STAGECOACH franchise East Midlands Trains celebrated the first weekday of its contract extension with chocolates for passengers.
The extension officially started at 02.00 on Sunday 18 October, taking the EMT franchise on to 4 March 2018, with the possibility of a further year after that.
Next day train-shaped chocolates were handed out to passengers, while extra staff were on hand to explain forthcoming changes – which have also been set out in the first edition of East Midlands Matters, a new twice-yearly report.
