What a day on Saturday on the Brigg line. A line and stations I hadn't visited before, and how great to see the trains so well used, and a nice touch by Northern to provide the headboard. Hopefully, this will encourage them to improve the service levels over the line. @iblrg.bsky.social

Finally, I've alighted at the station that has given its name to the line, Brigg. It serves a small North Lincolnshire town & has a signal box at the level crossing to the east. The town is worth a visit; I recommend the fish & chip shop on the main street. @iblrg.bsky.social

Arrived in Gainsborough Central for the special 4 each way trains over the Brigg line - usually none at all at weekends. In a classic example of provide it and people will use it, about 60-70 people waiting to board. @iblrg.bsky.social
