Abellio’s Plans For Nottingham And Matlock Via Derby

This page on the Department for Transport web site is an interactive map of the Abellio’s promises for East Midlands Railway.

These are mentioned for services between Nottingham and Matlock via Derby..

Enhanced Sunday Service Providing An Hourly Service For Most Of The Day

Surely, this should be happening now!

Increased Community Rail Partnership Funding

Always a good thing!

Refurbished, Modern Trains

As with their plans for Nottingham to Norwich, they use the same words about the trains.

So will all these routes from around Nottingham be run using four-car Class 222 trains?

I can’t think what other suitable higher-capacity trains are available.

Except Class 170 trains and they are generally only two-cars, which probably isn’t large enough.
