Changing Face Of Railways - CCXTV

[Steamport Southport]

Browsing through the channels just found this programme full of colour archive film of BR in the mid 1960s. Peaks at St Pancras, XP64, Deltics at Kings Cross, Castles, Panniers and Warships at Paddington, etc.

 

Seems to be professionally shot footage that possibly wasn't used. In that much of it seems like offcuts.

 

On one of those channels that repeat all the time. Channel 23 if on Freeview.

Just watched this too.

 

Some great footage but a few gaffes in the commentary - as usual. Why don't they get them checked out?

 

I was surprised to see a Warship at Marylebone. And another interesting shot was a blue/grey Mk1 behind a Castle leaving Paddington.

 

The Hook Continental had an eclectic mix of stock: a Gresley Buffet, a Mk1 FO and something that I did not recognise for certain but perhaps a Cravens prototype(?).

It's on again now. Great stuff.

I wondered if the coach in the Hook was the prototype coach that was (when I rode it) at the SVR, vinyled in faux teak?

This one, E3083, still at the SVR but now in BR maroon:
