Bogie sandwhich?

Hello Jack and Elenore, your video has certainly wetted my appetite to visit Edinburgh, some very good views from the castle and in general a lot to see. I get the felling that one could spend a week in the city. Many thanks for sharing this video and I look forward to the next one. Best Wishes to both. Andrew. P S looks a very good breakfast.

Thanks for sharing 🧶🌈🍓💙

Wonderful well done. Really enjoy your work.

Exactly,Nothing beats Haggis & chips! Looking forward to your video on Loch Ness.& meeting Nessie Loch Ness Monster 😂

Why are they demolishing it??

Great Video as always, looking forward to the next instalment Jack and Elenore👍😜

Hi Jack & Elenore, hope you enjoyed Scotland, been to many times, it’s beautiful.your videos are pure magic! Hope you enjoyed some Haggis. Must do the Ghost tour sometime I’am over there! & stay in Fawlty Towers ( Edinburgh style)😂

You were braver than me, sitting upstairs! It was a great weekend. I was there on Sunday - I saw you in Newport, but you were filming, otherwise I’d have said hello. You had a narrow escape 😳🤣 BTW - I lurrrrrve a Loddeka!

Enjoyed that one Jack, I spent 18 years driving Southdown buses and a bit of National Express, our main stay were bristol vs's and Leyland Nationals but drove a diverse selection of buses in my time there, I used to take old buses to most of the rally at the time and won a trophy at the Southsea event for the oldest vehicle to get there under it's own power, it was a lovely 1929 Leyland Titian open top which was garaged at my home depot of Worthing, I think it's now kept at the Amberley chalk pits museum....it was a grand life on the buses....untill Stagecoach took over😮😊

Great video. I`m amazed at the excellent condition all the buses were in. The Bristol with the curved bonnet and front windows was the stock Vectis bus in the 60`s It was interesting riding the number 8 bus between Shanklin and Ventnor which at the time had a steep hairpin bend, before the layout was changed several years ago, and hearing the engine in low gear working really hard. Of course that journey can`t be taken now because of the landslip and the closing of the road, which is a great shame. Looking forward to your next holiday video. By the way what happened to the weather. You seemed to have a dry day for your classic bus day!

Thankyou so much for your coverage of the 55miles of the lsland lines I have always lived on the lsland and around 1960 got my father to take me to visit all the stations I was lucky enough to also have walked the complete line between newport and sandown whilst all the track was down and signal cableing still intact fantastic memories thankyou john meredith

Thanks for sharing 🧶🌈🍓💙

Great video, it brought back many happy memories of Yorkshire and York in particular. Looks like you had a great holiday. Never been to Scotland so looking forward to that one too :)

I went with my (adult) children on the second day. They thought I was mad for leaning over hoping for a leafy hit. I got several bits blown into my face. All good fun. Btw, I had a cosy hat tied well on. First day, on my own, I caught the most buses, including a very elegant Art Deco one, with stylish wall lights.

I love York, glad you did too. The furthest north I’ve been is Aviemore. Looking forward to part 2. I like Edinburgh too.

Great video. I'm driving the 1st one to the Esplanade

Can't believe I didn't see you about at least once as I was also on the old buses at the weekend

Fantastic video, i was there, and it was a great weekend

You lucky thing! Unfortunately I couldn't make it over to Wightrider this year

Bus number 9 is unique as it is a Volvo B7TL chassis with an Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 body. Whilst there were other Volvos built with that body, they were of the B9 type not the older B7.

Thankyou Jack that was a good 20 minutes worth watching! See you in Scotland Nipper!👌😜

Hello Jack, thanks for the bonus video, always interesting. Have you ever seen any of the buses from Paris on the island recently. They were kept in Winchester for a while. Glad you both had a good break, and the travel went smoothly for you. Regards. Andrew.

Any branches in the face or were they all cut back? I always like sitting nearside for the fun of having to duck.

Great video. I’m currently working up in Edinburgh. From the little I’ve seen of it, you’re gonna have a great time.

Great video. I have to say I think Mallard and the other locos in its class were the best looking engines ever built. Following them the Deltic diesel was the best class. I have been fortunate enough to have seen and heard both of these running under full power and they were sights and sounds never to be forgotten. The sound of the Napier engine was so distinctive and could be recognised from a long way off as could the whistle of the A4 Pacifics. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your holiday and hope the weather gremlins don`t follow you.

Thanks for sharing. 🧶🌈🍓💙 P.S. I love Eleanor’s cardi, did you make it yourself?

I grew up in Harrow Weald until I got married and moved to Watford (houses much cheaper)

Fantastic. A wonderful piece of work. Well done.

Another quality video, have a great time in Edinburgh and look forward to seeing the next one

Super video Jack & Elenore, glad you enjoyed your Holiday! You do a great job Scottish accent!

Great video guys, inspiring our next trip to York, it's a lovely place and one where I used to deliver to weekly in the 80s and got to know it well, looking forward to the next video 👍

It was good to meet you today. I enjoy your videos.

I'm from Kenton, Middlesex

Stay strong, and have fun!!!!!, Best wishes to both. Andrew.

Somehow "old" and "1980s" do not correlate in my head. 👴. Was on the North York Moors Railway last week - maybe it's one of your destinations?

Hi Jack. The ruins at 11:03 was a milking parlor which I observed in operation as a child. Re the area, in the mid 20th century the government planned to build a nuclear power station on the Hamstead estate whilst C. R. H. Kindersley was the owner. Kindersley was keen to 'cash in' as unbeknown to the locals his finances were in difficulty. His tenant farming rents were low and the land on offer not great so tenancies changed often and in debt. Wealthier residents within the local communities were raising money to purchase the land when Kindersley realising that the fee probably wouldn't be met (and that a forced purchase may happen to the villagers in any case) suddenly gifted the land to the National Trust for a token fee. Few locals will have known this but our family nursed the farm manager during his last years and who had much to say of what happened up at Hamstead house. As a family we were involved with farming the creek area area but not as a tenant of Kindersley. Regarding the brickworks on the quayside you may want to research John James Lindsay who was son of a the later Hamstead Quay brickworks owner named George Lindsay. John, disillusioned the prospect of life on Hamstead creek emigrated to the USA at 21 years of age and settled in New York where he went on to have family producing a grandson John Lindsay, who became Mayor of New York in 1966. We had this information pre internet but should all be available online now. Corfe Camp on the Newtown side of Shalfleet creek was also gifted in a similar (but slightly later) move to Kindersley but to the scouts, with a covenant that it could never be sold. A pincer movement in protecting the area against complete devastation. Keep up the good work.

Absolutely agree with you. High time Ventnor had its railway back.

Have a great holiday Jack & Elenore, enjoy the North of England, plenty of lovely walks there too!

Great video, thanks for the mention....jeff.

What a great idea! It will be fascinating to find out what’s changed over the years, I’m thinking housing/industry will have been the biggest influences but the old footpaths should have remained the same….. shouldn’t they ??? Interesting to find out and if you can get some ‘then and now’ comparison shots that would be excellent . All the best Richard.
