“lol, apart form the odd steel freight train from boston that is the only none passenger train through sleaford, never the less i hope the station its self havs a complete refurbishment too as ive noticed travelling to spalding a warning sign saying only 8 people are allowed on the foot bridge at any one time, so this connecting bridge must be very weak for a warning sign to be put up. ive seen people with heavy luggage / pushchairs have to walk all the way to the bottom end of the station to use the crossing as no staff are available to help. the station is a mess & scruffy looking. it has no car park or what space is available is occupied by people who rent parts of the station building for business from network rail who are the owners of the station. sleaford is lucky all extra freight trains are using the reinstated avoiding line, i pity lincoln who lost theres & will cause chaos through the city.”
