1975: Colonel Campbell’s PRIVATE TRAIN | Nationwide | Weird and Wonderful | BBC Archive

No-one likes travelling on a train rammed with commuters, but few go as far as retired Colonel Campbell, who has his own train to take him and Mrs Campbell to the corner shops. Living in an isolated farm on the Welsh mountain of Dduallt, the train, which the Colonel drives himself, runs on the Ffestiniog line. The railway gave him permission to use it between the other trains running. Simpler times, indeed. Clip taken from Nationwide, originally broadcast on BBC One on Wednesday 12 March, 1975.
