Liverpool Central Train Station Forgotten Level & A Few Old Ghost Signs - Merseyrail -

- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- firstly here is the info on the old high level station
all info is in the link
disused-station...
been wanting to do this one for a while now and with the site secured up with network rail taking up all of the former high level station it was pretty much impossible
however when adam introduced me to the carpark which is slap bang in the middle of the former train station this was the next best thing and what a bloody view you get from both sides of this former train station.
in short the high level opened in 1874 and closed in 1972 then reopened in 1977 as the central station we know today.
but all info is in the link have a look there's lots more old photos there to
photos taken from disused station's website and from a few fbook historic groups...
and a bonus on this mooch is the old ghost signs spotted at the rear of bold street and actually on bold street itself......
the tunnel you see in the video you can look down on the now low level central station but for obvious reasons cannot access the site to see this
but if anyone from network rail is watching and fancies giving me a tour please get in touch...
here the link if you fancy buying me a coffee
no obligation just think of it as a tip jar...cheers

Excellent fellas, I never realised I was walking across an old railway bridge my whole life, and great to see our City from that high level, gives it more character.
its mad isnt it whats behind the wall of things in the city ive a lot more to show off to
thanks for watching mate
Thank you George, it’s amazing what you see at the back of old buildings.
pleasure brian thanks for watching mate glad you liked the video
One forgotten tunnel that might get you interested George is mentioned by Adrian Jarvis in his book about the Overhead Railway. When the LOR was extended southward to Dingle, the last stretch was in tunnel with an underground station in Park Road that later became a motor garage. To build that tunnel they had to cross the existing Cheshire Lines tunnel from Liverpool Central. As there was very little clearance between the two tunnels, to avoid collapsing the CLC tunnel, a relieving arch was built to prevent any load being taken by the tunnel lining. However, the CLC, at that time, planned a second parallel tunnel, which would have the same issue. The LOR decided to get round that problem by building a short stretch of that tunnel with a relieving arch over. So, it is possible that this tunnel remains and that some access was provided for inspection - possibly from the LOR tunnel.
The CLC had some ambitious plans and these included a tunnel under Liverpool city centre to link up to the North Docks. The intention was to use the Mersey Railway tunnel for part of that route via Central Low Level Station. That is probably why the second tunnel was needed. That had to wait for the Merseyrail Link Line scheme of the 1970s, which used the existing tunnel following the closure of Central High Level.
I used to love going up the car parks in my town and taking pictures and seeing what had changed, where everything is relative to other buildings and places always seems surprisingly different to what you think it is on the ground. It gives a whole different perspective. Also, when the fair is on or it snows it's great to go up them.
Where I live isn't anywhere near as interesting as this though.
there is another one by albert dock but its not as good as this one this is well the best one in the city for views
thanks for watching much appreciated
Awesomevideo guys. Thank you.
thanks glad you liked it and thanks for watching
nice one. vertigo warning ha ha, had me gripping onto the arm of the sofa ha ha
I really like the before and after photos. Thanks for another very interesting video. 👍
cheers thanks for watching i was chuffed when i found all those old photos of the place especially the one with the tunnel lol
Thanks for sharing-very helpful for my current project " Liverpool railways steam era" train sim.
Pleasure thanks for watching
My dad and Uncle Kevin worked on Central Station George
really i never knew that mate
@@g2emedia1977 yeah mate, I’m not sure if your dad worked on it too. It was a firm called Nuttalls.
There’s one thing that always interested me was finding out where old railway lines go in Liverpool. I’m really into aviation but I also like looking up where the old railways went. It was only about 15 years ago I found out what dingle tunnel was. Used to live about 5 minutes from there when I was kid. Boss video again George.
thanks for watching joe glad you liked the vid
i have a few other rail things planned so stay tuned they are really interesting
same here mate i used to live 5 mins away from dingle station pity its now all locked off
im a fan of aviation to
Hi George, the photo at 6.45 is where the turntable used to be for the steam engines. They used to turn them around there so as the we’re heading the right way when leaving the station through the tunnel on the right.
cool thanks for the info
That was brilliant, your city centre is much more scenic than what I grew up next to (Brum) & funny how you stuck your head out of all those windows, but went a funny colour on that small "big" wheel 🎡
ha ha yeh i have a thing about travelling rides i always think they are about to fall over ha ha
@@g2emedia1977 They probably do ... or blow away while you're on them !
@yamyam_1978 ha ha true
I'm not from Liverpool, Sheffield actually, but travelled to and from Liverpool Central many times on our holidays to the Isle of Man. This was during the late 50s to the early 60s. I remember passing through the tunnels, there were a few gaps of daylight as we passed through. A larger gap gave a view of some of the updtream docks. The last tunnel if am correct was called Diggle Tunnel.
I'm amused how much of the infrastructure still remains.
Great video George love seeing the before and after photos never thought of going up on carpark to check out the views 👍
thanks marti its well woth parking there not only great views but its cheap as chips to
thanks for watching mate
Used to love that car park George and the views, then they changed the payment system which wasn’t working at the time, so I changed to mount pleasant, you make it sound easy so I might give it another try.
i wad the same but it is really easy and much better than waiting for a machine to pay if its busy
i use this carpark all the time now when in the city centre
thanks for watching joyce
It’s wonderful to see these hidden places of my old city!
I miss it so much, I feel homesick.😢

Boss view isnt it
Excellent, very interesting!
Nice to see some old buildings left in the city centre.
thanks glad you liked the video theres lots of old stuff left in the city
@@g2emedia1977 Currently working at the rear of Vauxhall works, Ellesmere and have been digging into all the industrial railways that connected all the heavy industries, fascinating!
Maybe you could do a video on the subject.
Regards.
The building with bank on it was a bank spot on. May 1977 central low level opened, I'm sure
Fascinating bit of history around there… on the back of bold street was an arcade called the roscoe arcade, and there was Howard arcade too. I’ve got pictures of them if you want them. Upscaled them. Give me your email by PM and I’ll send them over.
Thats not the BT building thats Colquitt st Catering College as my Nan used to be the Supervisor back in the 80s!
ahh cool didnt know that was still going cheers
4:32 I can't believe what I'm seeing.
Not since eyesore something similar in Carry On Sergeant.
There it was painted stones lining the paths. Sometimes coal was used as an extra turning of the screw in the mind-numbing torture of the futile exercise.
Dad confirms all too regular painting punishment
In the
"Lights Out. PUT THOSE DAMN lights OUT!"of the wartime blackout, tney at least showed you where the path was.
To the point [at last]:
What's the excuse for the multi-storey car park painting the route up and down all in white? How much does that cost to renew?!
What is it with all these pretentious new names... the village you named at the end of the video doesn't look like a bleedin village to me. Really enjoy the site lads. Cheers PS There are people all over who would love your channel, would it help if you put Liverpool in your name to get it out there or doesn't it work like that - haven't got a clue, I'll stop wafflin now.
Where did the trains go to on that little arched spur please?
Hunts cross
@barrywhite9768 is it possible that the tracks still lead down to the lower level joining them at some point as trains leave Central for Brunswick? If so, where can this be seen?
Yeah the tracks lead down into central the tunnel was excavated back in the 70s it's all underground now so can't be seen
