£21m Skegness rail upgrade

Network Rail began work on the second stage of its £21million investment to renew the old track between Boston and Skegness and improve Skegness station.

“First encounters count and when people come to Skegness the railway station is like the town’s shop window which at the moment is not a very attractive one.” … as reported by PeterboroughToday.co.uk
