    Of all the routes I drive and have driven in the past two decades, the Settle and Carlisle line is the jewel in the crown for me and Ribblehead viaduct is the only place where I have ever seen the rain going quite literally sideways !!

    Fantastic work Gordon. Thank you for your efforts in filming this and putting it out there for us all to see. What amazing work those engineers are and have been carrying out. Working at such height in those conditions. It is wonderful to see such fantastic infrastructure being looked after by a cracking team. Thank you once again for all your hard work. It is greatly appreciated. All the best. Ed

    Pleased to hear that nobody died during this repair project, unlike during the original construction. Safer methods and mechanisation have improved since then. Thank goodness the Pacers have gone as well.

    We were up there last week whilst the last scaffold was still present. The colas timber train came over as we arrived although with the very cold wind my little 2 yr old wasn’t quite so impressed! Well done Network Rail and all involved, a great piece of near 150 year old engineering!

    Brilliant to see this fine structure maintained and fully functioning. Lots of credit must also go to the scaffolders building such a complex structure to be able to work from in such bad weather.

    That viaduct is so beautiful. Marvellous piece of railway engineering. Network Rail are doing very well improving our railways during these difficult times including Coronavirus. Nice work Network Rail and Nodrog.

    Nice to see the job complete! These great structures were well built, but there is always a dedicated maintenance team "behind the scenes". In all weathers, keeping on top of the various activities.
    Also thanks to you for filming in the les than hospitable horizontal rain and wind.

    Fantastic Video Nodrog, it's such a desirable relieve that the project was paid off quite quickly despite with the wintery weather conditions that both Engineers Team and Network Rail had to comprehend, Cope with in filling out cracks and patching them to
    support the bricks, and so this Railway memorabilia can continue many futures to come:)

    Hi man I’ve applied for a course at college called City & Guilds Level 2 NVQ Certificate Rail Engineering Maintenance. Can I get your thoughts on doing this course? Not sure if it’s worth the money and time

    • @nodrog
      @nodrog  3 роки тому

      I’m sorry. I’ve not done a course like this. I’m sure it’ll be fine - check with your college.
