HOW MANY PEOPLE TRAVEL ALONG THE PRIORITY BUS ROUTE EACH DAY WITHOUT KNOWING THAT IT WAS ONCE THE COURSE OF THE 1876 TRINIDAD GOVERNMENT RAILWAY LINE TO ARIMA?
In 2016 I had the opportunity to travel the full length of the Priority Bus Route between Port of Spain and Arima.
Since that time, I have made several trips, over the last five years, each time taking video footage along with my own narration highlighting historic aspect of the route.
In this video I have shot footage over the full length of the Bus Route between Port of Spain and Arima.
I have included narration and interjected archive photographs and cine footage of the railway, trains and stations at the appropriate points all along the line.
Thanks to my friend Martin Singh and his maxi taxi 'God's Mercy' for taking me on this journey back in time.

When I was young I used to say, "bus terminus!" I'm old enough to remember the wooden walkover outside City Gate! This country sweet too bad! If only some citizens would appreciate it more.😢

Thank you for this remarkable historical narrative. They need to bring back the rail system.

Mr Beadon this country owes you a huge debt of gratitude for hilighting our railway system, which seems purposely left out historically I guess because of the fear of it being too enlightening to citizens.
