    The Midland Main Line (MML), sometimes also spelt Midland Mainline, is a major railway line from London to Sheffield in Yorkshire via the East Midlands. It comprises the lines from London's St Pancras station via Leicester, Derby/Nottingham and Chesterfield.

    What are you proposing here?

    In case you don't know, the section from Leicester to Derby & Nottingham already exists.

    The whole section is way too long, and as pointed out, the middle section already exists in the game.
    (Unrelated side note, but I find it hilarious how that map doesn't point out the town of Worksop, but instead Kilton, one of its suburbs)

    St Pancras to Bedford, Bedford to Leicester and then an extension on MML to Sheffield would probably be what would happen to make the whole of the midland mainline.

    When talking about building up entire main lines, they're gonna prioritise ECML and WCML first
