street


Stop the removal of the 7.08 Train Service from Hinckley to Birmingham New Street
The Issue
The 7.08 train service from Hinckley to Birmingham is a crucial train service for hundreds of people including myself.
This invaluable service allows us to arrive to work at 9 am. Any other train services either leave too early, disrupting the start of the day, or arrive too late, risking professional commitments.
This proposed removal of the train service is contradicting the government's efforts to encourage people to utilize more public transport. Especially in a time where the climate crisis demands immediate action, this service cancellation reduces the incentive to use eco-friendly public transportation and indirectly contributes to the increase in carbon emissions through private vehicle usage.
We urge the relevant transportation bodies to reconsider this decision and maintain the 7.08 train from Hinckley to Birmingham New Street. Sign this petition to support a personal & environmental cause.
This service departs the following stations at the following times, and arrives in New Street at 07.46
Leicester 06.48
South Wigston 06.54
Narborough 06.59
Hinckley 07.08
Nuneaton 07.15
Coleshill Parkway 07.31
Water Orton 07.35
