#EveryDisusedStaion #Abandonedrailway #Viaduct
In today's episode you join Rebecca and Paul exploring some of the disused railway stations between Lancaster and Lowgill, and then south onto the Ingleton Branch Line.
Many of the abandoned stations of the line are now in private secluded residence so on this explore we took the time to visit some of the Victorian architecture in the form on the stunning Viaducts.
The area is rich in Railway history and not short of some familiar railway company battles. In this case the giants of LNWR and MR.
We visited:
Lowgill Viaduct
Lune Viaduct
Rawthey Viaduct
Ingleton Viaduct. (We didn't feature this hugely in this episode as we have a featured video coming out soon specifically about this structure).

We had no recollection or knowledge of the accident that took place here in February of 2007. Had we of done so we would have mentioned and paid tribute, even if by a small mention.

Rawthey viaduct carries the LUNE GRID gas main to Sedbergh from White Lund gasworks at Morecambe . When I worked for the Gas Board in the 60s, the gas was town gas , and was pumped from Morecambe by steam driven compressors up the LUNE GRID to feed K Lonsdale, Ingleton, and Bentham , passing through Carnforth on the way . The whole system was modernised later with larger steel and plastic mains ,and natural gas is distributed, still from Morecambe but with pressure from the National Grid .

"A couple of things" to do in Ingleton. Did that include the Waterfalls Trail? I did that when my boss intentionally stranded me there for 2 nights because it was cheaper to have me and the coach there doing nothing than it was to pay 2 drivers to do a return trip from Kingston, Surrey to Ingleton twice. I took a group of schoolkids up there to do their Gold DofE Expedition. Had to drive the coach to Lancaster to find a cash machine to pay for my stay at the pub/hotel........

Absolutely. I would love to know more of those that dreamt up the routes themselves. 1600 navvies built this stretch in 2 years.

@dambuster6387 5 лет назад

@@pwhitewickI wonder how they decided what route to take no Google earth or Gps Their were OS maps and they where in them selves a work of art just going out in to the fields with instruments tape measure on I suspect on horse back but even then it still would have to be savayed because of the soil and rock formation . I watched a on You tube one viaduct had on site its own brick works. 1600 navvies that's a lot of people must have lived on the move from one site to another Hard life. looking at old photos of the construction of the arches with wooden half moon frame set between the pillars 100 ft up not for me.

Low gill viaduct is indeed a lovely sight but £600000 to restore something that has no real use is maybe questionable for a nice ornament. Many an active preserved railway could have made very good use of such a sum.😮

@angelabateman6022 3 года назад

Nice video, I live in the area at Lowgill just up from the Viaduct. Btw it’s pronounced Grayrigg - not graygrigg, it doesn’t have a G in the middle 😆 & Rawthey is pronounced how it’s spelt like the lady said it ☺️

@ericsmallwood2009 3 года назад

On hol, just driven along the B class road that runs parallel to the northern part of this line and it's quite monstrous!!! 8 feet wide, bends all the way, high hedges, forward visibility regularly only 20 yards, and some daft fast driving by others made it an uneasy journey. Tooting the horn every 15 seconds didn't make me feel any more comfortable. ... But those viaducts are a quite brilliant collection of Victorian era engineering, magnificent and mind boggling.

@mistywolf312 5 лет назад

The new start is ummm.. Quirky, I don't dislike it, its going to take some getting used to. Those viaducts were pretty damned impressive, my imagination definately has trolls living under the iron bridges, they do like their road tunnels under the rail tracks not straight in this neck of the woods. I am guessing your really looking forward to summer visits. On a questioning note, how many lines going to Carslile were there over the years and why did it need them because afaik its never been an industrial place.

@pwhitewick 5 лет назад

hahaha..... Panic not, its not here to stay. I just wanted to try something that I saw on another channel a while back. It took me three hours, so by the time I was finished, I said... "I don't care what it looks like its going in the video". Summer needs to get a move on!

@nlo114 5 лет назад

Good channel, I shall keep watching... ... 06:16 - for 'history of the little bridge under there', have a look at the "National library of Scotland" side by side maps. The old map shows the original road before the railway went through: maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=15&lat=54.3625&lon=-2.5925&layers=1&right=BingHyb It's worth referencing that site for any other stations and lines that you do.

4:02 According to Michael Quick's Chronology of Railway Passenger Stations in Great Britain, Low Gill station was opened on 17th December 1846 and closed on 1st November 1861, being replaced by a second Low Gill station by the Junction for the Ingleton Branch. The second Low Gill station opened on 16th September 1861 (meaning both stations were open simultaneously for a brief period) and closed on 7th March 1960.

@pwhitewick 5 лет назад

Ahhhh gutted we didn't know this otherwise we could have claimed both! Do you know the location of the first?

@zeddessell 5 лет назад

Michael Quick's book says that the second station was built "about 1/2 a mile" from the first, but doesn't state whether it was moved northbound or southbound. R. V. J. Butt's Directory of Railway Stations states that the second station was located 400m due north of the original. It makes sense that the original station would have been south of the newer one, otherwise it could have served both the Mainline and Ingleton Branch without having to have been moved. 1/2 a mile is about 800m, so the original Low Gill station would have been somewhere around 400 to 800 metres from the second heading southbound on the West Coast Main Line. I'm not sure about the exact location. Also, the second Low Gill station was called Low Gill Junction until 1883, so there would have been no confusion when both stations were open. Low Gill was also always two words in the station's name.

When I worked for British Telecom I had a spell of looking after Sedbergh Telephone Exchange in the 1980's and worked with a wonderful local artist from Sedbergh called Henry Sowerby. He new the area inside out and painted the local landmarks. I was only up at Lowgill a few weeks back and was talking to one of the residents of the old railway cottages there that you must have walked past. Laterly the line was used for for special trains taking pupils to and from the famous Sedberg public school as well as diversions when they were working on the main west coast line. Many thanks, love your trips. Best wishes.

Sorry to be pedantic but you missed Middleton - on - Lune station. Easily done as it was closed around 1935 and has been a private house since then. It is just off the Sedbergh to Kirby Lonsdale road , about 1/2 km south of the Head public house and just before the under-bridge. There is a picture of it in 'The Ingleton Branch: A lost route to Scotland' book but difficult to view from the road without trespassing. I spent a long time trying to locate it myself. Love the series - keep it up.

Thanks Peter. Nothing wrong with pointing out errors and offering up useful info Sir! (That said, check out 8.38.... don't blink though, as you suggest nothing to see, other than a quick hat tip in its general direction!).

@@pwhitewick Perhaps a little more time to read your captions would help, Paul. I have no problems with reading (and, indeed, would describe myself as quite an adept reader) but I found it hard to read some of your captions completely without stopping the video and going back (which rather spoils the experience for me.) Please don't take this as a complaint or a criticism, merely a suggestion. I love the videos and I appreciate the hard miles that you both put in - even if you do consider it to be just a hobby for you both. (Edit: I had to go back and have a check but the info for Kirkby Lonsdale was onscreen for a mere 2 seconds and Ingleton Thornton for 3.)

@@cyberdonblue4413 no worries at all. We are always open to suggestions. Tricky one indeed as we also don't want to spoil the background pictures with text (or too much) so we try and find a balance of we can. But we can certainly stretch them out a little more I'm sure. 👍

@@pwhitewick Ok I missed that Paul. I am a bit of a Nerd about the Little North Western ( as the line was called to distinguish it from its bigger brother). I have a place in Sedbergh and have spent many happy hours tracing the route of the line. Ingleton to Settle next?

@@pwhitewick agreed, no problem with the amount of text, think that looks about right, but did struggle to read it in time sometimes. Otherwise another cracking video, those viaducts are gorgeous!
