BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984. All footage can be viewed on the British Pathé website.

For those who may not know: Westbury is situated in The south west of England in a very picturesque area called the mendip valley. It is known for having a giant picture of a White horse on a hillside which can be seen from certain trains and from many roads and bridges in the area.
The rail traffic in Westbury is mostly inter-regional passenger services and express services to London, Plymouth & Penzance.
The freight services are predominantly stone/ballast which is mined in the local quarries and is distributed to different areas. These trains are hauled by the General Motor class 59's and 66's, although some older British designed locos also visit on occasions...
Of the 5 main Freight in the UK (DB SChenker, Freightliner, Direct Rail Services, Colas & Great British Railfreight) only Direct Rail services (or DRS fro short) do not operate trains from Westbury...
There are also occasional steam trains which head from the London area to the south coast of England and have used many different engines over the years...
There are two big shunting yards and a huge array of wagons can be seen being moved/loaded/emptied etc all day... there is usually a loco or a small shunter (or switcher) which is in charge of this...

GROWING Problem on Britain's Railways
What is one of the growing problems on the UKs railway network? You can't miss it, it's absolutely everywhere and spreading at epidemic rates! It's called Buddleja (or Buddleia), that green leafy bush with purple flowers. Also known as Butterfly Bush because of the attraction to it from butterflies, it grows in any crack or crevice it can find. It destroys walls and masonry with its roots as well as underground cables. Once established, it can be very difficult to eradicate. One of the worse places to have suffered is Brixton in South London where the railway bridge is covered in Buddleja!

Abandoned Stations 7

--~--
People have always had a fascination with disused railway lines and stations. Following the opening of the first railway lines in the 1820’s, passenger stations have been closing; many in the last century because they were resited to a more suitable location. This is particularly true in London where many of the London termini were originally built some distance short of their present site.
In the early 20th century, stations and lines began to close with the introduction of new bus services, the increased popularity of the car and the improvements in roads. Other lines and stations never lived up to the expectations of their promoters.Many rural stations were badly sited, well away from the towns and villages that they were designed to serve and this too led to a rapid decline in passenger numbers when more convenient forms of transport became available.The steady trickle of railway closures increased in the 1950’s turning into a torrent in the 1960’s with the rationalization of our railway network under the infamous Dr. Richard Beeching, the chairman of British Railways from 1961 - 1965.In March 1963 his report “The reshaping of British Railways” was published. The “Beeching Axe” as it became known proposed a massive closure programme. He recommended the closure of one third of Britain’s 18,000 mile railway network, mainly rural branches and cross country lines and 2,128 stations on lines that were to be kept open. The following year his second report “The Development of the Major Railway Trunk Routes” was even more scathing with a proposal that all lines should be closed apart from the major intercity routes and important profit making commuter lines around the big cities leaving Britain with little more than a skeleton railway system and a large parts of the country entirely devoid of railways. The report was rejected by the government and Dr. Beeching resigned in 1965.Although Beeching was gone, the closure programme that he started under the Conservatives in the early 1960’s continued unabated under Labour until it was brought to a halt in the early 1970’s; but by that time the damage had been done. In 1955 the British railway system had 20,000 miles of track and 6,000 stations. By 1975 this had shrunk to 12,000 miles of track and 2,000 stations, roughly the same size it is today.
