Great Central (North) - Diesel Gala - May 2011
The Great Central (North) is very much a railway in its infancy with a main base at Ruddington the preserved line joins a spur at Ruddington South Junction and via requires a reversal to access the line to Rushcliffe Halt and Loughborough. Currently there is no station at Loughborough but East Leake (also known as Rushcliffe Halt) provides a place to change trains. The GCRN also has a mainline connection which generates Gypsum Traffic from the mainline network.
The total length of the line is 8.25 miles, which is slightly longer than the Great Central Railway!
