Re-rail Lincolnshire, undo the Beeching axe in the county!

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government/Parliament to re-rail Lincolnshire by re-opening/rebuilding rail lines that were taken away due to the Beeching axe.

Grimsby-Louth-Boston, Lincoln-Boston, @Boston-Spalding, Spalding-March, etc.

The rail network needs to be upgraded in Lincolnshire to expand the network, and also to improve connectivity as well!

Why it was rejected

It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.
