The Shrewsbury to Ludlow Railway Part 1

On this journey around Shropshire's current and disused railways, I travel from the county town of Shrewsbury down to historic Ludlow. In part one I travel southwards to Church Stretton and we discover how Shrewsbury and Church Stretton Stations have changed through the years. We also go and find the disused stations of Condover, Dorrington and Leebotwood.

RIP my friend, thank you for your excellent videos.

This covers an area of England very close to my heart. I first set foot on the Long Mynd in 1974, and have been back countless times. I must take issue, however, with 14:18 - Cardingmill Valley is a tourist-choked hellhole, and nobody who calls themself a discerning type should go near the place.

8:26 I’ve done this on train simulator to pretend that we have several railtours passing the site of the junction

Rodney Fisher is he dead

[@MrTudwud]

@@jamessaunders5863 He passed away some time ago. Was worried when he stated that he was unwell and would not be making any videos for some time. Thought it might be serious but found out the worst later. He had a way of producing these videos that worked so well; he obviously loved the old Shropshire Railways and it showed. R.I.P.
