LONG EATON STATION NORTH

I think it's about time we resurrected the idea of a new Long Eaton Station. The old one in the centre of the Town was shut years ago.
Our road links are second to none and an Airport just up the road gives global access. It's a pity about the A453 improvements being delayed which will contribute to on-costs by increasing congestion and continuing its high accident rate. If east-west links were improved it would certainly contribute to easing congestion on the M1 and boost the local economy. However a train Station serving the North of Long Eaton, Sandiacre and Stapleford would surely be cost effective. There is enough room where the old Stapleford and Sandiacre Station used to be to have a viable railway halt. Together with a long overdue Ilkeston Station we could ease road use and cut travelling times.
