Breaks my heart to see the grotesque way this country has evolved. I lived through theses wonderful times and revel in the fact they will never leave my memory.
My parents didn't own a car in the 50's so we often went to the coast by coach for the day or a two week holiday. It was cheaper than by train.

Marvellous film. My parents never owned a car so we went everywhere by bus, coach or rail until we were old enough to drive. I had a Lambretta scooter first and later on upgraded to a Vauxhall Viva car. Travelling by coach was something I always looked forward to. I love the accent of the lady that was speaking at 13:27. Does anyone know what accent that is?
I could ditto that. I wondered where England had gone to? The bus with a Dulux advert. All those brands that were built on a history (reputation) of making good products. I tried to buy a black wool overcoat recently. There are so few gents outfitters now and department stores are likewise. It just makes me nostalgic for those simpler times an earlier poster remarked on. P. S. I'm now an "awld git" the same as the tweed-wearing, ex-corporal, Capt. Mannering look-a-likes who used to admonish one while walking to their allotments. 👍

@TeddyBear-ii4yc Gent clothes shop?. I think they are completely extinct. Haven't seen one in years.
This Great Britain lost now never to return , the slow demise of my country for all the reasons you all know and there are many , makes me really sad .we as a once great nation have been slowly dying decade by decade since this film was made and I worry for my childrens future in terms of quality of life that we all enjoyed once upon a time .
Yes indeed....If ONLY YOU had raised your children and grandchildren better...the UK perhaps wouldn't be such a mess that it looks today and the white trash I see lounging around council estates wouldn't be so awful. If you want to find why England has sunk so low...look in the mirror. 1-8-2024: update: just saw an example of "Fine Upstanding White English men"....throwing a riot and attacking grieving families and police officers in Southport, after three very young children were stabbed to death by a deranged man: a sick act and an even worse response from fine upstanding English Scum. Yes....your olde England has gone....you threw it away.
100% agree. I left in 2010 because the life contained in this wonderful film has gone forever. These people have mostly passed on, but they would be appalled by what has become of our once great nation.
Living in North Wales I used Crosville services a lot I well remember in 1959 the bus conductor giving me a small roll of Tickets on the bus which I still have Happy days which unfortunately have long gone forever
Wow🎉 Bournemouth bus and coach station!! My god , there’s even the prototype Bristol RE coach at 17.39. What a film , filled with MWs , and then some Lodekkas of Crosville and Hanta and Dorset.
wish i could go back, methinks England is done now. The older ones remind me of all my long lost relatives of yore, Those times will never return - mores the pity, Music reminds me of the film Genevieve. Think it may well be. The great Larry Adler.
If you get away from the large towns and cities England looks the same if not better than it did then. I was in deepest Wales yesterday and it could have been 1940 and some areas you don't see cars for 30 mins.
We have self destructed our wonderful heritage ,,, we have only ourselves to blame ,,, interestingly the Arab countries have made sure they have not lost theirs ,,, how naive we have been 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
This must have been 1962 at the earliest as there's a couple of Mk 3 Ford Zephyrs shown, a white one at the seaside, the coach pulls up behind it and a black one near the end going left to right across the screen. The coaches I remember as a kid took us from our school to the swimming baths in the town centre, they were 1962 Leyland's with Plaxton Panorama bodywork. Thanks for the upload, good job some coaches had fresh air vents with folks smoking pipes.😬
The most comfortable seats ever offered on public transport - were those fitted to the Bristol/ECW coaches shown at the beginning of this wonderful film.
We can list the reasons why we have not got a country like this anymore, but the fact that GB has been spoiled beyond repair is both undeniable and unforgiveable. We have been goverened very badly.
Thank you for the trip down Memory Lane. My Grandmother took me and my two brothers on a Pullmans' coach trip (booked at Bootham Bar Offices in York) to Fountains Abbey. As a little boy I remember it was f*cking boring!!!!
The Crosville coach trip to Rhyl appears to have started at the former Crosville depot on Liverpool Edge Lane, while the ramblers trip is shown starting from the old Mann Island at Liverpool Pier Head.
It's so painfully heart breaking to watch these old films , our great nation disappearing year by year . Simple way of Christian life destroyed and replaced by fanatics 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Ah “…the British way of life…” referred to in the film by one chap in clipped tone. He would be turning in his grave to be informed that life is no longer permitted by the woke hysterics.
I well remember the bbc trade test transmissions, but not this one, this looks to me from the vehicles and their number plates to have been made in the very early 1960's, rather than 1970's. Anyone enjoying this should search out the BTF "cyclists special" an absolute gem shot around Rugby.

Wonderful days, I’m 83 now, god help my granddaughter in the future!
They won't know any different unless they watch a video like this, then they probably won't believe how it was.
Marvellous! Thank-you!
Even footage of Crosville's FLF Coaches: the peak of perfection.
Then came May, then October, 1979 . . .
Thanks again jane..wish we could go back..pure and simple
Yes, that's how I feel too. x

I agree. The worst thing, is that it’s been done deliberately and is happening to every western nation.

Looks like they were filmed in the early 60's, if we could only turn back time to these beautiful times in Great Britain!
The film is dated 1965 but it may have been filmed in 1964.

Thank you. What a great and enthusiastic comment, much appreciated. These films are indeed so informative and also rather nostalgic. xx
Well spotted.
Great video of better times. Simple and English.
A brief moment of pride.
It wasn't that brief, it lasted about 30 years. 1950 to 1980 I'd say.
I smiled all thru that. It was shown on Talking Pictures tonight. I loved the look at how the English used to live and remember bits of it. 👍
Lovely bit of nostalgia, thank god for TH-cam because you don't see this sort of thing on today's dumbed down TV .
Lovely times with out I phones and fast cars “ very relaxing , 👍
Perhaps the most charming advertisement ever made? Surely a nicer world :)
They knew how to do it then Mick. An indirect and more subtle approach appealiing to the heart. Thank you, and I do agree a nicer world indeed.
Charming. Delightful.
When the British were 'smart' - in both senses of the word!

Charming video. The British way of life ...... we won't see that again. Shame.
Oh what joy and adventures, thank you for sharing this
I’ve just found you I’m glad I did greetings from Scotland 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Great social history film. Lots of Bristol MW type coaches too 😊
Ah the beret! The precursor to the baseball cap!
I loved the dress of the rambling club members!

I think she's probably Welsh - but I'm not sure whereabouts.
Thank you Jayne for this beautiful nostalgic trip back in time, especially some of the snippets of Bournemouth where I grew up.
Reminds me of the yearly trips from a 1950's grey and dirty Stockport to the almost unbelievable delights of Southport.
The sea still didn't come in in Southport, even in the 1950s.
I like the way the lady in Oxford demurely plays the harpsichord whilst sitting sidesaddle on the stool.
I think the conductor at the outside "rehearsal" might be Sandor Vegh. How fascinating!
In fact, Karl Haas I see from the credits; equally distinguished. Wonderful upload!
Tommy Trinder judging the beauty competition in Rhyl
A good film
We can list the reasons why we have not got a country like this anymore, but the fact that GB has been spoiled beyond repair is both undeniable and unforgiveable. We have been goverened very badly.
And we voted for those governments.
Right I'm convinced. I'm going to book a coach day trip... oh wait a minute...
They can still be found but they aren't as numerous. You might have to search one out.
Thank you for the trip down Memory Lane.
My Grandmother took me and my two brothers on a Pullmans' coach trip (booked at Bootham Bar Offices in York) to Fountains Abbey.
As a little boy I remember it was f*cking boring!!!!
Wonderful Channel Jayne! Thank you!!
How bloody civilised. Wonderful stuff. And not a horrible Muslim anywhere in sight.
All them comments down along 100% true don't live there now don't want to

And a collection for the driver.
That was my least favourite part of any coach trip.
