    Have been enjoying "The train now departing" on BBC iPlayer. The series was filmed in the late 80's and I didn't see them all at the time. I particularly enjoyed episode 5 on the Industrial & narrow gauge railways. Nice Ivo Peters footage in there too :)

      Incredible to think that when it was first broadcast, the future of the Settle & Carlisle still wasn't assured.

      Yes @Captain Kernow- I watched that one last night, and I'd almost forgotten how insecure the future of the S&C was.
      The programme also made me want to visit Dent & Ribblehead again ASAP.

      Some nice footage of Barry scrapyard in one of the episodes too. I was in the area before in between lockdowns, and was amazed at the streets, housing and shops that now occupy the site :o 
      Whenever I see footage of Woodhams yard back in the 70's & 80's - I keep a sharp eye out for the young me, clambering over sharp, rusty, oily bits of metal, and kicking asbestos around :O 

      ..... whilst wearing flares, Proclaimers-style glasses.... and snorkel jacket of course ;)
