Not by any definition a main line, but the Hindlow/Dowlow branch above Buxton straddles the 1250ft contour - 381 metres. DB, GBRF and FL, between them run several trains each day.

Is that potentially the highest point that Freightliner serve? Given that the other operators work trains over the Highland main line.

Talking of GWR, I went to Gunnislake for the first time recently. While it's clearly nowhere near as high as other points on the GWR network I think it deserves an 'honourable mention'. The climb up from Calstock to Gunnislake feels like a proper mountain railway! Surely it must be the biggest elevation change between two closely spaced stations. But that's for another thread.
