The Coach Travellers - Nostalgic Colour film.

[@Ianjeffery2500]

Breaks my heart to see the grotesque way this country has evolved. I lived through theses wonderful times and revel in the fact they will never leave my memory.

[@geoffcrisp7225]

My parents didn't own a car in the 50's so we often went to the coast by coach for the day or a two week holiday. It was cheaper than by train.

I was the same. Bournemouth, Skegness, Blackpool, Rhyl, Barmouth, Great Yarmouth.

[@peterhunt2723]

Wonderful days, I’m 83 now, god help my granddaughter in the future!

They won't know any different unless they watch a video like this, then they probably won't believe how it was.

[@gordonb1249]

Thanks again jane..wish we could go back..pure and simple

[@feline1104]

Yes, that's how I feel too. x

[@TeddyBear-ii4yc]

I could ditto that. I wondered where England had gone to? The bus with a Dulux advert. All those brands that were built on a history (reputation) of making good products. I tried to buy a black wool overcoat recently. There are so few gents outfitters now and department stores are likewise. It just makes me nostalgic for those simpler times an earlier poster remarked on. P. S. I'm now an "awld git" the same as the tweed-wearing, ex-corporal, Capt. Mannering look-a-likes who used to admonish one while walking to their allotments. 👍

@TeddyBear-ii4yc Gent clothes shop?. I think they are completely extinct. Haven't seen one in years.

[@davids8449]

Living in North Wales I used Crosville services a lot I well remember in 1959 the bus conductor giving me a small roll of Tickets on the bus which I still have Happy days which unfortunately have long gone forever

[@reynardbizzar5461]

Wow🎉 Bournemouth bus and coach station!! My god , there’s even the prototype Bristol RE coach at 17.39. What a film , filled with MWs , and then some Lodekkas of Crosville and Hanta and Dorset.

[@feline1104]

Thank you. What a great and enthusiastic comment, much appreciated. These films are indeed so informative and also rather nostalgic. xx

[@WallaseyanTube]

Well spotted.

[@nickb5391]

Looks like they were filmed in the early 60's, if we could only turn back time to these beautiful times in Great Britain!

[@WallaseyanTube]

The film is dated 1965 but it may have been filmed in 1964.

[@bagpuss998]

Lovely times with out I phones and fast cars “ very relaxing , 👍

[@shadow-Sun]

This Great Britain lost now never to return , the slow demise of my country for all the reasons you all know and there are many , makes me really sad .we as a once great nation have been slowly dying decade by decade since this film was made and I worry for my childrens future in terms of quality of life that we all enjoyed once upon a time .

[@andrewnelson3681]

I agree. The worst thing, is that it’s been done deliberately and is happening to every western nation.

[@swanvictor887]

Yes indeed....If ONLY YOU had raised your children and grandchildren better...the UK perhaps wouldn't be such a mess that it looks today and the white trash I see lounging around council estates wouldn't be so awful. If you want to find why England has sunk so low...look in the mirror. 1-8-2024: update: just saw an example of "Fine Upstanding White English men"....throwing a riot and attacking grieving families and police officers in Southport, after three very young children were stabbed to death by a deranged man: a sick act and an even worse response from fine upstanding English Scum. Yes....your olde England has gone....you threw it away.

[@Jefferson1969-u4s]

100% agree. I left in 2010 because the life contained in this wonderful film has gone forever. These people have mostly passed on, but they would be appalled by what has become of our once great nation.

I smiled all thru that. It was shown on Talking Pictures tonight. I loved the look at how the English used to live and remember bits of it. 👍

[@grahamtaylor5897]

Charming. Delightful.

[@mickfromaustralia902]

Perhaps the most charming advertisement ever made? Surely a nicer world :)

[@feline1104]

They knew how to do it then Mick. An indirect and more subtle approach appealiing to the heart. Thank you, and I do agree a nicer world indeed.

[@spleeeen4it]

Lovely bit of nostalgia, thank god for KZbin because you don't see this sort of thing on today's dumbed down TV .

[@seigneurjesuistoipshaw.5359]

A brief moment of pride.

It wasn't that brief, it lasted about 30 years. 1950 to 1980 I'd say.

[@timothycook5880]

Great video of better times. Simple and English.

[@davidlee6720]

wish i could go back, methinks England is done now. The older ones remind me of all my long lost relatives of yore, Those times will never return - mores the pity, Music reminds me of the film Genevieve. Think it may well be. The great Larry Adler.

[@puppets.and.muppets]

dont even mention christmas....

[@blackporscheroadster-yw8hb]

If you get away from the large towns and cities England looks the same if not better than it did then. I was in deepest Wales yesterday and it could have been 1940 and some areas you don't see cars for 30 mins.

[@puppets.and.muppets]

When the British were 'smart' - in both senses of the word!

[@krismorgan]

Thanks for the upload,times gone forever.

[@ianstewartorr8455]

I’ve just found you I’m glad I did greetings from Scotland 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@tangerinedream7211]

This must have been 1962 at the earliest as there's a couple of Mk 3 Ford Zephyrs shown, a white one at the seaside, the coach pulls up behind it and a black one near the end going left to right across the screen. The coaches I remember as a kid took us from our school to the swimming baths in the town centre, they were 1962 Leyland's with Plaxton Panorama bodywork. Thanks for the upload, good job some coaches had fresh air vents with folks smoking pipes.😬

[@philipallen-729]

Charming video. The British way of life ...... we won't see that again. Shame.

[@christineporter7670]

Oh what joy and adventures, thank you for sharing this

[@cliffhughes6010]

I don't know where you find these gems, but thank you.

[@robertp.wainman4094]

The most comfortable seats ever offered on public transport - were those fitted to the Bristol/ECW coaches shown at the beginning of this wonderful film.

[@martynelse6121]

Great social history film. Lots of Bristol MW type coaches too 😊

Marvellous film. My parents never owned a car so we went everywhere by bus, coach or rail until we were old enough to drive. I had a Lambretta scooter first and later on upgraded to a Vauxhall Viva car. Travelling by coach was something I always looked forward to. I love the accent of the lady that was speaking at 13:27. Does anyone know what accent that is?

[@LocutorBritanico]

Thank you Jayne for this beautiful nostalgic trip back in time, especially some of the snippets of Bournemouth where I grew up.

[@stevebuckley2429]

Reminds me of the yearly trips from a 1950's grey and dirty Stockport to the almost unbelievable delights of Southport.

[@blackporscheroadster-yw8hb]

The sea still didn't come in in Southport, even in the 1950s.

[@damonwilliams5033]

I like the way the lady in Oxford demurely plays the harpsichord whilst sitting sidesaddle on the stool.

[@TheSonsofFalstaff]

Thank you for the trip down Memory Lane. My Grandmother took me and my two brothers on a Pullmans' coach trip (booked at Bootham Bar Offices in York) to Fountains Abbey. As a little boy I remember it was f*cking boring!!!!

[@montyf2165]

We can list the reasons why we have not got a country like this anymore, but the fact that GB has been spoiled beyond repair is both undeniable and unforgiveable. We have been goverened very badly.

And we voted for those governments.

[@eddtemperley2421]

Right I'm convinced. I'm going to book a coach day trip... oh wait a minute...

They can still be found but they aren't as numerous. You might have to search one out.

[@moshihus]

Ah the beret! The precursor to the baseball cap!

I loved the dress of the rambling club members!

[@stephenholmes1036]

A good film

[@TheTruthResearchers]

Wonderful Channel Jayne! Thank you!!

How bloody civilised. Wonderful stuff. And not a horrible Muslim anywhere in sight.

[@WallaseyanTube]

The Crosville coach trip to Rhyl appears to have started at the former Crosville depot on Liverpool Edge Lane, while the ramblers trip is shown starting from the old Mann Island at Liverpool Pier Head.

[@derekcurriecurrie1609]

It's so painfully heart breaking to watch these old films , our great nation disappearing year by year . Simple way of Christian life destroyed and replaced by fanatics 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@nigelmitchell351]

I well remember the bbc trade test transmissions, but not this one, this looks to me from the vehicles and their number plates to have been made in the very early 1960's, rather than 1970's. Anyone enjoying this should search out the BTF "cyclists special" an absolute gem shot around Rugby.

[@stevewilson6390]

And a collection for the driver.

That was my least favourite part of any coach trip.

[@Jefferson1969-u4s]

Ah “…the British way of life…” referred to in the film by one chap in clipped tone. He would be turning in his grave to be informed that life is no longer permitted by the woke hysterics.

[@syncrosimon]

Sad to see so much lost to capitalist expansion.

[@Rongturn777]

Not a Dalek in sight “ just proper static red letter boxes ‘you can even understand what their saying , no gangs of foreign teenage sailors relieving old people of their money in doorways ( and actually normal looking women without tramp stamps and barbed wire through their crevices 🤫
