As you would expect the vintage views are so much more interesting than the contemporary railway. But you do notice the extraordinary amount of smoke and steam which won't be missed by the neighbours. Of course the modern railway is supposed to be so much more efficient, but who ever wanted an epitaph that read "He led an efficient life"?

Absolutely. Platform 10 was the perfect place to spend Saturday morning in 1960-62 and if you knew the way it was possible to bunk 34A via the door by the coal drops. Thanks for producing such an evocative film.

I can’t tell you all the emotions, memories and reminiscences this has given me. Born in 1950, the son of a GER and the LNER signalman, inevitably I had steam in my blood and my dad’s annual allocation of free passes and privilege tickets at my disposal. Short trousers, Ian Allen books, 2 sandwiches and a tuppeny-happeny platform ticket saw me from about the age of 7 or 8 until I was 16, land via Liverpool Street onto the platforms of all the major London termini, my favourite (somewhat biasly in truth) being Kings Cross. Can you imagine an 8 yr old travelling on his own 117 miles from Oulton Broad South (nr Lowestoft) today, including tube travel? For the entire day I’d sit at the platform ends and watch the famous named expresses depart, with my Ian Allen books never closing and with the hope I would be given the chance of being able to ‘cab’ the odd loco. A4s were a joy as they were never seen on the East Anglian lines, unless I ventured as far afield as Peterborough, which I did occasionally. I would relive this period of my life again given the chance, in a heartbeat, irrespective of the short trousers and smut covered clothes and face.

I look back like yourself 1959 at Southall age 10 travelling to Paddington, or in the sheds at Southall climbing on 9f locos no doubt wanting to be scraped , despite seeing the Evening Star pulling passenger trains at 90mph brand new !also Warship class Diesel D800 some times double headed with a steam loco, I also traced on my own to Ashford Kent , I still don’t remember much about the journey, went to see an Aunt and my gran, I don’t know if my mother knew , but remember we had no mobile phones or even phone at home, I cannot think of my grandson doing that today, we must have been very mature for our age, but great memories, my only regret is I could not afford a camera from good old Woolworth at the time, my travel money was raised by returning pop bottles to the local shop for the deposit,we lived in Osterley Park people used to jut dump them , the old soapbox cart was useful for that.fun times, Watford Junction was also another trip out A4s flying down the track! We certainly got around for our age, great video thanks!

As records go one of the best and well segmented. Peter Townend's book was publ. by Ian Allen and reprinted t least once in 1977. It has many excellent B & W pictures .Film stock and 8mm cameras did not do justice in the 1950s to the clear reality of the scenes once the London Clean Air Act was enforced.

I believe this film was made circa 2004 as it mentions the recent introduction of class 222 on ECML and this was 31st May 2004. The most recent number plate on vehicles shown in the "present" Kings Cross is an "04" plate which rather endorses this. It's a very interesting and professionally produced record of probably our most iconic station.

Its amazing how watching film like this bring back memories I had long forgotten. Seeing all the smoke brought back traveling in the sash windowed non-corridor carriages and as a boy I would lower the window so I could stick my head out. Inevitably there would be a rebuke "close the window you're letting the smuts in"! Either that or the window would be closed for me. As a boy very frustrating 🤣

Um are you sure. The inside cylinder ran hot which is why it came off at Peterborough. The bearings were remettaled at New England and it spent a week at Doncaster works being examined further. It was back in traffic 9 days after the record breaking run. Not exactly needing rebuilding?
