East Midlands Railway (EMR) is to reinstate weekday peak services between Nottingham and Matlock as part of a timetable change next month. The changes, which will come into force on December 11, will see 12 extra journeys - six each way - in the morning and evening peak between Nottingham and Matlock.
The extra services will operate in both directions, calling at all stations on the route, and as a result, EMR will be reinstating hourly peak-time services at Spondon and Attenborough. Other changes in the timetable include the re-timing of the 7.42am Newark Northgate to Lincoln service. It will now run five minutes earlier.
Will Rogers, managing director for EMR, said: "We understand the appetite for direct services between Matlock and Nottingham and appreciate how valuable they are for the communities and business on the route. That is why we are pleased to be able to offer this increase in services as part of our December timetable."
