Classic Railway Films 11 A Look Back At The Woodhead Line in The 1950s and more

The Woodhead Line was a crucial part of the UK's railway network, linking Manchester and Sheffield through the picturesque Peak District. Opened in 1845, the line was a marvel of engineering, with three separate tunnels that allowed trains to pass through the rugged hills This week, we're taking a trip down memory lane to explore the history of the Woodhead Line, a railway that was once the lifeline of the North of England. The Woodhead Line was not only an important part of the UK's transport infrastructure, but it also held a special place in the hearts of the local communities. The closure of the line in 1981 was a devastating blow, but the legacy of the Woodhead Line lives on through the many films and documentaries that have been made about it." #railway #britishrailways #intercity #greatbritishrailways #steamlocomotive #trainspotter The line closed years ago and is now a distant memory however as this video is here you can look back to the good years Watch the other episodes of the series so far in the playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsixpiGqvv8L9bQ_Grrxi6OU4-EOHuzIH&si=0iW1UBFLajzbqk6H
