  • Some excellent footage here. I love the re-railing of the GWR loco, and the vintage vehicles in the breakdown train.

  • Superb footage, thanks. And that's from a "Southern" man :)

  • That diesel-electric loco must have seemed very alien and futuristic at that time!

  • That site would make a great shopping precinct if they decide to close the station.....

  • Thankyou!

    

  • Very interesting piece of footage.Could I upload this to two British steam sites (Railway World TV and Steam Tube) of which  I am an active member?

  • Thank you Mr Beeching!!!!

    Time has poved that the closing of the GC was a huge blunder.

  • thanks for sharing this, great upload!

    Sadly all gone now...happy days

  • @JimTLonW6 I'd like to think so - but for some reason whenever a line reinstatement is talked about, the 'powers that be' always manage to make it look more expensive than equivalent road schemes. I don't understand that mentality - I certainly don't understand the maths! :) For me it always seems the obvious solution! I do remember reading that when they have taken down bridges along the GCR, surveyors have noted that the quality of the brickwork was always good even after all the years!

  • @DBD34GS I think the answer is that the former GCR was transferred to LMR. The GW engine probably worked a cross country service via Banbury and Woodford Halse; there were a lot of trains on this route at one time.
