Description
This tells the story of the rural stretch of the Midland Railway Lincoln to Nottingham line that runs through the countryside east of the Trent with stations at Winthorpe, Collingham, Swinderby and Thorpe. It opened in 1846 and though earmarked for closure by Beeching in the 1960s, the line survived. Its story is illustrated with contemporary and modern images, personal stories and descriptions of how the system works.
