Just over nine minutes! It explains about the planned "Northern Heights" extension which was scrapped after WWII and follows the planned route showing the unfinished traces that are still there today.

That's quite interesting, not sure wtf the guy was doing in the middle of the M1 near the end though - that's just stupid.

Interesting, I'd be interested in seeing more in the same style of this 'Unfinished London' it sounds like he intends to make a series?

Great Video, very interesting. If I weren't such an ugly guy, I'd make some of those clips about Vienna.
But damn, that guy is talking fast. Reminds me of how bad my English is.

He does talk pretty fast, I'm a native speaker and there are a couple of bits that I had to skip back a few sentences to listen again

Indeed, I had to download it but it really interests me. I wonder if there will be any more...

That's not re-opening is it...
And can you re-open something if it was never open in the first place?

I suppose they'd have to close as far as Mill Hill East to incorporate it to the new line (which has about as slim a chance of it being built as lobster going a week without some hot manlove). Then it would be re-opened, as per most of the Manchester Metrolink
