I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Land owner permission not required.
Location of the old railway embankments that historically linked the Ormskirk/ Preston and Wigan / Southport lines together.
Rail services linking the lines were discontinued back in 1960’s and the track removed in 1973. Local campaigners have pushed Network Rail to reinstate the tracks and electrify the lines as the embankments still remain…but to date still no avail.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 20/02/2025. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
