What we’re doing and why it matters

Latest news as of April 2023: in order to ensure passenger safety with a programme of level crossing improvements, Go-op has delayed the planned start of services to June 2024. Not all documents on this site have been updated to reflect this, so bear this in mind as you read. Our apologies for any disappointment.
