Cross-Country Route

This page is about the line built by the Midland Railway. For other services see Cross Country services|}The North-East/South-West route (sometimes simply The Cross-Country Route) is the major British rail route running from South West England or Cardiff via Bristol, Birmingham, Derby and Sheffield to North-East England and Scotland. It includes some of the longest inter-city rail journeys in the UK, eg Penzance to Aberdeen. It was also a major freight route, although now largely usurped by the M5, M6 and M1 motorways.
