Looking at the almost abandoned Bordesley Railway Station (in Digbeth? Deritend? Bordesley?) with one train per week, and the unfinished, pointless Duddeston Viaduct that aims at Curzon Street and doesn't get there. It never did connect to anything or carry a single train. Is it even 'disused' if it was never used? We look at why (Spoiler: It was railway company games). The GWR knew it was pointless but built it anyway.
A mix of the usual drone footage and shaky handheld stuff on the ground, also featuring old maps with rudimentary graphics as is customary for a transport history kind of video.
