Connect

Typically, local in their nature with frequent intermediate stops, EMR's Regional routes span the country from east to west. The routes are as follows: -
Liverpool - Norwich (interurban, limited stop service)
Nottingham-Skegness (note this also has significant seasonal traffic which results in a summer requirement for road transport to supplement the train service)

Nottingham-Mansfield-Worksop
Cleethorpes-Barton on Humber
