| A passenger run from Peterborough to Quorn using a Rail Motor and Trailer. |
 |
The Historical Bit
After the through express passenger service, the East-West Express, ceased running via Quorn in 1932, it was replaced by a rail car service which ran until 1938. This service was restored in 1957 using a Brill rail motor. It ran a three days a week return service until 1969 when all passenger services on the line were permanently withdrawn.
During the 1960s the track speed limit on the line had been reduced to 30 or 35 mph but the rail motor service was given a special exemption to run at speeds up to 47 mph (its maximum possible running speed).
