    Wow! great to see film of Ditton Junction, Speke shed and Bank Quay. Never seen footage from there before, my old stamping grounds. Use to spend all day on Ditton station. My brother's mate was a fireman at Speke and used to take me around on Sundays when it was quiet and I spent time on the footplate, magic memories

    Pemberton station in 1966, wow, I lived quite near to it. I would have been 7 years old🙂

    I was born 1961 and just remember steal locomotives passing our back garden on the Liverpool to Southport line. Wandered alongside the Lakeside mini railway in Southport today as it happens.

    In the 1950-'s I lived almost next to Old Roan station. The morning (9:00 am) train from Exchange to Glasgow was routinely double headed, often by a Black Five and a Clan class BR standard. Always remember hearing those chime whistles... The evening train back to Exchange, was usually headed by a Scot or a "Jub". HLI (Highland Light Infantry) was a regular. Happy days!

      I think you mean Beeching. But, he only closed uneconomic lines and duplicate lines in a very ordered manner. Unfortunately lines with 5 passengers a day, when the railways were losing 100 million a year, can't be kept open just for the titillation of a few railway enthusiasts.

      It's pronounced Phonetically /locally :Burrs Co easy as that. Also in another video the same guy murdered the Chequerbent incline branch near Farnworth /Walkden , that locally was said simply "Chew bent" 😉

      @@texbankuk These videos are probably produced by people living far away from Lancashire and haven't a clue how places are pronounced. I live near Glasgow. I'd love to hear what they make of Milngavie.
