The dynamic nature of trains crossing Chat Moss on the Liverpool & Manchester Railway.

Astley sits on Chat Moss, a 10,000 peat bog morass west of Manchester, that civil engineering goes around and not across. The Liverpool and Manchester Railway was the first large scale project to challenge this wild, untamed terrane. George Stephenson spent three years trying to drain the route and build a stone embankment consisting of many thousand cubic yards of stone. But, were there was no...

Visit to the Edge Hill cutting and the Wapping Tunnel 16/09/2020
Переглядів 6 тис.4 роки тому
We recently visited the location where all modern railways started on the 15th September 1830. The Edge Hill cutting has had many names including the Chatsworth and the Cavendish cutting. The main area was the Edge Hill engine station or the Brickfield station, where the early locomotives were attached/detached from their trains, which were then pulled through the small passenger tunnel to Crow...

The last in a series of videos showing the path of the railway tunnels into Liverpool and their structures on the surface. This video follows the Cheshire Lines Committee route into the city from Manchester to Liverpool Central. It is now used by MerseyTravel's underground network but was originally used by mainline trains on the surface. Music: www.purple-planet.com/ & Bensound

History is lieing
Tartaria and the mudfloods UA-cam 😊
Tartarian Empire structures built long before we are told, that's why so much has been destroyed,discussed and hidden 😊
Loved this, thank you 😊
Brilliant birds eye view footage, love this 😊
Bloody hell, it about time too. Ground zero for the global modern railway system and look at the state of it.
Your missing a shaft
Imagine if the Americans invented the railways , edge hill would be sacred with uniformed staff and a visitor centre and restaurant, but what do our chiefs do in England ? Sweet fa , especially up in the north
When we were kids, we walk to the end of this tunnel, with fire torches, its around a mile long.
This route needs repurposing for modern transport needs. Crucial for expansion of Merseyrail. into the Wapping Tunnel.
I heard something about Merseyrail wanting to use it but that was a while ago, honestly I’d rather it just be preserved or something. I’d love to go down there one day
@@TrumpetGuy26 It is 'being preserved' as you suggest and therefore 'safeguarded' so it could be reutilised as infrastructure for Merseyrail expansion then it must be. that is the very best form of 'preservation'.
Wow! Excellent.
wow, but do they replace brushwood or at lest like do daily check-ups to make sure everything is fine?
I think drivers would report anything different happening to Network Rail. They cannot monitor this stretch on a daily basis, that would be too intensive.
well, if drivers do report anything different then that's good.
I recently heard a rumour from someone on the rmweb that they send someone down once a decade in some scuba gear to check up. The last inspection was in 2018, and apparently it was found that they needed 5 more twigs under there to prevent excessive dynamic deformation.
@@kermito3659 geez, just 5 twigs almost destroyed the whole line?
@@QLDrailfan798 serviceability and ultimate limit states are two different factors. And yes, people care that much about something that small when realistically it has no impact on the end result. Look at the stupidity of eurocode 1, it fails to even understand modern drylining systems
If it was London then this line would be in use, but as its northern England then there no chance
In the future when the city Council kop on to this world first heritage It will be a great tourist attraction.. But for now...
Why do you have to play (music) over people who are trying to speak. Very irritating!
That is the Network Rail video we tacked on the end, we did not use any music.
Clicked because thumbnail gave me "Henry's Tunnel" vibes. Was amazed with what I learned. Kudos!
Fascinating and a triumph for railway history.
These guys were geniuses. A simple cheat that they made so monumental!
Such wonderful engendering
Outstanding. So much historical railway infrastructure has been lost over time…it warms the heart to discover such an important site shall be preserved and eventually restored.
Wonderful video, but I'm viewing it a 0.25 speed because the images flip by so fast. Still a great video.
Interesting, but why the irritating music while people are talking at the same time.
Love these old relics left from an era when Britain had something going for it. Same here in SE Welsh valleys, lots of old railway lines, abandoned stations, I love it, really love riding along them and imagining what it was like back in them days.
I can`t wait to see it , when it is restored to good condition.....
Will it be restored with the arch and towers? Was it always a RR cut or was there a canal there first?
So glad this has happened, countries like mine would kill for that type of history. If the foundations still exist for the two original stream engine towers it would be nice to see them rebuilt along with the arch if original plans still exists, I don't think it would take away from the site in any way as revealing the cable system after all that time didn't detract from the site overall, it just enhanced it and returned it to it's originally status.
That would not be possible, I am afraid. Mainly for the reason that ing the 1860s, the south wall of the cutting was cut back by around seven feet. So if an attempt was made to rebuild the arch, it would be seven feet away from the wall.
so easy to let things go to hell and then with huge expense restore/rebuild them.....
Does this just mean they can remove the trees and grass? or can they make it safe where appropriate? or does it mean that they can reinstate the old steps and so on, whilst keeping it in keeping with it's original status? Will it always just be a ruin like an old castle or abbey?
It means maintaining the fabric of the site and not letting it deteriorate. But yes, it will remain like an old castle or Abbey. We can submit requests to the Department of culture to do work on it, but we could never rebuild the Moorish Arch or anything like that.
@@liverpoolandmanchesterrailway Ah, thanks. Still, that's good. It allows it to be tided up and stop it deteriorating further. I guess you could have static displays or similar in a way where they wouldn't change the fabric. I think it could so easily become a great tourist attraction - for all the reasons given in the video.
The wheels of Governement grind so slow, you can walk faster.
If I had a pound for every time I walked up and down The Wapping siding I could have retired Ages ago.
This is excellent news, I thought it was doomed to irrevocable deterioration
Great news! Can't wait to see how it progresses. 👍
Surely, if the Liverpool Extension Line were to be reinstated, Aintree would be the Liverpool North Parkway?! It must be!
I would say that Kirkdale would be the major hub. The Extension would need a new spur at Rice Lane to bring it into the city since the original route has been built over. This would make the line a full loop, and you can also connect it to the Boole Branch, which would get you to more inner-city stations.
@@liverpoolandmanchesterrailway I would agree with that. I figured the bus connectivity and nearby landmark would suffice.
Excellent! Heard of this first from Martin Zero on his excellent exploration channel. I'm fascinated by the engineering works of the early railway history. An interesting "zero emission" solution.
I use to go to Hadlow Railway station it was a lovely place built 1866 quite discontinued station..Now in 2023 it is bloody awful coffee is Being served on the platform with table's and chairs and almost being poured down the public's throat's with a funnel you cannot move with table and chairs all over the station...The station Toilet is now unisex sex ....when you talk to the people who maintain the station for the council and say they did not have unisex Toilets in 1866 and complain they just look at you and say we need the extra room for coffee ect.............. another example I would go with the family to a nice 17th century inn near Chester ( THE GOLDEN GROVE ) down a quiet lane the listing was taken off the inn demolished and now houses are their ... These are only two examples......
Unfortunately there is nothing left of britain in 2023.........your heart is in the right place....but may as well fill it in and build a Happy Eater Restaurant........ britain is finished a long time ago
I passed that Crown St vent everyday whilst walking to Uni, never realised the important of it in regards to the birth of railways worldwide. Excellent video and awesome music. 👍
Excellent news. This site is of the upmost importance in railway history and is long overdue for some care and attention.
Good news
Looks that Thomas Tank episode when Henry gets bricked in.
As I am not an elected councillor anymore, I want to be an active member of your organisation helping out in restoring this wonderfull site
Fantastic news. As a Merseyside (Rainhill) based rail enthusiast I am very proud of our railway history and this is great to hear. A big well done to all involved.
Wow! Well done on the Ancient Monument status and best of luck with the project.
THANKS FOR WAKING THE KIDS UP WITH YOUR POINTLESS LOUD MUSIC ! ! !
Great news! Looking forward to seeing it restored.
Very interesting video and wonderful news that this is happening. Back in the day my Grandfather operated the overhead crane in Park Lane Goods Depot at the end of the tunnel lifting materials,containers etc from rail wagons. As a retired Network Rail Project Engineer (Track) I obviously have found this extremely interesting. Thanks. 😊
They could turn the tunnels into a fabulous visitor experience. Maybe operate a tram system through the tunnel to the Docklands … maybe if the will was there, a restored section of the overhead railway could be erected at the far end and run into the old Dingle tunnel into the former LOR Terminus. A lot of money but imagine the value for tourism and a massive income to the City … it might even be possible to use it for a transport service,
Amazing if it happened
...and it just might become one of the 1st tourist traps utilizing holograms (to recreate the cable towers, e.g.), mightn't it...
We are looking at Augmented Reality for this.
as long as it n'er lean toward cleptoparasitic Corporateria's Disneyesqueness...bravo! otherwise 🍸
What a fascinating piece of history
Unused buildings are boring and doomed to end up ruined by the pass of time. If you want to keep them alive, put them back in use.
