Interesting video. I remember Lowestoft Central from the 1950/early 60s and was appalled a couple of years ago when on a visit to the town to discover that some vandal had taken the roof off what was once a nice historic old building. Back in the day the old station was a hive of industry, during the summer it would be exceptionally busy with hundreds of holidaymakers arriving and departing.
Thanks. Yes as you say, a shame that the semiphore signals (and I guess the signal box at some point) are no longer. You may find this video of some interest too. It was the last time that I saw Lowestoft station as it was. th-cam.com/video/-XPNSXGMK_k/w-d-xo.html

Really good piece of filming.
Thanks Tony.
I live here
I would have thought that these short sets use a greater value in fuel than they generate from passengers !
Good stuff!
Thanks. First try of a new 4k camcorder
