Great Central Railway Reunification - North of the Gap

Welcome back to my Great Central Railway Reunification series. Last time, we left Loughborough and looked at the 'Bridging the Gap' part of the Reunification. This time, we are heading slightly north to the next major structure on the soon be reunified GCR. We're at Stanford viaduct on the outskirts of Loughborough, where Leicestershire meets Nottinghamshire by the River Soar. A typical GCR construction made with blue engineering brick, which we've grown to instantly recognise. ***Link to previous videos Part 1 - The Great Central Heritage Railway & Reunification introduction -    • Introducing the Great Central Railway...   Part 2 - Bridging the Gap -    • Bridging the Gap - The Great Central ...   This is now the Great Central Railway (Nottingham) section of the line. This part of the line has not seen trains since 2020, however remained active as a freight line until it was taken on by the Ruddington based heritage railway - NTHC - Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre. Great Central Mainline was built as the London Extension of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire railway. Opening in 1899, it was designed to be as straight as possible with as little gradient as possible. Speed was the aim and express trains travelled between London Marylebone, Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield and Manchester. It was the last UK mainline to be built before HS1 over a century later. It thrived initially, however with a lack of upkeep, neglect and dwindling usage, it was mothballed during the great railway rationalisation of Dr Beeching in the 1960s - known as the Beeching Axe. #gcr #loughbrough #loughboro @GCRofficial Become a channel member - https://www.youtube.com/wobblyrunner/...
