I am so glad I am as old as I am, to remember when this was a normal, daily occurrence.

Splendid, evocative stuff, and great to see it in colour. I remember seeing most of these locomotives in service.

pity it cant be opened up again, it would make a great tourist attraction👍

I was there on that memorable day and have colour slides to show for it. lovely to see film, too. Thanks for posting

It felt harrowing at the end. Like losing good friends.

The ( Gomshall Summit 😝) looks like something in West Virginia ( ? ) ... but ..... my domestic bonfire produces MUCH LESS smoke ( SAVE the whale .. ermmm ) Greta T would NOT be amused .... DAVE™🛑

Thank you. I like to think we could have just boarded that train leaving Winchester. Just as I remember it😊

Did you know what locomotive was hauling the train? It would be very interesting to know.

Ian I have just stumbled on this, and wow, its wonderful, your father captured something very special here, and will never be seen again, a superb historical record, you should be very proud of this, and I am assuming that may have been you at the end working the signal Thank You so much for uploading

Is that beautiful locomotive a Bulleid Pacific? If so, it’s my favourite locomotive of all time!!

There must have been hundreds of feet of film used to record this event,wonder what happened to it just lost I suppose

Superb performance from Britannia 👍

Fabulous 👍

Just trying to imagine that we're back in the days when steam was king. This might have been a regular sight in the late evenings of mid-summer. Nicely shot and thanks for sharing.

All I can see is the railway line, so what’s happened to the train? Ah!! Here she comes!!

Glorious sunset!! Now where’s the Sunset Express?

Great footage! I'd like to say thank you because, as a Southern Region railway modeller for the 50s/60s, it's always good to see prototypical instances of non-Southern locos making an appearance. It now means I can allow myself to get an A4 (hopefully Sir Nigel Gresley in LNER blue) and justify its appearance on my layout. I know the first rule of model railways is that you can run what you like, when you like, but that doesn't work for me, sadly. 😏

Ah, brake-van trips, a wonderful way to travel!

She is a special loco.

Those wonderful sounds made by the powerful locomotive are fabulous!! More steam trains MUST be run on the ordinary railway, even if they’re specials.

Glorious sight, a great steam locomotive hauling a train of passengers and staff!!

❤ Beautiful train. It's summer and not so much steam.

Thanks for sharing these films. 1964-1968 were the years I spent travelling here most weekends to see these sights. So glad that your dad was in a position to film these times.

The J94 is by no means a weak locomotive, but gets simply smothered by a couple of brake vans, it shows how steep this incline was.

No voice?

Excellent Ian, and great to see the locals coming out and enjoy seeing the train, even on a gloomy evening. I think the damp conditions at dusk added to the atmosphere.

Brilliant video! I saw her at Byfleet & New Haw.

Glorious!! I love the Southern Railway!!

Thanks for posting, and the interesting historical landscape context at the end.

N/E what. England, Scotland, Wales, NI, UK ?

You can have any colour you like as long as it’s black 5s… Actually it’s good to see steam footage in colour after all the b/w archive stuff, so well done your dad. Beautifully filmed.

What a glorious sight!! Clan Line hauling a train of Pullman cars!! Very exciting!! Well seen and well done!!

Thank Ian, superb video from years ago, never went but saw many J94 on sheds

Is it going back on the Pullman service?

Absolutely wonderful! You are so lucky! Thank you for sharing.

You wern't totally 'bowled' Ian, but very annoying all the same. You did really well considering though, and what a fabulous sight No.28 made!

This is lovely news!! Clan Line has been worked on for years. It’s about time they got her back to streaming the VSOE Pullman cars!!

!! What a shame... how annoying. It wasn't a total loss, though. 👍🏻

Waw, no diesel locomotive at the back this time.

Sounds like a Serious lack of Communication

👍👍👍

Great capture Ian! I nearly saw it, but didn’t get to the platform in time at Godstone. 3 x roadworks and a long diversion delayed me 🙄

✔✔✔

Nice vid. It's always good to see Clan Line. It was the first Merchant Navy Loco that I saw. From a bridge just outside Bournemouth station in the 60's while on a family holiday, so this brought a few memories back.

Thanks so much for sharing your Dads wonderful cine films........

Weekend engineering work - now there’s a fly in everybody’s ointment 😮

What a gorgeous locomotive!! I wish I had been on one of the carriages behind her!!

Thanks for posting. Do you know what caused the blockage at Wimbledon?

For me see this material is fantastic.Thanks from Valencia .Spain.You have an great work, is a Jewell.

Great film. Reminds me of when my parents took me on holiday to Swanage in 1958, I was brought up on GWR but I well remember pulling into Salisbury and seeing Southern Region engines for the first time and, much to the consternation of my mother, as soon as the train stopped I was out and rushing up the platform to the newsagents to buy a Southern Region Ian Allan ABC. Since then I've always had a soft spot for the Southern. Great memories
