Nationalise the rail!
What a mistake it was to privatise it. Hah, and we let the tories back in.
Fuck the tories. They're going for the NHS next!

@nocluewhere I think you'll find it's a broadsheet that he has folded!

@Freevie2009 The music was used as the theme for an 80s game show called Computer Challenge (thanks TV Ark for that) but I've been trying for years to find out what it's called and who it's by, without success.

@ValentaLamenter yes it was a tv centre for BBC it was based around Edgbaston. There was a chatshow there called pebble mill which was on BBC1 around lunchtime. It closed down in 2004 and was demolised in Summer 2005.

it was 1989 I could tell by the roman numerals MCMLXXXIX

The electrified freight loop line at Adderley Park still existed at this time, since removed of course. Can just be made out if you pause it at 0.55.

good video, like how it showed the whole of the trip rather than just the camera.

That journey now costs £149 peak or £44.30 off peak if you just turn up for an open return, but I think with some careful planning in advance it would still be possible to do a Birmingham/Euston return and get change out of £20!

@ValentaLamenter Pebble Mill was owned by the BBC
I bet you dont get any change from £20 these days! BTW Does any one know what is Pebble Mill is?

@globaldistrictline I believe Pebble Mill was a television centre based in Birmingham.
