THE GRAND FINALE OF BRITISH STEAM English Branch Lines and Byways DVD

English Branch Lines and Byways Branch lines and secondary routes have always had a special appeal. This programme recalls many such English byways in films made in the 1950s and 60s. The railways portrayed ran through landscapes which ranged from the green and pleasant shires of rural England to the very heart of the Metropolis. Steam byways around London include the Stanmore branch the service from Ealing Broadway to Greenford and the West London line.Most of the lines covered in this programme had been closed by the end of the 1960s. Those who knew these lines will have pleasant memories revived by the films and for those who did not get the chance to travel on them in their heyday this will be a revelation of a lost era. All connoisseurs of minor railways will find this programme a welcome addition to their collection.
