In those days regular expresses went from Nottingham Midland through Chesterfield and Sheffield (having come through Corby and Manton) to the Settle-Carlisle. It competed with the Great Central (LNER) line though which might have been faster. There was a fast Midland train called the Waverley Express (formerly the Thames-Forth).
You would change at Sheffield for York but it was not the fastest journey. You might instead go across to Grantham or Newark and change on to the ECML.
Note that it would have been LMS or LNER in 1946 not British Rail.
