[@allsearpw3829]

I am 78 and can remember when Branch lines were the Arteries of the Country. When I was Stationed at Bickliegh in Devon, in 1961, I travelled to Plymouth on the old route over Dartmoor, absolutely brilliant. Also to St Ives from Plymouth in 1962. Train journeys are some of my happiest memories. Thanks for your videos, love them.

Yes inded. I grew on Wirral line as akid connections to North Wales and North and South

I'm diggin' this sweet music. KZbin railway journeys have some of the best music to be found. The scenery is very reminiscent of the Illawarra north of Thirroul.

Many thanks

[@susancumisky4019]

Thoroughly enjoyable and brought back lots of memories

[@RailMart]

Your welcome.

[@eduardovasconcalos8370]

Dear sir....what fantastic views and sound track as well...

[@RailMart]

So nice of you

[@joeking5310]

Wow Lelant Saltings must be the worlds busiest station for its size.

[@BevMattocks]

Great, thanks. I've never been on this line but it looks beautiful.

[@RailMart]

It really is!

[@crazyivan7884]

I live next to this and the main line and can honestly say the it is a wonderful section of track and recommend anyone to enjoy the views it has to offer. The line still uses a token system and the token itself is as old (original in fact) the line itself - ask the driver, they will passionately explain and proudly show off this great bit of heritage. Loved seeing a cab view although not sure on the background music! Just to note, The 'Saltings' station is now officially not a stop but the previously almost unused 'Lelant Village' station sees more regular service, its also somewhere i highly recommend people alight and explore. The local area is a hidden gem of beauty and the local pub - the badger inn - a delight to visit if your passing through!

[@RailMart]

Thanks for that wonderful piece of local knowledge.

[@chairmakerPete]

Lovely video. Music not for me, but that's why there's a mute button! Good work.

[@RailMart]

Fair enough!

[@terenceburchett6122]

What a shame there's no track down to Dynamite Quay and the Fuse Shed!

[@tango6nf477]

Hi. At first I thought that the music was going to be the usual rubbish but it grew on me so I didn't mute it, very pretty little trundle along one of the surviving branches, thank you.

[@RailMart]

Cool, thanks!

[@Marcsharp82]

Passengers waiting on Carbis Bay platform :"Ah here's the train. Bang on time" 5 seconds later "Well, looks like we're walking to St Ives"

[@RailMart]

Ha Ha.

[@gurugordon]

Don't think I have ever seen guard rails in a cutting. Any idea why they are being used like that?

[@greatbritishentertainmentl5636]

Nice video on a pretty UK coastal line - might be better if shot in 4K on a sunny day if possible?

[@RailMart]

Noted

[@chrisgreen8803]

It was nice, but didn’t need the background music 🎵😂

[@HH-qm2gc]

Do they still use a single line token there?

[@RailMart]

There is a lock and release from the Ground frame i believe.

[@MrOldways]

Why are there lines in the middle of the track?

[@TukayAway]

Those ones are to prevent a derailment from leaving the track bed.

[@robertcoleman4861]

Greetings from down under(sydney australia) wonderful scenic journey thanks for posting,Is this line on the br network?cheer's bob.

[@RailMart]

Yes Bob. In the South West

[@RichardFelstead1949]

Was this branch ever double track? It looks like it to me.

[@RailMart]

No quite sure.

[@jameslongden3540]

Was apparently the last broad gauge branch line built by the gwr

[@grampus2112]

the route was always single track. St ives had two platforms.the engine shed was on the right before the first overbridge

[@Decrepit_Productions]

Enjoyable video. Don't care for its accompanying music, but it was easy enough to hit 'mute'.

[@RailMart]

Thanks. It was a decision to either run with no sound or Music.

[@GlynGlynn]

good film! - pity about the "music"

[@briantyler531]

I quite liked the music. Jaz Funk is inoffensive I feel

[@DarrenChilvers]

Nice video... 8 out of 10... If it didn't have the annoying lift music and you could hear what the driver years, I would of given 10 out of 10

[@RailMart]

Thanks. It was a decision to either run with no sound or Music. I would love to have recorded the sounds but was not allowed to record Drivers voices.

[@richardkonrad5717]

@@RailMart That's certainly understandable from a legal viewpoint, but they wouldn't let you put a mic outside the cabin to capture only the sounds of the train itself? I've noticed this done with other cab rides on KZbin..

[@craignobbs2455]

Nice video; hate jazz unless it’s hot.

[@RailMart]

Ok, sorry about that. There is always the mute option.

[@stephent1117]

Another Great train trip. Does KZbin have the sound of a steam train in their music library ? Then you could shut the moaning gits up. Best Wishes.

[@RailMart]

Thanks. Not that I have seen, but will have a look.

[@tk48states]

Much prefer rr sounds.

[@RailMart]

Look out for my Next Video. Crewe - Shrewsbury.
