The sheer size of it took my breath away when I paid it a visit on a much warmer day than yours by the look of it. I did Cadeby Tunnel on the same day, so it was nice to get to see two fantastic structures in one go. Great new intro titles by the way👍.
It certainly is a beast. Interesting to read that they also bought the land and minerals underneath the viaduct to prevent mining subsistence like at Bennerley.
We went to conisborough castle back in August and was amazed to see this viaduct from the top never knew anything about it till then thanks for showing us it 👍
I remember a few years ago, well maybe longer, a British crime drama used this as its dramatic finale setting. Can't remember for the life of me the drama though. A relatively young structure then , and just for a single track ! Think I'll pay it a visit .
I used to see it fenced off from the bus on my way to see deltics at Doncaster, in those days the cutting at the edlington end hadn't been landfilled you could also see denaby and cadaby collieries and i have cycled and walked over it many times since it was opened up , its scale never fails to impress such a short working life though
Another Great video Paul and yet another location I see through the cab window. I presume the passenger train picture was a railtour as I don’t think it had passenger service. Never seen a picture of a diesel on it but they must have worked over it Cheers Russ
Yeah must have been some very early diesels in the early 60s. Class 40s perhaps? I've not seen too many photos full stop of this viaduct. It mustn't have been very trendy 😄
i hate to be morbid but i met a guy at conisbrough station a few years ago (i live nearby) who jumped off this thing .....ended up paraplegic, i chuffin hate walking across it, although i did once scale it (just the embankment ...not the actual brick) at 6 in the morning on my way back to edlo from work lol

There is a cool little tunnel around there also.

Amazing structure many thanks 👍
A great piece of engineering 👍
You picked a right day for it lol , another great video
😄 I seem to pick them recently.
I never let a bit of rain get in the way of a good day out though...most of the time.
Omg how magnificent
You should of taken a trip to the water transfer in a cutting just up from the viaduct.

You're very welcome.
I bet its a great view from the castle.
Thanks for a great video and a look at a beautiful piece of engineer and railway history
Cheers Steven.
You're right. Thing of beauty.

Was it DCI Banks or something? I only say that as I read it on Wikipedia 😄
@@WobblyRunner ha yes , it must have been 🤣

Great memories there.
You're right. 50-60 years isn't a lot is it.

I’m sure in the early days there was a passenger service but like most back then in this area never really took off

Oh god. He's lucky to survive that. I assume it was into the river?
