  Anyone in 2024 still come back and re-watch Malcolm's vids ... though he is no longer here he left a great legacy in this channel. He also inspired me to start my own channel exploring the railways of the Isle of Wight, I hope he knew how much of an inspiration he was 🙏

  At Woofferton There was a line that branched out to the right, this line went to Cleobury Mortimer then split into 2 lines, imagine looking at that split, you have Ditton priors to the left and Bewdley to the right

  It ran down the bottoms of the gardens in Dorset Road. The home owners were given the opportunity to buy the land that was the track, to extend their gardens.

  We used to live very near to this old Power station line at Hartlebury, Remember very well Class 25s and the odd class 37 taking coal in from the Hartlebury end down to the Power station, This was mainly done late Afternoon / Evening" and the trains always travelled slow on the Line, We lived at Poolands farm until 1983 and it Overlooked the Line" so we always saw many coal trains back and forth, Thank you for the share, Happy times in that area.👍

  Another who's just discovered this channel, and sorry to hear of author's passing - great vids. Often caught bus from Malpas to Chester in late '60s / early 70s, and Malpas station was a good mile-and-a-half from the town. Bus went over railway bridge at station where trackbed still 'fresh' after lifting of the line. Feature for many years after was the modern steel railway bridge over the A41 at Chowley Crossing near Tattenhall which our double decker only just seemed to squeeze under. Our bus crew on the C58 (conductor Archie Smith - a real character - and much quieter driver Bill) worked out of Whitchurch and came across to Crosville in the mid-60s after the mass closure of the Cambrian mainline & branches, where they'd worked as Fireman & Driver on the steam engines. I believe someone interviewed a number of these characters - great social history record, but can't find online again for the life of me.

  It's only when one views many other lost railway presentations that you realise how good this bloke was. Very few are his equal and as others have said, a superb legacy has been left. And he's very much missed at his local cricket club too. RIP.

  The burlish crossing gates with its house, was the stourport signal box mans house . And a gate man operated man operated crossing gates opening as and when train came. He sat in a hut by thegates . He had st vitas dance syndrome and he did not quite open the gates on time and a bubble car DMU. Eent through the closed gate knocking the gate man flying . But surved the incident . Luckily. Just before closure in 1960s. 😅

  Of course there is no way the line will ever be re-instated from Ironbridge to Bridgnorth, from Ironbridge south, the land is suffering from rotational slips, the soggy ground is making its way to the Severn, a problem the GWR had yonks ago, you will need a bridge to get from the western tunnel mouth to Bridgnorth station, this was taken out decades ago because of the low height restriction. Also approaching Bridgnorth tunnel mouth, the trackbed is now a road through a housing estate. Who would pay for this anyway, who would look after the permanent way, the SVR have more than enough on their plate for the existing mileage. A new station with run round, would have to be built on the car park at Ironbridge, not to mention an engine house and space for stabling a set of carriages for the first train out, oh and a signal box, or at least a ground frame, then crossing gates need to be operated along the line, it will never happen, so just enjoy this lovely film, dream a bit, press the like button as I have.

  Classic lack of foresight - men sweated and in many cases lost their lives building these lines, Dr Beeching closed many of them and 50 years later they've put half of this one back again at massive cost.

  Many years ago I walked the length of the line. The track was just about to be ripped up. Most stations were intact if rather derelict. The huge army depots were still complete although minus most sidings. When I was very young I did see an Austerity tank hurtling through Meole Brace towards Hookagate

  It’s almost like when all of the lines closed under Beeching, it was a definitive effort to make a statement that railways were in the past and huge effort to prevent any possibility to bring them back into service. When you think of all of the greed and corruption in the high echelons of the political realm I’ll bet that many brown envelopes and back handers exchanged during the 60s
