EMR reinstates temporarily withdrawn trains from Monday 28th February

On 17th January, EMR withdrew eight train services from the Intercity timetable, seven of which called at Market Harborough.  This was because of Covid-related staff shortages; the planned reduction in the timetable being preferable to ad hoc cancellations of trains day by day.  On 23rd February, EMR announced the reinstatement of these trains from Monday 28th February.  In addition, many other services on their Regional network on Sundays will be reinstated from 27th February.  We are pleased that these cutbacks, which have led to some overcrowding on the remaining services either side of the cancelled trains, have been reversed.
The reinstated trains are: 
Southbound:

• 0447 Derby to London St Pancras (via Nottingham) (0600 from MH)
• 0950 Nottingham to London St Pancras will not run (1026 from MH)
• 1412 Nottingham to London St Pancras will not run (1457 from MH)
• 1850 Nottingham to London St Pancras will not run (1925 from MH)

Northbound:

• 0735 London St Pancras to Nottingham will not run (0836 from MH)
• 1205 London St Pancras to Nottingham will not run (1305 from MH)
• 1635 London St Pancras to Nottingham will not run (1737 from MH)
• (Also the 2102 London St Pancras to Sheffield, but this does not call at MH)

Normal service to be resumed.
