Tv Talking Pictures

I hope this hasn't been covered before?:

I've recently watched a short programme called "Diesel train ride" from 1959 (I think) on this channel and thought it would appeal to some here. At the start, the driver is seen altering the destination from Mundesley but from there on, there is little clue as to where we are going. Apart from the fact we soon cross the Broads twice and I have no idea where, although those with experienced eyes may be able to tell us. Later on I just about made out "Spooner Row" on a signal box but then it goes a bit mad; we soon end up in the Lake District which I did recognise!  The diesel in the title though, is only a railcar and I didn't see a toilet!

If you have a smart TV you now get an annoying red "encore" message on this channel. If you press the red button it takes you to a page where you can search their catch up service. Search "diesel" and you'll find this and another film where they show you how to actually drive the train!

Enjoy...

The first one possibly Reedham the second possibly Oulton Broad.

I actually think the swing bridge is Haddiscoe! The hill side is in the background being my reason not immediate. Agree other Oulton Broad north

The bridge is Somerleyton, and yes Oulton Broad alongside Caldecott Road
