Oh Dr.Beaching what have you done, there use to be many trains, now there are none. Steam beats HST any day. And you cant get those prices now and the trains are never on time any more!
This was filmed in Bodmin, Cornwall. I lived there for a few years until 2001 and I think was the towns only claim to fame. The bridge is now a listing building. I am a sad git because I know that !
i know steam trains are lovely, but wouldn't you prefer a faster, modern, cleaner, safer and cheaper transport?

It all went wrong with the APT - and then branson got it back after the italians sold us back our own technology *humph*
