The video arrived in two days from…29/1/24

The video arrived in two days from ordering. It's an interesting subject but I find the lengthy previews of other dvds somewhat irritating.

We sometimes include relevant previews at the end, after the main production and certainly not before.

This is largely for the benefit of our many customers who still don't have access to the internet.

Bad to great

It started bad with the web-engine denying my existence, but turned great when the Video 125 stepped and fixed it.

Glad we solved the problem for you, Tom!

For anybody else ordering from the Isle of Man – please be sure to select 'Isle of Man' in the checkout rather than 'United Kingdom', otherwise Shopify (our e-commerce platform) won't recognise your postcode.

A cut above all the other Driver's Eye Views

Quite apart from the depth of detail that is gone into, researching the line that's being presented, the quality of the photography, inclusion of run-bys and station arrivals and departures, and general views of surrounding areas and points of interest make these videos way more interesting than other lesser offerings. Not only that, there is now good coverage of the UK and Ireland, as well as some lines in Europe and even the Far East.

Add to that the fact that these have been filmed over a period of something like 35 years and you have the added benefit of historical content. It's even interesting, sometimes, to see how much fashion has changed when looking at the passengers waiting on the platforms or walking about the stations - scary sometimes too!

Now that Video 125 have a cutting room floor full of goodies themselves, they have produced several compilation products. One such is the Signal Box Archive that I have just purchased. This takes footage, much of it not seen before, from many previous visits to signal boxes during other DEVs. It forms quite a comprehensive view of the mechanical signalling approaching its phasing out, and the electronic signalling that replaced it.

Always exceptional.

My order was recorded and dispatched with amazing speed and care. The videos are, as always, great and all was so easy to purchase. Thank you once again.

Another excellent video

Another excellent video! My first virtual ‘trip’ on the route between Perth and Dundee! I’ve awarded 4 Stars rather than five because I dearly wanted to continue on to Aberdeen from Dundee! It’s good to see decent units (the HSTs) continuing to work in service. They’re far more passenger friendly than modern units! Rob.

We did put a short trailer on the end of the production alluding to the Northern Lights continuing to Aberdeen. Due to that production we decided to concentrate our resources on the previously unseen section. That alone took weeks to film with three separate cab runs each requiring significant organisation not to mention four different signalling areas and nine signal boxes. It is true that the Northern Lights is now quite old but that in itself has merits, for example the Valenta powered full length original HST. Of course the civil engineering and history has changed little too.

'The North Downs Line' Bringing Me Back Some Nice Memories!

I recently bought the download version of 'The North Downs Line' and am pretty happy with my purchase and the film. I used to take the train on this route fairly often in years past, mainly from Dorking Deepdene to Gatwick and back for planespotting. And, to me at least, I think the video has done the memories I have justice hopefully. With many thanks!

Quality memories

I moved to Australia in 2016, aged 74. I now have a collection of Video 125 dvds which bring back many happy memories of lines travelled in the past, and also act as a reminder of the UK countryside which I miss. These memories are enhanced by the quality of the dvds.
