Huge queues for Skegness trains from Nottingham Station as school holidays begin

Families have been queueing up in their dozens to catch a train to Skegness from Nottingham as the school summer holidays officially begin. At least 100 people could be seen lining up for a train to the popular seaside town from Nottingham Station on the morning of Monday, July 25.

The day marks the first weekday since Nottinghamshire schools broke up for the summer holidays. In an apparent effort to deal with the high demand, a number of East Midlands Railway staff are present on the platform with special green Skegness t-shirts and hoodies.

Barriers and signage are also in place to help deal with the capacity. A total of 13 trains are running to the Lincolnshire destination throughout the day.
