Present Day
With the loss of heavy industry in the area, local traffic contracted massively, yet it continues to be the second-busiest freight line in the East Midlands.
- East Midlands Trains (EMT) uses this route for several of its key business morning and late afternoon services from Sheffield and Leeds to London.
- An EMT inter-urban working also uses part of the line hourly between Nottingham and Chesterfield on the Norwich to Liverpool service.
- Northern Rail from December 2008 has operated an hourly Nottingham-Leeds service on the route.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
““All day long from mid-day
We have talked in the one place,
All day long from shadowless noon
We have gone round and round
In the narrow theme of love
Like an old horse in a pound.””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
