Has the lines condition deteriorated rapidly just recently or is there another reason why the Tinsley to Bardon empty stone hoppers now go via the Erewash valley line & Toton before turning right just after Leicester?
We had a test train down the line the other day. Was the first thing I’ve heard for probably a month.
First the tube stock went & now the lines only other freight has seemingly disappeared. On the main straight where I live at Ashby the weeds are growing already on the track bed and yet I noticed the other day that the trees have been cut back opening up the previously tight Upper Packington road bridge shot.
The talk about ASDA moving onto the old Lounge open cast site & building a Daventry style terminal seems to have hit the buffers so I was wondering if there are any other plans for the line?
