Join us for this Driver's Eye View trip from Derby to Preston Via Burton-on-Trent, Alrewas, Stafford, Crewe Basford Hall, Newton-le-Willows and Wigan North Western. This is the first of my new series of videos recording trips across the North on test trains which Network Rail use to judge the condition of their infrastructure. Filmed on 43274, with test coaches and 43257 trailing on 1Q47 PLPR1 infrastructure monitoring service on 24/10/2023.

Happy to see another trip from you - I'd never seen the Liverpool independent line, so something new and great! Even more of a thrill was the Claymills crossing at 13 minutes in - the Victorian building on the left is the Claymills Pumping Station that I'm part of the team restoring and running - and the car behind the motorbike at the crossing gate is mine!

Just read your comment and the other one about the storm and floods and realised I was around at the time having just got home from the Nuneham viaduct project ! The guy on the blue motorbike at claymills is me 😎 I remember wishing I'd took a snap of the test train not knowing it took one of us 😂 small world eh ?

The Ribble Viaduct is a disgrace, it is a grade 2 listed building but the intention seems to be to allow it to rust into the river. Such neglect should not be allowed.

They wasted so much money on HS2 that they could not be bothered to maintain existing lines - Network Rail is a disgrace, the trade unions are also too powerful

@anonthemous7437 5 месяцев назад
​@@michaeljohndennis2231 are you under the impression that somehow the unions want less works done on the railway, and would prefer it rot than to have jobs?
@najaB76
@najaB76 Месяц назад
​@@michaeljohndennis2231 False. HS2 has been funded by borrowing specifically for HS2. They didn't take money out of other pots to pay for it, which also means that cancelling Phase 2 didn't make money available for other purposes.

This is an amazing video, so precise and clear and I so love the scenery around the Derbyshire/Staffordshire border as it was well known to me in my rambling days in the early seventies with the CHA in Coventry. Another trip to savour and take in on wet rainy, windy and snowy afternoons in Atlantic Canada. Thank you for making my day Ben and keep up the hard earned good work you make in your productions for us avid railway buffs to enjoy.

Fantastic video Ben, some of these unusual routings are very interesting, Crewe Independent lines and especially the one around Earlstown, by far freight traffic is the most interesting to watch, for two reasons mainly, one the slower speeds enables us to enjoy more of the rail infrastructure and secondly the unusual routings, can't wait for the next video.
