An opportunity missed

Although I am very pleased that there is to be a direct quick link from Lincoln to Kings Cross station, it angers me that the so called improvement in rail services from Lincolnshire are nowhere near as good as their predecessors thirty years ago. It seems silly to miss this great opportunity to restore the old Grimsby Cleethorpes to Kings Cross line via Market Rasen and Lincoln. Even if there were only one train from Grimsby to London in the morning and one which returned from London in the evening while maintaining more regular trains from Lincoln during the day it would be a great improvement. The restoration of the Grimsby Cleethorpes to London train line would be good for the local economy as well as general transport between Grimsby and London.
