Next stop Nottinham Midland, for HST 43066 tnt with 43044 on the rear with the 07.38 Leeds - St Pancras International Service, seen here, crossing the M1 Motorway at Trowell. 28 01 2017

The second of 2 HST Leeds - St Pancras services that pass along this route on a Saturday Morning.

 

This is the 'Trowell Branch', which sees quite a few passenger services daily, but few of these are HST trains. The line branches off the Erewash Valley Midland Mainline at Trowell, coming into Nottingham at Radford Junction & then Lenton Junction, into the City.

 

After a couple of years of roadworks, to widen the M1 Motorway, proposals have now been released for the HS2 Railway, which will follow the route of the M1 from the East Midlands Hub at Toton, to Sheffield. A consequence at Trowell is the realigning of the Motorway, for this to happen - watch this space!
