It follows the A52. The following places are served by the line.
Routes to SkegnessAt Grantham, the line meets the East Coast Main Line and also the Grantham–Skegness line. Not all Skegness-bound trains stop at Grantham, and the express service (limited stop) has its first stop at Sleaford, splitting from the Grantham line near Allington onto the Grantham Avoiding Line at Allington junction.[1] The journey on this route to Skegness takes 1 hour 50 minutes, compared to 2 hours 20 minutes via Grantham. HistoryThe line was initially operated by the Ambergate, Nottingham, Boston and Eastern Junction Railway from 15 July 1850, taken over by the GNR in 1852. At Bottesford, the line was crossed by a north-south LNWR line from Melton Mowbray to Newark on Trent (this northern section was owned by GNR). A western spur of this railway (through Barnstone) joined at Saxondale junction.[2] Services were disrupted in July 2012 when an embankment collapsed near Allington.[3][4] The line also closed for some six weeks in the summer of 2013, as part of a large-scale improvement to Nottinghamshire's rail network.[5] Skegness councillors were critical of the decision to close the line during the height of the tourist season, but Network Rail, the rail infrastructure company, stated that the summer was the quietest time on the line.[6] Cotgrave Colliery branchThe branch to Cotgrave Colliery left the Grantham line at the east end of the viaduct over the River Trent and headed south for about {{convert|2|mi}}. It was built in 1960. The major engineering work was the {{convert|360|yd}} long, {{convert|30|ft}} high, concrete viaduct,[7] formed of 37 spans of about {{convert|30|ft}} each, where the branch left the main line. Most of the line was on a bank about {{convert|21|ft}} high, formed of about {{convert|300,000|cuyd}} of fill from a borrow pit alongside the main road. Most of the line was on a 1 in 392 gradient, with {{convert|1030|yd}} at 1 in 199.[8] The colliery closed in 1993 and the track was lifted in 2012.[7] ServicesAll services along the line are provided by East Midlands Trains, mainly an hourly service in each direction between {{rws|Liverpool Lime Street}} and {{rws|Norwich}}, calling only at {{rws|Nottingham}} and {{rws|Grantham}}; and an hourly service each direction between Nottingham and {{rws|Skegness}}, via Grantham, calling at most stations. Very few trains serve {{rws|Netherfield}}, {{rws|Radcliffe}} or {{rws|Elton and Orston}}. The Liverpool-Norwich service is usually formed of {{brc|158}} Express Sprinter diesel multiple units (DMUs), the Skegness service is usually formed of {{brc|156}} Super Sprinter DMUs, occasionally supplemented by {{brc|153}} Super Sprinter DMUs. On very busy summer services to Skegness, East Midlands Trains will use a Class 43 with a set of Mark 3 coaches. These would usually be used on services to London from Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham that run express. References1. ^"Allington Junction". Signalbox.org.
