Hi MacRat,
I would really appriciate a copy of Slow Train to Riccarton please, any costs gladly met.

Regards
Colin

I was kinda guessing you may ask, when I spotted your original message! It could take some time for me to dig out the VHS tapes and see if it's in any condition to transfer - something I didn't really think about when I posted my original reply.

Leave it with me, my tapes are in Lancashire and I now live in Glasgow, so there's the odd logistic issue to sort but I will look to dig it out next time I'm there.

I got it from a railway enthusiast in Dumfriesshire. It was recorded off air on video and transferred to dvd.

I'll check with him if he is prepared to send you a copy. If so I'll post his email address.

The email address of the person who supplied the dvd was
[email protected]
He accepts a donation to a charity in return.

Hi,

Many thnks I'll email him.

Happy New Year !

Colin

Slow Train to Riccarton
 

I made this programme for BBC Newcastle in 1985. Long story! I have a VHS taken from the master tape, and may be able to access the master by a bit of arm twisting. If anybody is interested, please let me know.

Master transmission tape located; a DVD is on its way to me. Copies available FOC from mid-November (hopefully).

Slow Train to Riccarton TV Prog.
 

Hi Ian,
Did you ever receive the DVD? Believe it or not I have been looking for this for many a year after seeing it in TV when I was younger, but I was looking for “Last Train to Riccarton”
Living in Hexham I have always had an intterest in the Border Counties Line and was wondering if it would be possible for you to send me a copy please. I’m happy to pay a resonable amount for your trouble.
Thank you
Ian Dodd

Hello, just come across this thread and would also be very interested in a copy. All costs met naturally.
