Ivanhoe Line could benefit from councils'HS2 trade-off plan

摘要

Leicester City and Leicestershire County councils are supporting a move in which they would drop opposition to phase 2 of the HS2 line running through the north-west of the county as long as the Leicester-Burton line is reopened to passenger traffic. The first phase of the Ivanhoe Line, between Leicester and Loughborough, opened in 1993 with the reopening of stations at Syston, Sileby and Barrow-upon-Soar, along with the creation of a third platform at Loughborough Midland, but since then the project has been stalled.
