Much as I love then and now it`s always so sad.
What a lovely video. If only we could hire a time machine to revisit these places as they were.
If only.
Superb video, so sad to see a once excellent railway replaced by roads and bloody houses.
The older you are the sadder the emotions….those days hold many holiday memories for the elderly, especially train lovers.
I was born well after it all closed. But its probably better for the good that it lives on in its current form. If it were still around today, it would have tin shelters and graffiti everywhere.
The image of the T9, 120 taken in 1963 @ 5:55, shows my ol mate Roy Wilce taking a pic. He was a Wadebridge engineman & taught us on the ol Bodmin & Wenford how to use the vac brake to avoid spilling the tea!! Lovely man with a heart of gold & a good engineman, like so many others now sadly passed on.
Thank you for this portfolio. 🙂
Incidentally, Roy was the one who lined up all the Beatties on shed for R C Riley’s image which includes Mr Brown, the shed master.
Always frightening to see such then and now comparisons. Formerly lively railway operations and now bushes and residential areas grow above. Thank you for creating this video
My pleasure
I often walk from bodmin to Padstow I was only 3yrs old when DR becham closed the line nice to see how it was than I've often wondered a big thankyou to you
Just criminal how good would it be now
Thank you 😊 so sad to see it all has Disappeared all those jobs and livelihoods Now just part of history. No thought of the future this is why we have so much traffic on our on our roads. A typical government decision.
My pleasure
Outstanding 👍
13:36 I’m glad that tresmeer station is still here but sadly it’s now private residence which means it’s not accessible
So very sad to see what North Cornwall had and stolen from the area by Beeching.
Criminal what went on.
Wonderfully nostalgic, but sadly we must move on as the current generation takes over.
Oh, how poor Cornwall has changed!
Back in 2000-1 I lived in Berrycoombe Vale almost atop the old line which ran parallel at the foot of the hill, further up was an ancient road bridge crossing the old trackbed before it opened up into what is now a supermarket on one side and the gaol on the other in what was the quite a size yard. Sadly, the locals didn't take too well to a very broad south London ducking and diving sort of chap in their midst and made no friends, crazy really as most the locals were 2nd generation south and east Londoners themselves but were very standoffish bunch, think the only chap who did talk to me was the bloke who invented the dim-dip beams for the car who would have a chat in Somerfields cafe.
The Gunnislake images are a bit misleading, as the old and new stations are in total different places.
The carpark is over the new station. Whilst it is not always ideal, I occasionally sacrifice finding the precise location, which could be in a hedge, in exchange for the current station.
Is there a "nod" to Pink Floyd in the music...?
So sad , civic vandalism, we need them all now but to late due to short-sightedness 😢
