Registered UK Charity (No. 115342)
- This railway was opened in 1897, principally to link the coalfields with deep water ports, and was intended to run from Sutton on Sea in Lincolnshire to Warrington in Lancashire. [1]
- Only the section between Pyewipe Junction, near Lincoln and Chesterfield Market Place station, with some branch lines, was ever built.
- It was purchased by the Great Central Railway (GCR) on 1 January 1907, providing a better link between the London main line and the east coast.
