One of my favourite books is Stopping Train Britain. It records the last days of what we might call the 'traditional railway' and there is more than a hint of melancholy about the whole thing. I think this video of the last days of the Bridport line does this well too. You have to wonder what those passengers did once the trains stopped running.
And if you want to know what there is there now...
Loved the first video. I was fourteen in 1975 but somehow that film made it seem much longer ago.
