Welland Viaduct lies on the Oakham to Kettering Line and carries the twin track non-electrified line between Corby and Manton Junction, where it joins the Leicester to Peterborough line. The route is generally used for the passage of freight trains and steam train outings. In early 2009 a single daily passenger service was introduced by East Midlands Trains between Melton Mowbray and St. Pancras via Corby. This is the first regular daily passenger service to operate across the viaduct since the 1960s. The viaduct is also used as a diversionary route for East Midlands Trains mainline services using the Midland Main Line route.

Unfortuntaly it comes in one direction at six in the morning, and goes back at seven at night so I can only ride over it in the dark at this time of year.

(And of course means visiting Corby)

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
