First picture is indeed Brigg ... follow up was Kirton Lindsey. The majority of people on the train were going to the seaside for the day, but at least six got off on at Gainsborough Central and off at Bring. I undertstand that they are Saturday regulars on family visits - a short train ride is far better than over 2 hours by bus, zigzagging via Scunthorpe.
Also to note - lots of positive feedback about the hourly Sheffield train now running to Gainsborough Central to reverse - people love it compared to Gainsborough Lea Road for most of the town.
Saturday train should have been 2 cars, I understand ... train manager said he knew it would be packed if run with a 153 but that was all that was available. Great fun getting a wheelchair on at Brigg, with the space already occupied by wheelchairs.
Message for wider readership .... it may be Saturday only but it's blooming well used. How about other days??
More images from yesterday morning.
