Given we have Old Dalby in the UK why do so many new trains do their
testing in the Czech Republic these days? Perhaps there's an argument
for one track to be returned to being a regular railway linking Melton
Mowbray and Nottingham?
The stretch from the north end of the Old Dalby line, to Central
Nottingham, has been obliterated by various development.
Ah ok. I thought there was a tunnel beyond the buffer stops at the end.
Hard to tell in google.
The main issue is that Lady Bay Bridge has been converted to road use, so
there's no way to get the line into Nottingham station even if you could
clear the route. And converting the bridge back isn't going to happen, as
both bridges in West Bridgford are very busy roads.
