Restoring one of Lincolnshire's Lost Railways

In Part 2 of our East Lincolnshire Railway series between Louth and Grimsby, we're visiting the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway, who are in the process of preserving and restoring a section of the lost railway. Link to Part 1 (The disused sections between Louth to Holton Le Clay) -    • A Disused East Lincolnshire Railway Walk f...   The now lost railway line was operated by the Great Northern Railway was opened in 1848 and closed in 1970 to passengers. Although freight trains lasted until 1980 to access the Maltings in Louth. On the last episode we saw some great examples of old crossing gates, signal posts, line side huts and station buildings. The preserved Lincolnshire Wolds Railway is based at Ludborough, approximately halfway between Louth and Grimsby. The railway opened in 1998 and in 2008 was extended to it's current north terminus of North Thorsby. We'll take a ride on the train, have a look around what engines and stock is based at the heritage railway. We'll also take a look at the current restoration of the line towards Utterby and onwards towards Louth. Some track has already been laid and further up the line vegetaion clearance and groundworks are well advanced. https://www.lincolnshirewoldsrailway....
