The Nottingham Suburban Railway Rediscovered - 73 years of Obliteration
The Nottingham Suburban Railway was a British railway company that constructed a line 3.65 miles (5.87 km) in length serving the north-eastern suburbs of Nottingham. It was built to shorten the distance by train to Ilkeston and towns on the Leen Valley railway line, and to connect important brickworks near Nottingham. The short line was expensive to build due to difficult topography; it opened in December 1889, and was worked by the Great Northern Railway; the trains used that company's Nottingham terminus.
Is this video i attempt walk the route where i can, visiting as many locations along the former trackbed as posible.
Although much has been buried or built on, little segments do remain.
There were stations along the route, Sherwood, St Ann's Well & Thorneywood as well as Daybrook Station at the junction of the railway on the Derbyshire, Staffordshire Great Northern Railway Extension.
Tunnels along the route were Ashwell, Sherwood, Thorneywood & Sneinton Tunnel.
We also get to have a look inside Sneinton Tunnel
