I think old people then were more understanding.. which is ironic, cause the old mod and rocker pensioners should be a bit more understanding about young folk now.😂

I wonder how many brown envelopes, carribean holidays and smart motors were circulating to get the centre built. Hasn't even lasted a lifetime hasit? Falling to pieces, riddled with concrete cancer, empty and devoid of anything useful. Now millions will go into the rebuilding.

Wow, I'm 73 years old and just saw myself in the background with black curly hair in the rocker interview. What a shock! I have to say we were encouraged to say something negative about rhe mods . I see my interview was deleted i guess it wasn't rebellious enough. Later i went from being a regular of the Aztec to going to dances at the Blue Moon and dances at the YMCA. Later I decided at age I 19 didn't want to associate as either a mod or a rocker, i just wanted to be me. I bought eleven hand made suits from Bourtons taylors mainly mohair and spent my early days going to the dances at Cheltenham Town Hall. This was followed in my twenties to going to Tramps at the back of Boots the chemists. What memories, hey, ho!

I now live in the North West and tho I wasn't around in the days of steam, I grew up towards the end of the best of diesel era in the early 90s with my favourite train being the HST 125 and the class 37 growler. Before more electric motive power started taking over in the 2000's, I do have an interests in steam also, I wish there was more footage of the West Lancs Railway line between Preston North Union Station to Southport line Via Penwortham Cop Lane station, I would say The Fishergate Hill Terminus but I know the station closed to passengers in 1901 and became goods sidings so theres no chance of video footage of the that station during its glory days, I hope if anyone who has any footage of this line might consider sharing this footage on youtube? If the line was still open I would be able to see it from my window passing the back of my house.

Such a brilliant video. I was brought up in the steam era, and through the change to diesels & electrics, and I still prefer steam. Not enough was done to modernise it, steam locomotives can be made far more efficient than the generally accepted type with a standard locomotive type boiler. More efficient in fact, than most diesels (see the Garrett type loco's with L D Porta Secondary Air admission type boilers on "The railway at the end of the world" in Tierra Del Fuego).

I want to see the country which has built railway projects with great effort and laid railway lines I salute these workers, drivers, engineers, who have delivered big, heavy goods hundreds of miles away. I want to go to this country, I'm sure there won't be enough of these people now, I want to meet their descendants. Will someone help please?

Good film, sound or no sound. I do hope you're not going to re-release this with some horrible jangly background music. It stands well as it is. I managed to recognise a couple of bits ... 13:30 - 1335 ... setting off westwards from Cullen 13:55 - 14:13 ... reaching old Elgin station, presumably bound for Inverness? Then back to filming from Aberdeen 21:50 (Craigellachie) - 22:43 (Boat of Garten) on the Speyside Line. And back to Craigellachie (24:00)
