Get your Alan Whickers off and press Play. 😂😂😂

Stuck on a cramped train for 25 hours or so isn’t my kind of fun but put a film crew on board and see how many people want to be seen doing just that🥴

There’s two ways of doing things the great western way or the wrong way

orient express was the name of our local takeaway.

That's when england was still england.

Great video Its a shame to think most on the film will have now taken there last journey from life

Jolly hockey sticks - what! what! 😜

38:35 here’s our new King Charles lll now the king of Britain as of today

13:49 today there is no coaling stage at King’s Cross anymore

Is that Jeremy Clarkson in the background at 3:32?

Love a bit of 'nostalgia' however there is nothing to love here. Reptilian people who rightly belong in history with their disgusting furs, vile smoking habits and blinkered views. Supremely interesting and informative all the same of course. 😂👍🏼

Who knew that Liza Minnelli was married to Ellis from Die Hard.

Beautiful stuff from the lovely Alan wicker. Thank you ❤❤❤

astonishing. And the reporter's clothes - like out of the 1920s almost

£500

Wonderful. I watched this in 1982 and went on VSOE in 1985 with my mother to mark her retirement. Nigel Dempster is spot on about a experience you will never forget. Unlike modern documentaries not ever second is packed with a host who feels they have to say something meaningless. Whicker is brilliant, his final concluding sentence is genius..

They should have retained the old Westrail name and logo. The new Transperth id is ugly!

Where was this televised at the time?

Do you have one of the Flying Scotsman 1989?

10:22 The British Rail arrows are the wrong way round

Nigel Dempster!

Excellent video.

Thank you so much for keeping these documentaries alive and available

At 6:50 when Alan Whicker say the train is pulled by a diesel, the locomotive is a class 73 electric, powered by third-rail at 750V DC. Class 73 locomotives do have a small diesel engine for running in non-electrified areas, but not for hauling this passenger train.

An experience is always worth the money.

Ylou do mot know class.

Worked in the locomotives shed in kalgoolie 1989 1990 what shithole and worked with arseholes

Nice train shame about the w⚓s inside ...🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🤪💩

Pre Channel tunnel.

Thanks to James Sherwood for saving this beautiful train.

Liza Minnelli. Who was her partner here ?

Now costing more like 5000 pounds.

Wonderful. ❤

I do enjoy this documentary very much. Though it’s curious they missed out the 15xx class, despite showing video of it at Paddington right at the beginning.

No way those spectators would be allowed where they are today yet nobody got hurt by the train or the hot steam from the cylinder drains.Unfortunately common sense and being responsible for your own safety has gone out the window along with the shear enjoyment of mainline steam in Western Australia.

Hi Kev, I'd really like to get in touch with you about the possibility of using some of your great footage. Could you please drop me an email at info@greensignals.org to discuss? Many thanks, Stef

My father worked in the 'box at Campbelltown in the 60's &70's used to love watching the steamers working

1.3km a WEEK. When the line was put through to Darwin from Alice Springs, it was kilometres per DAY. Lots of shovel leaning, in W.A.

3:22 I think that Pannier tank is sleeping…

I remembered the Kenwick Railway Overpass at 40:48. The old Kenwick Railway Overpass used to carried the Armadale Line over the freight line when the freight line used to cross the Albany Highway that ran parallel to the Armadale Line. When the WA Government built the Roe Highway Extension, they removed the freight line level crossing signals and elevated the Albany Highway over the freight line and did the same at Thornlie when they built the Thornlie Spur to Thornlie Station.

I like the words - and the music of course - on the reopening of the K&ES railway… (Why didn’t they get Joe Brown to sing?)

Quite - nay - very sad the demise of steam…and I agree with the narrator as regards the « evil smelly box » that was diesel…

Liverpool Street Station scenes….The thought of those passengers getting the carriage doors closed from their risky inside carriage positions and with real risks of getting their fingers pinched let alone squeezed in their daring but necessary operation to close the swinging doors really gives me a right nasty and uneasy reaction…

Great films. I wish they would have lightened them up for better viewing though.

20:17 what on earth is that rear coach???

Great stuff thank-you! Carousel around that time would have only been opened about 3 years. Once it got busier the need for easier connectivity I suppose played a part in moving the station down adjacent to Cecil Ave.

Very enjoyable video.

40:45 sadly Swindon works is no longer here

21:25 this year is my lucky year because I’ve just managed to see blue Peter for the first time of my life and it was also her very first time ever at the Severn valley railway station
