We are going a roundabout way to the village via a quiet length of top road and track and then an abandoned rail line of cinder trackbed ablaze with fireweed. |
But they did believe a link to Menston Railway Station carrying one train every hour through to Leeds along a line close to the old original trackbed, was possible. |
Next is the railway line trackbed, which was busier with strollers and cyclists. |
The old Midland route via Miller's Dale is now gone, although much of the trackbed after Matlock remains as walking trails. |
The bypass would use the railway trackbed for much of its route. |
Final preparations are being made for the eight-week closure of Ipswich tunnel for the trackbed to be lowered. |
