Earlier in the month I met with Lord Hendy, Minister for Rail, to discuss the continuing work on reopening Askern Railway Station, alongside local resident Graham Moss, who has been a key campaigner for the station.

Graham set out the case for the railway which we have been working on for a long time.

The minister agreed to get back to us with more information on future potential opportunities for us to take forward the campaign, including through South Yorkshire Combined Authority.

We will keep fighting for this important cause. Re-establishing the train station would make a huge difference to the lives and opportunities of residents in Askern and its surrounding villages.
