I went wandering there as a child about 50 years ago😮. I think the filled in bridge was still there. Maybe this is what started my fascination with railways. You are doing a great job of documenting this❤. In the pennine weather. Tradgedy in that it could be of great use today

[@darleytransportandtravel6353]

Unfortunately, I don't think that it would have much use today. The main revenue for the railways was goods traffic, so passenger traffic revenue would have been very small even back in the late 1800s and even smaller today. With the huge expense of keeping the line open, it would not be justifiable.

[@guyroebuck8510]

Have to agree that you are right. Road transport shut the railways. Some of this was political. I dream of an alternative future where private cars never happened. Then we would have had an amazing transport network... I can dream 😂. Holmfirth branch is a different story. The busses sit in queueing traffic....

[@darleytransportandtravel6353]

Yes,absolutely! I used to enjoy travelling by bus when they were just off and away and not get clogged up in traffic and didn't wait at stops with people queuing to pay as they get on. Holmfirth would have a good passenger usage especially in the morning for work with through trains to Leeds and Bradford.

Great footage Ashton. Not sure if you've used it but railmaponline is a great site to use. I'm currently looking for an opening near hepworth pipeworks that comes off the pennine trail. Found some nice bridges.
