  • @stateforce you will notice in the list at the beginning that there are infect 2 narrators!

  • This is wonderful

  • yes, it's hard to beieve that the station masters office is now the Wistlestop shop

  • yes` times sure have changed,

    the quality of service back then was amazing and the station looked so full of life.

  • I like the way there's 15 people with a job to do, from cleaning the cab windows and watering, through checking wheels for cracks and checking axle boxes, checking lamps though loading passengers/unloading parcels. Now there's a driver and guard and around 3 people down the platform to pass the message to the driver!

  • Those were the days 50 years ago. York in steam, a bridge with 4 tracks, the people and everything. Now, a bit of steam (from the NRM), no bridge and 4 tracks - just 2! The people and everything - is changed.

    Why IT HAS TO BE modernazaition?! BRING BACK OLD ENGLAND!!!!!!!! THUMBS UP!

  • Oh my lord, this is amazing. I walk in and out of that station every day to go to college. I am speechless from this! :D

    6:09 now platform 9, with 10 and 11 on the left.

  • Great vid, i still dream of waterloo in full steam

  • @Lytton333 I know, I'm 31, and missed all this, and I wish I had been there, I can just remember the 4 tracks through, now down to 2!

  • @vonroon23 I'm a York resident.. and you never said a truer word guv'..

    It's all gone.. and only a handful like me care..

  • Living in York and sometimes finding myself on the station concourse on a Saturday teatime.. I often wonder what the station-master shown here would have thought of the noxious gangs of louts from Middlesborough and Leeds who are already aggressively drunk when decanting from their trains, and intent on causing mayhem and trouble in the town - Or the the screeching/ vomiting/ backside-flashing harlots in hen-parties catching the last train on a Sat night. Welcome to modern Britain..

  • cool! Love it

  • cool!

  • HOLY COW I STEPPED ON THAT STREET YESTERDAY
