Just MAYBE! you might be seeing a LOT more of this viaduct & the whole area in general with a few tunnels thrown in for good measure on the big screen although i can't possibly elaborate any further as i'm sworn to secrecy following 2 days of strange activity finished off by this mornings venture with a very influential man who most deffinately can! I'll keep you informed as & when. I love suspense don't you?

its amazing really . ive often driven around, under it etc but saw it on good old google earth awhile ago now and me and a buddy went to check out getting up on top like . easier than it looks i have to say but when your up there it just curves its way into leeds . fantastic . we also had a look at the dead end line near knowsthorpe with the big drop into the river . two minutes out of the city and you feel like your in the middle of nowhere . we intend to go back in winter as the greenery was a bit intense lol

Is this the same viaduct that crosses the canal near where Monkbridge works used to be? I've walked under it many times and often wondered what the view was like 'up there'Great bit of film phill!

No, this is the one that runs from bottom of Glederd Rd and runs through to Holbeck Triangle.The one your on about is the big black stone viaduct, that ran from near Armley Gyratory and into the old Leeds station, where the newly converted Royal mail buildings are / were!
