All I want for Christmas is a random Essex station!

[@paulhughes6779]

Very interesting.

[@Andrewjg_89]

I have been to Althorne once before which there isn't much there. But I have been to Burnham-on-Crouch and Southminster.

[@brianlehman710]

You are my favorite train nerd. See ya in the new year.

[@sarahwiththetrains]

Thank you so much! Have a happy New Year!

[@ReubenAshwell]

Brilliant video Sarah, this looks like a nice little station. I'm so glad Brian wasn't lost, that would have been sad if he was lost.

[@ElijahsTransport]

Great video sarah!

[@zitzong]

Merry Christmas Sarah and have a happy new year!

[@adrianrutterford762]

Definitely rocking the Santa hat. Thank you for some great videos in 2024. Have a great Yuletide everyone.

[@introvertdave]

10:50 It took me far too long to realise that wasn't a massive crater next to the level crossing! 🤣

[@sarahwiththetrains]

Took me a minute to get what you meant but now I can't unsee it 🤣

[@Anonymoususer_8823]

I’ve been on the Greater Anglia Class 720s so much that they are becoming more popular. Even c2c have now started using the Class 720/6s.

Colchester to Colchester Town is very useful.

[@watsonwatt7984]

Really liked this Video as well as seeing you in The Trains Actually vlog where it looked as you all had a fantastic time & have just subscribed to your channel👍

[@sarahwiththetrains]

Thank you so much for subscribing! I had a brilliant time meeting Jen, Simon and the others! I'm so lucky to be part of this wonderful community!

[@Thornaby37]

Excellent video, Sarah 👍 That would have been a disaster if you had lost Brian, so I'm glad he was found safe and well Wishing you a very Merry Christmas

[@sarahwiththetrains]

Very much a crisis averted! I put him in my pocket after he met SimOnTrains the previous weekend and forgot to return him to my bag! Hope you had a lovely Christmas!

[@Sim0nTrains]

Great video Sarah. Another interesting Station, also notice that you now got a mic for the camera?

[@sarahwiththetrains]

Thanks Simon! I certainly did! This was it's first outing (unless you count me chatting rubbish into it in my lounge the night before to make sure it worked)! Still getting used to it!

[@suecj8770]

Merry Christmas from New Zealand. Great to see some wonderful views of Essex. Keep up the great work. Dave

[@michaelaFlangee]

hi happy christmas and thanks for the videos I do enjoy them and your style of presentation.

[@rogermaybank9345]

I know how you feel about Brian. Everywhere I drive I have a fluffy pet rook called Ronnie who is sat in the back seat (wearing a Seat belt) I do think he brings me good fortune. Happy Christmas Sarah.

[@carlwilson1772]

Great film Sarah. Your channel is going from strength to strength. Merry Christmas and thanks for all the great content in 2024.

[@fhwolthuis]

Happy Christmas and thanks for another nice video 🎄🌟😃

[@Mousehole-Rail]

Very good video and I hope you have a lovely Christmas Day

[@Vincent-ow9lj]

Another quality video from Sarah. Just an idea, but would be great if you could mention the car parking charges at the stations. Merry Christmas all.

[@sarahwiththetrains]

Hope you had a nice Christmas Vincent! I'll endeavour to add that in to future videos as it certainly is important 🙂

[@MichaelSebastianTodd]

brilliant vlog

[@mervynrogers7354]

Happy Xmas Sarah and thanks for all your content this year. Hope you get a windproof mike from Santa!

[@NeilScott-j4g]

Merry Christmas, Sarah.

[@philipharris-c2j]

i have now watched 2 of of your videos and enjoyed them, try Burnham-on-Crouch in the summer

[@sarahwiththetrains]

@philipharris-c2j So glad you enjoyed the videos! Would love to visit this area in the warmer weather!

[@daliverpoolfan69]

[@Ztbmrc1]

You look great with that Santa Clause hat! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!

Loved the video Sarah Merry Christmas

[@PaulGibson-f7x]

Superb merry Christmas

[@teecefamilykent]

Happy Christmas!

[@johnrafferty8087]

Another Good Old Video

[@AndrewRobinson-b8y]

Is it just me but wasn’t there a great big hole in the track next to the crossing

[@sarahwiththetrains]

I didn't notice that at first until somebody else pointed it out. The anti-trespass spikes certainly make it look like the ground has fallen away in that shot.

[@PamelaBane]

Merry Christmas Sarah, hopefully you will resume your very entertaining random station visit in 2025.🎅☃🎄

[@sarahwiththetrains]

Hope you had a lovely Christmas! I certainly will be! There are plenty left for me to visit!

[@Dave50plus]

Happy Christmas

[@fussyboy2000]

Have you been to the end of the branch at Southminster yet?

[@sarahwiththetrains]

That's coming up in another video!

[@QALibrary]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well - thank you for the many videos you have done this year... Also, why are you not listed as a channel member seeing you have a membership of your own channel?

[@polythenewrappedme6102]

Happy Christmas, Sarah ! May 2025 become of your happiest years yet. Safe travels. Keep away from those with sneezes ! You do know you could do Battlesbridge and Althorne at the same time.... Althorne has a nice level crossing.

[@alanshelly7068]

Merry Christmas to you too Sarah from Alan in Lowestoft ❤😊

[@leeklass3907]

Merry Cristmas I enjoyed thwevideo parts of are familiiar as I travel on Southend Victoria to London Liverpool Street line

[@ianr]

Brilliant video Sarah! Ditto my comments elsewhere. 👍🙂

[@danielwoodhouse5531]

Ingatestone Thats my random Essex Station

[@PaulSmith-pl7fo]

Hi Sarah. What is it with you and flappy bin bags - have you been watching too many of Geoff Marshall's videos? Good to see Brian reappear.

[@sarahwiththetrains]

I'm not totally sure where the flappy plastic bin thing came from (quite possibly absorbed it from watching a lot of Geoff Marshall! That and needing somewhere to get rid of my kitkat wrappers!). I'm actually intrigued to know how many times I've said it over the last couple of years.

[@FourthDrawerDown]

Brian located- crisis averted 🐇

[@TransportVloggerIan]

That's a Station Road? It doesn't look much of a station road
