Fascinating, thanks for sharing 👍

abs fantastic what an era

My Granddad, Uncle and Mum all worked on Southern railways, my Mum was telephonist on Brighton Station during the War.

Thank for this beautiful upload and thanks to all the cameramen who filmed all these beautiful films.

3:44 is the baltic tank referring to the lbscr l

The old days have gone forever

39:01 look at that global warming. 😂

This is a breath of fresh air in these violently political times of 2024.

39:36 Not "Kymer junction" but "Keemer junction".

36:11 Not "Horsted Keens", Horsted Kaynes.

34:24 Not "eight thousand and eleven" (8011) but eighty thousand and eleven (80011). 8011 might have been an LNER N7 0-6-2T, but not, surprisingly, a GWR locomotive.

20:59 not "Weaversfield" - "Wivelsfield", my home station for several commuting years.

Brings back memories. ¿Why was the WC haulage rating "7P5FA" rather than just "7P5F"?

I love the steam age on British Railways in the early 1920s-40s and 1950s-60s

What was the station name? 1:36

Very nice.

Wonderful footage and informative commentary

I remember this exact trip bus to St Albans station, train to St Pancras 8 car DMU, tube to Waterloo, WC and MN Pacifics still in use but 12 car 4 cor set to Portsmouth Harbour, paddle steamer to Ryde, steam hauled to Sandown.

No numbers or names

What a great film, thanks for sharing

N classes are my absolute favorite 😍. Lovely footage of them in their headay!

1:07 This Famous Train Station Waterloo In London In England In The United Kingdom First Opened In 1848 175 Years Ago From The London And South Western Railway And When The Southern Railway Took It Over On 1st January 1923 100 Years Ago Which Is Bigger Than Paddington Station Which Is The Home Of The Great Western Railway. Thanks Mate. X

Thanks algorithm!

It’s a shame these fine locomotives were left in neglected state. Not like in the company days Southern etc , British rail didn’t look after them. 👍🏻😎

Superb footage and narrative! Most grateful, thank you.

In watching these shots, one can only mourn the loss and lack of interest in any loco produced prior to BR nationalisation…oh yes there is a small reference to some Castles and Bulleid’s de-streaks but it amounts to the same old boring stuff…

I literally watch this all the time! I have a dvd case and disc of this! Honestly it’s just amazing! My mom brought me this because I loved trains so much! Even the music at the beginning and ending is awesome! I love this so much! 😊

Excellent and informative and nostalgic, thankyou for this

Excellent video, thank you!

No computers, no smart phones, no satellites orbiting the Earth to make the technology work. No worries about Global Warming, no worries about Climate Change. No nuclear weapons at least up to 1945. By no means a perfect country, yet I love these old videos that show us a Britain that is no longer.

Just so greatful for this valuable footage

As somebody who was born and raised in Horsted Keynes, may I respectfully point out that Keynes is pronounced "Kanes"? A most enjoyable film, thank you. 😊

I didn’t realize this wasn’t official Auld Lang Syne, amazing!

Wow. Interesting.

What an interesting and well narrated production. Quite charming

I can't believe you ended a Maude episode with something George Formby... Has Maude let you forget it?

Poor video

Oh man this DVD was my childhood. This and like a million other train docs

Interesting contrast/coexistence between 1960s office architecture, a 1940s train, and a 19th century station with 1930s additions at 11:41 !

My grandmother when I was about 6 used to take me to Beverly park in New Malden to watch the Merchant navy and Battle of Britain class locomotives steam past.............. happy days

I have just begun modelling 1930s Southern. This is like a goldmine to me! I had no idea that Pullman cars were found in the rakes. I have a couple of those so I will make sure they feature!! Thanks for this unbelievabley rare and insightful content!

Wheres bread box then

I was born in a cottage on the B3012 Guildford Road in Frimley Green in 194*, 50 yards from the bridge at the end of the Deepcut Cutting -with Basingstoke Canal next to the line. Watched in awe as a tiny child and never forgot the smell, loved standing on that bridge when the trains roared under. A well curated video - thank you. However, why did you bugger up the Kinks most beautiful song?

Nice episode! 5 stars!

Or else.

Better finish off Britain.

Someday...

Like the narrator says amazing how long those class 47s have been around for!

Living in Penge S E London, we often used to watch the Golden Arrow in the 1950's whizz through......Seeing it pass behind the the old Grammar School, and just about to pass through Kent House Stn'

Probably one of the best films I've seen.thank you
