The bridge over the Midland Main Line is a reinstatement of the Great Central Railway's old route north of Loughborough Central station. The intention is that this will allow GCR heritage trains to run north of Loughborough as well as south. It is a complicated project but the construction of this bridge is a significant step forward.
