I Followed This Lost Railway | Leicester

Most people walk past this area without realizing a railway once ran right through here 👀 In this another "Tracing the line" video, I traced the OTHER side of Leicester’s lost train line — and there are still surprising clues hiding in plain sight. From old bridges to forgotten pathways, pieces of the railway are still quietly part of the city today. It’s fascinating seeing how history still leaves traces behind, even after all these years 🚂 Do you remember this line when it was still active? Or did you only just discover it now? Cities don’t remove lines. They overwrite them. In this video, we trace a hidden line through the city to uncover what existed before modern development reshaped the landscape.
