  • @crafty181 I moved away from the area ten years ago but still keep in touch with Peter,spoke with him him today and Sid was mentioned,he is alive but is now looking his eighty plus years. May I ask your name please,I will mention it to peter when I speak with him next.

  • @crafty181Hello,my name is David Kemble, I was at STJ from 1979 to 1984 as a telephonist and general dogs body and know Sid Stockford well.Do you know Peter Payne ? He started as a guard in 1967 and went on to be chargeman at Undy Hump before going to Caldicot Crossing where he is at present.

  • This sounds like the boring expedition from Surbiton to Hounslow on Monty Python

  • great video. i spent a day spoting at STJ in 1961.no sun that day it rained and i decided it was the bleakest railway station i had ever visited.good fun though.

  • Wonderful! As I watched it I was looking out for my "Grandad Puffer", at that time an engine driver at STJ.

  • A great video - my Grandfather and Uncle on my Dad's side of the family used to work for the GWR at Newport (South Wales). Great to have seen the locomotives that they would have seen almost every day, and a right shame so many steam trains were scrapped as they are lovely machines - very British indeed. Hope we don't make the same mistakes with the 125s in 10/15 years time! Thanks again for posting.

  • How great to be able to look back in time! Thank you!

  • What a cracking piece of film - Thank you for sharing! - Mike

  • At Otterspool Junction the line went to Sharpness not Sheerness. That would have been quite a journey!

  • Excellent film and well shot with good voiceover and sound
