- In this episode we take a closer look at the achievements and aspirations of The North Dorset Railway at Shillingstone.
We discuss the feasibility of re-instating part of the original track bed from here to Sturminster Newton, and show behind the scenes footage of the railway's current activities.
Local politicians and town councils show their support for the project, and good progress has already began on extending the line Northwards to Lamb Bridge.
Small scale operations may even begin in the next couple of years!
....and we meet some of the volunteers, and they tell us what it means to them to volunteer on the railway.
Fantastic to see the S&D returning at various locations. These little acorns will one day become mighty oaks.
At the moment, locals might call them Child Oaks.
Have been following the North Dorset Railway project from the S. Hemisphere. Probably never be able to return to see it in person. These videos from all over UK keep me in touch with progress, and NDR in particular, as one day, long, long ago I visited Shillingstone as 12 year old, and never forgotten that day!
Good luck with this project. Ridiculous to close Bath to Bournemouth in the first place.
Fabulous and informative video. Total respect to all the volunteers who have worked so hard to get the NDR where it is today! Love the mix of dronography and video footage in the film. Total admiration at the dedication and commitment from you all. Well done to all involved. Can't wait to have a brake van ride 😉
Absolutely superb. The sight of 'that' tennis court being dug up is incredible. Good luck with the project and all the best for 2023!
As a member of the watercress line l wish everyone involved with the North Dorset good luck I sure sturminster will hear the whistle of a steam engine!!
Very very fine presentation.
Excellent documentary - filming, scripting, soundtrack, narration and editing. I'm off to Shillingstone - see you there...!
Full Marks, Brilliant!!!
I come from Poole and did work experience with the cycle hire in Brockenhurst that had that GUV van when I was about 15, never thought I'd see that move! That's awesome to see that it'll be restored and used once again.
Great video James, Some great camera work and up-to-date as well. Many thanks
Thanks Gavin, and especially for your info on the Stur grain store.
10K Views can't be wrong! 👍 Many people love what you're doing! 😁
Keep it up!🤸
Quality production! - Informative and interesting👏
Superb presentation
Many Thanks!👍
Whilst watching this lovely nostalgic, informative, professionally produced video at my home near the northern end of the S&D at Bradford on Avon Wiltshire has kindled a desire within me to visit Shillingstone station during the coming summer months... Thank You !
Lovely praise, thanks so much!🚂🙂
Well presented and informative
My old local town - great to see
Absolutely wonderful. Up there with Jack Hargreaves
Where do you go from there, Stur, of course! Over the bridge and on!! Others have done it!
And I'm sure, so will you! Thanks for your Comment! 😊
Interesting.
Great to see what's happening on this railway. Many thanks.
Omg what an awesome film,seems to be progressing well,cant wait to visit it one day
The S&D may be dead, but it refuses to lie down. More power to your project and like enterprises along the line.
Can I not persuade you to rephrase, perhaps replacing that dread word with another such as "hibernating"?
how lovely to see....
An evocative and emotional presentation. Good luck with the project!
My grandfather was a porter/signalman at Shillingstone for many years.
Wow very amazing
Good luck.
Thanks!
Good luck with the project, fortune favours the bold :)
Well done chaps, good work.
Great informative video, used to live near by and watched the station grow. Good to see the project coming along. Many thanks for sharing :)
I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
I have watched Shillingstone station go from active to derelict to it's current phoenix like state ! Truly wonderful ! On the Sunday night the station closed I travelled to Blandford on the VERY LAST steam train to run on the line. Roll on to Sturminster.
Thanks for the info!
Good film, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice film. As a Boy lived in Spetisbury & Blandford in 1950s to 1961 .
Further to my previous post, I saw the GUV an at Brockenhurst on three occasions. We had hoped to do the cycle hire, but didn’t manage it in the end.
One recent thing which I thought was rather pathetic was the removal or theft of the old crimson and cream car park sign from the road to Shaftesbury within Sturminster Newton, the sign had survived Beeching and had been quite a feature then saw it had gone this last year. It originally pointed to the station car park but had been moved round to point to the industrial estate area at some point but it was proper British Railways and apart from a little sunfading was in pretty good nick.
They killed the line around 1963 when they routed the Pines Express via Reading instead of via Bath Green Park.
🚂🚂👍👍
EXCELLENT VIDEO - BUT
Excellent video of a most worthwhile project, with a wonderful army of volunteers....BUT.....far to much high-viz vest wearing, which is completely unnecessary. Even the hard hats are questionable .....
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway make the same mistake, with far too much high-viz vest wearing. Pickering Station being a particularly bad example of this.....
More imagination called for here altogether.....

Unfortunately, it is the law! 😳
@@RailFlicks
Sorry but you are mistaken. There is no such law. Individual Preserved Railways are able to determine the use or otherwise of high-viz vests, depending on the working environment. The individual volunteer is able to determine the appropriateness of if they have to wear one also.
@@jameshennighan8193 However did we manage without high viz in the past. Like some road markings, in time people get used to them and don't notice them, then we will need a helmet with flashing LED's!!!!!!!
@@levelcrossing150
You are correct, but the over-concentration on Health & Safety, or more specifically the determination that Health & Safety governs even the most minute of activities and action is the problem.
When this happens common sense goes out of the window. As does the fact that we are responsible for our own actions.
When the politicians get involved the general belief that more and more legislation is called for becomes accepted.
Contrary to popular belief we are no longer pushing children up chimneys to clean them.
Clearly accidents can and do happen, and we do our best to minimise the risks.
Unfortunately not everything, be it accident or mishap, can be prevented.
Far too many people think that they can.

@@jameshennighan8193 I find it worrying that more pedestrians will not take responsibility for their actions, many will now walk out in front of a moving car without even looking. Cars are now being made to look that they are bad things, bad for the people and for the environment therefore should not be on our roads. It's as if we are telling them that that it will be the motorists fault if an accident occurs.
Yes, they're volunteers and good for them but...
(16:36) what on earth does he think he's doing not even bothering to brush off, let alone rub down the crossing gate disc before painting it?
One of the iconic features of the infrastructure, this totally dumbfounding waste of time doesn't bode well for the respect and thought that should be given to the rest of the station.
Yes sorry, we staged that paint job! He went back and did it properly later! We were on a tight filming schedule that day!! 😀
@@RailFlicks Thank you. It didn't sit well with me.
Hint: Don't mix your music louder than the speech. No idea what you were saying.
Hi There, yes there are issues with devices that don't properly support or handle Dolby Digital Sound in RUclips Uploads. Try another playback device, hopefully that should resolve it.
@@RailFlicks Same here, had to turn the sound off and use subtitles
@@whitevanman6883 Out of curiousity, was the playback device a phone?
The destruction of the S&D was a crime and perpretraitors are all dead what a waste 😮😢
music way too loud.... and unnecessary!
Problem is, the drone does not record sound so you'd have large sections of absolute silence. If the sound balance between commentary and music is incorrect, it's probably because the playback device does not support Dolby Digital sound. Have you tried it on a TV?
