Exellent😊

Most or all of these clips have clearly been sped up. It's clear ftom how fast the text is moving at 0:50

Just so you know, I can 100% tell that some clips were sped up. No fooling me.

What platform would i need to be on going to Hatfield and Stainforth not heard off the place going to see some mates. Travel from Grimsby to Scunthorpe then change at Scunthorpe

Hi

So sad that they can’t stop there anymore 465s are better running and the 700s seats are horrible and always delayed 😢

Zzzzzz

0:10 FAST 😳

Amazing video great.

I need to get from the uk to sofia by train but haven’t had any luck yet

Swale has to be my favourite platform of all time, although I’ve never actually set foot on the platform.

Excellent selection of motive power, both 65 and 592 too - the Bluebell cupboard stripped of goodies! The Ivatt wasn't out of place either, altogether nice with the BB to round it out.

Tally ho, chaps! 🧐👍

Lol oh thats really mad, sure i saw this vid some years ago but it was too much to comment for me. She also done a vid while in charge of 59205 track-side at the new Drayton fly-over! I'll u/l it one day :)

I have a vid i should upload soon of her blasting 66055 on a Calvert, on the single line after getting the token from the token machine. Her lovely token machine!

Where she was based. She was taking early retirment around this time ooof. May of been her in cab or shunting. Oh the stories this spotta has. . .

And there's one of her many workings she drove. The amount of times she foned me, "i'm on the bins again darlin" lol. Usually Brentford/Northolt/Cricklewood - Calvert/Appleford's . . . Jeez. . . .

Nice, what a site! Once the largest intergrated steelworks in the world. 2000 tons of imported iron ore every 2 hours to feed the 4 furnaces i believe. A commodity my ex g/f didn't transport much n her freight trains, being around London, but she moved plenty of stone lol!

I lived in Dittisham and Dartmouth in Devon 1993-2001. Yeah yeah why did i move away?!?! Sometimes I DO wonder!!! I worked at Dart Marina Hotel in Dartmouth and during the summer I frequently left my desk in reception to stand and watch the steam trains go past on the other side of the river, whistle blowing up the Dart Valley. Newton Abbott is rather grand isn't it! Why DOES that recorded announcement say Totness?!? All the local men in the pub I worked in 1993 said 'Totnus...' barely pronouncing the vowel between the n and s. Anyway... was a great station for speeding HSTs. Paignton has a brilliant level crossing. 12:00 looks a bit like Ipplepen direction. Gorgeous. Shame there isn't the sound of HSTs anymore! Love the pup 12:45 You'd need a lottery win to move to Devon now. Even the signal boxes cost a fortune, it seems.

We went to Switzerland in 2016, stayed in Fribourg and got the train to Bern. I was giddy - swiss trains!! Even though our Swiss friend said they aren't like they used to be they were still streets ahead of British trains!

Varied, but not varied isn't it! All the same cab style, I suppose if it works, it works.

I really did prefer the Class 73-hauled Gatwick Express!

So odd to think that a 47 is a heritage loco!

That wonderful sound!! I used to get the Class 206 'Tadpole' on the Reading-Tonbridge line.

I 'm lucky enough to remember going on the older Class 485/486 stock!! But the '38 stock is also utterly wonderful. I remember them running in London!

I really wish I'd visited Tonbridge as a kid in the 80s. I've seen video of SUCH a busy and varied place! When I was 8 I wrote to British Railways then chairman Sir Peter Parker, asking a class 47 to 'go slowly past my house' (to see it). He wrote back!! And said 'we would not wish to delay services...' but sent me a First Class ticket to travel to Reading to the HST etc. So mum and I went in August 1979. It was sunny and hot and sadly we don't have a single photo. But I still have the ticket and letter! I had a girlfriend in Hildenborough.

In the footsteps of Metro-land and Betjeman!

I wonder does Warnham still have the Warnham War Museum.... quite near the Bluebell Railway. Horsham is quite wonderful isn't it! Almost as fab as Surbiton

Its little wonder that I was into trains as a boy, I grew up in Dorking - born 1972. The Reading-Tonbridge line ran behind my house which if you take the train from Dorking West to Deepdene our house was on the left just before the station. This line is a classic 'leaves on the line' line. We used to listen to the trains sliding into Deepdene and not being able to get out of Deepdene toward Guildford all autumn. The traction was quite varied then, Class 33's were regular visitors as well as 47s, then the 206 'Tadpole' Units and then 119 DMUs before what there is now. There was never that problem in the steam days and they kept the trees cut back to avoid lineside fires. I'm SO glad that the Boxhill station buildings have survived, when I was spotting in the late 70s onward they were very dilapidated and when Dorking North (very similar style) was needlessly bulldozered in 1980 I think they nearly were too. (Dorking folk reckon that it was a shady deal!). Drivers used to let me travel in the cab up to Boxhill and back - 4SUB or 4EPB or 4VEP. I have a piece of the old iron canopy struts somewhere. I was there most days and the staff knew me well, there was Fred that often let me collect and/or clip rickets when the trains emptied at evening rush hour (I'd meet my dad), Simon, a biker (Boxhill of course is biker heaven on a Sunday) that bought chippy chips for staff one evening and 'accidentally' bought for me too. Mr Dixon the station master who was the first person i ever heard curse lol and then an Italian guy Mick, who once brought an air rifle in to work, and shot pigeons off the roof of the old Platform 2&3 buildings.....!!! not sure if he ate them. Maybe if he was a Tuscan Italian, as pigeon is a staple there haha.... Also SO glad to see that Denbies has honoured that footpath - when I was a kid and teen it was all maize, and me and a mate would make a camp and smoke our first cigarettes there! Deepdene platform used to be just long wooden planks, and during wet weather or snow and ice, was utterly lethal. I went to school in Guildford 83-86 and had a good few slips! Dorking West was Dorking Town when I was a kid, it is beside my old middle school - St Martins. If you stay on the train to Gomshall, that is staggered too, and until very recently you still had to cross the tracks to get to the 'main' side. Despite no recorded fatalities - accidental or otherwise, there is a footbridge now. Better for wheelchair access of course. Gomshall had a wonderful signal box. I haven't stood on Dorking main platform like that for years, I see the underpass is still there as well as the footbridge. Look at this - an interesting (almost) 40 year comparison! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqPMpH2FgJWcb6s On the far side of Platform 3 there used to be about 6 sidings. So it would be full of 4SUB/4EPB every morning and eve, and meant I got to see some workings too! I spent a lot of time up in the signal box there too, the signal man - Don - carried me over the third rail. It was amazing up there. The hotel as you arrive at Dorking was called the Star & Garter, my grandmother took me and my sister there for lunch frequently and it was quite old school back then, a bit Fawlty Towers type decor. It changed names about 5 times! and was never busy. Thanks for this. A lovely trip and of course its just how i remember it - sunny and warm! And do you know what, I have never seen a Dorking Cockerel (other than that horrid steel thing at the top of Deepdene Avenue). 🐔🍳

Hello sir 😊

Very nice

Jolly good! 👍

I love berney arms. Such an anomaly that a station like that still exists on the modern network. Glad I ticked it off a few years ago then walked to Yarmouth

Why should you stop filming ? It’s in a public place and for a good cause

Walked it yesterday In the opposite direction. Took 4 hrs 52 mins. But we stopped the clock for lunch. Only two pubs. One for Lunch and one at the End

At 3:50 what are the blocks/covers for?

It just needs a warning to turn the volume down I've just woke the neighbours up

Let me guess, nobody's around?

Why are they so slow?

Congrats to both of you for completing the walks over the years, 431 miles that's a fair old trek, great achievement that! Been enjoying the videos documenting the journey, although if you do decide to do Elizabeth Line, Overground, DLR, etc. you'd probably double yer mileage! Either way looking forward to whatever videos are up next and another well done from me! :)

Well done, lads! 👍🍻

😈 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘮

train enthusisasts are the most patient of people 😄

Excellent video!

Great video.

Jolly good videos, Graham!

Not the Locarno Ballroom then? 👍

2022 and i am here now

There are only 378s and 465s where are the new 707s
