I used to live opposite the Junction, and when I heard they were closing the line circa 1975, I made some late calls to Sir Stanley Yapp, Chairman of WMCC (If my memory serves me well.) He didn't take to me an ordinary person phoning him but he apparently found the money to keep the line open. Maybe I saved the line. Or maybe other considerations came into play. So thanks for the video reminding me that the line is flourishing. (PS I used it a lot and often got a ride with the driver up front in the old 'Bubble Car' Class 121 .)

i used the line when it was steam powered and twin track
This could be driverless.
Ugly little Bubble car remindsme of the landing crafts in the 80s series V.
It has a charm of its own ...
@@tracksideshorts2361As Vicki on All The Stations said “It’s the cutest train I’ve ever seen”.
This was actually filmed at the rear of the train and then reversed? The sound is unbearable.
God yeah, the sound is awful
Yes you're right. Sorry the sound offends you.
The sound only varies when it goes over the points and rail joins at the Junction.
