  • 960 mph? Don't blink!

  • lets all go to sunny birmingham

  • Did the driver sell ice cream in his spare time? He could have used his drivers 'uniform' if he did!

  • HR2

  • Its a wonderfull video looking to see what rail travel looked like through a driver's cab view in the early '60s, nearly everything you see in this vid semaphore signals, signal boxes, telegraph poles are all gone. The music I admire in this video. Thank you for sharing. I favoured this vid :)

  • Wycombe Looks wired in the 60s hehe. I grew up in that town in 80s =)

  • So sad to see Snow Hill looking like that, compared to the concrete mess it is now. :(

  • All that wonderful mechanical signalling..most gone into the xbox signalling center (West midlands signalling center).

    The driver, Ernest Morris was unfortunatly killed in the Knowle and Dorridge train crash 15th August 1963 while driving Class 52 locomotive "Western Queen" which was a replacement for a failed Blue Pullman set.

  • love it- interesting to see Leamington station 8 years before I was born!
