Did you film any of The BBC Doctor Who display??? Would love to know!!!

Wow…,. Unbelievable how the island has changed so drastically for the worse in the last 40 years .😢

Just as I remember it in 1972! Souvlaki at the stations from kids on platform. Wonderful! Badly missed David

It is incredibly rare to see almost all of the old rolling stock in a really old video.

these are the old ones

Could this line be used for a new Anfield passenger train station?

Anyone remember the shark jumping out of the wall at the aquarium making people scream!? Good ol' days!

Dr Fuord see your way recess fund to get steam future giod now

Wow. I was there in 1984. I was almost seven at the time. The motor museum had a Sherman tank, a train carriage used by Hitler and a car used by Montgomery. It was on the left inside the door, the tank back right and a US truck far right. The bunker had a heavy machine gun of some sort with a seat on it. There was food packages, a wooden gun used by a POW and horseshoes from Polish cavalry horses used by the Germans. I even remember playing on that gun in the last frame. It, the underground hospital and finding random coastal defences on the hillside over St.Brelade’s Bay were the big highlights for almost 7 year old me.

Ποια χρόνια είναι αυτή;

First Holiday in Jersey - June 1980, the cable cars had stopped running not long before, lovely view over St.Helier and St.Aubin's Bay... so much has changed over the years, and a great lot not necessarily for the best 😟, and Fort Regent effectively left to rot 😥

I worked in the cable car ticket office in the 80's. Also worked in the Postal Museum and Titania's Palace. Fort Regent was such a fun place and with lots of people around. There was loads for kids to do and an afternoon show for them - i remember getting very tired of hearin 'Rupert, Rupert the bear ...' while there. Pity it can't be restored to somewhere for tourists to go and take their kids. I say a resounding NO to a hotel (there are enough), housing and a casino. I like the idea of shops, skateboard park, pool, crazy golf, educational stuff, FUN THINGS, shows - saw quite a few concerts back 'in the day'. Come on powers that will make these decisions listen to the islanders and help to give tourism a boost.

The good old days in Jersey.

Where’s does this branch line end up please ?

These were the days. Go swimming, play some Golden Axe outside the viewing gallery and then sausage & chips in the cafe. Jersey used to be a cool place.

Get it open as a heritage line,tourist attraction asap.Money coming.Beautiful landscape.IAWN🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Excellent video.

Hi 08eccleston, I'm currently working on a TV show and will be following the upcoming demolition of the Fort Regent Cable Car system. We'd love to use your video within our show to show the area at work. My email address is [email protected]. Many thanks, Chris

It was probably one of the shortest cable car rides ever! The video suggests it took about 30 seconds to reach the pylon, and then a bit more to the upper cable car station. For the first bit of that ride the view was mostly of the car park below which wasn't exactly scintillating! If only they had had the vision to site the cable cars at the Weighbridge side things might have been different. Easy access to the Fort has always been a problem, so putting the lower cable car station next to the bus station would have made much more sense. And the views of St Aubin's Bay would have been much more dramatic. The Fort's leisure complex was visionary when it was first conceived, although it was diluted down as it got built. But the real problem (as others have pointed out) was that Jersey's government simply became uninterested in the tourism industry because it preferred finance. The brutal truth is that Jersey didn't 'lose' its tourism industry. It turned its back on it.

Wow, I was talking about this yesterday which what lead me to this video, we were sat on the Fezzy park eating a maccy d's and I mentioned about how it used to be, nobody could remember but then they are younger than me, I remember coming here with school when I was about 11, such a shame it closed, what a beautiful place it was

OMG this brings back memories for me in my childhood living in Weymouth,Dorset also lived on the Isle Of Portland,Dorset.....at 2.54 you will see a big wheel on the left hand side of the video i use to work at that exact fair when i was a kid growing up in the late 1970s to the 1980's.

Money in that. Cymru am byth.Beautiful scenery 🐎🐐🐐

At the time of writing this note, August 2017, this line is currently the subject of intense activity to reopen it. I am certain all the volunteers there would love to see this footage, which I imagine was taken from a special charter DMU. Do you have a date for it?

fort regent after a swim up in the cafe above the pool plate of chips covered in red sauce

yo trabaje en el hotel de la plage en verano del 84, grandes recuerdos en el ford regent

What a shame the ' Cable Cars ' are gone, The States of Jersey have let The Fort get run down , by closing The Pool also, sadly now a shadow of what it was Years Ago !

is it possible to walk the line now?I've often been tempted whilst stepping off the festiniog trains and having a sneaky look

went on this in 84. sad it has now gone.

fabulous!

Nice old footage here

I can remember those waterfalls. First time I've thought of them since I was there at the age of 7.

Thanks for uploading. My family visited quite a lot times during the year, (from south-east Staffordshire). I was 7 years old at the time. This is the first moving footage I've seen since I was there.
