Current Operations
Passenger services on the line are provided by East Midlands Trains, using a mix of mainly Class 156 diesel multiple units, Class 158 diesel multiple units, and pairs of Class 153 diesel multiple units. At certain times, Class 156 and Class 153 trains run coupled together. Many trains on this route continue southward of Nottingham to Leicester via the Midland Main Line. Some trains call at Newark North Gate (this is generally the first 2 trains of the day, and the last 2 trains of the day) by running down the spur at the side of the East Coast Main Line and then reversing back again. Many trains also run between Newark Northgate and Lincoln Central throughout the day, usually timed to provide connections to London Kings Cross and other stations on the East Coast Main Line. Many of the trains between Newark Northgate and Lincoln Central continue on to Grimsby Town with the first and last trains of the day continuing to Cleethorpes. Summer Sundays sees a scheduled Newark NG-Lincoln Central - Cleethorpes service. As of 22 May 2011 East Coast now run 1 train a day from London to Lincoln.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or operations:
“It is not however, adulthood itself, but parenthood that forms the glass shroud of memory. For there is an interesting quirk in the memory of women. At 30, women see their adolescence quite clearly. At 30 a woman’s adolescence remains a facet fitting into her current self.... At 40, however, memories of adolescence are blurred. Women of this age look much more to their earlier childhood for memories of themselves and of their mothers. This links up to her typical parenting phase.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“You can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife—they’re inseparable.”
—Jean Scott Rogers. Robert Day. Mr. Blount (Frank Pettingell)
