I just found this - absolutely beautiful. FWIW, Quorn & Woodhouse Station was opened in 1899 as part of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway’s (MSLR) London Extension from Sheffield which became the Great Central Railway (GCR). It was intended to serve the villages of Quorn, Woodhouse and Woodhouse Eaves. THE STATION TODAY Because of the association with the Second World War, the station has been restored, to its 1940s condition and currently sports the 1924 LNER brown and stone colour scheme. Traces of which were found during conservation work in 2012.

i loved the old steam trains when i was a kid,all gone now

Brilliant production and so well planned. I lived in Loughborough from 1975 for over 20 years and as there is very little snow in the East Midlands so you must have had staff on standby. Nice to hear the regional accents, they're getting rare as hens teeth nowadays as people move around the country more. Well done like all your other productions.

A lovely glimpse of a happier Britain. Thanks for posting.😃

Not a traffic cone in sight. Many lovely memories as a 12 year old kid.

Definitely more staff than passengers on that station!

Great film, QTF. It does depend on us, where there's still line and routes still unbuilt on. Nice work and all the best to all the concerns and associations involved in the Heritage movement and those who would see the GCR and other axed lines opened for business again. Cheers.

I very much doubt a fireman or driver from that era would speak received pronunciation. The voice over sounds like a BBC announcer.

Wonderfull

Looking forward to retirement from SNCF. I’m wondering which UK preserved railway I will volunteer at. Love what you’re doing at the GCR. Well done !❤

Chap with the mobile phone and Toyota Corolla gave it away

A little masterpiece.

Superb! Had me fooled for a while that is was not a 50s BTF!

Flat bottom rail 😳

Sir John we miss you.

What a truly fantastic film. Well thought out, Narrated and Edited. A modern film that takes you back in time. I worked on the railway for 42 years and loved every minute. I started as a Porter, Parcel worker (Nottm London Rd), Office Lad, Shunter, Guard and then progressed onto the Footplate as a Frieght Driver at Toton and finally to Passenger Driver at Derby. Times and shift working were hard, but I loved every minute. I'm so glad to have worked in a time when the Railway was still great.

Amazing.... Brilliantly well done. If you ever need some aerial footage, then don't hesitate to ask. I'm local to Loughborough and would be delighted to help out. I've just started to share some videos on a channel. I'll be updating these regularly. www.youtube.com/@GCRAerialExpress

Absolutely enthralling! 👏👏👏

The clue is in all those preserved locos! All in the spirit of the BTF films, well done.

We really enjoyed the video thank you for all your hard work that you do. 😊

Great video thanks 😊

Fantastic brilliant so well done, I love all the BTF films you have recreated one perfectly. 👍

02:57 я из России, и у меня в детстве ( когда был СССР) на Новый год мы делали такие же цепи, из цветной бумаги (иногда просто сами раскрашивали красками белые листки, не было готовой цветной бумаги).

I remember them well !

A brilliant pastiche of BTFs!

Love the way they use 'The Lost Lady Found' from Percy Grainger's 'The Lincolnshire Posy' as an intro. The same piece of music was used on John Betjeman's 'Branch Line Railway' made in 1962.

So forward looking to have the whole thing set up and ready for when the snowy weather came. I wonder how long they had to wait.

I’m a Yank, but to my understanding, the worst, longest, coldest and snowiest U.K winters were 1962/3 and 1949. Is this video depicting 1962/3?

Why are people carrying empty suitcases?

Outstanding 👏👏👍😎

Fantastic. But how did you get away with being on the track without a hi-vis on??

Great film, beautifully made in what I thought until now, was an inimitable style! Deserves a lot more views. But don't be disappointed, those who have seen it; love it!

Beautiful! Thank-you!

How sad to see the state of the railways today absolutely crap we should go back to these days ?

They really used the volunteers a lot. One gentleman in a trench coat got on and off a train four times including one boarding right after an arrival.

1962/3 was a very bad winter, people would say, it's a ice-age coming. Gawd it went on for months. Started in December ended somewhere around March I think.

Bit lacking

oof! they fuckingly leaned on that V-Day muzak, hadn't they 💡 queer, how folks around those BI concoct the storybook card as perpetual afterthought 💡💡💡

I am a child of the fifties and this film brings tears to my eyes! The choir singing, the DMU departing and the paper chains all bring the past flooding into memory fresh and exciting as Christmas was in those now far off days. My home was in Eaglescliffe, my bedroom window directly overlooked the 4 track main line. I spent many happy hours watching trains instead of sleeping, listening to the chatter of the crew when halted at a signal, the blaze of the fire when the firebox doors opened and much more! Stupid I know, but I can smell that Christmas tree! I long to go back to those days when my Father would read a Christmas story before bed with only the tree lights on and a coal fire for warmth. Well done to everyone involved in making this video, you had me fooled for a few minutes!

Scene 5:22 ..the man ran towards the train .ohh shit I'm late again 😂😂😂

Wonderful film. If only we could really turn the clock back.

In my part of Canada 🇨🇦 trains are gone and replaced by trucks.

I thought this was trainspotting nostalgia for Vegetarians ?

Absolutely brilliant! Very well done!

A beautful film. I command you to stop making us nostalgic.

Marvellous. An heroic age. Everything spotless, stations being reopened. And, then, Capitalism (greed) destroyed it all.

A capital film. I hope that frightful chap, Dr Beeching, reconsiders his plans.

what a nice film

The narrator's voice sounds like what you might have heard back in the 50's. Aspect ratio is also vintage.

Absolutely loved it. But I would so love to see it in full HD colour, as it would have looked then. Colourful, vibrant and green :)
