Great Central Way
At this point the Great Central Way, following the trackbed of the old Great Central Railway, passes under the Leicester - Coalville line. The cutting has been partially infilled creating a nasty incline for the participants in the Leicester Marathon in the latter stages of the event. The Great Central was once an important main line between London and Sheffield, but trains ceased to run here in 1969 after a lengthy period of decline; in the latter years traffic consisted only of a sporadic local passenger service between Nottingham and Rugby. The railway across the top, however, is still in use, albeit nowadays only for freight.

Great Central Way, Leicester
This path now occupies the route of the Great Central Railway through part of Leicester. The railway closed in 1969.
Here the path passes beneath another railway line. As it does so, it climbs a slope and bends round to the right, to pass alongside buildings which now occupy the former railway. To the left, behind the trees, you can just about make out the level of the railway tracks.
