The Midland Main Line is a major railway line in the United Kingdom, part of the British railway system. The 'modern' line links London St. Pancras International to Sheffield station in northern England via Luton, Bedford, Kettering, Leicester, Derby, Nottingham and Chesterfield. Historically the line has extended further north to Manchester in the north west, Leeds in the north east and trains ran through to both Glasgow and Edinburgh in Scotland. The straighter East Coast Main Line initially saw the demise of Midland trains to Leeds and ultimately Scotland due to the longer journey times. Later, electrification of the West Coast Main Line and the Beeching cuts saw Manchester trains withdrawn from the Midland and transferred to the West Coast Main Line. January 2009 saw the opening of a brand new station, East Midlands Parkway between Loughborough and Trent Junction, to act as a parkway station for the major East Midlands cities and serve East Midlands Airport. Express passengerservices on the line are operated by East Midlands Trains.
