Places to see in ( Peterborough - UK ) Nene Valley Railway
Places to see in ( Peterborough - UK ) Nene Valley Railway
The Nene Valley Railway (NVR) is a preserved railway in Cambridgeshire, England, running between Peterborough Nene Valley and Yarwell Junction. The line of Nene Valley Railway is 7 1⁄2 miles (12.1 km) in length. There are stations at each terminus, and three stops en route: Orton Mere, Ferry Meadows and Wansford.
In the early 1980s, the Nene Valley Railway ( NVR ) decided to extend its running line, which then terminated at Orton Mere station, along the route of the original Nene Valley Line to a new station west of the East Coast Main Line, adjacent to the new Railworld Museum. Peterborough Nene Valley opened, for the first time, on the Late Spring Bank Holiday weekend of 26 May 1986. This extended the NVR to its current length, 7 1⁄2 miles (12.1 km).
Since 1999, there has been talk of the 'crescent link' project promoted by 'Railworld' – a scheme to allow the NVR to run trains through the westernmost end of the Nene Park, across the river Nene into the Peterborough mainline station to connect directly with East Coast, National Express East Anglia, East Midland Trains, Arriva Cross Country and First Capital Connect services.
( Peterborough - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Peterborough . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Peterborough - UK

Ribblehead Viaduct & Dent On The Settle -Carlisle Railway- Highest mainline station in England
(Pls Watch in Full HD 720 or 1080 )
We went to the beautiful & scenic village of Dent in Yorkshire last month.Through this village runs the Settle-Carlisle railway and we were really happy to travel in it.
The Settle-Carlisle railway journey is a memorable one to anyone as it passes through some unspoilt landscape and dales which are truly breathtaking.It also passes through some beautiful meadows and lush riverside pastures.There are 11 stations, 22 viaducts and 14 tunnels on this line.
The viaducts are truly breathtaking and are must see structures.
I really wanted to see the magnificent & the longest 24 arch viaduct at Ribblehead.We took the train journey from Dent to Ribblehead and back.We also walked near it & went under it.I did the train journey for a sorter video for easy viewing.
Welcome to England's most scenic railway
================================
Welcome to Settle-Carlisle country.The Settle - Carlisle Railway is without doubt one of Britain's most spectacular railway lines.
The line is probably the most scenic railway journey in England. It has survived two attempts to close it - once in the early 1960s and later in the 1980s. Both attempts caused local and national outrage. However, fortunes have now changed as millions of pounds have been spent upgrading tracks and stations. The line opened in 1876 - we hope the line is here for many more generations to come.
The 72 mile route from Settle to Carlisle takes you on a journey through the magnificent Yorkshire Dales, the line heads north up Ribblesdale between the towering gritstone capped fells of Yorkshire's famous Three Peaks - Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-Ghent.
Over the 24 arches of the magnificent Ribblehead Viaduct before plunging in to the longest tunnel on the line at Blea Moor. Emerging onto the side of Dentdale,(one of the more remote - and dramatic - northern dales) the line leaves the Dales at Garsdale and makes it way through the gentle, lush rolling hills of the Eden Valley. with rural villages and market towns before arriving at the great border city of Carlisle.
Ribblehead Station
===============
Ribblehead Station is in one of the most beautiful areas on the Settle to Carlisle line.This was one of the most difficult sections of the line ever to be built.The station is unstaffed.
The magnificent Ribblehead Viaduct - 24 arches crossing Batty Moss 100 feet below and 440 yards long, follows the station. Ribblehead station now houses a Visitor Centre in the refurbished station building.
Shortly after the viaduct is Blea Moor Tunnel, at 2629 yards long & built1870-1875.This is the longest tunnel on the line.The area of Ribblehead station and viaduct is one of the wildest and most remote in the North of England. Frequently there is a very strong wind and the weather can close in very quickly.
In 1938 Ribblehead became a meteorological report point.
Dent station
==========
Dent is the highest mainline station in England.Dent station first opened for public use in 1877 - it closed in 1970 and reopened in 1986. Dent village is situated 4 miles away and 600 feet lower than the station.
The weather is the prevalent feature at Dent. Snow fences made from old railway sleepers can be seen on the right when travelling towards Carlisle. These were used to try and keep the snow off the tracks, but were not always successful, as was found to be the case in the winter of 1947. At the peak of its use 90 trains a day passed through the station.However it is unstaffed today.
Dent Head Viaduct - 100 ft. high , 199 yds. long,10 arches, Built 1870-1875
Ribblehead Viaduct
================
Ribblehead viaduct is actually the largest and most famous viaduct throughout the whole of the Settle to Carlisle railway line. The viaduct has 24 arches, is 104 feet high and 440 yards long.Built 1870-1875.
The wind is very prevalent around the Station and viaduct and many signalmen, crossing the viaduct, going to Bleamoor signal box have been blown off the embankment. During the war a train carrying vehicles was even blown off. There has even been the odd steam engine blown to a halt.
Construction of Ribblehead Viaduct took 5 years although it was not decided until December 1872 whether to have 24 or 18 arches. This depended on the workforce available - either stonemasons or navvies. The brick arches of a nominal 45ft span were sprung with stone voussoirs. The stone was quarried between Selside and Ribblehead.
During the building of the line over 2,000 people mainly 'navvies' lived at Batty Moss in temporary huts. When not working on the line navvies and miners lived in squalid conditions, and drinking, gambling and fighting were the main recreation.A school and hospital of sorts was established and missionaries were even sent in. Many lives were lost during the building of the viaduct.
4464 Bittern Pounds Over Ais Gill - The Cumbrian Ranger - 2014
The Cumbrian Ranger excursion would see a garter blue A4 over the S&C, in the form of A4 Pacific No 4464 Bittern. The tour would start diesel hauled from Tyseley, and head up to Crewe where Bittern would come on for a sprint on the WCML. Our first location was Lancaster, and after a points failure at Morcambe junction all other services were backed up and we was informed via Realtime Trains that Bittern would be put through platform 3 on the slow, But surprisingly Bittern was seen racing through the station at 65mph on the fast as it made up lost time.
Now at Carnforth the A4 would have to come off due to gauging issues at Carlisle. So once again and disappointingly for the passengers, they were diesel hauled to Carlisle and would miss the climb of Shap via steam traction. With plenty of time to kill we headed up to Shap Wells to catch the light engine move to Carlisle where we saw Bittern coasting up to Shap Summit. Unfortunately i have had to cut the majority of the scene away, due to the heavy wind which distorted the start of the scene.
Now for the return and leg and the reason for our trip up North. The A4 Left Carlisle for it's assualt on the S&C around 10 minutes down and headed for Appleby for a splash of water. Now topped up the Pacific would head over to Ais Gill where i captured it putting in a superb performance on it's climb to the Summit where it reached a speed of 42mph just before the top, a excellent climb considering it was hauling 11 coaches plus a dead weight diesel, bringing the load up to at least 14 carriages.
After Ais Gill we raced back in the car, and sprinted down to Ramsgreave and Wilpshire where we arrived with 12 minutes to spare, and manged to get two shots of 4464 slogging it's way up Wilpshire Bank through the station and eventually reaching the summit at 18mph due to a dewy rail so i'm told.
Back in the car again, and more fast driving as we raced the A4 down the M6 attempting to get ahead of it. We arrived at Winsford with around about 10 minutes spare as Bittern is seen twice accelerating away from a signal check as it finishes it's final stage of it's route.
Many thanks to Keith for the company and the fast driving. And thanks to Peter over at the National Preservation forum for the report, which can be viewed by clicking the link below
Hope you enjoy the footage.
Bittern, Very Fast Steam Loco - 91.5 MPH.
LNER A4 Class 4464 (60019) Bittern has been given dispensation to run at 90MPH on the East Coast Main Line on June 29th 2013, in exactly 1 month, to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of Mallard's world speed record, subject to a satisfactory high speed test. This is that test. The weather was perfect - damp, cool, no wind. Bittern left Didcot at 05:23 am and flew through Slough 05:58 at full pelt for an average of 60mph over the 35 miles. The 6.2 mile section between Maidenhead and Slough was completed in 4 minutes, an average of 93MPH. Using film time markers I timed the whole train at 90mph through Taplow where this film was shot.
Edit 15th Jan 2014: I have just found out that official on-board timing had this train clocked at 91.5mph through Taplow. A DVD of the the story of Bitterns modern high speed passenger run can be purchased at
