Keep Our Railways Still Open & Running.

Great living history.

Brilliant video. Love the protesters at the beginning. Very realistic.

fantastic

Well done

That is absolutely delightful.

A marvellous event that was! I think I stood next to you a few times while at Loughborough, I was the chap in the red baseball cap and shirt.

This is fantastic! Fantastic camerawork as well. They (GCR) really did a fantastic job with this - we just need something similar now at the Severn Valley!

That was tremendously well done! Hats off to all the reenactors, and, especially, the cameraman. Splendid job done by all!

They did a fantastic job, glad you enjoyed it!

I have a Hardback Book called The Railway Policeman. The Story of the Constable on the Track. By J. R. WHITBREAD.

I was fortunate last year to travel on GCR on a weekday Steam Gala Day. It was just as terrific as this video's recreation. Great filming and excellent actors. So realistic! Well done to all.

loving the video keep up the good work

Thank you :)

Great stuff. We still suffer as a country from the vandalism done by Beeching on behalf of the corrupt Minister of Transport Ernest Marples of Marples Ridgway (road builder). The money wasted on HS2 would have been better reinstating some of the branch lines and communities destroyed by this [Marples] corruption.

Another great weekend at The GCR

Absolutely, always a highlight of the year!

I have a Hardback DORLING KINDERSLEY DK EYEWITNESS GUIDES Book of TRAIN. Discover the story of railways - from the days of steam to the high - speed, sophisticated trains of today. In association with THE NATIONAL RAILWAY MUSEUM.

Is there a market for Beeching impersonators like there is for Churchill impersonators?

Edwardian Era 1901-1910.

The Lifestyle of the Victorian & Edwardian Policeman was particularly harsh and the pay was poor.

The Bobbies.

In reality Beeching cuts where not all his, the then head of the Tory transport minister owned a road building company whose interest was not on the countries transport links but on his own bank account. In Parliament when he was accused of having a interest clash he sold his shares in the company to His wife Shortly after he received a tax bill for £63,000 a huge sum then so he did what every thieving Tory minister did, he drove to Monaco which dosent have a treaty with British police so he led a lavish lifestyle until he diminished his tax bill to a fraction of what it was

Ernest Marples has very little to do with it. Little halts in the middle of nowhere serving half a dozen people a day, but still need staff, losing money hand over fist; of course it was right to close them down.

@@WilliamSmith-mx6ze and your information comes from where? It’s well known that Beeching was from iCI and knew little about the running of railways but when he submitted the plans to Marples office they then where put under pressure to carve even more holes in the railway network! That has came from those who worked in Marples office as he wasn’t a particularly well liked politician. So going by your no doubt expertise on railways France, Germany et Al are all wrong as they operate feeder services to their main hub stations. The sane ones you would close… tell me are you one of the idiots who vote for the Tory party despite them failing in just about every aspect of their Governance!! Because your simplistic but obviously wrong judgement in the long term judging by the numbers of areas wanting to have their local railways restored. But am sure given your viewpoint you would much prefer for more roads to be built
