Leicester to Nottingham on the Great Central.

Take a ride on a DMU along the Great Central Railway in the late 1960s. The invaluable record of the line was shot by a supporter of the Great Central Railway when the line was operated by British Railways and shows many locations which today have either been restored or have disappeared. Look out for the crossing of the Midland Main Line bridge just north of Loughborough. This bridge has been rebuilt as part of the reunification project.

Railway trip 2018: Leicester to Loughborough

What to do on the kids summer holiday?
When you have a teen passionate about trains&engines, and one into Harry Potter, you can go on the last train line built in the XIX century.

It's been an amazing day for all of us.
Dominic tells us about the history of the line. He chose this activity for us to do this summer holiday.
Rosie thinks it's just like the Hogwarts Express.
I get excited about anything to do with history which also looks pretty.
Adrian remembers his childhood.

Also, meeting the bears of old Leicester train station felt special.

With many thanks for the track:

Great Central Railway 30th December 2016

A few clips from last visit of the year. 6990 Witherslack Hall, 45305 and D6535

GCR on Sunday 24th January 2010

With just ONE WEEK TO GO before the Winter Gala, I thought that I would do some pre-event preparation and test out some new locations for next week. Unfortunately I could only get to one because it started to rain so I hitched a lift in the car. However I'm quite pleased with the shot at Swithland (even if it is a bit jerky panning round!). The GCR was holding a Black 5 themed weekend with two of the Stanier creations in action. These being:
-No.45231 'The Sherwood Forester' &
-No.44767 'George Stephenson'
44767 is appearing in weathered livery after it's overhaul until the repaint by the GCR (don't quote me on that!)
