Superb video. Excellent work. Thank you for sharing.

Good video and detail. Unusual to see that car park at Liverpool road is fronted by brick arches for decoration, a nod to the past maybe?

Very nice trip along that piece of old railway history. It's amazing how quickly nature takes back what was originally hers. Aided as usual by the construction Companies.

Thanks Guys, yes doesn't take long at all. that's why winter is the best time for exploring among undergrowth and trees

I remember as a kid in the late 70s early 80s crossing that bridge many times to walk down to Waterloo road,trains where still running then I think plus I recall the signal box on the left hand side,but it is a long time ago.

[@PASTFINDERexploring]

Not that long ago. The last trains ran through there in 1992.

Nice one. It's amazing how poorly positioned these big junction stations were. Liverpool Road, Fullerton Junction etc. Well researched, not rushed and split nicely into sections to ensure adequate time for features along the route.

Cheers. Lots of research and leg work pays dividends!

Hi...nice video. Particularly interesting as the garden of my house has remnants of the old platform 1 at Liverpool Road station. Although overgrown and barely distinguishable now, the edge where the platform used to be is evident as it sits at a higher level than some of the former trackbed. We also inherited a piece of yorkstone platform edging, which sits in our garden, when we bought the house. The previous owner of our house was a BR employee, and had purchased the land the platform had occupied, when the tracks were lifted.

Hi Ian, thank you for your kind comment. It's good to know there is something which survived of the station. I would imagine if you had a dig around you would come up with a few railway related finds
