I lived in Raynes pk from 1974 till summer 1990. Went to Hollymount primary for a year. then on to Bushey middle followed by a 3 year stint at Raynes pk high leaving in 1982. I live a long long way from the rail tracks of Raynes park now and thought I'd never miss them but I do. Listening to your song has made me want to make a return visit in the new year, Remember Les the boss eyed bar man at the rph? he barred me in to in 83!
I live in Raynes park now. good seeing this footgae. I was trying to put a date to when it must have been filmed. The only clue I had was the bus at 2m 44sec. Tomb Radier - so it must have been 2001. am i right? If that's the case it's changed alot in 8 years. The walkway betwen teh platforms didnt even have a roof back then!
Great stuff. born and bred in Raynes Park. The RPH was the first pub i ever got chucked out of. i was only tryingto play that new high tech video tennisgame and all !!! How comes the 93 bus went literally everywhere i SouthLondon/surrey.?
