The Falmouth Line 1976
Andrew & Diane Jones
I recently came across a video of the Falmouth Branch filmed in 1976 by Westward TV.
Those of a certain age will remember their reporter John Doyle who presents the feature providing 8 minutes of nostalgia representing a period which seems almost lost.
There is a black and white version on YouTube (as below), but a colour version exists on the British Film institute site, just run a search 'the Falmouth Line 1976' which is free to view, sponsored by the BOX Plymouth.
Hopefully over the coming years more films will come available.

Many thanks Andrew & Diane - well worth a watch

6B12 Merehead Quarry to (Royal) Wootton Bassett - creeping up to the red signal on the UML. My first photo was taken from platform 3 but as this train stopped I went quickly [but not quick enough] over to platform 4 to take a photo with the sun behind me BUT as I got there this train started on the move to the east of the station where the loco [59203] ran around its train though Real Train Times was a bit confusing as to where this run round took place!! So - back to the warm waiting room at the west end of the station from which I could see 6B12 starting to come alongside platform 4. 27.01.2025, copyright Ken Mumford.
Having run round, 59203 comes back into the station. 27.01.2025, copyright Ken Mumford.

Many thanks Ken, a nice selection - hope you've thawed out!
