At Great Musgrave in Cumbria a bridge over the former NER line from Barnard Castle to Tebay was infilled with concrete by Highways England who are responsible for former railway structures such as bridges, tunnels & viaducts. HE claim the bridge was not safe to carry 40Ton lorries despite being a quiet country road. There were many objections to the infill but HE went ahead in July 2021. This severed the trackbed between the Eden Valley Railway at Warcrop & the preserved Kirkby Stephen East making a future link impossible. This year it came about that the infill was illegal & required Planning permission from Eden District Council. This has been applied for & refused & the infill has to be removed & the bridge maintained. The infill looked simply dreadful & described in Parliament as cultural vandalism. To see just search Great Musgrave Bridge & you will see. HE have had plans stopped for other infills planned.

Everytime I see your screenshots PLP I wish I could enter the world you've created and have a darn good hike around and explore all over it.
I'm a bit late to the party with these....
Truly awesome content!
The strange sky is due to shooting on a 'model railway' style route....
