More great memories of the Western Region. Particularly loved the 50s in action. Good old BR. Miss it all so much. Thanks for sharing your wonderful archive footage with us Roy. You're a star.

The first video i have found that shows platform 4 and the overtaking line at Newton Abbot, plus all the sheds and sidings, and the 4 lines heading south. Takes me back to my childhood :) Many thanks

Same although I would've been very young, not sure when this was but believe the lines adjacent to the station house were relief and plt 4, wasn't there a motorail terminal there too? 🤔
@ChangesOneTim5 ай бұрын
@@shidzngigglez Indeed the Motorail terminal was on the Up side at the Exeter end. At this time there were still Main, Relief and Through lines on Down and Up sides - six tracks in all between East and West signal boxes. All shrunk down to today's layout the year after this video was filmed.

Mr Harrison you are a fine man. Thank you for 1. Filming what you have filmed. 2. Keeping what you have filmed. 3. Making it available to all in today’s format. I was a Plymouth lad and all this is so familiar, although in school days (early 70’s), many trips between home and Exeter would have been Class 52 Western powered. I only remember taking a few photos, sad in itself as you thought things wouldn’t change that much then but do I know what happened to those photos, of course not, even sadder. I note the lifted centre road between platform 2 and 3....I have vivid memories of being on P2 one day when a station staff member said to a colleague...” ere’ look at this”. ... as rare non stop Western opened up its power and clagged the station south bound....awesome. Thank you Roy.

Smashing video bud, takes me back to the halcion days of BR when loco haulage ruled. Admittedly the HSTs were on stream here but Hoover hauled services and holiday relief trains were common back then, oh what has been binned certainly brings a tear to One's eye. 😪

These were the years that train spotting meant something.... Don't get me wrong, I still do spotting but I suppose I'm just being nostalgic.... More variety back then....... Oh, and judging by your wonderful video...... More litter also....
