I often drive past the old Gelderd Road viaduct on the way in/out of Leeds.
I can remember trains from South Yorkshire com ing into Leeds this way in the 1980s. I used to like going on this line because it really felt as though you were snaking along through the rooftops. (Remember being on a long trains of Mk1s with a Peak at the front billowing out exhaust - happy memories . Sorry I digress :roll
A few questions which I wonder if anyone can help with please?
1) Which trains in and out of Leeds used this line before it closed?
2) When did it close?
3) Are there any plans to re-use it again ever? Or is it scheduloed to be pulled down? (I do hope not!)
4) Any pics of (diesel) trains on this line please?
Thanks
