The Middleton Railway is one of Britain's less well known preserved railways, it has a fantastic pedigree -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middleton_Railway

I took this the other week when I finally made it there for a proper look... The lead loco is an NER H Class 0-4-0T with 0-6-0T Sir Berkley behind.

There is always one! They didn't have money to squander on unnecessary luxuries unlike some rather green railways ::)

Afraid you might knock it, but GWR does stand for

Have to be biased as my grandfathers last steam engine he drove was KING GEORGE V. Currently residing at National Railway Museum, York :thumbsup:

Either way, a GWR is way out of its natural habitat in Leeds :confused:

Always remember, nature is in charge, get it wrong and it is you who suffers!.

Thats a heck of a mess to clean up by hand!

Has anyone ever noticed on these old newsreels, there's always a bloke in a long coat running across the screen about 20 seconds in?

Very likely to have been Bob Danvers-Walker.

The announcers voice is too high pitched to be Bob Danvers Walker. I wonder if British Pathe know?

I don't think it was Bob Danvers-Walker. The announcer is very plumy and doesn't have the received pronunciation that the BBC strove for slightly later.

While we're on the subject of railways and Bob Danvers-Walker, hows about this-
