Music suits this perfectly... Thank You.

I thought the 4 carriage Class 377s didn't enter service until 2004 when South Central Trains was rebranded Southern, and we only had the 3 Carriage Class 377/3 in 2003 alongside the Class 421/423 Slam Door Trains

Absolutely brilliant I just love old cinnie movies like this it shows the nostalgic of our heritage railway system

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE SONG AT THE BEGGINING

WHAT ARE THE NAMES OF ALL OF THE SONGS IN THE VIDEO?

Nowadays it's lets see how grotesquely ugly we can make a locomotive

Great video 🙌 is this when the rail was nationalised?

Gordon:oh idingnity

I was born October 68 I was 2 weeks old when this was taken and my grandad lived in hawthorn square he worked in the harbour and my dad’s brothers worked at dawdon and vane tempest

I was on this line last week now known as the Eskdale Line. Nothing much has changed in 60 years except perhaps some of the signaling. The stations still carry the same charm as they did then. Well worth a trip!

This video got me into Madonna. That was back in 2015. On another note, I've heard that Virgin Trains is coming back. Fingers and toes crossed that happens.

Superb atmospheric filming of a post coal industrial waste land . Could apply to much of Up North Areas. As a Londoner born and Bred we had plenty of dereliction post ww2 and huge decline in the huge docklands area and asskciated industries, but the one difference was being so near to huge Capital (World) City the area has partially reused as a brand new financial district and now many years later lots of housing and entertainment. I remember taking my late wife thru docklands in early eighties she was born nearly Dockside and after driving she turned to me with tears in her eyes and said lets go home i said why ? She i wouldvrather remember it as was alive with people and children poor hard working but alive, this dereliction makes me sad. Iam lucky being a suburban Londoner what i remember is still here like Epping Forest things have changed but slowly not wholesale destruction of an industry and way of life, in fact i live 600 yds from i was born and the park round the corner i played in as a child and stll walk the dog so that spans nearly 70 years..

A wonderful video from a perfect channel. Really enjoyable. I love the sunny clips it’s amazing that we had sun in the spring 😂.

I used to work for BR Southern Region when these first started to be delivered. Of course the first six units were delivered painted in the wrong shade of blue and remained that way for quite some time...

I know this line well, having watched goods trains using it (Hemelte). But where's the rest of it? Redbourne the Halts etc & it's joing with the maain line at Harpenden??

I lived in the Noah's Ark pub,(1965-68) loved watching the coal wagons go across the road and down to the docks.

More great colour footage ! Thanks for uploading.

Fantastic rare colour footage that took me back to the 1960's as a kid, we us use buy a 5/- Blue rover on the underground and 'Bunk' all the sheds around London. Us kids had so much fun in those happy days. And I have still got all my Ian Allen spotters books up in the loft. Thanks for uploading.

8:50 why did connex remove that 319s pantograph

This line has managed to survive despite many attempts to close it.

Love it. The music from driving miss daisy goes very well

what was the power car on the pullman train?

They say that every picture tells a story and this certainly did. Big thankyou

What memories, great stuff. Thanx for sharing.

Thanks for sharing

Contemporary BR diesels have no aesthetic whatsoever!

It’s healthy to come back to this video every now and then

Marvellous video. I need this on tape

This music would go well with class 170 on another video

They are super beautiful

❤ 1930s trains

The only 455s left are the ones running on SWR but they are due to be replaced by the 701s..SWR also made a bittersweet reminder of that they don’t have long left by repainting 455 868 in br blue. And I rlly love the SWT and connex livery same go3s for southern..!

Man I wish cross country ran back to Brighton. Those services were always full of passengers, shame they stopped running.

14 years later, it’s down to just two or three different classes of EMU electrostar 377/387 & class 700s that use Brighton.

This is probably the best video of Stratford I've ever seen. amazing footage !

Five stars for the footage. Interesting to see the change. I remember first going there about 1998 - still loads of slam doors about.

why is the audio silent?

I miss the days when South West Trains did advertising liveries!

Does anyone know where to find that piano recording of ‘By The Seaside’ at the start? It sounds nice :)

4:05 This Unit Has Some Weird Looking Doors On The 3rd Coach

I knew Connex south central had the 319s but never southern, did they use them on the Milton Keynes line?

Great images here . There was certainly something special about the station and surrounding yard at Hemel Hempstead . I believe the main building was demolished and the site cleared in early 1970 . A real shame to say the least .

The epitaph to a once huge Coal Industry, like the Herring ports all we have is these wonderful films.

Awesome video! May I have permission to use 3 seconds of your video (no audio) at czcams.com/video/yXqN5tByhMs/video.html ("British Waterways Horse Drawn Narrowboat 'One Horse Power'" footage from 1:05-1:08) to illustrate what a canal towpath is in my CZcams videos (educational, non-monetized) about remnants of the Pennsylvania (US) Canal, please (example: czcams.com/video/tYFJ0Og2abs/video.html )? If so, how would you like the acknowledgment?

1:16 HYMEC

CAN YOU DO THE CLASS 456

The destruction of the rail system was total insanity because all that the country is left with is completely gridlocked roads and crap bus services. Such short sightedness on behalf of so-called officialdom .

Surprised there wasn’t a photo of a class 40 or 37, unless hadn’t been built then, correct me if I’m wrong?

Personally 31s are better than 37s.

I didn't know eurostar trains went up here
