If only Mr Beeching was alive to see how crap the trains and buses are now.

This clip should be set in stone for future generations, Protect the game of football at all costs

as people have said at least 1/3 of what was closed would be very well used these days if had no been ripped up

The best of times with analogue synths.

I have never understood how Christine lived if she was not a Working Girl. Did Ward pick all her expenses? Also, Mandy. Same situation. And then there is the drug issue. Using and dealing?

The railways were already losing freight to the roads by the time the Beeching report came along

A lot of folk think that the Synth Player is Vince Clarke. It is not Vince Clarke. It is Stephen Luscombe.

And 5 years later the navy went to the Falklands

I was there on a sight seeing trip on a bored boat we went up and down the lanes - we’ll remember the A4s and Sea Kings on HMAS Melbourne / I took loads of pics but can’t find any of them!

7:21 "bloody tree" was replaced with "Christmas tree" as per BBC demand

They could move half a million tons of coal a week. Now we have no mines and no coal fired power stations. Even though we have enough coal for 300 years.

33:00 "We want to expand Thameslink and build Crossrail"... well we got there in the end. Only took 30 years!

Cockneys used to be in the east end now cockneys are from Southend. Weird

These replaced the Class 206 Tadpoles on the North Down Line. They both had their merits. I liked these because if (1) the driver didnt drop the blind and (2) it wasn't in 1st class you got a front row drivers eye view! All the air brake and aws noises.

Thanks. I went with my family July 1978 Minehead butlins 8 years old and me and my dad had our ears pierced. Toot and Ploot. Massive indoor swimming pool.

Two people who don't like each other. One played a part in my life and the other virtually nothing

The most underrated

Once upon a time a country called Great Britain had a Royal Navy

Would like to find a source to buy this series. Maybe someone recorded it on DVD off the air.?

paint goes dry ?yeah maybe after 5 years ! goody and boles were definetly fitted up ! and the poppy another era before the 50s!

Great upload👍. bring back blackthorn ads!!👍

So "Blind Vision" is actually from 1982? Some say it is from 1983, anyway they are also pioneers of synthpop, very underrated

This played on mtv one night and it was the first time I saw them! And I fell in love with

Equinox has no ‘e’ on the end…

Hi There Again my real Name is Mr Cannadine T. Boxill-Harris, I have another interesting idea for most of us Class 507, Class 508, Class 313, and Class 314 and that also includes those interesting Class 315 Fans out there, rather than scrapping most of those Class 507, Class 508, Class 313's Class 314 including the Class 315's maybe you guys can convert them.

Are you still going to do this interesting type of Project for all of us out there Please?

Has part two of this been removed?

So good! X

Too many on the job. Mischief in small numbers is always more successful.

When was this filmed?

How many people went to the gallows due to police corruption...I speculate a lot. Police corruption led to written interviews being scrapped for taped and videoed evidence. Police corruption in this era was rife.

Who's the posho interviewer he's great 🥱

Stephen Ward was definitely the scapegoat for the so called Establishment.

Is the Jupiter 8 playing the arpegiators too ? - what drum machine is that

My grandad once told me he found bundles off notes and dug a hole then whent back and the railway had remodenised the tracks he said there was over £9.000 he said there was loads off other people found staches them days you keep your mouth shut

Loved this.

And here we are 35 years later with a fragmented railway network where individual railway companies consistently under invest and under-perform, ticket prices are astronomical, and where profits go to shareholders. Privatisation really was a fantastic idea, as long as you think that profits rather than service quality, are what you want.

It is a live performance! Back then the youngsters really needed to have musical skills. Glad that I grew up in the 80s.

I was lucky enough to be allowed to take close up photos of lindow man some years ago. Only ever dug roman remains up when studying field archaeology

there have been so many advances over the years one being bogies. todays fastest trains have one set of bogies connecting two cars making a far stiffer train with less rocking and another advance is long lengths of tracks without joints except for expansion and contraction thus making the ride very smooth and quiet. then we have the electric motors in almost every wheel set.

old ones are the best reminds me of childhood brilliant

Simply awesome!❤

"we're running the railways not the Europeans" now it's like which nation hasnt had a chance of ruining our railway. .

Well would you believe it even in them days the elite like Harold Wilson was travelling in first class

I had a good friend and ferret that both passed away last year. My friend and I would put this on often and say that the polecat in this was our ferret's old relative. We loved watching this so much. The ending always got me, too. Something about a ferret having to leave off on it's own just breaks my heart. I hope it lived a happy and full life like its mother.

Always been my favorite song from the 80's Blancmange definitely did an amazing job on this song always watching this on MTV was my go to video very masterful without a doubt

And lable me a doomer thatll be true to some , but to do the ballsiest move wouldve been to ripp it up , close all to show how truely important and efficient rails are , allas who could put the fork into the metaphorical outlet......

I know this has less to do with ectual matter, well to some degree , but the music and groggy dampness of these shots , its britain how it really was like back then , and to some extend the transport too

Beautiful

Amazing documentary - discovered by accident when searching for a very different episode of Horizon! Recognised the voice of a young Sir Partick Vallance instantly!! Fascinating having learnt about the effects of NO but had assumed that it wasn't a new startling discovery - and had ni idea of the history behind it
