Nodrog I have watched you sad over signal boxes and racing to see them taken down and finally what a wonderful moment... I don't think I have ever seen you so excited... Great find and a wonderful moment in you vlogs. Thanks for sharing :)

Brill comment, thank you. They are fantastic icons of the railways soon lost to computers. An era I'm living as did the previous generations with steam to diesel.

Dear All, I was once told by a old civil engineer that the holes in the large stone work were sites where big callipers could be fixed so that the stones could be then lifted with an A -frame. Hope this helps. Graham W

Take the lads mountain biking around Coleford, Symonds yat and the forest of dean. Miles of track bed, tunnel mouths, viaducts and no traffic. It's brilliant!.

Another fantastic video. I live about 30 minutes away from Lartington, been up there about a year ago. also I have visited the old Broomielaw signal box and station that’s about 15 minutes from Lartington, that’s derelict like Lartington but the actual station platform and the wooden station building is derelict in the bushes and trees right next to Broomielaw signal box.

Great video again, thanks Gordon and the Family. It’s a shame so much of the line was demolished especially the wonderful Belah Viaduct! There are remnants of the buttresses still, plus what looks like a signal box, may be a line side railwaymen’s cabin. Beautiful location. Poor old Sir Thomas Bouch designed the ill fated Tay Bridge.

Amazing as always Gordon! Love your videos! Always passionate about past and present. Love the insight to the railways that were my local one's until recently! Now live in Scotland but always look forward to hearing from you about how the railways are getting on in the north west and Wales from you. Keep up the good work!

Superb presentation Gordon. Love this type of explore videos. I know you like your signal boxes, you should see if you could do a video of the Bamber Bridge box which is currently propped up with scaffold/girders. It'd be great if you could get access to film there. I believe it's grade II listed. Keep 'em coming lad!

That viaduct u mentioned near the m6, was the ripped up ingleton branch line
@petersingleton5545

Enjoying your videos Gordon, the viaduct by the M6 went off to Sedbergh by the way. The line from Darlington to Stainmoor and Tebay to Barrow that carried coal and iron ore came off the main line south of Tebay at Hincaster Junction just north of Milnthorpe. It then went over to Sandside and Arnside and joined the Carnforth to Barrow line. You can walk this line between Sandside and Arnside starting behind the Ship Inn at Sandside. It's a great walk, takes 2hours there and back. There used to be a station at Sandside. The railway really made Barrow the important town it was at the time.

Another excellent video Nodrog, does the current preserved railway - The Eden Valley Railway at Warcop, not part of tha former route? If so they are hoping to extend back towards Appleby East, as it was a former MOD branchline from a rather unusual mainline connection at Appleby on the Settle & Carlisle mainline station

U tube a chap called Alan Snowden, his stuff is nearly all black and white and shot on cine camera. Late 50's early 60's, P.S don't know if I have mentioned it before there's a vid on u tube which shows trams running around the back of Blackpool.

The "track" from Lartington Village to the Cat Castle (where the Signal Box is located) is private property and not for public vehicular access....you are subsequently parked on private property. The right of way is for the Cat Castle Residents, the farmers, the quarry, the landowner and the tenants only. There is a sign to the left side of the Aqueduct you videoed with a sign on it advising there is no public access. There are local people who have established a prescriptive right of way but that doesn't include you.

Here's another viaduct: www.google.com/maps/@54.611718,-2.0653059,3a,60y,277.36h,112.88t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sBe_dtXYCMdn-GgRCpptNpg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 on a branch to the line in this vid. As for the pronunciation of Kirkby Stephen, the second k isn't pronounced as far as I'm aware. Anyone done a map of old railways ?

Wow- that is the signal box next to our family cottage! They were cottages for the rail workers. The ones nearest used to be used as a “pub” 😜, i.e. drinks for the workers. Such great walks there, feels very secret but so much history. If you walk on and drop down a bit further you can see the end of the viaduct where it would have crossed the valley. I’d be really interested with what history you have dug up and vice versa! 😃
