Parallel Lines International: Pau-Canfranc pan Pyrenees Railway 4K
the abandoned pan Pyrenees mountain railway was an accidental find as I headed from France to Spain on Boxing Day .. filmed in a day and edited on the road [as well as finishing off in a hotel as I recover from a pretty horrible cold]
France and Spain open new railways, not close them so it was a surprise..and it is a celebrity as there is constant talk of opening the line again.

I hope you enjoy the views and the history.

Apologies for the audio, I put this video together on the road, was hit by a virus and completed it whilst hauled up in a very echoing hotel room in Spain. I only learned of the history after filming the route, and it it’s significance. But despite short comings I hope you enjoy it AND please subscribe ... it helps get new videos out.

Well done, Mr. Dingle. Can't beat this combination: trains, geopolitics, mountains and geology...

I have been down this way many times and if you are not in any hurry to go to Spain this is a very scenic route

monumental! une gare magnifique.

indeed the station has been beautifully restored, for a few €million of course, but no sign of the line being restored. When I was there it seems work is complete but the construction fencing is still in place

Thanks for the wonderful video , I have driven the Oloron Sainte Marie to Zaragoza route at least a dozen times in both directions since 2010 and stopped photographed and explored several sections and tunnels on the the disused line . I only became aware of the spiral tunnel in 2019 I notice in your commentary you don’t recommend exploring it , can I ask why

@julesdingle Жыл бұрын

yes, discovering the spiral tunnel [and as I say I discovered the network on Boxing Day ] was exciting and even though I do have floodlights I chickened out doing the entire length .. and from a filming POV it is not spectacular spending half an hour in a tunnel. But it was a real surprise.. I expect France and Spain to build railways not close them, so had to squeeze in a special episode. Glad you enjoyed the episode

@julesdingle Жыл бұрын

oh but I was fascinated as to how the electrical cables were strung out to fit in the tunnel and offer contact for the train. Sadly I'm still very much in the literal dark on that feat of engineering

picked up a virus- not covid- actual saw the person who gave it to me, they coughed in a supermarket and I noticed them. 3 days later a painful cough that hurt my ribs.. then 3 days in a carpark in bed. as soon as I was able to drive I rested a few days in a hotel.
