which DMU came as 3 cars with the 2 end cars having the motors and the exhausts ran up the gap in between to the roof? (used to be on the Oxford - Banbury route in BR times.)

Can't wait for new railway 😊

beeching? he produced a report, the labour party closed all the lines inc many not on beechings list. this continued until the tories got in again in 1970,

Is this particular 108 up and running now

At least some were preserved

This is what sparked a lot of heritage lines.

How about the poulton end, near the old junction, now disconnected, that was or still is absolutely full of bushes. And at least your line still has track, unlike some lines waiting to be preserved, and good quality track at that, with heavy flat bottom rails and concrete sleepers with pandrol fasteners.

That back breaking bush clearing should be done by yobs on community payback. And that's a laborious way of spraying weeds, it's much easier with a pump & spray back pack.

Instead of axing these railways and the Age of Steam, should have tied him to the tracks to be ran over by one? Typical of his sort, lining their own pockets?

That same year earlier in the year when 73129 had her last run. :(

Nice one 👍

Loads of hard work gone into your project nice one 👍

What rail vehicle were you using ?

2000 miles on the clock , only used by a vicer to get to church on sundays honest govenor

Whens the next episode.

1963: The end of the line Richard Beeching's brief as chairman of the British Transport Commission was simple: "Make the railways pay". British Rail was losing £140m a year when Dr Beeching took over the commission. His solution, announced on 27 March 1963, was equally straightforward - massive cuts. The Conservative government welcomed the report, but thousands of people - many in remote rural areas - were horrified they would lose their local branch lines. Opposition from the pressure groups failed and during the 1960s "Beeching's Axe" fell on 2,128 stations and more than 67,000 British Rail jobs.

My God!!! Look at the age of the men doing all the work!!! They have to be retired!!!! Where is all the young men say 18 to 40!!!!!!!! Why are they not out there by the dozens working on them. The white working class??????

Well done lads, fair dues to the lot of you.

Aleast The Bluebell Railway,The Tallylyn Railway And The Festinog Railway Exists Before The Beeching Axe.

😇🤣

Excellent video greetings from United States!

Really washing is considered restoration

The devastating after effects of the Beeching closures are still being felt even now.

Close all rail and turn into roads

What year?

Dec. 2017---Talk about self serving individuals and screwing Joe Public. Ranks right up there with the 1957 White Paper which basically gutted their military and aircraft companies.

What a superb video and hard work on the clean up. It tells a story as it goes along. On the subject of Poulton and Railway tracks etc please allow this video ruclips.net/video/8XyviUn59QY/видео.html as it is of interest to those who see yours too. If you add a comment and post a link to this video, of course it will stay up. :) Jane

Should have purchased an HST when they get taken out of service.I know they will cost a lot more.it would be amazing to see an HST on this route as I live in Blackpool.

3:47 Spot the Rambler American convertible - next to the Mk1 Cortina estate. What's that doing there?

not if i have any thing to do with it steam rules ok.

Good luck to the Poulton and Wyre on their DMU restoration. A classic will roll again.

Doesn't look in to bad condition after a good scrub

in the usa the usa really started the diezelation in the 30s but didnt really take over steam untill the 50s. some lasted untill the late 60s however

I feel sick watching locos being cut up. I think that I might make a working modern steam train. Well if I could.

I remember watching this video in History Class back in secondary school. The railfan in me felt uplifted then.

he was a hit man allright he murderd the railways railways that should have not been closed s,d gcr smj northampton to bedford ,wellingborough ,mkt harborough to northampton. and many in devon cornwall,somerset,norfolk,ect.

2:56 Shouldn't you be helping to clean the DMU? Less of that horse play.
