    Forgive me for asking what may be a silly question, but where is the power coming from to run the railbus? I did not see a smoke stack or exhaust stack for an engine and there is no third rail on the track nor wires overhead. Bear in mind I live in the USA where we foolishly swore off our excellent rail systems for freeways before I was a child. So I know very little of such things as a "railbus."

    • @johndann3981

      The engine is a B.U.T. AEC 220AJ 150 h.p. six-cylinder horizontal diesel engine. It sits within the chassis frame, the exhaust I believe is vented underneath as well, there are some pictures and description on the web doing a search on AC Railbus

    I used to live in Bristol in the 1950’s not far from Montpelier Station and regularly used to travel to Severn Beach. It was the place to go then! Quite shocked to see the state of the railway track on this video. So much rubbish and junk everywhere. The tracked used to be immaculate back in the 50’s / 60’s. Network Rail ought to be disgusted with theirselves. There is no care or interest in the Railways, all as a result of lack of Government interest. Let’s run things into the ground and screw as much money out of people as possible. All stems from Margaret Thatcher’s lack interest in the railways, she hated them.

      don't think it was ever double tracked from St Andrews Road to Severn Beach. They could easily double track all way to Avonmouth and that would be more than enough to increase capacity to 15-20 min services. Would need some money thrown at it - bridge at Sea Mills for example would need lot of work.

      In the late 80's early 90's a tunnel/conveyor system was installed under the river Avon to link Portbury docks to the rail sidings in Avonmouth which allowed the importation of coal by bulk carrier and then carried by rail to Didcot power station. The railway line from Avonmouth to Filton Triangle was doubled necessitating an additional bridge across the M5 being installed. this is the foundation for the current Metro West plans. The Portbury branch was reopened in the mid 90's giving direct rail access to Royal Portbury Docks.
