it is hard to believe that this line was the most modern North - South lines opened in the country (1900 ish) built to modern standards but closed in 1966. Waste, stupidity, shortsighted, how much freight could it have kept off the roads if still existing?
Here's some Good 👍👍🍻🍻🍻🍻💰💷🚂 for the Eventual Completion of the Loughborough GAP & for the day when Steam pulled Passenger trains will traverse North out of Loughborough Central towards Ruddington & Nottingham South.
When the two lines are reunified, they will still operate as two separate heritage railways, not running the full line all the time. So the GCRN will probably only be fully relaid double track after reunification when they have the money.
One of the best videos I've seen👏🏻👍
