This was all filmed at the longmoor military railway which sadly that line is now closed as of today

British trains be like

The inside of the train should be valeted, the outside will be dirty, it’s a working vehicle not an ornament

They do not make comedy like this now Absolutely Hilarious

Paddington when it was real..

The more we travel away from the seventies, the more I love the gritty, non pc, call a spade a spade, good looking birds, stuff h&s times. The real pleasure now is hearing the lefty cry babies moaning about past decades of misogyny, racism and how life was free for the far right to say what they wanted to irrespective of whether you agreed with them or not. So, shut it and put yet trousers on. You're nicked🤣

Pity about the diesel engines all needing replacement well within 10 years !

Todays health and safety wouldnt even ALLOW filming near a 'real live' railway line - its all done on heritage railways now. I noticed a Peak slip in the background there at KX possibly also a Deltic? I love the old 70's series its fun spotting the old rolling stock and stations (many now built over by a Tescos or some cheap awful housing). I think it was a film of the Great train robbery they got the loco wrong - they used a class 37 - the actual robbery train was hauled by a 40!

when I was a kid....oh jesus, I sound like that Monty Python Poor Yorkshiremen sketch - "When I were a lad...!" I used to love Cuneo's work on the Hornby Catalogue, every year!

No TV series captured the 1970s like The Sweeney.

Fabulous video. Nice to see and here the mirlees engine. The loco D5695 is still with us. Preserved 31430.

I'd like to see them re-create some prototype Brush locos with some 47's and 57's that are used for railtours. Even better, they could import DB BR 218's from Germany and re-livery them instead...

All British engineering successive government has killed the UK engineering baxe

They’ve made a lot of TV shows since and non of them compare. It had the lot, great scrip’s, actors, music and locations. The only other two shows worth watching on repeat are The Professionals and Minder. The railway scenes are fantastic.

There were some serious water shortages in 1973-76 so maybe they were trying to save water by not cleaning rolling stock?

A great show!

Hi, does anyone know what music is used in this video or where to find similar music for old railway videos?

It looks fantastic. Class 31 locomotives where in production in 1957.

It's a nice looking locomotive Class 53 Falcon, It's shame it got scrapped since 1976 due to non-standard... after being withdrawn in 1975.

I can’t hear any sound on this.

0:24 The diesel looked up. "Do you mind?" "Yes" said Bill "I do I want my trucks please" "These are mine" said the diesel "Go Away"

I believe that the Hastings DEMUS were an embarrassment to BR at the time of introduction but they were so desperate to get rid of steam that they were nevertheless built and put into service, they had a lovely first class,I remember the buffet car in the units as well

They sound as though they have cattarh

Great to see the 1st built 08 .13000

My next door neighbour Ken Baker was an engineer on the testing phase of the loco. He once claimed they hit 120mph with 10 carriages. They wanted to try for the speed record for a diesel as they only needed to pull 6 coaches in order to qualify. But British Railways refused to build up the camber on some of the curves. If I am rememdering this incorrectly it was 60 years ago

21:00 so why haven't they electrified it by now?

The Class 205 has a black triangle on the non brake van end... You couldn't really walk from one end of a 205 to the other as they were non gangwayed...

When i hear richard bakers voice i always thing of mary, mungo and midge

Saw this a few times, the only one I remember was Exeter on a Northbound train station when the driver let us up into the cab, 69/70?

The grime seems to be synonemen for the UK of that time.

“I001” the Carpet cleaner

From the days we used to make stuff. We need to go back to this and stop importing.

That's the worst filming I've ever seen

That poor train Marshall😂 he's going to end up in a mental asylum by the end of this😂😂😂

I remember this at Sheffield Victoria Station around 1964 or '65.

The Derbyshire footage appears to be showing the old Monsal Head viaduct over the River Wye. Now closed but developed into a brilliant cycle and walking route. This stretch of line was about three miles south of the busy countryside junction at Millersdale which forms part of the same cycle and walking route. Sad we've lost this stretch of line and a magnificent loco but all is not lost with this wonderful location.

I nearly bought one of these but couldnt find a railway that would let me leave her there to work on - end of line.☹ I love the H&S these days ( or rather the lack of it) bloke welding 4:12 right next to his mate who has no goggles or protection on FAG in his mouth🤣😂😅 9:11 British craftsmanship at its best - NO SPRAY GUNS in thise days - COACH PAINTED! I always wondered why the old locos shined like a Rolls Royce..........THAT is why , SUPERB.

The bridge crossing where Regan says ID HATE TO BE THE ONE WHO WRITES THIS ONE UP is North Worple way , East Sheen SW london.❤

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX_Eiaeng5asZtEsi=MfRw-c_UgBi7Ihjn the sweeney new series with john thaw and reece dinsdale

Love these old movies showing manufacture in the 50s and 60s. Just a show of human ingenuity.

The last scene is not north of Kings Cross; more likely southern region with 3rd rail power. Great load of clips, manythanks.

What was the diesel at 6.51? a Class 37 or a Deltic?

❤

A different age; not perfect, but a sh@tload better than today.

Why does the engine rev up and down like that?

Falcon: I’m a good machine, please build my sisters so I’m a class of 53s! British Railways: No! No! That will never do! Build over a hundred Class 17s instead! Falcon: :(

A very smart looking locomotive. Excellent film. Nice to hear Richard Baker.

Best crime drama ever, can almost smell and taste grimey and gritty seventies London, thanks for the memories.

Nice video. The sites and sounds of slam door London. I find that scene with the 4CIG at Mortlake in Sweeney 2 particularly memorable, with the hissing rails of the approaching train adding to the tension. Notice how in the scene immediately prior, when Regan and Carter are climbing the stairs of the footbridge, the sound of a diesel locomotive and coaches is dubbed on as the CIG passes!

Great British stuff❤❤
