Peak Rail Presents- Doug Copley's Lineside Images #06.2 Halifax to Manchester Victoria (1984)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Doug Copley's Lineside Images

'Doug Copley's Lineside Images' are 68 titles filmed 1980's, 1990's & 2000's variously 12-90 minutes long. They come with Doug's own commentary and tend to follow lines of route, or particular workings, filmed over multiple return visits.

Doug's videos often include interludes of impressively vocal bird song!

In Alfred Hitchcock (filmmaker) style, Doug occasionally makes brief cameo appearances in his own films.

Doug Copley

Doug gave annual shows to Peak Rail Sheffield Branch. When he died in 2008 his films were kindly made available to the Peak Railway Association by his family so that appreciative enthusiasts can continue to enjoy his work in his memory.

During his working life as a steelworks commissioning engineer he travelled extensively and the collection includes South America, South Africa, India, Turkey (steam), and Australia. The UK collection includes many secondary lines, and also industrial railways. A treasure trove.
