Baildon

Repairs to the landslip that occurred at Baildon in February 2024 were still not complete on 8th June but significant progress had been made when this image was taken. Initially it was thought the line could be cleared within a month but it has proved to be a complex situation necessitating the compulsory purchase of two substantial houses, which were then demolished so the cutting could be regraded with drainage installed. This view looks towards Baildon No.1 Tunnel and Guiseley, with Baildon station a short distance behind the camera. Note the catenary wire has been swung back.
