Thanks for another little historical document. Thanks for confirming the direction at 3:14 - it helps to orient against the old abandoned (and flooded) GCR formation. Great to see progression on the new railway which (despite the controversy) will benefit our country in the decades to come, as the population grows and the motorways cannot be widened. The cleared path to the bridge from 7:00 onwards may be to provide access to maintain what is now a 130-year-old brick structure beneath a public road?? Certainly at 7:37, land at top level has been marked off.
Another enjoyable walk with you and Austin. Nice one. I've been looking at the online HS2 plans that I know of, and that bridge looks to be safe. But, as the plan I have is from 2016, I wouldn't want to bet on it 8 years down the line.
Cheers...good episode

Great video capturing bridges and GC for posterity. It just shows HS2 contractors are disgusting vandals when it is not necessary.
Very sad to see that piece of history earmarked for demolition.
Spent 5 months in chetwode last year. Beautiful but hs2 ruining it
