Five weeks of chaos 'worth it' in £100m railway routes upgrade [Nottingham Post]





Date: 20/07/2013

COMMUTERS are set to face more than five weeks of disruption from today as the majority of trains stop running at Nottingham Station. The plans will see the complete closure of the Robin Hood Line to Mansfield and Worksop and replacement buses on most journeys out of the city as part of a £100m programme of engineering works including replacing six miles of track as well as 140 signals and signal boxes.
