I remember the bridge being taken down when I was a small child. My grandfather had previously worked at Gnosall station before moving to English Electric in Stafford.
I used the line from Shrewsbury to Stafford often in the early sixties... Dirty steam trains, and old decrepit rolling stock... Shame to see the link go...
Thanks for this informative video! Nice bit of history
I'm riding the old line tomorrow on my bike. Thanks for this information. Great video.
I really enjoyed that it was very informative, I'm researching the stafford line and this is a big help
As a young child, I remember visiting friends in Willey Lane, and waving to the trains. My hometown is Stafford.
