"Robin Hood Line under construction through Kirkby-in-Ashfield (ex-Midland) Tunnel, 1995." View SE from the B6021 bridge. This had been the ex-Midland Nottingham - Mansfield - Worksop line until closed north of Newstead 12/10/70 (passenger services had ceased from 12/10/64). The new Robin Hood Line (Nottingham - Mansfield - Worksop) was diverted over the route through this tunnel because it was shorter than the ex-GCR one. The line was restored to Mansfield Woodhouse later in 1995 and to Worksop in 1998.
