Thank you for a very interesting and enjoyable exploration of this impressive line. It's route across central England, its connectivity with the Midland's and beyond and the excellence of its engineering, does make you question the degree to which short-term financial expediency overrode consideration of its longer-term strategic potential within the UK rail network.

The infill at Greenhill bridge on Banbury Lane was done in the early 1970’s as it was found that the foundations were unstable and floating and it seem it still has problems. Those massive embankments could be seen on the road between Weston and Lois Weedon which is about 2 miles away in a straight line and as a 10 year old I can remember seeing the coal trains on the embankment.

Fascinating walk again from you and Austin , think you could do with Austin's 4 leg drive on some of the slopes . Is interesting to think how different the scene along the GCR would be today if it had still been running . Think their would have been a lot of development and housing in what are green fields .

Excellent work again Neil, the cuttings never cease to amaze me, so vast. I'm not sure who thought it was a good idea to put fishing lakes along the track bed, not the easiest things to access. Who actually owns the track bed? I ask because it is quite obvious that the line is walked, but when I have been driving around that area I have seen various signs saying it's private. Cheers, Jim Gillespie.
