CLEETHORPES MP Martin Vickers has called on the Government to improve rail services between Grimsby and Lincoln.
Speaking in the House of Commons, Mr Vickers said his constituents wanted East Midlands Trains to run two carriages, rather than just one, along the route.
Addressing Robert Goodwill, the parliamentary under-secretary of state for transport, Mr Vickers said: "Though my constituents would be happy to see new rail lines built, they would prefer better services on the existing ones.
"East Midlands Trains, which operates the Grimsby-Lincoln-Newark service, most of which is provided by a single-car unit, has been telling me for four-and-a-half years that it will improve that by making it two cars. When will the Minister act to do something about that?"
Mr Goodwill replied: "It is always important to address such issues when franchises come up.
"One of the problems we are facing in announcing all these programmes up and down the country is that everybody is now wanting to jump on the bandwagon to catch up and see the investment coming to their area after a 13-year period of drought in real investment in infrastructure."
