London's Unique Freight-Only Line | Featuring RARE London Foot Crossing!

🛤️ Time for a trip down the Angerstein Wharf Branch! 🛤️
🟥 Built to serve Angerstein Wharf, the line opened in 1852 and was a hugely important part of the Greenwich Peninsula, providing a huge variety of freight services for a multitude of different duties. We cover the history of the line, it's present-day operations, and what the future holds for the branch.
❌ We also take a look at the branch's popular foot crossing - one of the only crossings of its kind in London. This is the same crossing that has been featured by the likes of Geoff Marshall and Jago Hazzard - links to those excellent pieces are at the bottom of this description!
