wonderful film, thanks for sharing. As a Welshman now living in S.E Asia, always nice to see my old hometown of Swansea. At 10.00 or so, there was the comment "It is now a Wasteland..." which for me, sadly, sums up a great deal of what was once the United Kingdom. Perhaps if we, the British, stopped electing people to run our country simply on the basis that they have a posh voice and a First from Oxbridge, in Greats, then maybe we might get somewhere....

Thats a great film......Funny thing is, like so many 'then & now' films and books, I'm already missing the 'now' images......

Great stuff. Hard to believe that during those days all those lovely working beasts were taken for granted and just looked upon as everyday regular modes of transport. Looking back we can appreciate just how amazing those locos were. Sad.

You've got to wonder if there was green GWR paint underneath all that lovely grime 3:00! You can just see the logo! At least the variety was still there in the 90s. Now all trains look the same! Bring back loco-hauled passenger traffic! You forget just how 80s, the 90s were

It's odd to think that the "now" portion is now almost as old as the "then" section was at the time.

breeze 147 I think it’s the effect of the old film, I imagine they were a rust brown colour in reality
