This is great. Thanks for posting. I've lived in the area all my life and now live close to what's left of the Pemberton loop line, The Central line, Spring Branch and Whelley loop lines, in and around Amberswood area. It took me a while to work out the routes of these lines, as so much has totally gone and been landscaped. When you overlay that old Map onto Google Earth its amazing how much has changed. But you can still make out the routes even today.
What a fantastic video it brings back all the happy memories of the locomotives we remember as kid all my family where born not far from the line can you please tell me how i can obtain copy of the video kind regards kevin
Are these maps available for download at all? I've explored these lines quite a bit as they are now and it's nice to see what these lines may have looked like back in the day.
The maps are available to view at the National Library of Scotland web site. It is a fantastic resource. This is a link. maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=9&lat=51.27572&lon=-1.52851&layers=6&b=1

I've explored much of this, there's a few relics hidden along the line, also, minor parts of the stations too, but not much!
A lot of effort to bring that complex area to life. Well done.
This is on my doorstep and walk the loop (or what's left of it) a lot. Wonderful video thank you.
