Train link bus axed; replaced with taxis
05.04.10
A bus service connecting East Midlands Parkway train station and East Midlands Airport has been axed following a one-year trial, the Evening Post reports The Railink service was operated by a 16-seater minibus which ran seven days per week, every half-hour each way. It was funded by East Midlands Trains, the airport and local councils after the Parkway opened early last year. However, the bus service is to be replaced by taxis in conjunction with local company Village Cars.
The brand new taxi service will cost £3 per journey and should be booked at least 12 hours in advance via eastmidlandstrains.co.uk/taxi or by calling Village Cars direct on 01332 706020 to ensure the best price. The bus service used to cost £2 for a single and £3 return for adults and £1 single or £1.50 return for children.
