    Hi all

    I have just found a copy of the Pathe news peice on the L&M on You Tube - many thanks to whoever put it there.

    A rather curious peice, it speaks of the line only carrying Milk and the last section is speeded up a'la London to Brighton but in some shots the transporter wagon is being propelled (or pulled and film reversed?)

    Some interesting sequences of Sg wagons being put onto the transporter.

    Long live the L&M - Now there's a project!

    Regards

    Chris P
