Some of these shots are world class. So beautiful and atmospheric.

what a superb illustration of the boring goods traffic by Lichfield High Level. I biked 18 miles from West Brom to see the semis etc on Lichfield Low Level. The station was not a comfortable location for spotters so I found a railway embankment just north of the station where I could lie comfortably before the long drag home.

Excellent footage, the landscape has changed a lot, yet actually you can still see all of these location now, just built on!

So much more evocative than videos which are shot today . . . in which the technical quality is often too high and the locos always too clean.

We're still ditting on an awful lot of coal of its ever needed. At the weekend a coal fired power station was fired up, due to the lack of wind, turbines still and the extreme heat reduces the efficiency of the solar farms, welcome to the future, blackouts .😮😂

I recognise Lichfield TV HL but I dont recognise the other, larger station. Is that Lichfiled City or Burton on Trent? Great movie by the way.

Just what was Heath's mania about ever taking us in? Just some vague notion that by trading with France and Germany would miraculously transform our ailing, stagnant economy. Our problems were home grown, not least backward, dinosaur trade unions holding industry and society to ransom. By 1979, they were more like the mafia.

That section at 14:20 with 43002 on a WRS special. I don't recognise the station. Any ideas?
