Wisbech Railway

Anglia Television profile of a railway line serving local fruit growers.
John McGregor presents a profile of the Wisbech and Upwell Tramway, where the 'Grower's Special' trundles for almost eight miles on a single-track railway line, between Wisbech and Upwell, carrying agricultural produce to the mainline. Departing from Wisbech, passing through fenland and small villages, the train arrives at Upwell, where McGregor interviews driver Charles Randle and guard Arthur Downes. The pair discuss their careers on the railway and the flexibility of their timetable. With the produce - consisting mostly of strawberries - loaded, the train departs on its return journey, pulling up to fifty wagons at speed and delivering in time for the freight expresses to the morning markets.
