I suspect you're talking about the Sleaford Avoiding Line. I believe it's operational in the southbound direction but only used for diversions and occasional freight, not currently operational northbound.

IIRC Ross Hamilton (a Lincolnshire train driver) has posted observations on it in uk.railway passim, but Google Groups search is, once again, broken so I can't confirm.
