Future
Former operator Central Trains has been replaced by a new company called East Midlands Trains from November 2007 which operates most services in the East Midlands area. The franchise is operated by the Stagecoach group. Although passenger usage figures remain 'healthy,' Mansfield is one of the few stations in the United Kingdom not to have experienced a massive growth in usage since 2004 (see figures right).

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“And all your future lies beneath your hat.”
—John Oldham (1653–1683)
“Common sense should tell us that reading is the ultimate weapon—destroying ignorance, poverty and despair before they can destroy us. A nation that doesn’t read much doesn’t know much. And a nation that doesn’t know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box and the voting booth...The challenge, therefore, is to convince future generations of children that carrying a book is more rewarding than carrying guns.”
—Jim Trelease (20th century)
“Much that is natural, to the will must yield.
Men manufacture both machine and soul,
And use what they imperfectly control
To dare a future from the taken routes.”
—Thom Gunn (b. 1929)
