 As first built, the curve ran from a junction approximately north-east of the viaduct and connected on to the Copy Pit line at Stanfield Hall Junction, near the footbridge on Stansfield Road (the remains of the curve can still be seen from this bridge).In 2012 Network Rail began clearing the trackbed of vegetation and investigating the alignment.This assessment concluded that it could be feasible to reinstate the curve, using a slightly less sharp alignment than the original curve.
