Shame it's not open to passengers
Elmet, I wasn’t trying to be ungrateful, and yes I agree Micky does a hell of a lot for this board.Sorry Armada, it's a free country no-one is forcing you to watch it. It is the Ivanhoe line, named after one of our most celebrated players. Micky does so much for this board he is fully entitled to a frolic of his own every so often. And not that there is much fun on the football side at the moment.
Thanks Micky, made my day, loved it.
4.02... Over Narborough Rd, near the old Huntsman. (Lynn's cafe down to the left).Sorry Micky bit ignorant of this.Trying to follow it looking at houses etc but what route and landmarks does it actually pass?
I can do anything, I'm the chief of policeAll very nice Micky, but, surely on the wrong forum ?
It's the freight only line from Leicester to Burton. Runs through Braunstone, Golf Course Lane etc. Quite near to the bridge at Braunstone X Roads a stone train derailed and ripped up about a mile of track, can't remember the date, Hugh Janus would know. We went 'on the nick' one night in 1981 at Bagworth Junction, we wanted to lift an out-of-use ground signal, it was a decent walk and we were just chopsing away when Freery heard the sleepers creek and about 50 yards behind us was a Class 56 Light Engine with its power shut off, just coasting, we were very lucky, we fucked off back, we never got that signal.Sorry Micky bit ignorant of this.Trying to follow it looking at houses etc but what route and landmarks does it actually pass?
