This line, jointly owned by the Great Central and Great Northern Railways, was built in 1898 to join the then new GCR main line at Bulwell Common and the existing GNR Leen Valley line; it also led to Bestwood Colliery. The line closed, along with the rest of the GC and GN lines north of Nottingham, in 1968 and the embankment now carries a footpath along the edge of Bulwell Forest Golf Club.
