Myself & a friend travelled this line on 12.08.64 behind 41206. We,also travelled all the other lines of the L.S.W.R. Withered Arm” & the S.& D.J. as they were all under threat then. Many thanks for the memories evoked.
A most interesting look back at the quieter and slower past. I've only recently become interested in Brit railways, and have traced this line, amongst others, when I get into my "Where did it go" mood - google Earth has proven a great source for tracing old rights of way. Thankyou for presenting this video to the world... I hope you get 1000s of views. I do have, unfortunately, a couple of quibbles. It would have been easier to follow if you'd put some identification markers during the over-flights - just a village name, a point of interest, etc. The second is that John Snell's voice-over from around the 31 minute mark was made difficult to hear because of the (squark-y) music. Other than those, an entertaining video.
Another case of Beeching almost foiled in his indifference due to there being no road beyond Gunnislake. Plans are afoot to bring it back to Callington.
@@AarchiveRailways No worries. It looks like an interesting set of rolling stock and suitable for a micro layout, I already have most of it in OO so good to know a prototypical mixed train existed. Thank you for the reply 👍
That was brilliant I really enjoyed it
Thank you so much

Who’s that handsome guard changing the points at Bere Alston? I do believe it’s me!
That's great! 😀
Greetings from Switzerland. Thanks for great footage of times past. I did the return trip from Gunnislake to North Road, Plymouth last year. 😀
Excellent video. Thank you. More needed documenting ex LSWR lines west of Exeter.
Greetings from an Australian rail fan. A fantastic piece of history and well produced.
Amazing film. Thankyou so much for that!

for Geoff Savage Deffers!
Fantastic videos as always, what Is the clarinet music playing please?
As I remember, it was written for us by a friend of my dad's. The rest of the music would have been from copyright free music we used to use.
Yes, I'd like to know more about the Clarinet music too please
If I may ask, where is the photo at 41:56 from please?
I'm sorry, but I don't know. It was dad who originally complied all of the photos and permission to use them.
