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.

In a sweeping line.
The day was the day by every flower that blooms,
But I saw no sign.”
