What a lovely video. I once watched a documentary about the volunteers who worked so hard to preserve this little gem of history. Some of them were cast as extras in the film playing station and railway staff. The station in the book was called by another name but they kept Oakworth for the film. The late great Bernard Cribbens made the character of Perks his own and made him memorable.

What a charming trip. I love all these little stations and the vibes of an ancient train trip. I was born in a village (in Poland) where there was a train line from our village to the nearest town, just twice a week and my mother used to take us to go shopping for clothes, toys, etc. Then it was like a big adventure. I remember to smell the air or put an ear to the rail to find out if the train was approaching. And suddenly there was this all noise it made when leaving from the forest. It was the present Kampinos National Park. The route still exists but as a tourist attraction.

@MemorySeekers

Жыл бұрын

Thank you for sharing your memories of steam in Poland was lovely to read.

I like the little German 4-wheeled Diesel railbus that they sometimes use for the first trains of the day. Interesting that the branch survived for several years after the closure, in 1955, of the branch from which it diverged, and that therefore the short section of line from Keighley station to she site of the branch Junction is in fact a small surviving part of the main line. I grow station on the branch used to be Ingrow West, and Ingrow East on the main line was a short distance away. Shortly before reaching Ingrow from the North it is still possible to see the remains of a bridge abutment which carried the main line.

This...... Was just fantastic!!! The scenery was beautiful and brought back fond memories of Watching The Railway Children, which I would say is in my all time top five favourite movies..... Your commentary is brilliant and you should give yourself a pat on the back.... Well done...
