Robin Hood and Maid Marian Lines

Maid Marian

Robin Hood Line Extension 

I am working with regional partners to deliver the Robin Hood Line extension from Shirebrook to Ollerton via Warsop and Edwinstowe - meaning better connectivity for residents living in villages along the line in Whitwell, Creswell, Langwith & Shirebrook. I am also working to improve existing services along the route.

Maid Marian Line & Pinxton Station

Residents in Pinxton often feel isolated from the rest of the Bolsover constituency and the wider East Midlands region due to poor transport links. I am also working with Nottinghamshire County Council and Ashfield District Council to deliver the Maid Marian line passenger service to Pinxton.

The proposed new route would provide better links to Nottingham, Mansfield, and Kirkby-in-Ashfield, and allow residents quick access to key shopping, leisure, education, and employment sites, and potentially to Kings Mill Hospital. 

The reopening of the Maid Marian Line to passengers alongside a new railway station is an excellent chance to level-up our often-forgotten communities -  - it will undoubtedly provide greater work and leisure opportunities for thousands of residents.
