I am old enough to remember R1 tanks thundering up the 1 in 30 with showers of cinders decending on us. Ferrys left so frequently that you could see two at a time on their way to Calais. I also remember the GWR pannier tanks. I have travelled over the line in the small hours as the technician on a Neptune Track Recording car. We nearly did not make it out. I have also walked the line in Railtrack days. Some of the chairs had my birth date on them. See our video at kzread.info/dash/bejne/maCbw7ShfcTRdLA.html

Great video ! Thanks for sharing this...... What a sad sad sight this area is today, a shadow of its former self ..... we can only hope that in the future trains will run again into this station !!

Thanks Angela, glad you liked it. The Harbour Station is being renovated, and I believe railway carriages are to be situated there and used as a restaurant, (would be nice if they added a locomotive). The viaduct will be a walkway down to the Harbour. Unfortunately it seems that the railway is gone but not forgotten.

That’s the trouble of shutting all the railways outstations are used to be good for the Taurus come down and see how steam train tonight

I can remember the hell steam trains going Diana are you should go down and enjoy it I should’ve made it all work with the town

The private investor should’ve put the money in and keep it Open as a tourist attraction

The Loco crew member shown as Roger Wiles is spelt as his surname is pronounced, but I now believe the correct spelling is Roger Willes.
