Future
The initial aim of reopening the line from Louth to Grimsby is no longer feasible in the short to medium term, as part of the section between Grimsby and New Waltham was designated by Humberside County Council for the building/construction of the A16 Peaks Parkway Road, which was completed in 1998. These roadworks made any future extension to Grimsby impossible without major financial investment.
However, it is hoped eventually to reconstruct the entire sole-surviving 8 miles of track bed between a new site at Louth and Holton-le-clay.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“For me chemistry represented an indefinite cloud of future potentialities which enveloped my life to come in black volutes torn by fiery flashes, like those which had hidden Mount Sinai. Like Moses, from that cloud I expected my law, the principle of order in me, around me, and in the world.... I would watch the buds swell in spring, the mica glint in the granite, my own hands, and I would say to myself: “I will understand this, too, I will understand everything.””
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
“Such is the miraculous nature of the future of exiles: what is first uttered in the impotence of an overheated apartment becomes the fate of nations.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)
“He who asks fortune-tellers the future unwittingly forfeits an inner intimation of coming events that is a thousand times more exact than anything they may say. He is impelled by inertia, rather than curiosity, and nothing is more unlike the submissive apathy with which he hears his fate revealed than the alert dexterity with which the man of courage lays hands on the future.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
