looking for a documentary on youtube

[tgv_obsessed]

Hello all, I'm new to this forum, but a lover of trains.

I've done a few searches here and have found some threads referring to what I am looking for, however none seem to quite point me where I want to go.

There is a documentary about london and the surrounding areas commuter trains in the early 90s. There are a group of passengers threatening to take BR to court, some comparisons with the dutch railways, and a youthful John Prescott trying to articulate labour's policy (amongst other things)

the thing is, I cant find the thing again and want to watch it. I cant seem to find the right search terms, I'm fairly certain it was in 4 parts.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

It seems to be a first sight documentary about network southeast, 1988, the youtube videos seem to have disappeared!

Yeah I remember this, user group dragged Geoff Harrison Mee over the coals. Committee member basically said he was lying, GHM told him to withdraw comment, he refused.

i have found the links to the program here in the forums, however the actual videos have been removed.

the program was "first sight" 1988 and about network southeast

I too am looking for a Youtube film about travelling by train supposedly in East Anglia. Unfortunately mountains that seem to look like the Lake District suddenly appear in Norfolk. Does anybody know where I can this film.

I started a list of YouTube railway vids here a few months back and there's a bit of variety on there but the thread's been locked so I can't edit the first post.

I think First Sight has been removed from YouTube though, I can't find it elsewhere.

It was your excellent youtube list that i have been consulting. it is a great shame that those three videos of the first sight documentary have been removed.

Just as a window into the near past it was extremely interesting.

I concur! I watched it several times and until recently it was on BBC I-Player. I seem to remember some interesting comments about Crossrail and how it should have been opened by 1999!

The thread seems to have been unlocked so if you know of any other vids that are on youtube but not listed please post on the thread and I will add them to the list.
