Hi

Every weekend we used to cycle down to Lydiard down that railway. Swindon, so full of promise.

Love the synthwave music.

its what it looks like now. A right dump.

The old footage is great but that music is awful. 😣 I had to watch with no sound!

It looks so different now trees have taken over from where trains once ran

Swindon a great town fastest growing in Europe a home is for sale sold within three days all over town if people think it shit place why do so many people move here a town for the future if the council allows it

They have destroyed our history they should be in city for crimes against humanity

You missed Kempster Guitar shop it was worth a mention as it is still there trading 2020

I got these DVDS

Still live there, it's a dump

Love the old M&SWJR, nice footage.

Thanks for posting. So sad, and stupid that this line has gone.

What a great collection of videos, thourally enjoyed them thank you very much for posting them

Went to Swindon railway works museum last year and most of the town looks like a 1980s that has been forgotten. Looked like a total dump now most of it to be fair

Bloody crying shame the railway works isn't still fully operational and the size that it was. Adding to that the car factory going I bet there was many many thousands of people out of work

Great film. What year was it put together, early 1990s?

The gwr must have been the place to work back in the day

Good video thanks for posting. I imagine an awful lot of people worked in the railway works. Why did they knock it all down then? Was it slum housing conditions?

I think it looks better back then than now..... I haven't been there in years till a few years ago and it was really terrible

Please make that "music" stop!!!!

@ 3.42 - How did you walk through that bollard?!?

Sod the video, the music is awesome! lol Thanks for the vid! I'm from Swindon and have enjoyed a trip down memory lane

God.. what an absolute shit hole this town is, even back then it looked worse than it does now, all boarded up shops & papered up old bars on the high street, scatty old penhill.... ugh makes me wanna throw up just looking at it

Not sure what's worse, the destruction or the music on the video

I learnt about the demolition of Swindon in class today. Being young, free and verrry single, I feel I need someone to guide me gently through blow-by-blow..

God that music!

Charmless Swindon

This video seems to be broken!?

Nice video

What a dump
