May 4, 2009 - I like the way there's 15 people with a job to do, from cleaning the cab windows and watering, through checking wheels for cracks and checking axle boxes, checking lamps though loading passengers/unloading parcels. Now there's a driver and guard and around 3 people down the platform to pass the message to the driver!

May 4, 2009 - Yes` the standards have slipped so much now. I have always wanted to work for the Railways but everything is on sub-contract now. York Railway is a shadow of its former self.

Aug 29, 2009 - Mate, I don't know how long this'll last before some bugger goes trying to get it removed, but thanks very much nevertheless. I can remember watching this, no more than five or six years old, and knowing that what I was seeing was very special, and that somehow the world around me was different. And y'know what? Despite that, it's part of why, when I'm in York, I just grin like a lobotomised crackhead. Ta :)

May 2, 2009 - wow thank you for posting, I first saw this film at Haxby Road junior school1st year, 1960, and we had to write an essay about it, it was filmed in 1953, by J Holmes, Our beutiful victorian station was my second home, a platform ticket was an old penny, a Mr Breeds was a station wheeltapper, and my grandad Herbert Halliwell was incharge of the parafin for filling the lamps... ek the good old days......
