An episode of ITV’s ‘First Tuesday’ documentary programme about the intended closure of the Settle to Carlisle line.
This was shown on Tuesday 4th June 1985 and I recorded it as it was broadcast.
Tragically Graham Nutall was found dead whilst in a railway adventure and Ruswarp famously stayed with his master for weeks until the body was discovered. There is a memorial at Burnley Central railway station.

Fascinating, so glad it's still with us!

Travelled the line many times in the 80s, thanks for the memories
How many carriages did that engine pull at the end of that film. Fast forward 40 years and all we get now are 2 measly sprinter coaches
