Petition Coalville needs a passenger railway

More details

Responsible department: Department for Transport

Re-open the railway line between Leicester and Burton on Trent via Coalville. The current bus service is not frequent or reliable. The area is a magnet for new homes.
The track is already in-place as it currently operates as a freight only line. Yes you would need to build the stations. The government talks about infrastructure and Job creation Coalville needs good transport links to create these. It would also boost wealth creation within the town.
