A film maker from York, Dave Thorp, has allowed Minster FM to share this amazing CGI with you. If you are a regular on the York to Selby cycle track you may not be aware it used to be (until 1983) The East Coast Main Line.

Watch as Dave erases a housing estate in Bishopthorpe to put trains back on the line. He's done the same at Naburn Bridge too. The era of London trains turning left at Tescos is back again.

Is the viaduct the one at Stamford Bridge on the Market Weighton line ?

Ah, here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/53.4891/-1.2128

I've been under it (by train and by bike) but not over it.

The bloke walking his dog looks vaguely familiar, but I may be imagining that.
