Campaigners and politicians have discussed plans to reopen a railway line closed more than 40 years ago.
Market Harborough and Northampton used to be connected by a rail link that was opened in 1859, but shut in 1981. Campaigners are calling for the 14-mile route to be restored and said it would benefit both commuters and tourists while taking cars off the road.
"Driving between the two towns is a bit of a nightmare. Even now it's difficult and more congestion is predicted. "As part of the climate change agenda, we should do what we can, to cut down on congestion and pollution."The meeting between the ERTA, residents and councillors, took place on Saturday.
