Continuing an exploration of local former colliery branch lines, my next visit was to Calverton. The seven-mile route connected the pit [1952-1999] to the rest of the rail system at Broomhill Junction near Hucknall. There has been talk of making a cycling and walking trail on the former track bed but it is currently undeveloped and heavily overgrown with vegetation, though the ballast is still in place. The bridge shown, looking north, carries the formation across the main A614 Nottingham to Doncaster road.
