I'd like to add another train of thought to the unavoidable how much better did we do things back then ones. The explanation, simple and concise, of the push me pull you shenanigans at Templecombe is a breath of fresh air. Pitched at just the right amount of credit given to the audience's interest and intelligence levels.

This is a great program and wish I had this on dvd. God bless Ivo Peters and all those other photographers that used a remarkable amount of colour film, its really thanks to them that we can still get some appreciation of the character of the line. Its also good in this is that info is given about many individual shots and nice little snippets of info such as the sign with the L&S painted over etc.

Thank you so much for uploading this series of videos - I have today (1/8/2021) visited shillingstone station. This video is a treasure vault of the line and operation.

Steam engines bringing in crowds of passengers on the heritage lines. Diesels aren't that 'clean' either...…..
