THE Government is set to confirm a station will be built at Toton Sidings as part of new 250mph high speed rail network – and the new route will also go under East Midlands Airport.
Passengers will be able to hop on one of three trains an hour to London and step out on to the platform at St Pancras just 51 minutes later.
The northbound service from Toton to Leeds would take 29 minutes – and Birmingham would only be 26 minutes away.
The short journey times are expected to transform the way Nottingham does business with other cities and bring up to £3.8 billion of economic benefit to the region.
