This has to be one of the best hour’s watching steam locomotives that I’ve spent in ages! Thank you for posting this video 👍🏻😀
What a fabulous video. So much changed in such a few years, the premature loss of steam, axing of so many routes, and eventually the closure of Swindon works (1985).
The gleaming warships fresh from the paint shop halcyon days
A very pleasant interlude seeing classic steam locomotives which are in beautifully clean condition too. I enjoyed seeing Mr. Nock in that Pullman journey. A favorite author of mine.
My last trip on the S&D, this time just from 'Coombe down to Bournemouth West was behind a 9F. Later on, I lived in Blandford and would walk my dog, Brunel, down to the river before they demolished the viaduct from the station to the river. I think I saw Evening Star north of Evercreech in the very early 1960s.
The footage where the loco crosses the road by Gloucester Park was very good to see! My mother fell off her bicycle just there when lightning struck the track! She would have been amazed to see film from those days!
Thank you very much for this wonderful video.
Thank goodness for Ivo Peters.
Superb trip down memory lane. I'm in my eighties now, but my schoolboy days often took me from Paddington to Gloucester. Many thanks. Oh, you didn't mention the WD"s.
In 1963 i had a West of England rover ticket for a child which was Sunday to Friday. On one of the trips dad took me to Newton Abbot station i caught train to Bristol then Bristol to Bath Green Park then 53807 on local Bath GP to Templecombe. The train wasn't going up to the main station at Templecombe but stopped at the short low level platform and i had to exit via the gaurds door. Don't remember much about trip, 3 coaches with 2-8-0 on the front a bit overpowered!
Steel trains are still banked by class 66. One ran away in 2020 colliding with a northbound class 170.
this vid needs restoring it's awesome
I was born in 1960 , great too see this .
Pity that Gods Wonderful Rut ever got their hands on the Licky as this was Midland territory. I believe these films all originated from the Railway Round About series.
OUTSTANDING I so wish they would reopen the S&DJR! Put it this way - it ran RIGHT THROUGH Worthy Farm (Glastonbury) SO it could take THOUSANDS of cars off the road during festival!
If a 9F couldn’t handle 12 coaches, what could? This has to be a pointless exercise.
Great footage of Bromsgrove and the Lickey incline. All of my childhood train spotting was at these locations, and this brought back and so many happy memories. Thank you very much for posting the video.
SUPERB and thank you for posting.
When UA-cam began there were very few railway films on here Hence my title.
Love David and Lily.
I remember seeing City of Truro and 123 on shed at Old Oak Common in 1960, I was thirteen, I think it was April but I'm not sure. I went to climb into the cab of 3440 not noticing the Brasso on the hand rails I slipped down and took the skin off my shins.
Bristol to Bradford? You mean Bradford was a destination? A train stopped there? Things must have been very different then.
My history teacher always called it everscreech jnct

What video camera is this taken on
It wouldn't have been video back then.
Probably 16mm.
I did notice a camera name mentioned but don't remember which.
