Bridport to Maiden Newton by train in 1975

This a great find. Probably unique, we should be grateful for this record.

Finally, what remains of the line is soon to get a new lease of life: work has begun on converting it into an all-weather-surfaced cyclepath. From photos I've seen of the trackbed now, the builders have their work cut out for them (certainly, the nearer one gets to Bridport) - anyway, search for "bridport trailway" if you're interested in further news.

If only...I was 7 when the line closed, going to walk the remains later this year, will catch the train to Maiden Newton first of course...Lovely footage though!

Thanks..
