can you imagine going back in time and telling these people that in the year 2012 80% of school kids in london will be black,muslims will plant bombs on tubes killing people,a fireman will watch a little boy drown because health and safety ment the fireman could,nt dive in to save him,political correctness would stop police investigating muslim pedoes abusing white kids,during riots in london the police would just stand and watch,they would,nt believe you would they?

Those were the days 50 years ago. York in steam, a bridge with 4 tracks, the people and everything. Now, a bit of steam (from the NRM), no bridge and 4 tracks - just 2! The people and everything - is changed. Why IT HAS TO BE modernazaition?! BRING BACK OLD ENGLAND!!!!!!!! THUMBS UP!

Oh my lord, this is amazing. I walk in and out of that station every day to go to college. I am speechless from this! :D 6:09 now platform 9, with 10 and 11 on the left.

I know, I'm 31, and missed all this, and I wish I had been there, I can just remember the 4 tracks through, now down to 2!

I'm a York resident.. and you never said a truer word guv'.. It's all gone.. and only a handful like me care..
Lytton333 Says:
Living in York and sometimes finding myself on the station concourse on a Saturday teatime.. I often wonder what the station-master shown here would have thought of the noxious gangs of louts from Middlesborough and Leeds who are already aggressively drunk when decanting from their trains, and intent on causing mayhem and trouble in the town - Or the the screeching/ vomiting/ backside-flashing harlots in hen-parties catching the last train on a Sat night. Welcome to modern Britain..

Very interesting and nostalgic video. Anyone who would like a spot of sardonic amusement can try turning on the speech transcription. Google hasn't caught up with a Yorkshire accent yet!

This film will always remind me of Sir Top n Hat with Thomas Train.
theamateurbasher Says:
A timeless BTF film, back in the days when good manners, top hats and precise timekeeping prevailed. How I wish I'd been around in the 1950's...
AcombDave Says:
Love this film - I used to show it on an old 16mm projector when I was a BR projectionist many many years ago - I know it almost word for word!

naughtystudios Says:
Great video. It's great to see how it used to be with all those steam engines rushing in and out. It was a bit before I was born though. ;•( The station still looks the same nowadays, just minus the steam trains.

I was 16 when I sold ice cream in the York Station, 1962 or 63 I think. My family all worked on the railway. It was no easy task to get from platform to platform in time to sell ice cream to hungry passengers, especially when the train was a troop train. I really loved the old Mallard steam trains.

It's 1953. Good guess.
vonroon23 Says:
This must be around 1955,, ten years or so before I came to York as a student. The city it briefly shows seems light years away from its present Disney reincarnation. You don't know what you've got till it's gone.
