BRIGG STATION UPDATE

Broadcaster Tim Iredale, who compiled this week's Look North TV piece on the poor situation existing at Brigg railway station, has been in touch and given us the Network Rail statement on the subject.
"The number of trains that call at Brigg station are specified by the Department for Transport (DfT)," it says. "Unfortunately there are no immediate plans to increase the service levels due to the low number of people who use them. In terms of station improvements, we continue to seek new partnership opportunities and are always happy to discuss third party funded improvements with relevant organisations."
Tim does a Blog, too. His story appears there, and he's kindly added a link to Brigg Blog and thanked us for assisting him with his inquiries.
Tim's Blog is well worth a visit at www.bbc.co.uk/timiredale
