Originally broadcast 27 March 1963 Strangely weird listening to some of those station names , which are now back in action. Read more here - blog.nat...
1954 March ice and snow
มุมมอง 1214 วันที่ผ่านมา
In the days before the word "Snowmageddon" had been coined, here's how Newsreel reported on March snow and frost in 1954. Incidentally, did you know that in the UK, it’s more likely to snow at Easter than at Christmas?

When I hear my bleep-bleep, I get out the siren, run up to the green and crank the handle." The next time somebody tells you Britain is ill-prepared for a nuclear attack, show them this clip from Nationwide. Originally broadcast on 30 March 1978.
1994 The future of football
มุมมอง 614 วันที่ผ่านมา
Standing Room Only imagines how football might look in the year 2004. Can you imagine a world where subscription TV money controls the game completely? Where clubs turn their backs on loyal, working-class supporters to court a new breed of affluent, fickle consumer-fans? Where a European Super League is formed to allow elite clubs like Newcastle United and Barcelona to show pay-per-view matches...

Beeching report - Some of the many stations to close
I feel its pain and im the same every morning I struggle to fire into life😂 What a wonderful sight to see one of these old locos still alive and a testement to British engineering👍
I bet you could cook breakfast on that starter
16 cylinders. They aren’t sure witch one wants to be first ha ha
lol 👍
Absolutely awesome , Class 37 s scared me as a child, now they amaze me . Even Greta Thurnberg would love them , especially a cold start
Fcking bunch of old farts pretending to be important, absolutely hilarious.
+100000000 aura
RIP Fred!
Four main faults on the 37, Oh Fuck Wully Baxter, translated to oil, fuel, water, blower motors!
Correct 👍
I think I can I think I can lol
Good old Mossend, drove into it many times from Motherwell TMD to pick up wagons. Class 37 is still my all time favourite locomotive, cab heaters were shite though!
long coat needed in winter to keep the legs warm 🥶
Fred Dibnah had bollocks the size of Bolton……There won’t be another one sadly…..
The guy laughing sounds like the laughing man from Blackpool pleasure Beach!😂
😱
Keystone Cops!!!!
Very much so 😂
I remember Eddie Lejeune used to win these a lot.
It looks like the Hammer and cairn are on a hill called Black Preston,is it meant to be a secret,i doubt if that was the purpose.
No it’s just not a popular visitor location , so off the beaten track and easily found 👍
I wonder if the lad has got any kids?
Maybe 🤷♂️
Before mobile phones were invented..proper fun👌
Absolutely 👍
It's more like Benny Hill without the chicks than kick-start 😂
Ha yeah 👍
My dad was on an episode of this
As a rider I guess 👍
Our brave volunteer services - come on Putin , our boys from yesteryear led the way.
lol
Still sound advice today!
Yes I agree 👍
Nice
Thanks 👍
Which shot was taken with the israeli camera?
Neat
Good day mate 😂
I am also here before the fame
👍
Here before this went viral
What makes the loud clonk sound that starts around 1:53?
Multiple cylinders deciding to wake up and start firing, causes a weird firing order and sends vibration through the gear train and so on and just clunks around.
Great sound, but, u wouldn't be able to effect a quik getaway from a bank robbery. The bobbies would be on u lickety split :-)
Certainly not. 😂😂
I love how they smoke a ciggie first before even thinking about starting 😂❤
It was just chillin 😂
that doesn't look like a touch and go, more like a go around
Yeah they nearly touched , more a training flight lol
Have a great holiday. Never seen a take off from Liverpool before, great views.
Thanks this was last month lol and we did 👍
What must be the strain on starter motors and batteries to keep cranking
Built to last 💪
cool video!!
Thanks
Not hard to see why the Class 37 is is the greatest little loco that could... My all time favourite...They are beautiful, can go 'anywhere' with a great RA and still in service after many many years. We shall never see the like of these again.
That sound in the beginning could be in a horror movie! 😂😂😂😂😂
👻👍
Good clean energy.
Absolutely 👍
What type batteries?
Just found this, brilliant, thanks for sharing. Not all that dissimilar to my upbringing in mid Wales.
Thanks 👍
Awesome👌🏻
Thanks
I think that the cylinder bores are rather worn therefore the PSI at TDC is below spec causing sluggish starting and white smoke, the exhaust smoke is ladened with unburnt fuel so it probably would be best to avoid smoking a cigarette with all that white smoke in the air.
luckily I don’t smoke then 👍
How can a three minute clip of film be so sad to watch, yet be so uplifting,, like opening a time capsule if you will.
Thanks for watching
As a 74 year old who can remember the steam train, these kinds of video are sad in a good way. Sad that a way of life is lost forever, good to see some still care about what we lost. Long may they continue.
Yes it’s my way of keeping the line alive , looking back at old photos and videos 👍
Yet another grassy knoll station
Sadly yes
Why was this place abandoned? In the old pics there were houses
It seems that once the railways left so did the community, there is a few houses still lived in today but not the numbers like before.
A true legend of his sport and generation made of strong stuff
Yes one of a kind 👍
From the Cross, which track takes you to the hammer please?
Head north out of Bewcastle up the hill ,then turn right onto the bridleway at Crossgreens. Follow this up towards Black Preston and you will find it 👍
@@Xpl0r will give it a go soon. Thanks
So sad that he has just passed away... t
a true Cumberland gent
With a very heavy workload preserving and restoring old trains, and medicine I take for nerve and joint pain, I keep coming back to this video as a visual of what getting up in the mornings is like. Especially on three or four hours of sleep a night for weeks on end. At least people have what the locomotives don't: Coffee.
Why the diesel is not preheated? Smokes more than a steam loco and causes poisonous gases.
