They were too proud with themselves to demolish that amazing viaduct.

When looking at Bolt St Station on the ELR from the footbridge, you can see the top of the bridge that carried the line to Manchester over the Knowsley St to Bolton line. The large flat metal girders in between the tracks are the top of the bridge and are only partially filled as you can see the gap under when at track level

That Clifton line would be perfect today for me. I live 2 mins from Clifton junction and work in Radcliffe.

Its hard to imagine but the current ELR line to Heywood that curves sharp left past Bury South signal box and rises over 'the hump' at 1 in 19, originally dropped down to Knowlsley Street Station on a steep curve. that linked the two stations.

Brilliant Video, the Darcy Lever was a lovely viaduct to look at.

Enjoyable video thank you. The motorway constructed when they destroyed Molyneux Brow station was originally called the M62. I never knew there was a path coming out near the McDonald's in Radcliffe

There were rumours circulating that Bolton wanted to connect the Metro Link via Radcliff using the old viaducts and reusing as much of the original pathway that once carried the railways along the way, but due to housing development, the state of the viaducts and the cost of connection, those plans were shot down.

I believe a route using at least some parts of the old alignment is still on the cards. It was also planned to be incorporated into Picc-Vic!

Used to live near Black Lane Station and in the night you could hear steam trains letting off steam and from my bedroom window I could see the trains on their way to Bolton

At 9:51 - the bridge crosses a path. This used to be much deeper but filled with earth from the local estate build. Used to play here as a child and look up at the bridge remnants. It was a good 10 - 12 feet tall.

At 9:30min of the video i always thought the light red (bleached by the sunlight) girder bridge, carried the old railway line to Bolton over the canal as we can see it from the tram and have a clue of the location due to the diversionary heading. Thank you for the explaination and for sharing another interesting video. Looking forward for next uploads as i noticed lack of activity in the late weeks / months. Hope nothing to worry about your health. Keep safe.

You should team up with Geoff Marshall to do lost railways. But this is such a incredible video. This is what the lost railways in Greater Manchester was like before. Before it disappeared and some have been converted into as part of the Manchester Metrolink. And some of the existing lines that are now electrified.

I've walked that route, and some of it is very wide, looks like there was four tracks or more for some distance between ringley road and molyneux brow. And I wish you'd learn to be a bit more careful with the camera and stop shaking and swinging it about as it makes some of us brutally dizzy!
