  • Hold on? They've closed this line? After it was electrified? Well that was bloody pointless wasn't it?

  • We need Woodhead Route re-opened, and operated by Class 321s.

  • They should open up the main Woodhead Tunnel and reopen the whole route as it was a great diversionary route. They should use OHLE AC 25 KV system.

  • @Marillionmad

    they used DC and the system was worn out....

  • Great vid and I agree with all the posters - what a waste. Can you re-post without the music please?

  • @Marillionmad That was just 27 years after electrics started running and money not well spent considering a new tunnel had been build.

  • 76022 still carries old BR crests despite air brake modifications

  • Why can't I play this on my mobile now as use to do????

  • @Marillionmad Yep a typical "makes no sense" railway move :D

  • @WrongRoadRailways Or better still a fleet of new built Class 377 electrostars. Imagine if the Midland Main Line was electrified between Bedford and Sheffield, then on the re-instated line to Manchester Picadilly via Woodhead. An impossible dream? Well they all said the Channel Tunnel wouldn't happen. Who knows what the future may bring?

  • Imagine?
