One comment. W.E.F and the EU . It was all in the plan to destroy what we/you have. 2020 proved it ! If you still don't get it, then I can't help you .
these were jobs with skills you could use throughout your working life jobs that would have enabled to raise a family and buy your own home every one of those jobs supported many other firms who supplied stuff not just the local shops so sad to think we can only offer such a limited future to are youngsters

I wich the beta versions of Choo Choo and billy bobs and Rolfe mask still exist I love how they look I kinda don't like how newer Choo Choos have arms.
Transformed by privatisation. Make do and mend as you see here....nothing long term or quality and excellence. Patch it up and make it last ten years but no certainty there though. Just look at super fast, whisper quiet, sleek locomotives and carriages today., billions and billions invested on a grand scale which never happened under the dead hand of socialism and the abysmal mediocrity of nationalisation. Thank God for privatisation, the free market and the Conservative government. Only spoiled by greedy, grasping rail mafia unions.
Drawing office looks pretty old-fashioned. the company I worked for in 1981 had fully changed to computer aided design, and had spent a lot of money digitising old pen-and-paper drawings. There was not a single drafting table in the whole place - only UNIX workstations.
These trades have all but disappeared, we've nothing left, literally.... try getting a decent centre lathe turner or a welder fabricator, no one is coming through and haven't been for decades, our heavy industrial engineering industry is no existent and soon we won't even be able to make our own steel .... and why ? Because everything has been sold and privatised, our core industries should NEVER have been sold, it's an utter disgrace
A very sad film, looking at an organisation on the verge of decimation. People going into something that they didn't know would be dismantled and closed within two decades. A worldwide reputation wasted by a government that knew the price of everything and the value of nothing.
The greatest animal on the planet was Captain Sulzer and his exceedingly good diesel engines Napier's had a very small weight for their huge power output Rudyard Hull and his DMU😂😂😂
