Ivanhoe Line Debate: A Giant Leap for Leicestershire Rail

Published 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Description

North West Leicestershire MP Amanda Hack successfully secured a parliamentary debate for the Ivanhoe Line, aiming to restore passenger services on the route that traverses the National Forest. The line, abandoned since the 1960s, could significantly reduce carbon emissions and boost green travel if revived. Hacks proposal involves two phases: initially connecting Coalville to Derby, and later extending to Leicester with a new station near the King Power Stadium. Although no vote was held, Hack remains committed to advocating for the project, exploring funding options and leveraging HS2 asset sales to support the cause. Checkout Solipillow.com
