I love these video's, they're so interesting. Yet I have this real sense of sadness when I watch them too, when I remember what a brilliant railway network we once had in this country, with such diverse rolling stock. The photo at 3:38 is a perfect example

As a Luton boy i remember all of this. My Dad worked in y block (Vauxhall) and we went blackberry picking on the railway there. Can also remember the bridge in Vauxhall rd at h block. Thanks for sharing

The route was never built as a branch line in the first place, but later, it was treated as a branch line mainly in BR days. A branch line is a line that branches of a main line, and is not very busy. This didn't really branch off any main line and this line was very busy up till closer of the line between Luton and Hatfield. You say that the Crawly green road bridge was rebuilt as double 20 to 30 years ago well that's wrong because it was only done about 10 to 15 years a go if not less fact! I an Lutonian and know this area well very well!

Thanks matthewwren1177 for taking the time to leave a comment. You are absolutely right about the Crawley Green Road Bridge. The proposal was not discussed until 2008 in the Luton Council plans. And was not forecasted until approx 2012. There are massive plans on the table still for the whole area, so it will be interesting to see what happens next! I don’t know the exact date it was completed but will tell Andy off for you ☺️ thanks for watching the video.

its still surprising that out of everywhere on the line, the only original surviving sleeper is right next to a giant shopping area
