GCR(N) already carries freight from East Leake and the mountsorrel branch is proposed to be used once more to relieve pressure on the Midland Mainline). It is this contract that is hoped might fund part of the project.
Chester station is outside the city centre that it serves, but a free bus link to the centre operates every few minutes. Perhaps thats an option at Loughborough.
Be difficult to go further as landscaping has happened.
So the tram would have to meet the railway.
