Seems like the timetable at the moment is meaning the NEXT departure is going to be in another 40 years!

It is a very nice looking station - a lot of thought appears to have gone into it, despite it being small. Just as an aside, I thought EMT were going to use 4 car units from Hull trains for the service as opposed to a full rake?

How'd you mean? 102 & 103 are painted in EMT livery!

Until recently 101 and 102 were working for Hull Trains, but they've been repainted just this year in preparation for their transfer to EMT. Apparently there's still outstanding paperwork to be done before the transfer is sealed but I don't know the details.

Looks fantastic does'nt it? Great to see a link to direct link London as well.
