ON THE TRACKS with NJD

ON THE TRACKS with NJD

Railways of all gauges and ages, private and public, static and moving, overground and underground and sometimes on a cliff too!

We have standard 16:9 ratio videos as well as lots of #SHORTS of up to 60 seconds in length filmed in a portrait orientation.

Together they form a record of our travels to see anything On The Tracks.

    The slot between the rails contains the cable to which the tram is attached. The cable is winched remotely and lowers one tram as it pulls another up the hill.

    Brilliant condition. I'm a fan of Barnes locos, several at Windmill Farm in the hands of Austin Moss. My father and I made a video in 1995 featuring, among other locos, 'Duke of Edinburgh' in Maroon. They look nothing like A4s really but they are the epitome of seaside miniature railways and are unusual in being Diesel-Electric. Keep up the good work John Harrison. Wallasey, Wirral.

    The railway is now owned by Southport Pleasureland who operate the adjacent family theme park. Entry to the park is £4.99 with a "full experience" ticket allowing access to the rides being £24.99. The railway is situated outside the actual park so you can just walk up and pay for ride. I guess that it's not a core offering from the theme park. Handing it over to a group of volunteers on a long Peppercorn lease might be the way to improve the railway.

    It looks like time has not been kind to this little railway. I recognised it almost immediately having travelled on it back in the 1980s, there was another platform and run-round loop on the Left hand side at the pier end. I’m sure that there were steam locos too as well as ICE powered locos. I watched a video on KZread a short time ago of present day Southport and was shocked at the number of closed shops, especially the Wayfarers Arcade, on Lord street, in which all shops had closed and empty. So very sad. The little railway, at least is still running and hopefully its and Southport’s fortunes recovery. Best wishes from Oxfordshire

    Last time I rode this, my thoughts were it needs a tunnel of some kind with something to look at inside, they used to change the train at the turn around point, but that no longer happens so it seems, such a shame that there’s no progress, the mini railway in Lytham is almost the same just a square track going around a mini golf course with a short tunnel that’s just bricks, it seems to me that most seaside mini railways lack a great deal of enthusiasm and ideas to make them more interesting.

    A few things missing You a return loop rather than end to end 2 a weed killing train occasionally 3 If you are going to run end to end you have to have something, for passengers to look at NOT just run in a trench 4 a turntable and the running of live steam on weekends 5 try to extend length of track
