London to Brighton in 4 Minutes - New Version!

[angeltransportpjects]

For some reason what sticks in many peoples' minds is the theme music from the 1980s version when asked. Remember this like yesterday being 10 when it showed on BBC2!

how can a train like this go THAT FAST?

[994206]

The same paint has lasted well at the stations.

[stuartthegrant]

Very well done, how little changes in 30 years.

Thanks, one for the album I would say..

[supergav67]

Would love the BBC to do it again in 2013.I can see BBC 4 giving it a try for one of their theme nights..how about a cinema version in 3D.Keep that music in.

[pistak09]

@supergav67 Other than 3D how about in HD too. The next London to Brighton after 2013 if BBC decides to do it would be in 2043 then 2073 then 2103. I'd love to see the 1953 version getting compaired to the 2103 version but I'd be 110.

Note the amount of local stations closed in the 1983 film. That bloody railway act in the 1960's that closed loads of tracks down STILL has an adverse effect on our crap british railway even today.

[GeneralQurumov]

iv looked carfully and if you look at 32 seconds you see the 1593 version jump forwards

[davidsan01]

@GeneralQurumov aye about 360 years!!!!

[Durbs75]

Seems that very little has changed en route. Though people were better dressed in 1953.

Bring on the HD version!

[kaiyan246]

great but song please?

[Mekonta]

@kaiyan246 - not sure of the actual piece but it does sound very much like something the BBC Radiophonic Workshop would come up with. Perhaps Peter Howell or Paddy Kingsland?

[mikesndbs]

What stands out for me is that if a driver of today was suddenly transported back in time to 1953, he would not be lost at all! yes some changes but most of it looks the same :-)

[bazcol1963]

The Brighton Belle was a fantastic way to travel. I saw the 1953 film first time round and it still looks as good as it did back then, people can say what they like about both films, but as an Englishman these films are part of my countries history, and thank God that the BBC has kept them. MetroLand is another great film same sort of thing but on the Underground.

[kaiyan246]

i think you've gone too far in 1953 and 1983 blown it all

[madaboutrains]

it show how many bridges there are on that route

[hitxdigital]

I fucking hate the music with a passion!!!

[teddystorm1]

THAT IS 999999999999999999999 MILS PER HOUR

[charade97]

Allowing for discrepancies that was superb editing!!

[LUXFactorBroadcast1]

A fabulous historic archive. And now it's time to campaign for the 16:9 HD 3D version I think...

[BeTheDeathOfMe]

Hmm. The train times are still more or less the same now.

You can see them going past at about the same time.

[bules72]

Brilliant. Well done and thanks.

[LJJ23ARSRUL]

how did you do that .. look at al lthe tree grow !!

[leobaby]

Everything is so much greener!

[DarthJeff77]

Going at THAT speed would KILL you!

[CHUPAMEDIA41]

Well done!!! this is an amazing video..very smart. It's funny how through time some things remain unchanged.

[Cabride]

Top Video!!!!!

[Sids60sSounds]

Brilliant. If you like all this side-by-side then and now stuff - check out U2B clip -

"6699" BlowUp Remake

[jsl151850b]

Was the 1953 version used in "Supercar"?

(The episode with the atomic powered train.)

The 2013 version should include exterior views of the train.

With Dr. Who at the throttle.

[JimTLonW6]

Very interesting view; seems an incredible thing to do to synchronise it like that. I do have the original on disc; there was some firm that was selling it. I remember that in the fifties when it came on the telly it was sensational!

[b0grillaz]

at 3:25 how haunted do you think that tunnel is?

[deltic1964]

Eye catching good video

[SilsdenCougar]

Good video. Wierd trying to watch both at same time.

[Littleswamp1]

Is it me or does the viaduct at approx 3 mins look to have changed angle slightly over the years!

[Gohuk]

Think it's an optical illusion: the camera in 1953 was mounted right-centre and points slightly left whereas the camera in 1983 was mounted dead centre and points straight ahead.

[pelforthpelforth]

Saw the original at the Radio Show 1953;

absolutely fascinating then...and now!

Thx so much for sharing!

[OurChildhoodsEnd]

Remember Supertramp using the 1953 version in concert.

"Rudy's on a train to nowhere..."

[007sladegreen]

This is very good it must have taken ages to sync it.

[drpaulsmith]

OUTSTANDING!!! I remember watching this for real in 1983 and was blown away by it! Thanks to youtube - I've finally been able to see it again and it's just as good. I agree with Ben31337I, a new version in 2013 would be great!

[jammiebeasts]

Thats superb that is.

[Ben31337l]

Now that was a cool ride.

I wonder if the BBC could do another two in 2013.

One with 1953 and 2013. And one with 1983 and 2013.

Love the music.

I've got a challenge. Spot out all of the differences with the reason and at what point of the vedio the changes happen.

[Ben31337l]

I have no idea. and I don't think that Cashpotty knows ether.

[Cool2BCeltic]

@Ben31337l Sounds like a good idea. 1983 may have seemed very different from 1953 but one thing that shows how different the 21st Century is from 1983 is that an ordinary everyday citizen with a digital camera and a PC plus permission to ride in the cab of a London to Brighton train could make their own version of this film.

[Ben31337l]

@Cool2BCeltic Yeah, I would LOVE it if someone made another one.

I can't believe I didn't get E-mails from all of the replies to this post.

[pressforaction]

Nicely done. Virtually perfect sync all the way through. Thanks!
