Cool video. Regardigg the racedays at Newmarket; there are no specials run on racedays, in fact if they could the jockey club etal would have the railway removed from the town if they could - cant be having all that noise disturbing theor precious horses. You are not the first to be severely underwhelmed by Newmarket station either, most people are. The town it self is tiny and full of jockeys, racing staff, alcoholics, drug dealers, druggies, and the occasional decent human.. ok i am exaggerating a little but its not pretty at all, not like it used to be and at night it sometimes isnt very safe to be in - especially on race days. I like dullingham station, its pretty and surprisingly busy for how small it is and how far away from anywhere it is, and by the way, what on earth did you do the whole time you were there 🤣 I would suggest you come to Soham but you would be stuck here for at least an hour, depending on the time and there isnt much to do here 😅 Keep uo the good work 😊

It might be worth just sticking a high pass filter on the audio in your editing software just to take the super low wobbing sound out. It's pretty unnerving listening with big speakers.

Just before the class 720s were introduced by Greater Anglia, they had a consultation period and one of the points I raised was about the lack of padding in the seats! Although, to be fair, I actually find them to be quite comfortable on my daily commute. I find the seats on the class 745 much more uncomfortable, simply because the seat backs are so tall (at least for me).

There used to be a Ciba-Geigy chemical works at Great Chesterford. I had a job interview there in the 1980s. Back then the train ftom Cambridge was a rattling Class 105. Ciba Geigy had a private siding for delivery of chemical raw materials. Anyway I didn’t get the job. I guess the works closed as I didn't see any sign of it in your film.
@Pesmog3 күн бұрын
Isn't that the site that is now Huntsman chemicals? Its quite a way north of the village and is really closer to Duxford village than Chesterford. The site did used to have its own sidings, the route of which can still be seen on google earth. 👍

@Pesmog looking at Google Maps you're probably right. I thought the site was closer to Great Chesterford, but it's a long time ago and my memory could be playing tricks.

Sarah behind your left shoulder, in the view of you at the London End of the Up Platform, you can see a brick building with white weatherboards on the roof, in the station car park. This is the original waiting shelter for Platform 3 (the branch line to Bartlow Junction). I have actually walked the trackbed from Ashdon to Bartlow Junction, when the Signalbox at Bartlow Junction was still there. You could climb the Signalbox. Done it ! The second footbridge, is the older one.

Hi, Sarah, another fascinating video, thank you. I wonder if I may make a suggestion which could enhance your commentary; would it be worth considering adding a 'railway map' of the places you visit within your videos? This would certainly help people who don't know the area that you are covering. Just a thought. Regards, Eric.

Fantastic video Sarah and really good research into the stations history. I also love the humility you show by not only acknowledging but being totally up front about your mistake. There are some good tea rooms in Battlesbridge, my favourite is Drakes Tea Rooms which is about ten minutes walk from the station and is on a converted RCL (Routemaster) bus.

Thank you so much! Always glad to know people are enjoying my videos! There was a brief moment, after I zoomed in slightly more on Google maps thus discovering the second antiques centre and making my heart drop, where I considered just cutting the whole bit about the antiques centre but I ultimately thought there was no sense hiding it. My mistake resulted in a lovely cup of tea and a scone so it worked out ok! I must go back and visit again especially after finding out there's a tea room on a Routemaster!
