Bring back speedlink

What video was this from?

Great look back on how the railway moved the goods. But you can see why it stopped because you can't have just a couple of wagons behind a big locomotive 😩 When the channel tunnel opened it was supposed to make cross channel freight grow and easy 🙄 We sent more by the boats than we do now 🙁 Hopefully some will return with modern thinking 🤔

Bring back marshalling yards and more locomotive haulage!!!

Part of the reason that wayon load never became train load was the customer not being able to handle a full train load service.

I love this video as it gave me so much knowledge on the Speedlink service. I have only a small layout and now I know I can run a train with a small rake of varied wagons! Thanks for posting.

Great to watch, such variety back then.

Yes, the good old days of grubby British Rail
