Such a professional presentation. Yeovil Town was obviously a very atmospheric station. Thank you for taking the time to record, edit and post. I for one certainly appreciate it.
Oh it’s my childhood … many happy hours on my bike watching watching watching. The demolition if the station a railway is such a travesty and so shortsighted. Yeovil was at one time blessed with such an exciting railway system….
Much appreciated👍 A well presented history of the station & lines. Shame it closed, looked very impressive. The demise of the LSWR West of Salisbury is there for all to see plus the trimming back or GWR lines too.
Interesting. I rented the transfer shed at Yeovil Junction from late 1971 to 1982. This was used to transfer goods from one private railway to another. I was told a man was killed in there once. Also a locomotive went straight down over the bank at the end of the turntable. Prisoners of war carved badges in the soft bank opposite the transfer shed. Long gone now.
My memories of Yeovil go back to the 50s when we changed there to go to Maiden Newton for Bridport. Sad to see the devastation of so much important heritage. Enjoyed the video, look forward to more!
What memories 1962 starting train spotting at Yeovil 😅 what a life we had with all my friends the year now is 2024, by the way Fridays I would help take the cattle from the market I hold get 2 and sixpence. Today 12 and 6pence lam 75 this year 😂😅
3:00 Blimey were the Glovers at home? Are the fine looking urns on the turntable for decoration (!) or some sort of safety valve for loco vacuum power of the thing? A reflection now that I've been through the ordeal of watching the video. The script here 8:25 set me thinking that the probable seeds of these tin shed dwellers' demise have maybe been sown by internet shopping. Let's see how these usurpers like it up 'emselves!
