  Maybe the 07.30 Stranraer Harbour (Platform 2 !!) arriving in Glasgow Central ? I caught this train, after a night on the Stranraer Harbour Boat Train (21.15 ex Euston). It was hauled by 86 102 to Carlisle, 47 414 to Ayr, and 20 039 piloting 47 414 to Stranraer Harbour.

  The only solution is to bring in a rail company from the far east and give them unlimited legal powers of direct and complete control with no other interference being allowed for at least 40 years, passing laws in Parliament to do so - this would improve standards and lower fares, rail projects would be done much faster and in half the time - strikes would have to be banned on the railways and trade union leaders would have to be arrested if they started strikes, in fact trade unions on the railways would have to be made illegal

  wonderful, and especially wonderful to see the Mallard, such a shame that we got John Major, the worst Prime Minister ever, he privatised BR and the railways into a tail spin of years of confusion and uncertainty. Back then a ticket had a fixed price, and you could travel spontaneously. Now thanks to him, you have to book weeks in advance on the internet and still have to pay a horrendous price to travel. What a tosspot John Major was, and him shagging Edwina Curry, what a disgusting thought.

  The Four coach Double Decker electric unit trains operated on the Charing Cross and Cannon Street to Dartford via Sidcup line. They were painted in Southern Region green at first but this progressively changed to British Railways green in the early 1950s. They received all over blue with full yellow ends around 1970 which lasted before they were unceremoniously retired in October 1971.

  Wow, this video taught me so much about how the Beeching Axe changed trains in Britain! I had no idea that so many stations and tracks were closed because of it. It's sad to think about how it affected rural areas and made things harder for some people. But hearing Dr. Beeching's reasons for doing it made me understand a bit more. Overall, it's interesting to learn about something that had such a big impact on transportation. Consider watching the history of Dr Beeching Report for more insights by Hand Drawn History

  One of the most important lines Closed by labour was the line From Matlock to Buxton And Matlock It Takes Four Hours to get from Buxton To Matlock You have to go Buxton to Stockport Stockport to Sheffield Sheffield To Derby Derby To Matlock It takes one hour on the bus 🚌 And they it’s quicker by Train!!!! The line was an alternative route to London and the line To Manchester Central should Never have closed Obviously people who make these decisions don’t know Anything about Railway’s Ernest Marples has a lot to answer for Beeching lived in East Grinstead which had a high level and low level station The high level line was closed On the 2 January 1967 The track bed was later used To build a relief road and was Named Beeching Way A Car 🚘 Park was also built On part of the level Station The High Level Station The line from East Grinstead to Hayward’s heath and the from Uckfield to Lewes was another Piece of Railway Vandalism As they were alternate routes To Brighton went main line was Closed for engineering works Or any derailments which Blocked the main line The uckfield to lewes line is Mentioned In ADRIAN’S VAUGHAN book railway blunders

  Comfort and service from British Rail in 1985 you could only dream of today....This may have been a one-off run but as a regular user of HSTs and Inter-City services at the time, first class dining, just as in the video was a regular option, on-board buffet catering was excellent and second class had mostly seats with tables, less aircraft style seating. Ive not seen a better service anywhere today on any network from any provider than was provided by BR in 1985!

  This is classic misrepresentation of the facts. Beeching didn’t close anything, ministers did. Indeed, most closures happened under the Wilson Labour government, long after Beeching had gone.

  Fuck me who cares whoever it was it Labour or Tory, they are both the worst. It was an awful decision to remove alot of railway, with so little foresight a monkey could have done it better. Oh yea lets base our transport on the now and not think about tomorrow. Ring any bells? Near me bypass built under Major. One Lane built, enough for 2 easy, yet lets build for one because noone has the foresight to think between two junctions on M5 will be busy. Yes its a terrible road with so many accidents they made it a 40 zone probably years too late. Neither party has any view to future and actually making something that works. They just do the bare min and this country is so fucking passive about it all you see is yea i'll vote Tory because my mum fucking did. Gone are the days of MP's that actually give two shits, they just want their salary, and in some cases that salary on top of other earnings, sometimes into the millions and you think they give two flying fucks about you? It's so easy.

  The people who think the government was ‘evil’ at this time have never been able to explain why, if things were so bad, rail passenger numbers went up throughout this period. Asking people to pay the full cost of their ticket seems perfectly reasonable, especially for relatively wealthy commuters in the south east.

  The situation we’d be in now doesn’t bear thinking about if the Settle & Carlisle had closed, because Skipton - Carnforth would’ve been next. What should be happening now is speed improvements. The S&C was designed for 90mph running yet most of it is only as high as 60mph. There also needs to be some overtaking loops.

  Great memories, my parents and I travelled this line after the war. I was10 when the war ended, we went from Newcastle to Tarset from there it was about a mile walk to our destination Greenhalgh where we would have a week long holiday staying with our neighbours parents. Sometimes we would go to Bellingham instead of Tarset as a bus went near the village once a week on a Thursday. It only went to the lane end as it was called as it was a steep hill from there to the village less than quarter of a mile but in those days it probably would struggle to get back up the hill. Once we took the bus from Newcastle it was full and there was a steep hill which the bus could not climb so the men had to get out and walk up the hill, I can still hear the bus labouring up the hill in crawler gear.no body complained it was a way of life.
