Very good, nice one.
Yelverton to Princetown next?
Very nicely done.
And very good camera work from the young lad.
Excellent video, superbly presented on a railway I knew nothing about until now. Many thanks 👍🏼
After nationalization BR was left with two routes from Plymouth to Tavistock (and indeed Launceston); this ex-GWR line, and the ex-SR line to Exeter via Tavistock and Okehampton, which served suburban Plymouth better and had the Callington branch (truncated to Gunnislake in 1966) too. Surprising that the ex-GWR line lasted as long as it did. Its closure did not of course save the ex-SR line, which was closed in 1968, although it is reopened from Exeter to Okehampton and may reopen from Bere Alston to Tavistock in the medium term.
I dragged my children up as far as the viaduct back in the early 90s. I have to say it is one of my favourite old railway walks. Just the total peace and quiet, yet not that far away from Plymouth. Well worth the walk.
Loved the presentation on the GWR Branch Line that linked Plymouth to Tavistock. Have you any plans to do the SR main line that also linked the two and carried the ACE and other Services to London Waterloo.
I really enjoyed this, thank you – excellent drone footage. I lived in plympton in 2003/4 while my then girlfriend (now wife) was doing her masters at Marjons… the Plym valley railway hadn’t reached Plym bridge at that time so it’s good to see it made it! If I recall, the cycle way to Tavistock includes a tunnel you can go through…
Loved video please do more so sad to see how much we've lost
