- Join me as I continue a series of videos where I look at the Transpennine Route Upgrade around Huddersfield mainly by drone. In this video I'm looking Wheatley's Bridge - a grade II listed bridge which will be demolished to provide more clearance for electric trains
More videos coming soon for different points around Huddersfield linked to the Transpennine Route Upgrade - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Thanks for the update, looking forward to the next one 😎
Another first class report, thank you.
It's nice to see the progress of the TPR upgrade. The fact that it is going ahead must be the 8th wonder of the world. I travel occasionally from Leeds to Huddersfield by rail for leisure purposes when I visit the Holme Valley area. Rail replacement buses are ok but better than nowt. Thanks for documenting all this. I watch with interest.
Very interesting 👍🏻
Yes...good coverage...thank you
Thanks!
I love how we are re quadrupling a route that was absolutely fine 100+ years ago 😒 should have never lifted the tracks in the first place
The irony isn't lost on me either!
I wonder why this bridge and others on this line could not have been saved by using GLS 100R® Electrically Insulating Coating? This didn't seem to be listed as an option although it is cleared by Network Rail. Is it just that this development has taken place after all the deliberations over the TPR upgrade had taken place? Pity because it could have saved millions and saved some rather fine old bridges. John
There was no reference to that in the documents I read so presume it wasn't considered. I'm not close enough to the project or have enough engineering background to answer your question
Is the coating viable to use on masonry bridges. Afaik it’s only suitable for already painted/ metallic bridges?
Overhead electrification needs height which the shallow arches does not provide.
