Nowadays styled the Robin Hood Line, passenger trains run this way between Nottingham and Mansfield and on to Worksop. The original passenger service was withdrawn in 1964 but the line remained busy with coal trains heading south from Newstead Colliery. After the colliery closed in 1987, the opportunity was taken to reinstate passenger services which happened in stages between 1993 and 1998. The line is nowadays single track between Bestwood Park Junction and Kirkby South Junction. The brick building is the premises of SOS Tyres and Autocare.
