  • Brilliant upload- thanks! I particularly like the irony of the DMU being rescued by an old GER 'Claud' steam loco.

  • I love thse old films

    More please

  • That DMU is going very fast considering it's in first gear @ 00:31

  • Much easier getting the fitter!

  • I'd hate to be a driver without a guard. How the heck do you attend to failures and protect the train from the rear as well as usher passengers? Driver only operation? No thanks!

  • Thanks for uploading these - an interesting insight into the job of a driver of the early DMUs. Surely today's DMU drivers aren't expected to have such an in depth mechanical knowledge and carry out all those running repairs, crawling all over underneath the train, and lineside, no mention of personal safety, and not a hi-viz panel in sight, on train or jacket!

  • anyone know where the locations are and at what part in the video?

  • They're having a shit day

  • Great, but all too brief, clips of Wymondham and County School Stations (and some other locations) in their 1950s glory - and there are some immaculate uniforms about too! County School is now on the currently non-operational northern section of the Mid-Norfolk Railway, north of Dereham, but you can still ride on a heritage railcar from Wymondham Abbey Halt to Dereham. See 'Mid-Norfolk Railway' on Facebook.
