Mostly featuring transport, locations and music. This is a collection of transport videos, interspersed with some live music events discovered along the way. I usually try to give some context and history to the places visited, although it is known for me to just share a session of watching the trains go by!.
I hope you enjoy.

Alan Keef Ltd, leading manufacturer of narrow gauge locomotives, has organised open days most years, which they have used to raise funds for local organisations. Like everywhere, Covid-19 put paid to the regular open days, so it was a grand "re-opening" in 2022. What a great day it was! See the first public steaming of Corris Railway Falcon replica No. 10.

Used to run alongside "the planton" Station Road....alot of roman pottery on that feild too😊
Caught this video by chance. So glad I did! Congratulations on what you all have done, and wishing you 110% increasing success in the future. It's the veriest heart & soul of railway preservation! 😀
I can't claim any connection with the tremendous efforts that have restored this piece of infrastructure to its glorious present state but I totally agree with your sentiments. I shall definitely enjoy the fruits of the amazing volunteers labours again, as it's a wonderful piece of heritage restoration.
14:40 The original timbers of the lifting bridge didn't survive because they were burnt by contractors working for Leicestershire County Council when they moved it from its position outside the fascinating Snibston Discovery park, which closed in 2015 (a cost cutting measure). The timbers were deteriorating (from an 1845 rebuild and an 1883 redesign) but no thought had been made about recording the workings of the mechanism. Despite being removed from West Bridge in the 1960s, it had been reconstructed firstly at Abbey Pumping Station and then at Snibston but bizarrely in the open position with a wagon on it, which would never have happened. I look forward to it being 'lifted' to show its workings. The current reconstruction was completed using photos and drawings of it in its place at West Bridge (next to Soar Lane).
Thanks very much for the extra detail. I knew the bridge had been at Snibston but wasn't aware it was "official" vandalism that led to the destruction of the original timbers.
I took that trip a few months ago. Delightful & amazing what the local community have achieved with this & the heritage center.
Absolutely! I must go back to the Heritage Centre, as I didn't really get enough time there to see everything. What I did see was superb!
I can remember as a child playing in some old wooden wagons that were abandoned in the cutting near Nunckley Hill. Never thought that the line would be used as a passenger branch line! In my younger days I can recall walking along the towpath of the Grand Union Canal by Frog Island and going under the Swannington Railway lift Bridge when it was still in its rightful place doing the job it was built for. Sad it's not still there but at least it survives in a much renovated condition. It always fascinated me and I spent a long time looking at it and trying to work out just how it operated. It doesn't look quite the same without the canal beneath it and the woodwork was never that pristine! It was a very mucky and murky spot where it stood. I always thought it was a bit spooky!
Brilliant to have this very local history - Thanks for your comments. Yes the original timbers of the lifting bridge haven't survived, but all of the ironwork is original
Great video and I'm glad you enjoyed visiting us at the Heritage Centre. Very pleased to finally see some video evidence of me driving in the Ruston!
Pleased to have been of service!! I'm coming back to the Heritage Centre for a longer visit, because I didn't have enough time when I made the video to see everything.
Many years ago i walked about a mile from the junction and it was just about passable. I certainly never thought trains would ever return.
I'm sure you weren't alone in that view!
Good to see the branch in use. I had a very small hand in helping with the clearance and track laying. A remarkable contrast to one summer weekday evening around the turn of the century when a few of us GCR volunteers, having finished some work on the GCR quicker than expected, went for a nosey down the abandoned trackbed. Despite having iron bars with us we only made it a hundred yards or so due to density of vegetation.
Agreed - Great to see the line back in use again. If only the access to the branch was a bit easier so it could be operated more often, but I realise when funds are tight there's a limit to what any railway can do. Reunification is of course the priority project at GCR.
excellent video captured the heritage center lovely too i work as a guard and driver on the narrow gauge railway there its a great place to bring children and other railway enthusiasts
Hi - thanks for your kind words. I'll look about for you if you're on duty when I next visit and say hello.
Many thanks! Didn't manage to fit in the narrow gauge last time, but I'll be back again to give it a go.
Question answered.Really interesting video for me as l grew up in Leicester in the 50’s/60’s and remember the G C R when it was fully functional.Sadly l saw its demise as well.
I couldn’t quite make it out but was that a remake of Stephenson’s lift bridge in the Nunockley Hill yard ?I remember the one over the Soar when l was a kid.
Hi - Glad you enjoyed the "tour". Yes the bridge you saw at the Heritage Centre sounds like the one you remember. I believe it was near Bath Lane in Leicester.
That was really enjoyable. I have the feeling that some preserved lines are for money; which is of course important; but that others are run by pure enthusiasts. You are definitely in the latter.
Thanks for your lovely comments. The GCR has been through tough financial times, as have almost all of the heritage lines, so it's great to be able to support their efforts to preserve our transport history. I think the GCR offers great value for money, and I think their volunteers are, as you say, very enthusiastic about what they are doing, which makes for a fantastic atmosphere every time I have visited.
Great views, looks like you have plenty of room to fly. Great stuff
Yes we do
Amazing
Thanks
Just to let you know that the 2b and 2c service to cutteslowe Park doesn't run anymore the only buses that go to Oxford from kidlington via cutteslowe Park is 2 and the 2A and the 7 and the 700
Thanks for that - Info correct at time of video but obviously things change!
Flicking the pictures to the beat of the background music means we missed out on some good pics, not the best idea, A senior moment, I guess !!!
Yes agreed. Bit of an experiment but won't bother again!!
The standard stock ran on the Northern City line till 1966, this was the stock that went to the Isle of Wight
Thanks for the clarification :-)
Nice tour!
Rather "rushed" and music totally out of keeping with the era of the exhibits but at least you tried
Thanks. Yes, my friend who joined me on the trip was getting a little bored towards the end of the day and I am conscious that there wasn't really enough footage to do the road transport area full justice. Guess I'll just have to go back and do it again (whooopeee!!!)
Great visit, but bit longer views of the exhibits would be nice.
Next visit!!
Nice video. Terrible annoying music though. There must be something better available for free. And don't edit the video to whatever the music is but to how you want to viewers to see things (like after 4:15).
The subject matter is interesting but video is spoilt by that irritating background music!
Is this located in what used to be the heavy rail overhaul works at Acton Town? If so, that’s where my father spent most of his working life. I still temper telephoning him at work, asking the telephone operator for Acorn 3262, the the switchboard operator for the “drawing office, please”.. He retired in 1973 after 46 years of railway service.
Amazing!! Thanks for sharing. Yes the depot was the central overhaul workshop for the London Underground when it opened in 1922, and continues to play a major role in underground stock maintenance today.
Great video! It’s such a treasure trove there. I loved visiting.
I was literally at the open day I loved the Q stock
Tho I left Acton mainline so I had to walk 1 mile to it
How hard is it to get tickets?
If you keep an eye on www.ltmuseum.co.uk/whats-on-calendar you'll keep up to date with the open days and other events at the Depot. Tickets are bookable online.
going to visit here tomorrow so great to watch the upload first
Enjoy - Looks like you'll see it in better weather than I had :-)
Very interesting video. 😊
The Light Railway Act of 1896 came just too late to be of any real benefit to the railway industry of Great Britain. Petrol-powered lorries came into use not many years after, then, after WW1, large numbers of war-surplus lorries came onto the market and found ready buyers of ex-soldiers who had learnt to drive them whilst in the Army. No real expenditure was necessary apart from the cost of the lorry, and there was no legislation regulating their operations. So the building of light railways became totallly uneconomic, and even the main line companies suffered greatly from road competition which had no Common Carrier obligation.
Liked the showman's engine stereo setup.
Great didn’t know Great Central had an old BR diesel railcar. Good one. As the midland region had diesel parcel cars did any survive on heritage lines? Travelling on GC Railway is one of my bucket list trips!
As far as I know, sadly none of the parcels units survived. Definitely recommend the Great Central as a brilliant day out, whether it's a special event or a normal running day.
Great little video. Particularly liked the history segment
Thanks very much. I love these lines that really shouldn't even have been built, never mind managed to operate.
Really good quality pics
Thanks - Must have cleaned the lens that day!!!
Thank-you!
You're welcome!
How often do they do open days? I woulda gone if I knew one was on! (Went to a similar event at Alan Keef several years ago now)
Hi! My understanding is that Alan Keef Ltd intend to do this every two years now, so keep an eye out in 2024. They'll no doubt post details on their website in due course - www.alankeef.co.uk/
It is good to see that companies like this are still going successfully and hold a place in the future of steam THANK YOU .
Some model buildings have been renovated since I was there 7/8 years ago. I was also horrified to find that the model of car I learned to drive on is in the motor museum there 😩
