PLYMOUTH to GUNNISLAKE IN 1973 by BR DMU

A sad reflection on our railway heritage but wonderful filming with lush colouring and interesting shots. Too many branch lines have been allowed to rot and now we pay the price with clogged roads and rising fuel costs. How short sighted the government of the day were?

Thank goodness people are recording the railways all the time,because all too often it changes,mostly for the worse!footage like this is preserved now forever!
