The Castle Donington line is a railway line in Derbyshire, England, that runs between Stenson Junction (Cross-Country Route) in the south and Trent Junction (Midland Main Line and Nottingham–Lincoln line) in the north. It is currently freight only with passenger services routed via Derby. However, a new station to serve Castle Donington village which would also benefit the crowds attending the annual Download Festival at Donington Park Racetrack is planned.
During the 2018 Derby Resignalling Project, passenger services between Birmingham and Nottingham travelled via the Castle Donington Line due to closure of the Cross Country route between Willington and Long Eaton
