Services

There is generally a two-hourly service Mondays to Saturdays eastbound to Lincoln Central and westbound to Newark, Nottingham and Leicester (with extra calls at peak times). A few Lincoln Central to Newark North Gate trains also call. The Sunday service is infrequent in the morning and early afternoon, but improves to roughly hourly each way thereafter.[1]

gollark: An RTG might be better for the whole "overengineering" thing than solar power, but they're pretty hard to get hold of, and it might be a bit heavy.
gollark: Just stick in a GPS receiver - that provides you with both location, obviously, and the super-accurate timing data GPS provides - probably some sort of microcontroller, whatever display you want, rather a lot of battery, and probably a solar panel or something.

gollark: You could make a watch work anywhere on the Earth's surface.
gollark: I mean, you could do *some* of that.
