Railway Route from Grimsby to Barton

This film showcases edited video and Cine footage that I filmed in the 1980/90s capturing the railway route between Grimsby and Barton Upon Humber.

I was on holiday around these parts just a month ago, these are really nice and interesting parts to be around. I actually camped at Marshland Alpacas which is on the other side of Oxmarsh Lane level crossing. Definitely come back here again in the future!

Thank you for sharing this footage. I’m a driver for EMR and work the Barton trains regularly. It’s so nice to see the people who worked this line in the past, and the way it was worked.

Glad you enjoyed it. The next film will be Gainsborough to Brocklesby later in the year

I explored this in full in 1994 when the Barrow Crossing operator still had to trot back and forth to open and close the gates. There was no access to the former pier to the public but yes you can make out the old station.

Marvellous video and footage, thank you for creating and sharing this. The line has changed a lot since the 70s and 80s!

The line from Lowestoft to Ipswich ( was ) , is MUCH more picturesque ........ and ..... the 1960's line from Tiverton to Tiverton Junction was idyllic to walk along on a summer's day ( ? ) .......... DAVE™🛑
