Ahh, my spotting days 1964 - 1969, great times, but I never thought as a nipper that the steam locos would end.

Very interesting, evocative film. Depicts the gradual decline of the railways, almost dying on it's feet.

The railways back then were things of beauty unlike todays anodine, brutalist, functional hellscapes

[@locoshed1977]

They were. Wish I could have seen them...

[@stokes8762]

@@locoshed1977 I wish I could go back, would have been the perfect hobby now I've finished work.

Loved this vid as I traveled to Hornsea several times before closure. Swine is quiet near the station but has only a tiny group of houses - very little trade for the railway.

Excellent - really interesting

Glad you enjoyed it.

This film makes me feel nostalgic for the 1950's Modernisation Plan DMU's. In the 70's they seemed to be everywhere and as a young trainspotter I found them very boring and not a "proper" train, i.e. one with an engine and coaches.

Thanks. At time stop 3:27, that is Ottringham Baulk crossing, now a chi-chi little cottage. Many times did I travel that line, it has so many associated memories!

Marsden rail no.31. yorkshire byways..

[@davefrench3608]

And trolleybuses too

[@locoshed1977]

Love a good trolleybus...

[@normandunford5747]

Utterly despicable, what Beeching & co did to the rail system. The government at the time were just sick.

[@bobtudbury8505]

what are you talking about?

[@PollieBrooon-cz5yg]

Six years of devastation by Harold Wilson and Labour.

[@MichaelTaylor-ei7es]

Ernest Marples was the Minister of Transport at the time. Before he took office he sold a big chunk of his is road building company to his wife. His company helped build miles and miles of motorways. He went to live in Monte Carlo when he retired.

[@bobtudbury8505]

@@MichaelTaylor-ei7es excellent, i am glad he built roads, the car gave the working class the biggest freedom ever. Marples closed nothing , beeching too. he had no power. the report completed in 1963 was sat on until labour came to power in 1965. they , LABOUR, slaughtered the lines . they did not close all of the lines on beechings list but they did close 100's of extra miles not on the list, Labour, careful who you vote for

[@alg6576]

Destroyed Withernsea with the stroke of Marples road building pen.

we need decay -we need failure -for itself, not to illustrate success - all that's in abeyance is good for us - all that's in obedience is bad - keep away - keep away from efficiency, from performance, from reason, from great plans to transform the universe or your local area - so much will be lost - so much will be crushed under the foot of ruthless progress - the hard, unseeing will of all-dominating humanity inevitably leads to conflict, pain and destruction - nature's revenge for being so badly mistreated

Good job greta did not exist then. 1964 a much better time than 2024.
