Riddings

1908 0-4-0ST locomotive 'Whitehead' running round at the eastern end of the Midland Railway Centre's line at Riddings, on the afternoon of Saturday, 4th May 2019. At the present time, this terminus consists of just a run-round loop with no station nor alighting facilities but the MRC does have a long-term aim to bring the line closer to the Erewash Valley Line with a new Pye Bridge station to allow passengers to alight at this end of the line. As it is, the current Riddings run-round loop is within sound, if not sight, of the Erewash Valley Line which is just behind the trees in the left background.

Location: Riddings
