Enjoyed that mate. Im the lad you met outside the boxing gym, who was inspecting the old culvert. Im guessing where we were stood, where my van was parked, was the old track bed of this line? Either way i enjoyed it. I have recently done an inspection of the culverted river that runs beneath the North Bridge and Sainsbury's. Shame i hadnt met you before, you could have come and had a look at that one.

Top video that buddy... Great mixing old and new.... gives you alot more understanding of the area.. well done Sir !! Keep the content coming

there is another fully filled in tunnel on the line the Royal Geroge tunnel where layby is near the pub of the same name Royal Geroge

Another great video mate and some goood relics still lurking ,your picture fades are getting better by each video crack on

Great content as always . Walked this line yesterday from the meadowhall end with a view of completing it all . There is an old steelworks with a very distinctive footbridge still there about a mile up from meadowhall. Any history on this would be greatly appreciated . Again , keep up the good work !

The north end of lee bank tunnel is still there, it is fully bricked up. I visited it a few years back you can get to it from old lane by going down next to the rail bridge, it is very hard to get to due to the foliage and trees but when the porthole suddenly appears through the trees is worth the struggle getting to it

Well done Ashton.🙂👍

Railway station, please...

Railway line...

I dont know why but this video didnt show on my feed only parts 1 and 3..... Some great unseen photos in this one and you think they would have kept the viaduct part of the flyover road scheme as it would make a good link around that area of halifax.

Great stuff again! I never knew where was a small viaduct until your videos. I just thought there were two seperate small tunnels near dean clough.

Fascinating amount of history in such a small area, great work with the research Ashton.

Very interesting again.

Brilliant Ashton, loads more info re this subject. Very interesting 😎

Brilliant video. I have lived in Halifax all my life (67 years), some of my family members worked for Crossleys carpets and I remember the railway line, although I never saw it in action.

interesting

thats a old scaffold clip

This is great. I've been trying to figure out the route past Dean Clough and this is very helpful. That railway line would have made a great cycleway.

Yet another well-researched account of part of this fascinating white elephant of a railway line built during the railway mania in the nineteenth century.

great vid Ashton nice to see whats missing in halifax

Excellent history lesson with some amazing combinations of comparisons of original and new pictures.

What a beauty. Some where I have a photo of my uncle getting the train to school. From Ovenden to North Bridge. Fantastic video.

Lovely video I often went through the long tunnel to train spot, as you got loads coming out of CARLTON south SIDINGS. Just to let you know, the post is a mileage post 176 miles to London, not a gradient post. Have a walk round where the engine shed used to be at ROYSTON. Not much left now.

Interesting explore there, shame the buildings surrounding this area have been demolished.

Very interesting and well presented. Enjoyed this very much. (Pete, Manchester)

really nice woprk on this one Ashton

Superb detail and especially the Coal drops which I think need restoring. Again a brilliant in-depth history lesson on film. Really impressive detail well done.

Good video. Shows remnants of North Bridge not previously shown in earlier videos.

Good video, enjoyed it.

Brilliant Just before that retaining wall on the left at Eureka there was a scrapyard on the right whose entrance was on Church Street, I used to go with my Dad to work and sit on the wall watching the trains in the early to mid-sixties.

This is one of the best detailed videos of Halifax station :)

looking forward to the follow ups Ashton

That building looks like a workers staff room & store shed. There was something similar at the old Bradley station but in red brick. Sadly now long gone.

That’s an excellent History lesson well researched, brilliant stuff well worth saving for future generations. 👍👍

Great video. My house backs onto this old trackway and have often tried to find out more information about the line and the locos that ran on it

Superb collage absolutely brilliant looks great on the big screen 👍👍

Great video you deserve more recognition 😊

It use to have two big doors at the entrance, like in the sin bad film .

It was scary back in 1988 .

Hi I’m George, the railways aren’t what they used to be, it’s amazing they are putting extra lines in, on the trans pennine route, it’s a big project they are doing, I remember when I was a kid there were lots and lots railways everywhere, unfortunately they have gone, they don’t shunt parcels anymore

More of this line needs to be made into a path, including the tunnels.

Surprising how much "street clutter" there is nowadays, road signs, litter bins, railings etc.

Love looking back at what was to what it. Good video.

❤❤👍👍😊😊

Hi there. we coming up to monk breton loop with Pathfinder tours next month. caroline

great vid boys

Another great video , at Royston if you do some searching the inspection pits from the depot are still there, used to spot trains at Cudworth in the 70s it was a very busy place ,endless coal trains etc' happy days

Much of the track beds of the midland railway are undeveloped and don't have greenways but most are duplicated lines. this is a prime area for line reinstatement to increase capacity.

Another cracking video and that station name board is a amazing survivor,and kudos to the family for that rare peek at the in filled bridge.

This is great, was lovely to chat to you both and learn more about the bridge we look out onto everyday!
