Grives Lane, Kirkby-in-Ashfield NG17, Notts.
Hornbeam Way on the right leads to a 2008-2009 housing development known as "Church Fields" on the Kirkby-in-Ashfield side of the "Robin Hood Line" (the Mansfield-Nottingham railway service). The pedestrian is on Grives Lane and is walking towards the point where Lindley's Lane becomes a footpath. The Portland Park Nature Reserve is situated ahead, 5 minutes walk away.

Robin Hood Line south of Kirkby in Ashfield
Part of the original Midland Railway line between Nottingham and Mansfield. Just beyond the level crossing the line curves left on a new alignment to join the old Great Central Railway alignment. The original Midland Railway alignment continuing the curve to the right has been built over.

Portland Park Nature Reserve Area NG17, Notts.
Lindley's Lane and the Portland Park Nature Reserve lie behind the photographer. This is Grives Lane, a through-road in the past between the B6021 (Kingsway-Nottingham Road) and Lindley's Lane but now only accessible by agricultural vehicles, walkers and cyclists. A railway embankment lies to the left and the level crossing ahead gives trains on the "Robin Hood Line" (the Mansfield-Nottingham service) the right of way.

Robin Hood Line under construction through Kirkby-in-Ashfield (ex-Midland) Tunnel, 1995
View SE from the B6021 bridge. This had been the ex-Midland Nottingham - Mansfield - Worksop line until closed north of Newstead 12/10/70 (passenger services had ceased from 12/10/64). The new Robin Hood Line (Nottingham - Mansfield - Worksop) was diverted over the route through this tunnel because it was shorter than the ex-GCR one. The line was restored to Mansfield Woodhouse later in 1995 and to Worksop in 1998.

Kirkby Tunnel, west portal
Less than 200 yards long, it runs under the steep but narrow ridge forming Robin Hood's Hills.
It was built in 1848 by the Midland Railway as part of its route from Nottingham to Mansfield. The line closed in 1964, and the tunnel was later filled in. The Robin Hood Line project to restore passenger train services between Nottingham and Mansfield required the provision of a tunnel under Robin Hood's Hill, and studies showed that this tunnel was still in good condition. It was therefore reopened and passenger service resumed in 1995.
