View NW, towards Trent, Derby, Sheffield, Leeds etc.; Midland Main Line, London St Pancras to the North. The stations on this four-track section had platforms only on the Fast (Passenger) lines, but the Up coal train (hauled by a Stanier 8F 2-8-0) is on the Up Fast, the Slow lines being behind the wall to right. This station was closed on 4/3/68, but a new station was built (on the Slow Lines) a little to the east on 27/5/94.
