The Sunday service on the line has also been increased since the May 2017 timetable change, with the former afternoon-only timetable improved to an hourly frequency each way starting from mid-morning and the intermediate stations served at least every two hours. One train daily on a Monday to Saturday runs along the line from Lincoln to London St Pancras in the morning, and from London St Pancras back to Lincoln in the evening. It only calls at the busier stations along the line, namely Collingham, Newark Castle, Lowdham (evening journey only) and Nottingham. The train travels along the Midland Main Line for the Nottingham–London portion of the journey. There is also a few trains a day in each direction run by London North Eastern Railway from Lincoln to London King's Cross which leaves/joins the Nottingham to Lincoln line at the Newark flat crossing with the ECML just north of Newark North Gate station.
