This is the original forum of the Bristol Railway Archive that existed between 2003 and 2013. I finally rescued it after it seemed unrecoverable after a large crash. I have made it available for viewing. It is locked, all posts to the new version please!
Use this forum to talk about the railways in and around Bristol, or for any off-topic stuff you want to share. Also request photos and information that you are missing.
Seems the whole thing was filmed on the tramway, er sorry - I mean, Southern Region!
Lots of good old film of Bristol if you search "Some People Bristol" on youtube though ...
I'm very fond of the film and its soundtrack. There are a few glimpses of the old timber yards at Hotwells right at the start of the film, which is in colour, but sadly no steam trains. There are, however, a few old Bristol buses!
Hopefully the film will get a DVD release one day. It's not been shown on TV for many years. I tried to get The Watershed to screen it as being of local interest (lots of scenes of locations that no longer exist) but they could not have been less interested.

Perhaps The Cube could be persuaded to show it. I'll get in touch with them ...
