So long ago! Love the 40s👍

There’s plans to reinstate the railway in Armagh.

And the Class 47 is still going in 2024.

Was lovely meeting you yesterday at the Severn Valley Railway, great day had by all, the 'Hagley Hall' - 'Kidderminster Venturer' locomotive was truly impressive! 😁✨ Very interesting TV show you've uploaded here, love the voice and had to click on this one for its captivating thumbnail, always love a steam train! 😁👍 Wishing you all the best!

The good old days

Un vrai métier difficile mais il l aimait . Mon grand père en retraite me parlait souvent de ça divine pacific 231 il a fait de moi un passionné de locomotive a vapeur. Mon réseau ferroviaire n a que des locomotives à vapeurs ma préférence la pacific 231 qui été la plus belle et la plus prestigieux qui soit . Et ne fesait que des trains de prestige il m a dit qu' en 1947 pendant leurs tournées de Musical il avait laurel et Hardy qui étaient dans sont train et qu ils allaient ce produire au Lido. Du coût ma grand mère et mon grand père maternel ont été quelques jours après. Tout il me l ont raconté car en 1947 je n était mais que de belles histoires ils ont eux a me racontés.

Although first broadcast on 25th April 1962, the filming actually took place on 7th September 1961.

If more passengers are buying on line and e-tickets then ticket offices are less needed. Large stations like Birmingham New Street would never close. It’s far too busy. Smaller stations is what they focusing on.

Is this the only footage of the lnwr Claughton class

I notice that the Midland Spinner in this footage has a different livery here than how it is currently preserved. I couldn’t find much info on it or why it was converted from No. 118 to No. 673. My only guess is that the brief period it was re-steamed in the 80s might’ve played a role.

roses are red, violets are blue there's trains and trams in my playlist two there ya go, that somehow rhymed :))

I've seen all four of these locos in person and they're all beautiful. The Spinner and 158A are possibly my favourites Only shame is that the North London Railway 4-4-0T and other pre-grouping locos set aside in Crewe for preservation ended up being scrapped.

the T669 are not exactly ex Czech Railways, they were built new by CKD in 1978

I took a lot of these railway lines up working for a sheffield scrap company as a young boy in my first job after leaving school.. it was freezing most of the time i remember we had an old railway guards breaking carriage with a cast iron pot bellied stove we burnt hundreds of the old wooden chocks that were used to fix the railway line into the cast iron chairs in it .. we used to eat our meals there ..happy times .

Fantastic to see this, I’ve been fascinated by the railways of Bosnia and Hertzgovenia since I first saw Railway Roundabout.

This footage is invaluable. So much footage of extinct locomotives and preserved ones that may never run again.

Kakva željeznica takva država.. jad... ..

I went on holiday in 1957 or 8 with my grandmother to Lyme Regis. We travelled from Birmingham by rail, the last train was this.

I really enjoyed this,but unfortunately the final part showing Broom Junction only shows the one signal box and not the other one that still exists and can be seen as a ruin at the side of the Evesham By-pass (A46).It was a pre WW2 design that could be used as a defensive pill box in the event of invasion, it was so toughly built that it will last a good many years yet!

M50 Motorway? That terminated outside Ross - on - Wye.

Respect….

Beautiful sequence with music to match

This is a great promo film, really interesting and useful for understanding (the official, idealised, view of!) working practices. 😀👍

i herd aboat this crash at white head railway

Today Blackwell station is no longer here

a thought .... many people seem to like the 'pay as you go' (PAYG) system and the govt. might want to see this almost everywhere but with the smart cards linked in to our personal accounts at the CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) system that is expected to be introduced in 2024. The PAYG fares payment system is what has significantly reduced the need for many passengers (who do not have prepaid season tickets) to go to ticket offices at the start of each journey.

I recently went to an Elizabeth line ticket office as in the past I've had a bad experience with a 'collect from station ticket' (see below*) and whilst everything went well I later discovered that the National Rail website was offering cheaper fares! My visit to the ticket office was on a Friday and my travel was to be on a Sunday and apparently there is a type of return ticket called "Sunday Out Return" which I've never heard of before. Obviously both the person in the ticket office and the ticket sales machines used in ticket offices also did not know about these cheaper Sunday-only tickets. *The problem I had with the 'collect at station' ticket was that the self-service machine at the ticket office malfunctioned whilst printing an InterCity day return London - Manchester and only gave me a few of the paper tickets required for my journey. However it still told the ticket sales system that my tickets had been printed. In the end Virgin Trains resolved the situation in my favour but nevertheless this completely changed my views on using self-service ticket vending machines.

Very interesting film but I thought it was funny how the engineer stepped on the rail when getting on his engine. I was always told not to do that as it might be slippery and you could fall and hit your head on an adjacent rail.

Nice views of Belper as the train passed through the stone lined cutting and the station

Lovely stuff! 👍

P r o m o S M

3:18 I THINK this is the only known footage of a GER tram engine in any shape or form

Wasn't most of these clips released in Vintage Steam Scrapbook vol 1 by Alpha Distribution?

The tramyard in Dalkey used to have the tram yard cafe and restaurant the reason for its closure was it was raided by Gardaí and found to be selling alcohol without a licence so was closed.

Excellent, thank you! We live on the Kymin, which looked down on Troy Station and is in the background at 3:43. I would have been ten years old then...

The cost now well exceeds £1 billion?

Lovely coverage before diesel traction started on this line

thought it said Bhutan

thought it said blue

Such a tragedy

sooooooo basically, IT IS the inrercity APT-F from the 1980s, with exact same spec, complete with central power car, which WE the tax payer, paid millions to develop, which the gov then sold to FIAT, who in turn franchised the designs, and we`re now paying, to buy back, the train. WE designed, but our left wing snow flake gov, convinced us, it was rubbish and we are now buying back! at the cost of nearly £1 BILLION pounds? THIS IS INSANE!!!! the GOV should be held to account over this!

756 unit to be used on rhymney line 231 on ebbw vale and maesteg line to Cheltenham 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Wonderful, thanks 😊

My nana lives near the old atmospheric station in Dalkey. She’s even friends with the owner of the house.

Great music and a very nice film to with it. Rag-time is a good choice to go with this kind of period setting. Thanks.

they should electrify the caerdydd to abertawe line before they electrify the metro for fucks sake.

Great... when is it coming though 🤣🤣

Brilliant footage - a ride back in time!

Is that Class 231 Diesel only or Class 756 Tri-Mode Flirt.

Great video!
