We all need an emotional support jish

Really interesting video. Is there a list of the ststions still required at Northampton?

Indeed on the Nottingham-Grantham and Nottingham-Newark lines there are definitely some very odd timetables!

Visiting every station in Northamptonshire is as complicated as I would think. Also easiest way to tell if someone ain't local, it is how they pronounce Kettering. Though weirdly my local station now is the one you begin your journey in.

Think you missed a trick on this one. There's a station called Hope on both lines. Could have included it on a point yo point or pointless journey maybe?

I saw you on an avanti west coast train on Saturday qt Rugby

Can you get it at Peterborough

I think Reddish Sth only had 2 platforms, but I do know that it was once the station for the Standard Wagon railway co. works, which was alongside, on the right, going to Stalybridge..hence the additional railway land.. The booking office was originally on the main road, and access to the platforms was via a covered stairway down to the platforms.. It was a common sight for many years to see a long line of wagons in the loops, for the works, again on the right when travelling to Stalybridge. and these were stabled between Ash Bridge(nr Heaton Norris) and Reddish, many of them having "COND" painted on the side, indicating condemned, so either for scrapping, or to be refurbed at the works next to Reddish Stn.

3:50 That waiting shelter you like includes a design feature that British Telecom started adding to telephone boxes, after they were privatised - a big air gap at the bottom that lets in drafts and freezes your feet. I believe that sort of feature is there to make sure the shelters are not so nice that homeless people will sleep in them. I think that shelters like that really suck, especially outside London, where the train frequencies are so poor that you might actually need to wait a couple of hours in the shelter. In staffed stations I've seen plenty of shelters without the evil air gap and with doors. Shelters like that work much much better in the cold weather.

4:40 I'm one of them 32 people!

11:13 Netherfield just looks like a wider Denton don't you think?

❤all these mini tours of Britain 🇬🇧 thank you 🙏 and never stop 🛑 you’re a star ⭐

really appreciate the comedy arrow on the thumbnail.....not

isiting it in tsw 😂

a true anorak

I’m so sorry to hear that Nick. East Midlands Railway should be ashamed for cancelling a train that you were going to board. Typical EMR.

Great video 👍 A lot of those stations appear to be in the middle of nowhere Not sure about running, but you could probably beat the train between Fiskerton and Rolleston on a bike

i was one of the last people on the 507s. i went on one the day before this

I noticed that some of the yet-to-be-filled-in station slots on the ticket wall at Northampton appear to be in Brat green with the same font as Brat as well. Please someone tell me those have been there pre-Brat Summer, because if they were that'd be fucking amazing

I do feel really bad for you Nick. Why would East Midlands Railway do that to you. Shame on EMR. Anyways I do like the Class 170 Turbostars that now have EMR purple livery.

it's so sad hearing the defeat in your voice towards the end of this journey... i hope you get to make the planned trip in the future

안녕 하세요? 항상 멋진날 되세요 행운을 빕니다 파이팅

9:45 do a race

For a quieter station, Netherfield's platform seems too wide.....

It's possible. Men have ran a 4 minute mile..

7:05 The signal's green because the crossing is an automatic crossing, it's only the Manually Controlled crossings that the signal protects

I've just christened you Nick 'It's not the end of the world' Badley. Good to keep to your own rules within hobbies, I do the same. Always good when an ultra tight connection works, the ones National Rail don't tell you about - once managed Platform 3 to Platform 10 at Crewe in 3 minutes. The Coventry-Wolverhampton corridor is crowded enough without Chiltern and GWR, it's just a shame seating capacity isn't sufficient e.g. XC.

I would do it all but a lot of still inaccbile

Thanks!

Thank you for sharing Nick.

"Trust me, it will work" Famous last words of a plan not working

Who is Hugo

Rolleston station can get busy on some days. It's adjacent to Southwell Racecourse, and on race days, it sees more passengers.

Take note of those retro "drip boards" on those new shelters. They acknowledge older station designs.

‘If you spot anything worrying’. How many times has there been a call from some one on an on time Northern train? Only joking, that doesn’t exist 😂

Unfun fact about the Lincolnshire Day Ranger: it's not valid on the North Linconshire line to Barton -on-Humber :-(

Brilliant video Nick, it's a real shame the only train to Elton and Orston was cancelled and you had to change plans as a result.

Good old EMR, being retired I go out by train one or two days a week and am currently averaging 1.5 Delay Repay claims a month.

15:13 there is a whole world going to open for you if you ever visit the Netherlands

You missed Collingham and Newark Northgate if you wanted to visit all the Notts. stations on a Lincs. Day Ranger.

7:06 it was red few seconds ago at 6:45

Glad you have a good hobbie.mate, you seem to like it, and it gets you exploring. Would you go to Europe?

One day, I WILL BE BACK!

Just don't walk from Aslockton to Elton & Orston in heavy rain in early January, you'll be completely soaked

🎶🎵Hooray for trip to Spalding! The Lincolnshire Day Ranger. Please don’t be a stranger. Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!🎵🎶

Netherfield is a rather bizzard station. It gets 10 trai s a day and only 3 go to Nottingham. The rest go to Skeggy or Grantham. There is one on a Saturday where it goes through to Liverpool for some reason. 😂

Netherfield once had an array of station buildings on that island platform, hence the width, was longer, and originally called 'Colwick'
