Nice one! Interesting historical video and how some of this progress worked, but some of it really didn't 🤔

I get that steam was less efficient (and a far bigger polluter), but I do hate seeing those locos being cut up… Interesting that the “new” Blue Pullman is now completely gone, while Stowe is still in preservation…!

Funny that they say that the diesels that they used were more efficient than the steamers they replaced, especially when you realize that (at that point) less than half of them even worked properly, while the steamers could actually actually work and haul more than the diesels.

Despite their nostalgia value, these films with their glib and confident belief in the wonders of modernisation, that in many cases turned out to be blinkered and short sighted are quite depressing. Our wonderful railway network was destroyed at this time by Harold Macmillan, the unscrupulous prime minister who hated railways , his transport minister Ernest Marples who was a genuine crook intent on destroying the rail network because of his deep personal business involvement in the burgeoning motorway building industry and his fat hatchet man, the buffoon Dr Beeching, who didn't know one end of a train from the other and cared less.

In those days, we had the facilities of melting down scrap steel, but not today..

But we do - a large percentage of steel produced in the UK is from old scrap
