This is a marvellously evocative journey, rebuilding lost stations and seeing the landscape changes. I particularly like the fact that wearing headphones brings the sounds of the clattering train to life, the sounds even change through open areas and curbing’s and through wetlands the bird sounds and bridge crossings, even the tunnel. Amazing how much engineering has changed and built in only 100 years or so. Reservoirs and river course changes. Population shifts in some areas were surprising. I think this would help school children to see how towns develop and change the landscape. I had chills at some points. Excellent.

If this line still existed I bet it'll be well used. Other parts, like Wisbech as well still are suffering to this day without a station.

This is quite brilliant. It particularly pulls at the heart strings of an old (81 yrs) trainspotter who left Northampton in 1961 & left the UK in 1965. Saved to view at length in the future. Thank you for the effort to put this together.

Drivers at March depot, used to work trains to Rugby, wonder if it was via this route as I never thought to ask one which route they took, another unusual place was Colchester, what year did they cease the workings from March?
