My school playing fields backed on to the line to Welshpool. Every afternoon the Cambrian Coast Express went passed pulled a gleaming Manor. Travelled many times to the coast behind steam. Lovely memories.
Best video record from that period. Thanks🙏 Shows how fast Cambrian system firemen could catch tablets! Up to 40mph I was assured. And it all belonged to US🙂
what a fantastic film, it brought back happy memories as we used to go to Talybont for years on holiday in the early 60's going from Snow Hill on the Cambrian coast express, reverse at Shrewsbury loco change then train split at Dovey Jnc front part to Aberystwyth then rear part to Pwllheli with another loco from their, even had a shot of Talybont which I recognised pulling in from the trees at the station
Brilliant cine film of the steam/ diesel transition, plus so much signalling that BR 'pruned' shortly after. IIRC the Cambrian (along with all ex-GWR lines north of Banbury and Worcester) was transferred to LM Region management only the previous year (1963). A great record of car and tent styles of the era too!
Lovely video I really enjoyed it thanks for sharing. Memories flood back when watching these like being able to buy a platform ticket, remember them? It seemed that there was always a bunch of boys on the platform equipped with a notebook and pencil busily recording locomotive numbers, you don't see this (much) nowadays, a harmless and absorbing hobby.

One of the most amazing things is how many of the locos featured have actually survived, thanks to Barry scrapyard.
A precious record of these wonderful lines in steam days, thank you so much. And even better, no music or dubbed ill fitting sound!

Wish I could travel back to those times. Just hate the way the UK is going these days 😔

Brilliant video. My grandfather was a driver on this line in the 50s and 60s and is more than likely in there somewhere. Thank you for sharing 👍
Thanks for sharing brilliant video? I would go back tomorrow too those days 😂🙂 in a heartbeat 😂💓 no probs
