No Pablo, I merely warned you about the new CCTV ball camera up on that viaduct, the same camera that saw some other people on it and had Network rail round in the van looking for them. If you want to trespass on live railway property, fine go ahead, go for it!!Let me know if you got the full £1000 fine, and criminal record I wouldn't bother asking me for any more advice or help again if you have no intention of taking any notice of it, it seems a bit pointless to me, but there you go, each to their own! What so there is CCTV now on the viaduct?pahhh!!

It's effective too, the Network rail van was snooping around within minutes when some lads went up. Network rail have vans on the case quick, they seem to have a base where the old Whitehall Road crane is. You can just make it out on the white pole at the end of the viaduct herehttp://g.co/maps/hgebp

I seem to remember a blue tent being near where the camera is at some point - almost as if someone had moved in!

To add to Phill's very clear message, it should also be added that access to the entire Central viaduct area is fenced and gated off, and that to reach it involves trespass and clear danger. Much of the Holbeck High/Low Level area is only fenced off where there are still operational railway tracks, and the rest can be reached from/within public spaces without interference or danger.

I had a quick glance at the line where it passes under Leathley Rd towards the Crown Point centre a couple of weeks ago. As well as what others have said, part of the line is fenced off and used for storing industrial waste, and part is seriously overgrown and flooded. The fact that there's no graffiti there as far as I can tell suggests that it's either inaccessible or so obviously unsafe that people didn't even bother to try. The whole area around the old viaducts and railway lines is also part of the red light district so it's not really the best place to go poking around.

Passing by on the train close to the holbeck high level site i noticed a round concrete cap, the sort that goes on old shafts, with a manhole in it. Wonder what it is.http://goo.gl/maps/142R
