During the Second World War, passenger services using Nottingham Victoria were severely restricted to allow greatiy increased freight, troop or special traffic between the north and south of England. Surviving train services provided limited accommodation and were mainly used as troop trains. The Manchester to Marylebone service generally took about an hour longer than its pre-war timing. By 1941, only two daily Manchester to Marylebone semi-fast passenger trains passed through Victoria. Local services were also much reduced.
