- Two local transport companies work in partnership for best customer solution.
- Travel can be made on trentbarton’s xprss and Kinchbus 9 during Nottingham resignalling work.
- Work affecting Nottingham train services from 20 July to 25 August.
We have joined forces with East Midlands Trains to help provide alternative travel options for passengers during this summer’s major resignalling work at Nottingham station.
East Midlands Trains passengers holding a valid train ticket (including season tickets) will be able to use their ticket to travel on trentbarton’s xprss service between Bingham and Nottingham, and Kinchbus 9 services between Nottingham and Loughborough.
Alex Hornby, Commercial Director for trentbarton, said: “In times of potential disruption, it makes so much sense for travel providers to go the extra mile in looking after customers and their overall end-to-end journeys.
"We all work so hard to make buses and trains attractive, and it would be such a shame to see people move back to the car. We’re really pleased to offer rail users the opportunity to use our services and to be proactively working together with East Midlands Trains on this ground-breaking initiative to support the overall public transport offer.”
Neil Micklethwaite, Customer Service & Commercial Director for East Midlands Trains, said: “A huge amount of work has been taking place to make sure we have comprehensive plans in place for our passengers to keep on travelling during the major improvement works taking place over the summer.
“We’re really pleased to be teaming up with trentbarton to offer our passengers an alternative travel choice for their journeys to and from Nottingham during the summer. This is a clear demonstration of our commitment to putting our customers first and doing the right thing for them during these works.”
The resignalling work will take place between Saturday 20 July and Sunday 25 August and will result in significant changes to East Midlands Trains services on routes to and from Nottingham.
