The Train Now Departing

Postby Crumplezone » Sat Jul 26, 2014 7:46 pm

I don't know how many of you from the UK recall this old VHS series released by BBC back in the 90s and aired in 1988 but they have popped all 6 episodes up onto there BBC iPlayer at this following link:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p011pddx

Episode 1 covers S&C back as it was in the 80s when it was going to possibly close outright.
Episode 2 covers West Highland Railway
Episode 3 covers Exmouth
Episode 4 covers steam on the isle of man
Episode 5 covers industrials steam locos and there is alot of interesting footage and information in this episode.
Episode 6 covers preservation and surviving locos.

They are all 30mins or so long and well worth watching as they have quite rare decent quality colour film footage with sound of steam locos from the end of steam.
