    The Talyllyn Railway is hosting a Titfield Thunderbolt ‘Watch Party’ online while 1950s classic film is on TV this afternoon.

    As reported on The Railway Hub website https://www.therailwayhub.co.uk/112...rty-online-while-1950s-classic-film-is-on-tv/ :
    "As part of the BBC’s programme of Classic Films being aired during the Covid-19 lockdown period, the classic Ealing Comedy ‘The Titfield Thunderbolt’ is being shown on BBC2 this Wednesday (April 8) at 3.25pm."
    ... "As the country is stuck indoors due to the coronavirus lockdown, this classic film could have a larger viewing than usual. Wanting to make the most of this opportunity, the volunteer-led Talyllyn Railway is hosting its own ‘Watch Party’ on social media at the same time as the film is being aired."

    Hope it's of interest :)

    Many preserved railways today look like a combination of Titfield Thunderbolt and Dads Army.

    Is it wrong to say I'm enjoying being off work with a tinny in hand watching this again?!

    The Titfield Mallingford railway makes a certain other railway in Somerset look rather competent.
