John Betjeman: Men of Steam 

There are some excellent railway films but you can’t beat a John Betjeman one

Thank you. John Betjeman uploads are always welcome.

Betjeman's voice and steam, pure poetry

The short sequence showing stray sheep at Freshford is priceless! Presumably, it wasn't rehearsed...

He was the davinciofelegantpoetryand wordsmith.his voiceisbeautiful refinedandreassuringhypnotizing....just wonderful!😊

The last words are very wise by John Betjeman. The once proud tradition of our railways now replaced by slap dash attitudes, no pride in the job, this the new standard of our railway. railway.

Kindly upload john Betjeman's documentary on kilvert..the vicar of this parish

Ah! John what would you think of today's railways?

I noticed that the calendar in the signal box date's the documentary to 1962.
