Out of use lines where track remains

[61248]

Also in Nottinghamshire there is the line from Netherfield up to the former Gedling Colliery which is still largely intact, then just further down there is the line off to Cotgrave Colliery, although that has mostly been taken up.


Network Rail are in the process of the lifting the Gedling Colliery Branch
I understand the route is protected for future train or tram use to a Park & Ride on the former Gedling Colliery site,although this has been discussed by the relevant authorities since the pit closed in 1991 so I'm not holding my breath

There is a whole yard of tracks East of Coatbridge, 4 or 5 roads at least, with fully grown forest of trees and shrubs all over the place. A few very rusted dilapidated wagons too. Will get a picture next time I go past it.
