- Welcome out on another disused railway explore.
This time, I’m in North East Nottinghamshire, and I am walking a section of the former Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway that ran from Chesterfield to Lincoln.
The section I am walking, is between the villages of Fledborough, and Clifton-on-Trent.
The river Trent splits the two stations, and is crossed by the unbelievable 59 arch Fledborough Viaduct.
The railway was built in 1896, and closed to regular passengers in 1955. Despite the early decline of the stations, there are plenty of remains to be found.
The Trent Valley was once known as ‘Megawatt Valley’ because of all the powerstations that once lined the Trent. One of them, High Marnham, was built next to Fledborough station, and we’ll explore the huge coal sidings off this powerhouse.
I hope you enjoy this short jaunt along the very quiet and scenic railway line, through the Nottinghamshire countryside.

What a naughty pigeon! Great walk.
It got me!
One hell of a viaduct!
@@bwaynesilva awesome isn't it?
Lovely stomp! Just what's needed after a mental week! I appreciate the view of the cooling stations as well, was one of my 'nearly home' views of the ones near Didcot growing up.
@clairharwood6482 ah yes I remember spotting them from the A34.
Brilliant episode, it's possible to get from Lincoln to Skeggy still! What a viaduct that was. Love the platforms that appear...that pigeon made me jump too!
@claireg1717 it got me later on too, when I wasn't filming!

Good walk that Gareth … love the old industrial / coal tracks
Shame it’s all gone due to shortsighted mindlessness 🙄
@@richardmiller6828 can see things being rebuilt going forward.
@@IckeWalks definitely mate, there was never no plan b. Just get rid of all things mining related
Hope you didn’t let the embarrassment of noticing a hay bale on your walk dampen your tea too much ;-)
@stevenberryhill9209 to be honest, when I was editing I was looking at old maps and I think it was something railway related after all. Which is even more embarrassing!
