The route has also opened up a range of new opportunities for commercial development, providing even more choice for potential investors looking for excellent links with national road networks.

Kings Mill Hospital Redevelopment – A £300 million redevelopment of acute services provision in Ashfield and Mansfield will lead to the creation of first class hospital facilities for the local area. With work due to start in 2005 and completed by 2011, the end result will be the creation of state-of-the-art hospital facilities for years to come.

Nottingham Express Transit – The Tram, which links Ashfield to Nottingham, opened in 2004, and is a modern tram system developed to help ease congestion and enhance the environment. It has exceeded all expectations with over 8.5million passengers using the service in the first year of operation. This has been assisted through the excellent integrated transport network, enabling easy access to both bus and rail networks.

The Robin Hood Line – The rail link, which runs from Worksop to Nottingham through Ashfield, was reopened in 1998. The line is operated by Central Trains and provides a link between Worksop in the north of the county and Nottingham in the south via Sutton, Kirkby and Hucknall.
