Thanks for another little historical document. Thanks for confirming the direction at 3:14 - it helps to orient against the old abandoned (and flooded) GCR formation. Great to see progression on the new railway which (despite the controversy) will benefit our country in the decades to come, as the population grows and the motorways cannot be widened. The cleared path to the bridge from 7:00 onwards may be to provide access to maintain what is now a 130-year-old brick structure beneath a public road?? Certainly at 7:37, land at top level has been marked off.
@@NWP_EXPLORING that's great - I was at the site at the weekend - looks like the drawing on HS2 and the current works are different, and the alignment of the new road bridge would probably require the bridge to be dismantled. Not sure though.

Cheers...good episode
Any update on what is proposed for the bridge at Barton hill farm entrance?
I’m not sure, but I’ll try and find out

Great video capturing bridges and GC for posterity. It just shows HS2 contractors are disgusting vandals when it is not necessary.
Very sad to see that piece of history earmarked for demolition.
Spent 5 months in chetwode last year. Beautiful but hs2 ruining it
