EspañolLOUGHBOROUGH GAP
The 'Loughborough Gap' (popularly called "The Gap") is a short, disused section of the former Great Central Main Line in the northwestern corner of Loughborough, England, between the northern and southern sections of the present-day Great Central Railway. The formation originally consisted of an embankment and three bridges, although nearly all of this alignment has been removed.
The Gap is 500 metres (547 yards) long, around 30m (100 feet) wide for most of its length, running roughly from north to south. It is bounded to the east by the northwesternmost part of Loughborough, including the National Rail station and the Morley Street industrial estate, to the west by a now disused household refuse site and to the north and south by GCR's northern and southern sections respectively. Current plans for bridging the gap include relocating loughborough north shed onto the old landfill site.
