Just subscribed, I cant believe there are so few! Great video and a very interesting route, this would make a great walking / cycling trail apart form the ploughed up sections of course. Thank you. 👍
Fantastic to watch & listen while having my breakfast. I used to live behind Lowfield Works in Balderton(Newark) and sat on the hills in the summer of 1988(I think) watching the crane train lifting up the now disused track. Was only a few months before it was still getting its 3-4 trains a day. Thank you
Yes, it’s a cycle path/nature trail all the way from Northgate station to where Cotham station used to be where it terminates and becomes none navigable
I used to live at the East End of Long Clawson and could see the track in the distance Saw plenty of trains just North of Clawson Tunnel (Well Hose Tunnel but that was what it was known as locally) 4:57 That diverging off the right of the track was the site of Stathern Sidings A narrow gauge line came from the top of the hills to exchange iron ore to standard gauge wagons (cable worked incline)

Is it now a cycle path.? Seems pretty intact. Lovely Mozart!😊

Glad you enjoyed it. Good to hear some local knowledge

Poor old Melton (once an important stage coach interchange); cannot even take a Midland train to Nottingham now.
If they re open the test track...one can dream..
