Travel back in time to an age of first generation DMUs and diesel locomotives. Cornish Branches was filmed in BR days and features all four passenger branch lines and one freight.
This is the 1st generation DMU - Diesel ⛽️ Multiple Unit train 🚊 is running 🏃♂️ from Liskeard to Looe. Coombe railway 🚃 station 🚉 is a halt station 🚉 has 1 single railway 🚃 track because its a local branch line on the Looe Valley Line. The bubble 🫧 car trains 🚊 has ran on these lines to Gunnislake, Looe, Newquay, Falmouth and finally St Ives in Cornwall. The 1st generation DMU trains 🚊 aren’t with us on these lines part of BR - British Rail anymore. 👍👍
Must say, Anton Rogers was an inspired choice as narrator. Does anyone know if he narrated on other DVD's? Best ever though is the brilliant Mike Arlett, who narrates on many of the S & D and South West vids!
Cracking, I used to live less than a stone's throw from the Liskeard-Looe line, about a mile from St Keyne Halt back in the 70s when a single DMU carriage worked the line in winter, a double in summer
It's strange seeing none of those buffer barriers at the end of the lines, with nothing but the brakes between the end of the track and rolling off the end if the brakes failed.
DX Newington at Liskehard you have a sand drag between the lights and the buffers. At Looe there were buffers. At the reversal there are no buffers as the line went on to a china clay pit.
& I thought they only drank scrumpy. I can understand the mistrust of strangers though,so many outsiders having snapped up so many holiday cottages. Surely some employment with the surf biz at NQ?
This video must have been made on a very strict budget. Not likely to find favour by today's enthusiasts. A modern detailed version would be more than welcome!
We don't really understand your comment. What you are viewing is a trailer, not the whole film. Therefore you would not expect to see the whole film. If you want to see the whole film it is available at video125.com either to download or on DVD. I hope that answers your question?
I’ve got that on dvd and anton Rodgers will be sadly missed
Rest in peace anton Rodgers 1933-2007
Such a shame we lost the Bridport branch line,,,
Yes - all these branches are active and well used today, thankfully.

rip Anton rogers who has died in 2007
I well remember Anton appearing as No. 2 in the Schizoid Man episode of The Prisoner, made in 1967.
A superb performance!

2020 are any of these still running ?
Only on preserved lines. Have a look at the CHILTERN BUBBLE CARS on our website. This shows the very last two in service in the last couple of years.

It never was a big market, though we have moved on light years now by comparison.
