Mmmm, Speedy.

I'd not heard they'd re-done it and it's not something they'd keep quiet
about either.

The company did a "speed run" last September but this film looks as if it
was made in the last couple of months on a normal service train.

I've not seen it for years and the only copies on the web are so
indistinct due to compression it's a waste of time watching it.

 

That was rather fun.

 

I've got a reasonably watchable copy if you want it. 24 meg avi.

 

Hmm, watching it again, it seems to be from the 80s, not the 50s. Either
way, if you want it...

 

Four minutes in 1952, 3 1/2 minutes in 1983. 2 minutes in 2006 - typical
short attention span of modern yoof!

Rather. It was part of the 50 years of electrification 'celebrations'.

It was also used on a Cure video - rather obviously "Jumping Someone
else's train" but Hey! you get to go through Coulsdon North [1] twice.


[1] Now a motorway, such is progress.
