The Down Fast
This down fast line line was put in late 1960s early 70s so trains could do 111mph instead of the 20mph at Peterborough. All Grand Central and Hull trains use the fast lines but do not stop to pick up passengers. East Coast then Virgin now LNER, trains not stopping at Peterborough also these lines.
