Photo "The Robin Hood Line Looking east to a train on the embankment of the Robin Hood Line, which runs north of Nottingham along the former Midland Railway main line. In the mist at the back are Robin Hood's Hills. The Nottingham-Mansfield-Worksop passenger service was withdrawn in October 1964, closing this route which had existed for 115 years and leaving Mansfield as the largest town in Britain without a railway station. The track remained since it was required for coal traffic but goods yards were relentlessly closed along with some of the older collieries. The Annesley Tunnel and its approach cuttings were gradually filled with spoil and refuse. European money for the project looked promising and in July 1990 an Act for the Newstead-Kirkby link was acquired by British Rail. The name 'Robin Hood Line' was adopted and a consortium of local authorities gave the final go-ahead a year later. http://www.wagonplate9.co.uk/The%20Robin%20Hood%20Line/Robin%20Hood%20Line%20Web%20Pages/Construction.htm http://www.wagonplate9.co.uk/The%20Robin%20Hood%20Line/Robin%20Hood%20Line%20Web%20Pages/Stage%202.htm" by Trevor Rickard (Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0) / Cropped from original
