A wonderfully clear view of Bushey Station in Victorian times

This film affords us a beautifully clear view of Bushey Station in Victorian times. A train passes, a goods train headed for London passes on the opposite side, then a train northbound for Watford stops to drop off and collect passengers. This film was made by early film maker and exhibitor Charles Goodwin Norton, who often featured his own children in his films. Sure enough, it is the bearded and hatted Norton and his kids who are the group present on the platform throughout much of the film; at one point Norton points out the camera to them. It was one of those children, Alice Norton, who donated the film to the BFI decades later.

A train passes through a station (R-L) watched by a man and two children. A
goods train passes in the opposite direction. Both locomotives are 0-6-0s (42)
A passenger train hauled by tank loco 1451 with destination plate for Watford
pulls into the station. Passengers alight, other passengers board the train.
The man with the children points out the camera to one of them, as the train
moves off again (110)
Note: The man with the children is Charles Goodwin Norton. This material
appeared in Norton's programmes under the titles: L.N.W.R.EXPRESS; A GOODS
TRAIN; and A PASSENGER TRAIN STOPS, PASSENGERS ALIGHT, TRAIN MOVES OFF.

Steve Foxon introduced the location as Bushey on the West Coast Main Line before
the Watford third rail DC system was introduced.
