Passing through Long Eaton. Ahead the Station Road level crossing and footbridge can be seen. Currently used only for freight (especially coal for the nearby Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station) a typical train can be seen here Image The initial preferred route plans for the HS2 high speed link from Birmingham to Leeds intends to utilise this track bed, but will involve the demolition of the adjoining properties on Bonsall Street on the left. The occupiers received notification letters earlier this week.
