The steam trains at Chester station used to scare me as a child, big hulking machines all puffing, hissing and clanking but I suppose that’s what people like about them. Got me to Rhyl for the day tho..

Lovely to see proper trains. Brings back so many memories from when I was about 4 or 5 years old. The railway is right at the back of our house in Connah's Quay and I couldn't help wondering if my cousins and I had run out of the house to wave at one of the trains heading to Chester or down the coast to Llandudno or Holyhead. Happy days. 😀❤️🚂🛤

1963 was still a good year for steam 👍. Llandudno is pronounced pretty well concerning the Ll but it is ‘did’ not ‘dud’. In Welsh, the letter ‘u’ is pronounced ‘i’. The Welsh alphabet is very phonetic and Welsh spellings are far more rational than in English. Just about the only problem is the distinction between i and u, known as ‘i dot ac u benol’. These often sound the same.

Lovely. I always enjoyed visiting Chester, although it was more than ten years after this was filmed. Still, nice to see some Midland engines, even if they (sadly) look run down

@@Steve14ps Yes indeed, sadly like Chester Northgate, you'd never even realise that a station even used to be there :( although you can walk down some of the route (and I have).
