Absolutely! Why, oh, why terminate at Corby, why not run most / some /
all services on to Melton Mowbray? What have the people of Melton done
to deserve being ignored in this way?

Surely it can't be to do with paths - or is it more to do with platform
length at Melton (can't say I've ever been on the station there)?


Pies on the line.
