The line is the former Midland Railway route between Nottingham and Lincoln. At one time there was a second pair of lines where the lower vegetation to the right has now grown. This was the Great Northern Railway route between Nottingham and Grantham. Historically there was no connection between the two at this point but with the reduction of coal traffic the lines were rationalised. The GNR tracks were removed in the 1970s and the junction installed for trains towards Grantham.
