Excellent once again. Have you the Cambrian at all please?

Very nice I hope Severn bridge junction continues to operate long term fantastic signal box

What a great ride, give me those days back anytime!

I notice an offshoot after leaving fareham which i assume used to go towards gosport? Is this what has now become Henry Court Way, the bus lane?

Fascinating, really enjoyed this thanks. Even an ‘ELS’!!!

The class 501 was withdrawn in 1985 and replaced by 2 car EPB's 2 of which you passed on your journey!

My home patch. Been travelling this line, off and on for getting on for eighty years.

Lovely footage. Real shame about the totally fake out of sync audio repeated over and over

Darsham Station has a butcher's shop on the platform At Christmas time, there are a number of white boxes on the platform with customer's names. This will be the Christmas Club collecting their turkeys.

good vid apart from the film and the sound dont match up. the sound is way ahead of the film.

Super video, filling in a lot of information between what I knew in the 1960s and the present. But WHY didn't they just turn left at Guide Bridge straight to Denton? Doesn't make sense!

These days all single track.If a train breaks down, the lie closes. Passing place in Acle.

Outstanding Video and with the drivers knowledge (wow) made it very interesting. Many thanks for uploading. All the best... Steve!

Filmed by Nick Winfield, I believe?

We went on this open top bus, namely RM 2065 (ALM 65B in August 1996.

The headine states Victoria to Portsmouth. Since when is Hove any part of that route?

Should be turned over to Preservationists!

28:14 oh the memories.... ❤

Happy days 😂

Was this the road that the farmer made network rail use a full-time member of staff to be on a crossing 24/7 when all the rest were upgraded for crossing between his fields.

I loved the RT’s. Used to get an 87 and 23 to London for the day. Both RT’s when I started that in nineteen-hundred-and-frozen-stiff.

Amazing video. Guessing it was filmed somewhen in 1995 or so. Network Southeast is everywhere, so pre privatization, but the Fareham Eastleigh line is electrified (obv) so post 1990. If I'm remembering correctly, the M3 looks complete just past Shawford, so post Twyford down construction, which puts it about 1994 or so. Amazing fascinating video though. I would have been through here a few times, I used to ride the train along to coastway from Horsham to Southampton pretty regularly between 1988 and 1995 or so.. Edit: the 159 at Winchester confirms 1994 or later - they didn't enter service until then.

Love these rides, Mac. Have you considered digitally upscaling your VHS files. There's software out there - not that I have any experience of it.

Well designed, built to last !!

What's with the faint backing music? Sounds awful. Commentary is great, though.

That hooter needs some cough medicine.

@Mac's Tracks is this one of Nick's or Paul's videos? You have a banner on Sydney Gardens tunnel from Paul's DVD sales routes also the video locks a couple of times from Bathampton Junction to Sydney Gardens.

The St. Helen's RT looks superb, The livery really showed off the lines. Wonder if there is a good book on these buses. Coventry Corporation also bought an RT. GKV 99 from new.

Most interesting. Thanks. Strange that there was no stop at Westbury?

Out of interest, where did you find these ?

Would be great to see this video updated to Hi Definition video, still great though....

Great video, but strange to see a stopping service running from Tunbridge Wells to Redhill, because that route nowadays only runs as a non stop service to London Bridge, when the line through Sevenoaks is closed for engineering works.

What a cracking film for its time, yes not best quality but has a lovely charm! Great information & narration, I didn’t realise how beautiful this cross country run is, watched it twice, thanks for posting. Eddie.🤓

Brilliant, very knowledgeable commentary by the man in the know, and the beautiful scenery of Devon, well done!

Excellent captions and chat. Thanks.

They were so noisy.

i play the wherry lines on diesel railcar simulator; nice to see the real thing

That driver was a mind of information, great video and thank for sharing.

Nice to watch this footage. Between 1954 & 1965 we used to take 2 weeks holiday in Lowestoft, sometimes travelling by train, sometimes in my Grandfathers Bedford Dormobile. Overnight (starting around midnight) from Sheffield Victoria on a Manchester newspaper train. Arriving in Yarmouth at Vauxhall, walking over to South Town around 6.30am to catch the Lowestoft train. The link to the video is that the return journey one year involved travelling this route to Beccles as I think there were PW works on the direct line to Yarmouth. At Beccles we reversed and travelled to Yarmouth via Somerleyton Bridge? All the while I tried to convince myself we were going for another 2 weeks holiday in Lowestoft, (I was only 10 years old at the time, or younger!) As well as the clickety clack I used to love following the telegraph wires, dipping down then up again. Happy days.

Loved those Days late 80s Anglia Railways used to do Pilot Working Lingwood LCs Strumpshaw and Great Yarmouth Station Great Times

Why are they called harbour lights?

These old buses were great. In cold weather I sat in the front seats behind the engine to get a warm blast of hot air...

RT's have much more character than the Route Master.

Love the detailed information, believe there was also a siding on the down side after Fareham tunnel to serve Funtley Brickworks. Also Bubb Lane (after Hedge End) had an Admiralty siding and at one time a signal box.

Smoking permitted in all carriages, I presume?

It's very grainy this video and there's a lot of glare. TBH it's quite dull. 🥱

Been trying to find this video for years after watching it and then it disappeared. Great to see how the areas have changed. Thanks for re uploading it 👍

sound not linked, but added later.

jumped on and off many a RT in the 60's.....great old bangers for sure.

Actually between Ely and Peterborough I didn't see one caption that matched the name in Quail. But there are an awful lot of crossings.
