A lot of people tend to forget that in the 60s BR was losing money hand over fist. So the less profitable lines had to go.
A lot like todays bus routes through the Forest.
The fact is use it or lose it.

Nice footage. Destroyed by the music. Why does everyone feel they have to smother the blissful silence of these old films?

Remember the goverment was in that period very anti rail. It still is to a certain degree. It wants to encourage people to use public transport but doesn't try to get the fares lowered like the railways are mainland Europe.

At that time one could get the 7.30am train off Ross on Wye and be in London Paddington by 10.30. With the recent A40 roadworks it is difficult to get to Gloucester before 10.30. Progress!

The whole of the Wye Valley Railway network should never have been taken apart, what a tourist attraction! Clowns in Local and National Government again!
