    Thank you so much for this video. Living in Harborough, i found it very interesting. I so wish i could have travelled the line, but, being such an early closure i would have needed a time machine. At least i have walked John o gaunt viaduct several times. A pity about east norton, the key hole arch of the viaduct nestling in the valley made it a very attractive sight.

The 1900s it was going go through the channel to Europe. I’ve not seen this video before fantastic really enjoyed it. What a shame this line closed by MP politicians.

    Brilliant video and maybe someone can help with a question that my uncle and I have been trying to clarify for years. @Thebigfella53 - you are right, the tunnel went under the Uppingham Road / Colchester Road junction and was a cut and cover tunnel. It was locally known as 'Black Bridge' as it was very deep. When I was a little boy, I lived on Withcote Avenue and I remember crossing the remains of the footbridge adjacent to the tunnel from Uppingham Road to Jennett Close. The cutting was simply filled in leaving the arches of the footbridge visible. Today it is merely an alleyway but you are in fact still crossing a footbridge. I was reliably informed a child fell from the parapet of Black Bridge onto the track below around 1972/3 and survived. My uncle and I are trying to find a photo of this tunnel with zero success. It's become a bit of a mission for us now to solve but trying to trace anyone with knowledge or photographs is proving difficult. Any help would be appreciated.

    The old GCR was an extremely Bendy Wendy railway! The vast majority of bends are in open Fields where the line could have/should have been built straight. There is Absolutely NO WAY a EC Gauge train, even with tilting tech could every travel at more than a Maximum speed of 200kph and only on short sections. I remember Many NIMBY HS2 peasant folk who ALL claimed it would be better to rebuild/reopen the GCR. It could never ever have a train travel at 350 to 400+kph on Any section of the Grand Central Bendy Wendy!

  • @66oggy

    Thankfully this line will never open as it would be too expensive initially, and far too expensive to maintain. The Monsal Trail is arguably the most beautiful trail in the country. On a different note I would argue the section between Buxton and Bakewell was probably, for it's length, the most expensive length of line to construct in the country.

  • @edwardbyard6540
    @edwardbyard6540 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'm afraid the chance of this line reopening is nearly zero. The Monsal Trail is a massive economic asset to the Peak District and were it under threat, railway enthusiasts have said they would want to keep it accessible as it is now. Those who aren't local wouldn't understand. It is the second most visited part of the PDNP, I believe. I'd love to see the line reopen but I'm afraid it won't happen - not when public finances are so bad, either!

    Even where HS2 and the GC take the same alignment north of Calvert, HS2 keeps one or two hundred yards away from it.

      The line was not even listed in the Beeching Report. Of course, it was carrying practically all the London to Manchester traffic at the time. Apparently, the cost of keeping Dove Holes Tunnel free of water was one factor leading to the line's closure. (But did the longer tunnels at Disley, Cowburn, and Totley not have similar problems?) Absolutely staggering to see a once busy Heaton Mersey reduced to nothing.(I gather that a motorway now covers most of the shed site.) Cheadle Heath station seems to have gone completely; it was once served by Pullmans.

  • @flymuzza9205
    @flymuzza9205 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I stayed at Crowden Youth Hostel in 1980. The valley echoed to the rattle of frequent electric-hauled freight trains. It seemed like there were 3 to 5 trains an hour in each direction, coal, tanker and container trains. Yet the line closed completely the following year. I can't help wondering what happened to all that freight... M62? Surely not.

    • @kevinfowkes2327
      @kevinfowkes2327 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The majority of the traffic was coal, and for a couple of years it was diverted, mostly northwards via Healey Mills then down to Manchester via Stalybridge. But within a few years a great deal of this traffic had disappeared due to the miners strike, pit closures, steelworks closures, and British Coal localising supply of coal to power stations reducing the need for it to cross the Pennines. I'd guess that today, the vast majority of the freight traffic that went via Woodhead just doesn't exist any more, either on rail or road.

      Are you serious? The GCR was a historical route to London which closed in the 1960's.

      @@flymuzza9205 100 per cent I'm serious. I can tell you with absolute certainty you cannot get a train from Nottingham to London that goes via the Aylesbury to Marylebone Chiltern/ Metropolitan line If you don't believe me take a look at trains from Marylebone to Aylesbury and see where the train terminates I know this because I' travel part of this route all the time
