Good evening Dan

Yh this country the law says no higher than 120m so I set mine to 118m max.

And a very merry crimbo to you to Kirk.

@PurpleVision23 Thanks

No thank you Kirk

Yh mega mate. More than last year

Ah I know that wave or film situation very well. 😄 🤣

Hiya Dan

Thank you David. I'm glad you enjoyed the show

Hiya Lingus. Been a while my friend. Yh was much bigger this year

Yh a mega turnout.

Yh I see that santa was around the villages and estate

It's crazy

I didn't until the week I made this video. Now I look everywhere for the distinctive Shropshire Blue brick architecture

You can't put brains in coconuts

@PurpleVision23 I've very much sussed your point of view.Money squandered left right and center,the majority of which in and around London Euston.

Thanks for commenting Nick.

@PurpleVision23 thanks for the Video, always enjoy your work.

Yh I really doesn't

It's called released capacity on the WCML, better local and regional services and room for more freight by rail.

Thanks for the rating. The entire explore with Jamie was epic and I'm gutted it's lost. Hopefully we can meet up again for another railway hunt again soon.

I agree with ya

Yh quite seriously you couldn't write it. Crazy stuff. Yh I see the aerodrome on the map. Looks like another old RAF base

@@PurpleVision23 If ever your that way again early they do a wonderful breakfast.

It's a crazy system

You're welcome 8

That's true. Italian prisoners of war

@ I thought the old original railway by Victorian business men, I didn’t realise that railway was built as late as the Second World War. Apologies for getting that wrong

Sure? Everything decays over time and with earth on top. Hmmmm

Looks Beautiful

Cheers bro

Hiya Dan

Absolutely. Thanks for commenting bud

Take it from someone who worked on the WCML for nearly 40 years, adding two more tracks would have far more impacts than HS2 and almost certainly wouldn't cost any less. There are far more houses, businesses and environmentally sensitive areas along the WCML. Take Roade Cutting as just one example, houses both sides at the southern end and it's a SSSI in its own right. There was enough fuss over the new road over the cutting, and it wasn't cheap.

yh I could do better

Well there you go. I'm glad I've managed to pass a little knowledge on forward

Thank you and i'll do my best

I'm glad i made that little mistake or you wouldn't have come through with that awesome info. Thank you

Yh it is a shame.

Its a white Elephant because it has been cut back and cut back to the point of almost being pointless. Much of the reason for the huge cost is to reduce the environmental impact. For example, at one point the new line passes close to an area of old woodland. 12 species of bats have been identified as living in this wood, including some of the rarest in the UK. To protect the bats the line is going to run through a shelter for just on 1km, next to the wood, the shelter will consist of concrete hoops with the gaps filled in with a metal mesh, too small for the bats to fly through. It was designed, then the Government, changed the design, and added a further two railway lines, for local traffic, the design had to be done again, the current total cost, to protect some bats? £100 million

Indeed!

Definitely. I love it here

Ah yh I remember. Thanks for watching

That pipeline was put in around about 1960 I remember seeing it when I used to go to Brafield Stadium, they have to take the flint out of the chalk to stop it from wearing the pipe away before they pump it

I'll put all the drone footage together just for you.

Sorry to sound stupid but where is Old Barrington Cement Works

Yh proper full of s*** 😄 🤣

If I ever make it back up to Doncaster at some point I'll be sure to check it out
