Nottingham–Lincoln line
The Nottingham to Lincoln line was built by the Midland Railway and engineered by Robert Stephenson.Originally the line ended at Lincoln Midland station (later renamed St. Marks) which was built as a terminus.This extension led to over a hundred years of pedestrian and driver frustration in central Lincoln because there were two mainline level crossings on the High Street within 350 metres, resulting in congestion and traffic chaos.Many trains also run between Newark North Gate and Lincoln throughout the day, usually timed to provide connections to London King's Cross and other stations on the East Coast Main Line.It only calls at the busier stations along the line, namely Collingham, Newark Castle, Lowdham (evening journey only) and Nottingham.
