Oxford to Cambridge Railway Part 1: The Bedford Railway (1989)

Part of a Three Part Series on the Oxford to Cambridge Railway dating to the 1980s/1990s. I was loaned these VHS videos for encoding. I do not own this content; but nothing on this channel is monetised. I hope these can be enjoyed by all who watch them. In the recent news of the soon to open GWR Line; it would be interesting for those involved to see these digitised versions of the videos. After nearly a quarter of a century since the end of steam power on British Rail; the modern railway has, with its dynamic profiles of electrics and diesels, shaken off the influence of that great age. Diesel multiple units have remains of Britain's Branch Lines in the way that the steam hauled train did forty years ago. Although branch line railways have led a tenuous existence since Dr Beeching instructed their closure en-masse in 1963, some have resolutely resisted that fate. Such a line is the one from Bletchley to Bedford. Opened with popular support in 1846 it still provides an intensive daily service. This video explores the line with historical commentary and presents a visual record of much that remains, especially its attractive stations. Most of it was filmed during the summer of 1989 and captures some of the pastoral atmosphere of country railways. No infringements Intended. Please feel free to pass any comments below. TX: N/A
