In answer to your question, I've heard nothing, but although I would love to see trains running along that line, to be honest I can't see it being feasible. For one thing the route to Nottingham via Shirebrook and Mansfield is circuitous and would not compete time wise with the car down the A614 from Ollerton. Also, the line as it stands only skirts the edge of both Warsop and Ollerton so the stations are hardly in advantageous locations. There could be some tourist potential at Edwinstowe, I suppose. Far better would be to extend the Robin Hood line to Doncaster, maybe via Worksop and Retford with re-opened stations at Bawtry and Rossington, assuming a path could be found for such trains on the ECML between Retford and Donny. As it stands, the RHL's northern outlet is poor with badly timed connections at Worksop.
