Discover the Lost Railway: A Churchill Connection 

Beautiful place

Brilliant search of the history of the Boar War battles. Finding the railway makes the adventure more exciting. Great looking fields and wild flowers

Great exploration of the area and connection to the movie episodes 👍

What a fantastuc view and colours . Cheers from dill rainy ireland . Owen

What a great recap of the film and its location...wonderful stuff!! Bruce and Otis

Really wonderful area. Loved the colors. Nature in its best show. Amazing to notice how the vegetation takes its territory, since 1972.💛

Ive never seen Young Winston. Loved your biggest waterfall vid. Will have to dig Young Winston out! These old railway lines do make for great hiking routes now, this one is spectacular and commands great views. Cracking landscape shots. Must be amazing for all enthusiasts to see this section of railway in colour. Fascinating history about Churchill too, he did well to evade capture. Love the remains of the old bridges, more cracking shots! Look at all that coal, you could sell that! Epic aerial finish ❤

Great investigative work, you even found the train station! Such an amazing video, loved the inserts from the original film to put everything in perspective! Stunning area! 😍👍

Hello Phil 👋. 5:31 having a rest this area are really amazing. Stunning and gorgeous views ❤️. 13:10 this is really an interesting 🤔. Thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing. Have a nice weekend. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪.

We enjoyed your hike along the rail line used in the movie. Haven't ever watched Young Winston. We may need to correct that soon. Beautiful area! Enjoyed the way you edited clips from the movie into your video. I don't know how to do that. Our video tomorrow is where they filmed The Bagdad Café" and I wanted to. Beautiful stroll filled with information. Interesting about the coal there. Lovely views from above! Thanks for bringing us along, Phil.

What a great idea Phil and love the film snippets you have used! Great day for a hike and it looks a lovely area! Not seen the film! Great shots as always! Have a lovely weekend 👍❤️

So cute sheep, it’s great to meet animals when hiking. Very beautiful place for enjoying fabulous nature❤Great sharing 👍👍🤗

such a great adventure, this place breaths with history 😍

Hi Phil! Great detective work! 👍 How wonderful that the film contains footage of the now dismantled railway. I think it's great that they convert the old railway lines to public footpaths. We have several of those in Norfolk. Loved this video, Phil! So interesting and so beautifully filmed ❤

That was great Phil, I found it really interesting and what a lovely place to walk. Excellent editing with snippets of the film. Regards David 📷👍

Such a great idea for a video Phil and that's a stunning area . Love the sidings / walls of the old railway . Looks so hot there though to do all of the walking and then going back on yourself ! The old station must have been great to see after you watching the film , no wonder you felt like you were in the film😃 Thai old pub photo was great too . Interesting that the railway and the cottages were built for the quarry. Very cute sheep! The walk you did was great and so was that old weighing bridge . And as always the drone footage was so good 👍~ Anna

amazing . . . well done and thumbs up 👍🙏💯

Great walk! Well spotted similarities between film and reality! Only after watching your struggle with going through farmer's fields I realised how much Right to Roam is useful 😂😂. I usually just take it for granted that I can walk through any land I want.

This was absolutely fascinating Phil. Brilliant how you linked the filming locations with what it looks like now. You’re right that in that amazing scenery that railway would probably be a brilliant tourist attraction today. Fantastic footage and research - loved the old clips - and the black gold finds. Just great - we’re defo coming down to the Brecon’s in the van!! You keep selling that area to us more and more. Have a good one mate.

You have watched this film in detail! Great job Phil! Nice views!!

An interesting video Phil, I've never seen the film in question! All these old railways should have been turned into accessible footpaths/bridleways, they would have been a great resource. Beautiful countryside Phil, thanks for sharing ATB Alistair 👍

That was brilliant, really enjoyed this 🙂

This was great Phil 😊 looks like you done your research for this one. Really enjoyed it and I like old railways they make for great walking trails, I done one recently up in the Pennines.

Hi Phil. Wow that is so cool to see where the railway went thru and the scenes that were filmed there. Glad you were able to walk there and see it up close. It looks like a great movie…I’ve never seen it but I’d like to. I enjoy older movies! Thanks for the tour. 👍😊🇨🇦

Really cool vlog Phil! Awesome to show the snippets of the film and how it looks like now. Something I considered to do in Iceland for some Game of Thrones scenes 😂 this area is spectacular to explore! Thanks for sharing 😁

It’s amazing how many old blockbuster movies were filmed on location in the UK, often masquerading as other countries.

Well done Phil. your best work to date. It was really interesting. I'd grade it a 1!!

Very interesting Phil ..well done ❤

very beautiful video, subscribed.

My father was one of a few extras hired in Wales who appeared in the film. He was one of the Boers moving the cannon, and also played a British soldier amongst those on the train.

Hi Phil, haha I thought I was watching the wrong channel. Nice transition right after the horses left 4:10 brilliant! OMG where is your sandwich? 5:52 🥪 I like the content searching the footsteps of Churchill. How did you find the location you watched in the movie to start with ? I didn't know nothing about PPL searching movie locations after we hiked up the Bridal Veil Fall, but there are a lot of YTbers. hahaha wow you discovered black shiny coals along the road 13:38 Now I am imagining the train running up and down and those coals were falling off form the train... A tunnel, OMG Phi more discovery 14:30 Gorgeous bird-eye flight is invite me to watch that old movie. I hope I can find online, ,Amazon Prime? What's the great comparison between the film and your investigation! Well Done, Phil. Superior!!!

This is really great 👍

This just appeared on my homepage 8 months after upload- RU-vid is quite slow at times. Fascinating to see the course of the line. As you showed in the video, the scenery is spectacular, far better than the Settle and Carlisle line (IMO) so it is such a pity that it was closed. The station shown was originally named "Penwyllt" but later renamed "Craig-y-Nos" in honour of the opera singer Madam Adelina Patti who lived nearby in Craig-y-Nos Castle. I was on the film set during filming as part of the loco support crew, and even did some of the loco firing on the very last run up from Coelbren- great fun. Some of the photos that I took at the time can be seen at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YWiWJeoXLGY.html . Some of the movie filming actually took place during rain, but somehow, the filters attached to the camera were able to mitigate this.

Interesting

Great video footage, I enjoyed this, I am your new friend +473 😃🔔

Hey Phil, have not seen you in almost 3 weeks. How are you? I hope you are staying well. Hope to see you soon.

Interesting- how much of the old railroad through Sully still exists?
