Caartony ahh train🙏🙏🙏💀💀💀😭😭😭

Fantastic! Details?

One sad day for all people. RIP Princess Diana ❤😢 I was 33 years old at the time. I cried all week. I am from USA.

Remove the rails cos of the cost. Cos roads are free to build, require no maintenance, and never add to the health budget through pollution or accidents. Oh wait...

How much speed is that?

Does it cost extra to sit on the front cabin?

fascinating that he couldn’t see past ten years of planning the future public transport in a country.

❤

Interesting trains for their time. I like the sound they make as they sound similar to the CSD D750, D752-754 class locomotives from the Czech Republic. Great video and thanks for sharing.

Many of the smaller railway lines should never have been constructed in the first place, but expensive as they were after the war,they did act as feeder lines for the main lines. Affordable car ownership from the fifties onwards, was as a result of the easing of credit restrictions, leading to mini, viva, herald , Anglia etc. This new found freedom accelerated the demise of all rail lines in the UK. Railways are great in many ways, but go from where they want, when they want, which isn't necessarily what the passenger wants. Destroying the infrastructure after closure was a way of getting some cashflow back, but you can only do that once. Beeching was a clever man, but Marples was a villain, he gave Beeching a very tight remit that didn't consider social effects. Marples later did a moonlight flit to France for tax evasion. Thanks for the upload .

Thanks for sharing! The video explores the Beeching Plan in Britain, aiming to save money by closing train stations. It prompts reflection on transportation decisions' lasting impact. Consider watching the history of Dr Beeching Report for more insights by Hand Drawn History

Gran bella macchina, quando eleganza e futurismo si incontrano....

Would it not have a been better just to mothball or temp close the line. or if the line was to close, keep the line in situ. just not in use for x period of time

Unless Archer's number was in the phone directory, which I doubt, how did Monica Coughlin obtain his number, or vice versa?

fk u beeching you killed wales, Brunel made England you killed Wales. When the mines closed you promoted the dole, the job center forcing you to work in jobs you made us work in. If the Government paid for transport surely they will pay less for dole? give us a chance. Help us. We are your country men/ women. Help us work. Our government built motorways hoping we would all buy cars.... dole cannot buy us a car. profit before people....petroleum companies helped u kill mass public transit mr BITCH ing

Beautiful compilation 💯🔥

Very well captured and edited. Looks like an interesting trip.

Archer was, is, and ever more shall be a complete and utter shit.

Didn't Beeching run off to live in France once he had his money, to get out of the way

Alquanto sacrificata la visibilità del macchinisra...

this clown cant take any blame for what people went through.just another political arsehole.

Vine, Will he be in bed now? Shortly after. Pariss, he makes his own bed and lies in it.pure class

80% of the closures were justified, indeed many of those lines shouldn’t have been built in the first place. The government were operating in the circumstances of the time, and that was a huge decline of rail usage that nobody could have predicted would ever reverse.

Beching I hope you are rolling in your grave!!

Top Chris.... 👏👏👏 i'm waiting you, next year for the 160th of Ferrovia Porrettana.

I will say one thing... "Someobody's got to pay", says the man demanding 24 grand a year back then 😂😂 Consistently says he can't speak to the traffic patterns in the days when this was recorded.... Then goes on to say he would've had a railway that reflects the current traffic pattern. Guy has no clue 😂 Came from the ICI board,vwhich subsequently destroyed ICI lmao Marples was the biggest villain in all of it. He, having sold his shares to his wife, still had control of the road construction company.... The same company he used to rip up the railways as soon as they were closed. Even though some railways were only listed for temporary closure until losses were recouped

The recurring theme in Beeching's self-defense is that he "looked at the traffic pattern" and decided it didn't justify the cost of operating a particular line. Such a position seems to totally ignore the network effect of slashing the network. When asked about costs for things like electrifying lines he, again, references "the current traffic" ad infinitum. He isn't challenged that "the current traffic" was not a measure of the future traffic. The only certainty of Beeching's decisions is that if he closed a line there was ZERO traffic on it. When challenged about the effects of his cuts on state of railways at the time of the interview (1973) is that he doesn't have "the current traffic patterns", but despite his lack of evidence he remains certain that every decision he made still makes sense in 1973. Incredible hubris and willful blindness. He also sidesteps the question of integrated transport policy with an 'above my pay grade' excuse, which is inexcusable for the man who headed British Railways. Also MIA, apparently, was any consideration of the number of road deaths and injuries resultant from all that traffic being shunted onto the road network - all of which would incur costs to the UK Treasury through benefits and NHS funding, not to mention the amount of pollution roads generated vs. trains and associated illness and deaths. All in all, Dr. Beeching's remit and his defense of his work are so obtusely defined as to ignore all the social and financial costs associated with his axe swinging.

There would of have to have been some cuts - but not on the level that actually went ahead. There was however, no political will to put investment into the railways to update them - things like the HST took ages and there's electrification, etc. I don't doubt it was shortsighted - but there are other people to blame as well as the good doctor.

The man just hates railways.

Cultural train.

I love railways and looking back don't like the idea of the cuts, but Dr Beeching gave some very clear answers on this interview that helped explain his reasoning. I can understand the railway workers and their families not being happy about losing their livelihood but this does help explain why somewhat.

A telling moment in that interview was early on, when Dr. Beeching was talking about which trunk rail lines he would still close (at that time), and he said that a certain line could close ([quote] "...without any harm to anybody except people in Berwick-upon-Tweed". I take the point the presenter and Beeching himself make about over-simplifying things by blaming one person, but that quote does I think lend credence to the view that Beeching was himself a tad over-simple in his approach to the railways in that he took a narrow 'business' view of it with a blind eye to the wider social and economic ramifications of his recommendations. I think a similar charge could be leveled at the Heathites and Thatcherites who governed Britain in the 1970s and 1980s - "they know the price of everything and the value of nothing" was commonly said of them by ordinary British people at the time and after.

I urge everyone to watch this series carefully - under the guise of humour, hilarious at that - they predicted everything that was coming our way over 30 years ago. Mr.Root starts out on his journey fighting the unification and homogenization of Europe, after a visit to the EC in Brussels - he comes away embracing and applauding it. Repeatedly it is mentioned by various characters there will no longer be any Englishmen, Frenchmen, Spaniards but one Europe - an eradication of individual cultures. At approx 17:30, approx 39: and approx 48: they repeatedly talk about how every place in Europe will look like every other place and you won't be able to tell the difference. The series takes the Roots to a small village in France where Mr. Root remarks that it should be preserved as model or made into a theme park by Richard Branson (the it global businessman for the masses of the early 1990's) of a typical quaint French village. By the end of the episode the stalwart xenophobic prototypical Englishment bent on preserving English ways against the encroaching European Union and homogenization of all countries is, after his visit to the EC in Brussels, handing out EC or what is now EU, hats, t-shirts, flags to quaint French villagers having fully conformed to the nascent globalist agenda. He now talks about the merits of being the "New European" and urges his wife now to conform to this new standard - the same one he started out on this journey railing against and the very reason for his sojourn into all of continental Europe. Unbelievable at the end of this episode, while firmly esconcedin the new modern European hotel in Brussels (as opposed to the small, boutique, run-down, character-filled small hotel they first start out in Paris) he actually uses the words "smart technology" actually using the word "smart", the same word they have now attached to everything designed to kill us. It was all laid out there for us to see under the guise, in this case, of the most hilarious comedy you might have seen in a while - you'd have never noticed you were being told of the trap and prision they were setting up for all of us. Infinitely evil and infinitely clever are these people or more accurately, satanists, at the top. They were gradually creating and forming all this while they had us laughing at it like it was entertainment which is exactly how they presented it. Take the time to watch it in its hilarity - you'll be stunned how clearly they laid it out and told you beforehand 30 years ago. CCindy NilesTThus Spake Zara

AWESOME!! 👏

Since Johnathan Aitken was by that time a convicted felon, how did he get a US Entry Waiver into the united states? And what the heck was he doing in Washington anyway?

loved it 👏👏

Very informative. If anyone has one I would appreciate a link to a similar video on the '48 nationalisation.

These are top notch, so enjoyable 👏 I can’t believe I didn’t know about this series until now! Thanks for uploading 😊

9:39 that kid that said Nooooooooo

I remember feeling genuine shock and dismay hearing the news. It was disconcerting because I’m American and not that interested in the royal family. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The Anglia Shares issue simply defies all logic - Archer's combined profits from all the book deals up to that time were tens-of-millions of pounds. So why would Jeffery Archer use insider-trading information to gain a measly 80k? By trading Anglia shares - a company in which his own wife was a director - he risked not only damaging himself but incriminating his wife - destroying her career and reputation? All that risk for chump-change? Just doesn't make sense.

Thanks for posting this. I watched it back in the 90s. still as funny.

26:25 this is actually a fairly obscure bit of history. Beate Uhse was a member of the WW II Luftwaffe as a testpilot and the German equivalent of the WACS. She dodged Soviet flak making some of the last flights out of a besieged Berlin. Except her name is not pronounced like BTUs, it is Bey-ah-tey Oo-say.

Compared to Jeremy Clarkson's "Meet the Neighbors", this is the height of sublety.

Clever piece of propaganda for '92 s European Union. Too bad it all turned out for naught in 2016.

There is so much Brit-specific humo(u)r in just the opening sequence, it would take a post a dozen paragraphs long to list them all for those who missed it.

Root into Europe has never been shown on the TV because it so accurately reflects the racist attitudes of the British establishment and the government. One of the best British TV series ever, too clever for its own good.
