When looking at Bolt St Station on the ELR from the footbridge, you can see the top of the bridge that carried the line to Manchester over the Knowsley St to Bolton line. The large flat metal girders in between the tracks are the top of the bridge and are only partially filled as you can see the gap under when at track level

That Clifton line would be perfect today for me. I live 2 mins from Clifton junction and work in Radcliffe.

Thumbs up for the content. Small finger down for that music making me look for a good old white GameBoy with grey and pink keys 😄

Brilliant Video, the Darcy Lever was a lovely viaduct to look at.

@stephenbagwell8275 2 года назад

Enjoyable video thank you. The motorway constructed when they destroyed Molyneux Brow station was originally called the M62. I never knew there was a path coming out near the McDonald's in Radcliffe

Its hard to imagine but the current ELR line to Heywood that curves sharp left past Bury South signal box and rises over 'the hump' at 1 in 19, originally dropped down to Knowlsley Street Station on a steep curve. that linked the two stations.

They were too proud with themselves to demolish that amazing viaduct.

Thank god for that!

An enjoyable video. Superb.

There were rumours circulating that Bolton wanted to connect the Metro Link via Radcliff using the old viaducts and reusing as much of the original pathway that once carried the railways along the way, but due to housing development, the state of the viaducts and the cost of connection, those plans were shot down.

@DavidFrankal Год назад

I believe a route using at least some parts of the old alignment is still on the cards. It was also planned to be incorporated into Picc-Vic!

Great video, never heard of the Darcey Leaver viaduct before. Magnificent viaduct.

@DavidFrankal 3 года назад

Funnily enough, neither had I!

@CM-1723 2 года назад

Used to be a aquaduct there aswell

Used to live near Black Lane Station and in the night you could hear steam trains letting off steam and from my bedroom window I could see the trains on their way to Bolton

awesome video

I love the Geoff Marshall "bin bag blowing in the breeze" reference.

@nigelkthomas9501 3 года назад

Enjoy the video? I certainly did! The viaduct at Darcy Lever was rather encased in mesh!

@Karlinski73 3 года назад

Came here from Jen's cycling video. Great stuff!

Jen looks like she needs to get moving!

At 9:51 - the bridge crosses a path. This used to be much deeper but filled with earth from the local estate build. Used to play here as a child and look up at the bridge remnants. It was a good 10 - 12 feet tall.

@peterhaslam5275 Год назад

Can't believe you failed to show Burnden Park and the iconic signal box

@butikimbo9595 Год назад

At 9:30min of the video i always thought the light red (bleached by the sunlight) girder bridge, carried the old railway line to Bolton over the canal as we can see it from the tram and have a clue of the location due to the diversionary heading. Thank you for the explaination and for sharing another interesting video. Looking forward for next uploads as i noticed lack of activity in the late weeks / months. Hope nothing to worry about your health. Keep safe.

My world,no most of the track

@richardfrance1292 Год назад

Extremely good video , it never ceases to amaze me that our forefathers built all this and the last generation spent all its time obliterating it

@andrewclegg6541 Месяц назад

Clifton viaduct ...... 13 arches.

@macartm 3 года назад

And before this I'd only ever heard of Radcliffe as a surname (Mark Radcliffe) and not a place ... :)

@AndrewG1989 3 года назад

You should team up with Geoff Marshall to do lost railways. But this is such a incredible video. This is what the lost railways in Greater Manchester was like before. Before it disappeared and some have been converted into as part of the Manchester Metrolink. And some of the existing lines that are now electrified.

I've walked that route, and some of it is very wide, looks like there was four tracks or more for some distance between ringley road and molyneux brow. And I wish you'd learn to be a bit more careful with the camera and stop shaking and swinging it about as it makes some of us brutally dizzy!
