This turned up as a suggested video this morning. it is a mainly cab view of a service in 1980 from Epping to Ongar, back to Epping, then non-stop to Loughton Platform 1. On arrival at Loughton the camera is moved to the platform and the train moves off signalled by the shunt signal with an indicator reading 4. After a couple of minutes the train (I assume the same one) reappears heading eastbound in the siding adjacent to Platform 1. The quality isn't great as I suspect at that age it was transferred from VHS.

It also appeared in my YouTube suggestions also this morning...

Amazing quality for a video that is 40 years old...
