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.

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

@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?
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.
