very poor film

❤❤❤

When we had King Frederik IX

Great footage! But it looks as though you added the awful dust particles artificially! If you did not, they can be removed in Adobe Premiere or DaVinci Resolve (for example).

Looks no different from the 70s and 80s Southend i remember.

I actually find this heartbreaking 🥺. Not only the Isle of Sheppey. Everywhere. What have they done to us? I am still young enough, but old enough to remember the Rio when it still stood. To replace it with those flats was absolutely criminal. This is what happens when the people don't own their towns and lives. They let councils, corporations, the establishment, etc. All dictate to how we live and what we can and can't all have! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Beautiful times when design had a character, not just functionality.

All of us Londoners families...bank holiday piling on the train ......getting off ...sooo many of us would cross the bridge towards the beach.....bank holidays really unite the English

The tram-tracks are gone from passing the Frihedstotten; they were removed after linie 16's closure in April 1970. But linie 5 trams are still running, so the film dates from between summer 1970 and linie 5's closure in April 1972.

What year did this close down? And what year was it all removed? Does anyone know?

The 'Deltic + 8' trains, which ran between 1979 and 1982 on Kings Cross-York services at 100mph between HSTs at 125mph, are well-depicted in these film clips. Where it is possible to count the coaches, the trains seem to have been 9 vehicles, with a Mk 1 parcels coach marshalled at one end. How were those intermediate services provided after 1982? NR was only permitted by the Department of Transport to order 4 more HSTs in 1981 to bring the ECML fleet up to 36.

Amazing footage. I am amazed at how much the island has changed, and much of it sadly, not for the better. But yet how recognisable and much the same it is all at the same time 😂. These archives are so valuable now and great to watch. I am still young, and this was way before I was even born, but amazed to see how it was. I grew up on the island all my childhood and teenage years since the late 90's. But I have been on and off the island since I was born. Thanks 😊.

all the Airways addvertising killing the railways . I was there .

Lived on the island all my life. Nice to see it from when I was a kid to now. No millenium way no massive tescos. A decent high street where people got all their shopping. Open spaces not all built on. When it was a proper town

Deltic service on the Newcastle to Liverpool line was very interesting as I think it had more curvature and altering of power settings, a great source of excitement for the Liverpool enthusiasts!!!!!!!!

Travellers Fare soaking wet cheese and tomato sandwiches aside, the onboard dining on the Inter City brand was actually very good, even the buffet cars had proper crockery etc, the stewards all had a pedigree of hotel and ship service as well, they were proffessionals, to see them manoeuvre down the aisle of the dining car with those steel coffee and tea pots with the train on the move pouring into diners cups, they were really up to the job!!

EVERY REGIMENTAL CREST WAS STOLEN

There used to be a big carnival

On that hill there was a man that makes glass earrings I had swans poodles and birds never seen anyone else do that I was about 16 at the time now 75

I was born 1979 there and grew up on the isle of sheppey, looked so beautiful and clean and appreciated in the older pictures compared to now.

Ein sehr schönes Video 🙏🫶👼

definitely a fabulous record

13.48 I wonder if he still has that tape ? I've loads of stuff off the radio but never thought to record the Deltics...

The arrival into the Cross of 55022 famously made the ITV news at ten that night too. There's a TH-cam video of this elsewhere.

Shore does look better in the snow 😂🐑

Don’t have to worry about floods E A got it sorted 😂😂

🐑🐑🐑🐑🐏

A really great record of happier times. Thanks very much for posting.

Das ist wohl mit der schönste Film für mich. Teils aus meiner Stadt Dresden. So so wunderbar. Dankeschön ❤

Hi, Im Polish, I have lilived there for 10 years(2005-2015) . loved that plae,, but could see it was much better place before. I am not in UK anymore but I still wish you all the best english people. Fight to get yours and your grandperents memories back. You can do it. Just belive it and fight. Poland had so many difficulties in its history but raised up. You have to belive and fight. We all have. Good luck.

Wow - that was great. As a boy I used to live 3 short train stops away from Southend (Hockley) and my family visited regularly in the Summer. 1968 was my last Summer (I'd have been seven years old) and there are a couple of things here which I remember specifically - especially the two birds fighting over the worm in the illuminations - funny the things that grab your imagination when you are young.

Excellent

Superb!!

Gold KX footage there. 👏👏👏

2nd January I remember like it was yesterday. Filmed 55015 leave Kings Cross, went to Finsbury Park to see 55008,55013, and 55017 getting soaked in the process. Then back to Kings Cross in the evening to see 55022 return.

( ͡⚆ ͜ʖ ͡⚆). Hi there, dear friend! That was fantastic! 💯💯💯☀💜 I really loved it! I enjoyed watching your video today. Thanks for sharing it with us🤩🤩🤩🤩. Wishing you a lovely day, my friend! ◕‿◕

Fantastic video, was looking out for one of my colleagues, he would have been a very young second man during these times at the cross. He has done 45 years so far and has just learnt the 800s 😂

Amazing footage - thanks for sharing

And now in 2024 history is repeating itself with the 91s relegated to York and Leeds runs

Just......brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. And so evocative. Thank you for posting this.

Fine scenes! From 9:20 it is Oslo. Then I don't know about the brewery, the last scenes are from Tivoli in Copenhagen.

brilliant ,thanks

Omg so many memories 😢……arnt they just wonderful

The greatest loco to ever grace BR metals. Im glad to have driven 55022 in anger myself back in 98/99 ❤

Beautiful British locomotive the Deltic .

These were the days I loved and enjoyed the variety of traction. Now it's just boring cheap Jap rubbish.

Excellent!!!!! Camera work brilliant, commentary fitting for the subject, brought back so many memories. Many thanks for posting.

Nothing will ever be as great as a Deltic! Fabulous film.

A truly brilliant film. That lad featured would be well in his fifties now!

This is a great video. What a time capsule.
