A completed HS2 would have resolved this problem, at least as far as Newark and Retford are concerned. A great example of why we need high speed lines to free up more local capacity.

Retford looking great this morning. Once again I'm choosing to buy my Christmas presents in town. Ok , I may not get all of them ( I'm one short, but I'll get that in Doncaster), but use it or lose it.

Coalville v Retford Utd
⏱️ FT: 1-6 (HT: 0-2)
🏆 United Counties Div One
👥 349
🗓️ 1st March 2025
New ground for me and quite a game!
Strangely enough, I think Coalville remained 'in the game' throughout. Retford United, however, seemed to score every single time they went forward.

When at home I try to get out for a walk each day. However, I have been away helping my 93y.o. father who is enduring a course of radiotherapy.
I was pleased to get out today (last weekend the weather was crap!) and was greeted with this at the Idle Valley Nature Reserve at Retford, Notts.

I've been very quiet this week after an over-stimulating weekend, which started with an 11 hour train journey to London from Harrogate, sprinkled with the delights of LNER's cretinous behaviour following this incident ⬇️

It's #FallFriday and time for another live recording. This week... Live in Retford 1979 (the year after I was born). My CD is number 368 of 2000. I don't even know where Retford is - if you live there I'm very sorry.

and noisy. You could hear lots of traffic even up on the cliff side where the house was.
Ill keep an eye on it but its likely I wont try to go for it. Mainly because of that road. (honestly it was scary)
I then rode to Bakewell and then Buxton. And from there back to retford through the middle
