Thank you for sharing this film - I didn't even know it existed. So sad, to see the last train before final closure. If only all those people present had used the line in the years before hand.......
I understand the buses was a lot quicker than the train. while they had finished passenger services I understand they still ran goods trains for a few more days before the line really closed down. everything remained in place during the 1930s before the stock and rails was cut up for scrap for the war effort. sleepers was sold for fire wood. some thought they could reopen the railway to help the war effort but this never happened
