East Midlands launch new Saturday service from Matlock to Newark Castle
East Midlands Trains will run an hourly service from Matlock to Newark Castle on Saturdays from 21 May.
The TOC launched extra weekday services last May as a result of a partnership with organisations including the Department for Transport, Newark Business Club and Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire councils.
The service will call at Duffield, Belper, Ambergate, Whatstandwell, Cromford and Matlock Bath.
Sarah Turner, general manager for East Midlands Trains, said: “It’s great news that our customers travelling on the route between Matlock and Newark Castle are going to benefit from direct Saturday services for the first time.”
New services will also be introduced in Lincoln and Nottingham from Fiskerton, Carlton, Hykeham and Collingham.
