A couple of decades ago, or more, there was a superb model railway on the exhibition circuit under the name of "High Dyke". It was quite something to watch . . .

I love Lincolnshire. We always went to Skegness for our hols as kids, it's rural England at its best

Many years ago when I was working as a delivery driver, I had several deliveries of mechanical parts to the engineering workshop at the McCain's cold store and chip factory. The workshop was round the back, a few yards away there were 2 mine shafts side by side that were gated off. The portals were about 20ft across, semi circular, heading eastwards, and sloped down at maybe a 30 degree angle. I asked one of the engineers about them, he said there were used to dump rubbish etc down. I asked him how deep they were, and he said "Effing deep"! They were part of the ironstone workings at Easton and had their own little tramway going westwards towards the A1.

Errrm it's actually ex greater anglia 🤓🤓🤓

Ah the High Dyke ironstone complex. Famous for Class 31's with single line tablet catchers in its last days, including the unfortunate Class 31 150. Oh, and first.

Great video 😊

Very interesting thank you. I know that area a bit

Very relaxing is the sound of running water

Thanks. Was trying to figure out before my trip where the third platform is. Appreciate it

Interesting video. i love exploring disused railways and this i one i need to visit.

Nice video going down soon. Subscribed to your channel (been here in past)

Went to the grand for years with my daughter love lt 😅

I have a group on Facebook called we loved the grand hotel scarborough

Fantastic video.

Where is the source?

Just had a quick sneak peek of it today when i was out in birmigham

I actually went there a day ago.

Thanks for the info, and a non stop tram catch, nice I have never seen that

Hello sir, can you please confirm when the tram service will start ???? I live in blacklack side .

That unit is now with GWR at Reading Train Care Depot.

You choose about the wetteset winter in 20 odd years to visit (leaving aside 2012/13 and the "Great Flood"). The mega puddle you retreated back from is up to 3 inches deep and I have been wearing wellies since Nov/Dec time. You could have gone the other way round and walked along the high level path running besides the fenced upper meadow, that path drops down to the railway track at the far end, but it is also pretty muddy at the moment. The site is a SSSI for it`s wet neutral grassland But by April it should be pretty dry again and in fact for 6-7 months of the year, there is usualy no standing water in evidence on the site. There are a few fragments of railway infrastructure left and at the southern end of the reserve you will find the brick supports of an iron girder bridge that was in situ when the railway was active.

Nice to find videos like yours. I walk down the greenway almost daily and walked the original train line in the 1980s. They had holes in the bridge that you could easily fall down, before health & safety was invented 😁 Roughill wood, after the old line crossed colwick road is also a nice 'greenway' walk if you are in the area again.

The level-crossing and wooden signal box are still viewable on Google Earth by using the Historical Imagery feature.

great vid' in the early 90's i and a few friends climbed up the park side entrance and into that side cave entrance on the upper left as you look up towards derby road' it goes back around around 20 feet into a small sized room. also i believe it was actually never used as a horse an cart route' as the gradient back in the day was too steep. The architect Thomas Hind created many of the mansions in the park estate' and i think is the creater of this tunnel too' i think etc, anyhow great to see it again. cheers.

Were you aware that you can walk down the old trackbed of the brewery sidings and get under that bridge? If you're feeling really adventurous you can walk along the flooded cutting towards the portal of Watnall Tunnel.

New Subscriber here nice heritage display really enjoyed watching this video

Not abandoned. Just closed for the Winter.

I hope you had a good time. I usually would be here volunteering, but I had to attend another railway day instead! Great Video.

Hope you had a good day there same i wasnt there

salut,super-amazing content-👋

Well done mate. Hope you and your son had a great day out. Was passing this on the way to Glasgow last September when over. 🇦🇺

Excellent video, likes from me !

HS2 is an environmental disaster of epic proportions & Britain's biggest infrastructure mistake in half a century. Excellent news that the Eastern leg & the Golborne link have now been scrapped & fingers crossed, the rest of this monstrous vanity project will never see the light of day.

Class 150241 or 150242 was damaged back in May 2022 happened to be 150242. 150242 was with 150240 and 150279. 150279 is still wearing the Arriva Trains 🚆 Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 2nd livery and could go to Northern Rail between 2023 and 2025 if it is lucky enough to survive on planet 🌎 earth. 😃😃 👍👍 👊👊

Class 150s are 150/0 are a 3 car class, class 150/1 are a 2 car class are the gangway within unit and finally class 150/2 are the gangway throughout. All Northern Trains 🚆 are now nicely newly refurbished and repainted into the 2nd Northern Rail livery. Other class 150s are with the 2 other train 🚆 companies are Great Western Railway 🚃 and Transport For Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 are the2 car class 150/2. 20 of the class 150/2 are with Great Western Railway 🚃 and 36 of the class 150/2 are with Transport For Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. By around perhaps 🤔 Wednesday 31st December 2025 (New Year’s Eve) fireworks 🎆 🎇 💥 🥳 👑 🍺 🍻 🥂 🎉 🎉 🎊 🎊 🪅 🪅 🎈 🎈 🎈 🎈, 36 x 2 class 150/2 will be off lease from Transport For Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and most or all of them will perhaps 🤔 hope will go to Northern Rail otherwise they could also go to Great Western Railway 🚃 in less than 3 years time. Class 150202/207/216/219/221/232-234/238/239/243/244/246-249/261/263/265/266 are with Great Western Railway 🚃 and class 150208/213/217/227/229-231/235-237/240-242/245/250-260/262/264/267/278-285 are with Transport For Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. Class 150269/270 are on loan from Northern Rail to Transport For Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 since Frida 15th July 2022 because they are covering for the class 150241 or 150242 and definitely 150279 being damaged. All class 150s are standard accommodation only conveying a toilet 🚻 🚽 and non smoking 🚭accommodation. I like 👍 the class 150s. I been on them. They are based on provincial services such as main and branch lines. Cool 😎 🆒 inside the trains 🚆 and high up ⬆️ 🔝 🆙 . In the south west England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 I’ve been on the Cornish branch lines are Plymouth to Gunnislake is the Tamar Valley Line, Liskeard to Looe is the Looe Valley Line, Par to Newquay is the Atlantic Coast Line, Truro to Falmouth line is the Maritime Line, St Erth to St Ives is the St Ives Bay Line, Devon branch lines are Exeter to Barnstaple is the Tarka Line, Exeter to Okehampton is the Dartmoor Line, Exeter to Exmouth is the Avocet Line, Exeter to Paignton is the Riviera Line and finally main lines. Northern Rail runs everyday and public holidays except Christmas 🎄🎅 Day and perhaps 🤔 Boxing 🥊 Day. If Northern Trains 🚂 run on Boxing 🥊 Day, limited services run. 😀😀😀 👍👍👍 ❤️❤️❤️

Always enjoy all the interesting stuff you put out.

Flint castle is our local castle. It’s such a great site. We’re glad you enjoyed it. 🍻

That is some staggering engineering. It should be shown to all school leavers as an incentive to do engineering rather than 'media studies'!

It's not the first time southern trains have been on the midland mainline as thameslink used to operate some class 377s

Always a fan of Platform 0's. Nice video - as always!

I find this extremely sweet, I would love to read this book anytime 😊

Might mistake it for a 380

Brilliant!

Nice! Ive been there before, its lots of fun.

i loved trains if you mind make new vidoes

I enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for uploading this. ☺

Great video, I heard the Class 720s reach there as from 14th February..... 0600 and 2100 roughly

Great station , shame it’s ruined by a rude word 🤭
