Rail crossing 'could be replaced by flyover'published at 17:50 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2018

Rail journey times between Nottingham and Lincoln may be reduced by removing a crossing at Newark, a report suggests.
Image source, J. Hannan-Briggs/Geograph
The study, by Network Rail, proposes removing the Newark Flat Crossing and replacing it with a flyover.
Currently, any increase in east-west train services is limited by the crossing with the East Coast Mainline.
This means trains have to wait for each other, costing time and capacity.
The report states that the crossing is an "outdated piece of infrastructure" but removing it would be "very costly" and involve a "complex engineering task".
Any upgrades are likely to be only made in the 2030s once HS2 has been completed.

Councillor Dave Trimble from the city council added: "We are currently considering alternative venues given the unavailability of the Castle until 2020, and hope that the Robin Hood Pageant will be staged again in 2019, prior to any decision about the format of the event, once the Castle re-opens."

Concern over future of Robin Hood eventpublished at 14:23 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2018

BBC News
The future of Nottingham's Robin Hood Pageant is unclear, according to Tim Pollard.
The pageant, which is held at Nottingham Castle, has been an annual event for almost three decades.
The castle is set to undergo a £30m renovation in order to turn it into a "world-class visitor destination".
Mr Pollard, who is the city's official Robin Hood, said there would not be a pageant next year while the renovation work is carried out.
"We're really not sure [what the future holds]," he added.
"A lot of money is going to be put into redeveloping it and making it a world-class tourist attraction.
"Hopefully, when that is done, the pageant may return."
The BBC has contacted Nottingham City Council for a comment, but it is yet to respond.
