  • Ongoing Govermental corporate,lies,greed and the constant need for putting `Profit` before the needs of the public.Dont look for it,its never gonna get any better,just be happy with what youve been lumbered with! The `Old `school will know what I mean?.......So sad really.

  • proper trains. Very nostalgic. What happened. Brought up on the Western in the fifties and sixties. happy days

  • Superb!! Reminded me of my last all line rover... when we had a railway system to be proud of.....

  • wow this brings back memories from my childhood i was 10 in 1991 i remember this scene clearly happy days

  • How did we loose it?

    Answer...people bought the lie that privatisation would bring costs down due to competition...yeah right!

    Anyone know of cheap gas,electricity, water or rail fares recently or if we still build locos or trains?

  • How did we lose all this!?.. and why did these good times have to end? So sad..

    Watching this was a wonderful trip down memory lane for me.. memories of a railway i worked on, and played on.. thanks for a superb upload - Excellent!

  • Absolutely brilliant, thanks for being so generous with the footage.  Love the atmospheric evening shots of Paddington :)

  • Thanks for this excellent look back at the 'proper' railway when trains were more comfortable and not daubed with silly liveries. This is the railway I knew and worked on. Not forgetting the classic locos. Thanks again for a piece of modern history.

  • Railway operations here in the UK were so much more interesting then. Happy memories - thanks for sharing.

  • English diesel traction - not much of it left nowdays (sighs). Excellent film.
