When they closed this line myself and my friends used to ride our dirt track motor bikes along it from Leicester to Rugby, along the way it passed some great areas to ride on-

Most enjoyable video. Having grown up in Leicester born in the 60's this was a reminder of the line that ran behind Humberstone park where Grandad lived.

Wonderful videos, thanks for sharing.

Great content thanks for the upload, the GC was deliberately run down by the London Midland region,so as to pave the way for the closure due to the poor economic returns ,then hastily signed off for closure by that villain Marples, who later did a moonlight flit to France for tax evasion.

What a shame, it all was closing down, l have fond memories of staying on the station at Qourn & Woodhouse in the early sixties, l would cycle there from Derby. Did travel from Derby Friargate to Nottingham Victoria, onwardsto Grantham.

The great thing about the G.C. you could see any loco on it from halls to a spamcan on football specials
