The opening section shows crowds gathered on the platform of Peterchurch railway station including children. A steam hauled train arrives and the passengers board. We then see the only colour section which includes an inter-title 'The train returns to Peterchurch August 17 1950' and shows the line with weeds indicating it is out of use and a deserted Peterchurch station. We then return to b/w and see the train arriving again and passengers boarding. The final section shows a loco decorated with a union flag arriving pulling a guards van on the final service on 30 January 1953. Several dignitaries are visible including the Mayor of Hereford A.E. Farr. We see people on the platform at Dorstone station and the final shot shows a members of railway staff locking the station building.
