B & R DVD Volume 58 - Wirral SteamI quote from the box:‘The peninsula of the Wirral was fifteen miles from north to south, from Chester to Birkenhead. Steam traction ceased in 1967 with the running of the last iron ore train from Bidston to Shotton Steelworks. This video covers the lines from Chester to Birkenhead, Mouldsworth to Hooton and Bidston Dock to Shotwick sidings. Every station still open in 1966 and 1967 is shown, when the railway was still a four track line north of Hooton, Woodside was still extant and the shed was still servicing 9F's and 2-6-4 Tanks. Visitors to the Wirral were ‘Clun Castle’ and ‘Blue Peter’. Crab 2-6-0's, B1 and a Britannia were also to be seen. A visit is made to Ellesmere Port and its docks as is Birkenhead Docks with 42942 on two railtours and the Wirral Railway Circle's Docker tours with ‘Lucy’ and ‘Efficient’. Also here were the Mersey Ferries and the ocean liner ‘Empress of Canada’ coming up the Mersey.The iron ore trains are covered in great detail from loading at Bidston Dock and the journey over Storeton bank to Shotwick Sidings. They are interrupted occasionally by steam hauled services to New Brighton, and railtours with Crab and 9F.’Running time is approx 60 minutes.I am not sure about the compatibility of overseas DVD players with UK DVDs.
