Glovestrains. My husband, John, and I are old fogeys [71 and74]. We love your videos. John has been a train lover all his life, I think, and I have been since I met him in 1979. I love your little song [Knickers on your head]. very impressive singing it in Welsh! Bora da! Keep up the good work. [Sheila]

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks Sheila!! (And John!)

[@KirbyONeilDJSpeed]

Don't say your old Fogeys, your wise and love Trains, but you are Right about GLovesTrains she is Impressive.👍

[@glenbailey436]

Hiya G, very good video as always, good of you to go to film these stations for me to see and the Welsh singing is brilliant thanks G xxx ❤

[@GLovesTrains]

Thankyou Glen!! 😄

[@Sim0nTrains]

Morfa Mawddach used to be called Barmouth Junction as trains diverted away from the Cambrian Coast line along the Ruabon to Barmouth Line via Dolgellau, Bala and even Llangollen which the Llangollen Railway operates trains to Corwen and the Bala Lake Railway lies on one of the track bed as well at 5:46 that poster is what Morfa Mawddach used to look like. great video and really enjoyed the trip along the Cambrian Coast Line.

[@GLovesTrains]

You know everything you Cyber :P thanks bud!

[@geoffbrookes4594]

Well of course he knows everything…..he’s a Rugeley guy. 😎

[@dennisgoulding6185]

Exceptional work again your Welsh is getting better every time you speak loving this series 👍👍👍

[@thomasoakleyderbyshire9761]

Nice video. Yes dyffryn did originally have 2 platforms years ago around the 1960s i believe and the station building is also being refurbished and turned into a house

[@MidlandRailEnthusiast]

Day 5 of you Exploring North Wales By Train. was awesome G especially that station right by the sea the views from that station were absolutely stunning it definitely looks like a route definitely worth travelling on just to take in the amazing scenery I continue to enjoy watching this series G carry on being awesome keep up the good work and I look forward to Day Six until then take care and stay safe

[@lordgrumpy7747]

G. Fantastic video. As they say in Shrewsbury. It's stunning my dear. Lovely views. Places worth visiting. Thank you as always

[@GLovesTrains]

Absholutely shtunning! :P

[@MichaelSebastianTodd]

i enjoyed this one the views on this route look amazing and im loving all the stations and already i love this route awesome work as always and im looking forward to the next North Wales adventure

[@WHRBERT]

Great to see you enjoying my local railway. Both my parents, 2 brothers, 2 cousins and an uncle worked on the Cambrian, and I did too for a little while, so it's a very special line to me and has a great community spirit.

[@NELincsTransport]

Great video, Wales is a beautiful part of the UK

[@nudgenudgewinkwink3212]

I love 8pm on tuesdays me is it that time already!

[@barrowc]

Lovely video, G! The energy in this vlog is fantastic, we've got great music (and some excellent dance moves) and it's just a beautifully crafted video to enjoy. Thanks for all the early starts and long distances and unhelpful lack of toilets that you went through to make this video and all the other ones that you made on your week off work. It is much appreciated!

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks barrowc, speaking of toilets... I now need to go lol :)

[@carlwilson1772]

Another brilliant, exuberant and fun film in a part of the country that holds great memories for me. I spent time in Fairbourne in 1996, the Royal Air Force outdoor training centre is there. I went there when I was in the RAF. Went up Cader Idris, did some stuff mucking about in rivers at Dollgellau. Also had a barbecue and few beers with my mates on the same lovely beach you were on. I remember the miniature railway, the shop, it hardly seems to have changed. Looking forward to your next film. You cheer me up immensely.

[@MrGreatplum]

Such a wonderful stretch of railway, as excellently filmed by your good self! Many years ago (the late 80s) I remember getting the train from Morfa Mawddach to Barmouth as we were camping near there!

[@markhoneyslug]

Came here on the hunt for literally any new Class 777 or Class 230 content a couple of weeks ago, stayed to absolutely rinse the North West By Train series. The Welsh series is fab but having to ration myself on watching these as they are very moreish and there's not many of your vids left I've not watched! Properly entertaining stuff.

[@GLovesTrains]

Haha thankyouuu

[@simonpilk]

Your series is quite addictive and it is great that you have travelled to this really stunning section of line and have got off at all of the individual smaller stations and explored the area. I learned quite a bit!

[@jamiesmith8042]

Another cracking video. Your vlogs give me so many ideas for trips away. Happy travelling! 👌

[@cdb1959]

Another great video - stunning scenery, nice weather and great presentation. Don’t ever change!

[@tomdg13]

I love that bridge.

[@Leonard_Smith]

Excellent. All boxes ticked and a smile too!

[@llantysiliolightrailway5628]

G Loves Trains you have done it again, great presentation with wonderful scenery and wonderful facts. Your media work is top-notch and very professional, keep them coming please. Kind regards Mark-Edwyn.

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks Mark-Edwyn!

[@elliot7392]

Great video! I remember when I went to Barmouth and Paul was my conductor, cracking bloke!

[@hermitageroad4713]

it's a fantastic line went on it 50 years ago still looks great loved the video

[@Dave68Goliath]

Fairbourne. A little piece of heaven on Earth.

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Super travel series. Definitely recommend checking out the Talyllyn Railway if you have some minutes spare at Tywyn when you visit. It's just down the road from the station but is a very lovely place, even without hopping on the train. Toilets and cafe too - always useful on trips like this!

[@Thornaby37]

Absolutely brilliant, G 👍 Plenty of lovely scenery, beautiful weather, and you met the legendary Conductor Paul again. It looks like you had an awesome day I'll remember next time I'm enjoying the sea view to have a pack of Rich Tea biscuits with me

[@GLovesTrains]

For sure them rich teas are addictive!

[@666maiden5]

Your filming is getting better and better every video your channel is awesome G keep it up 🇮🇪🤘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@ReubenAshwell]

Brilliant video, some lovely stations on this route and Barmouth looks like a beautiful place I'd love to visit sometime, especially the bridge. Conductor Paul sounds like he's awesome. :)

[@alienzombie1819]

may sound boring, but i'm gonna say it anyway, another great video G

[@GLovesTrains]

Never boring haha!

[@JimWall]

Another good vid .Admittedly I'm a little biased because it's my local line but, (in my experiences so far on the railway) yep best guards are on the Cambrian Coast Line. Always very helpful and friendly. Although I have to say, I've never had an announcement on the in train announcement thing before despite the number of years I've traveled on the line. Look forward to seeing your visit to my local station (Talsarnau).

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks Jim!

[@joannewelsh6593]

Great vlog again love the scenery along the coast, great series so far👍

[@hojomoone]

Absolutely frickin' marvellous! Keep doing Wales G 😊

[@TravelJackJourneys158]

Excellent video brought back a lot of memories for me as I did meny of those stations mainly in the Arriva Trains Wales Days That Fairbourne Railway I did a driver experience on that a few years ago great day out it was

[@wdhpne]

Really enjoying the North Wales series

[@mumdoesntlovetrainsvlogsan353]

The Welsh singing did it for me awesome 👏🏻

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks Mum dont love those trains!

[@fruitking6916]

Great vid, wales has it all, amazing coastal views along with awesome countryside and what better way to explore it wearing your knickers on your head 😊 nice one G 👍🏼

[@SamsVlogstrainsmore]

Great vlog G. Some nice stations. The scenery is just gorgeous! Your Welsh is way better than mine. Also Conductor Paul is a legend. I enjoyed as always!

[@GLovesTrains]

Haha for sure! Thanks Sam!

[@cheshuntvlogs]

You're videos get better and better and keep up the amazing work

[@treinenliefde]

The more I see your videos the more I wanna go ride some trains in the UK lol. Such a stunning landscape always, definitely better than here in the Netherlands haha.

[@Olivers-trains]

Nice video. I had a great time in Wales last week. I went to a few stations. Bangor, Porthmadog, Caernarfon, Harlech and the Ffestiniog. I stayed at the foot of Snowden and had the Ffestiniog on the side of the mountains which we travelled along with the Gelert explorer going from Caernarfon to Beddgelert which translates to grave of Gelert there is some legend about Gelert IDK any of it. I didn't get a chance to visit Pwllheli sadly. My last visit to Pwllheli station I saw my first TFW unit in Wales and the second TFW train but annoyingly it was one I had saw about a month before in the rain at Wakefield Kirkgate. On my way home I saw a lot of Engineering trains around Llandudno Junction

[@lapiswake6583]

I remember back in 2015, I was in Barmouth with my friend and we walked across the bridge, then caught the train back across, 1 stop to Barmouth again. Really need to go back and do more of this line. I did the Fairbourne railway in about 2005, so I barely remember it. I plan to do all the railways I did around then again, like the Snowdon Mountain Railway and the Bala Lake Railway, plus ones I haven't yet done like the Vale of Rheidol (from Aberystwyth) and the Talyllyn (from Tywyn) and the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway (in Porthmadog). I hope you make mention of the length of the platform at Llandanwg when you do that one. It's so small.

[@leeroberts1192]

Many years ago we were staying in Llandudno and we went to Snowdon on a day trip. Our coach had just arrived at the railway and there was a MASSIVE queue. Just after we got of the coach that announced that all the trains for that day were fully book. Lucky for us we got our tickets via the coach company. Hoping to see GLovesTrains visit LLanfair PG, longest station name in the UK

[@ianmurray908]

Nice one G keep smiling stay beautiful

[@darrenwilson8042]

I love Barmouth - had a few camping trips there in the past

[@michaelmelia6622]

Great vlog again G, as always! Neat that you got to see Paul the conductor again. We'll have to travel down the Cambrian Coastline next we visit the UK. The Cumbrian Coastline is my favourite until then. Thanks for all your wonderful rail vlogs as always. Love ya G. 😃

[@geoffbrookes4594]

Oh G…..you missed your chance of a very different blog at Dyffryn…..you were just half an hours walk from the Naturist beach 😂🤣.👣. The trail at Morfa is the old line that used to go to Ruabon , but now goes 8 miles to Dolgellau . Long walk …great on a bike. x

[@GLovesTrains]

Ooo really 😂

[@simondavey7787]

The Welsh knicker song gets me every time! Did you get lunch that day or were Rich Teas your meal?

[@GLovesTrains]

Haha I brought one of my sandwich creations along :)

[@scottmckenzie365]

Woo u look amazing I wish I was on a train with you keep up the good logs

[@moxon2313]

Great Video Georgia. I have been to Shotton and Hawarden Bridge Stations today

[@Andrewjg_89]

I do like your “SQUIZZY BABIES” Welsh chant. Got to say that the whole route is really unique and beautiful. Really enjoying your video and humour. 😂😂

[@jonathanr-p6761]

Great video once again G, I love the content makes great viewing thank you P.S still waiting for you to come to Leeds

[@Jimwoodward1212]

More on the Barmouth Branch

[@karlydoc]

One of your best videos yet.Your Coverage of the environment is brilliant,really good camera set ups and brilliant narration,god bless ya G.

[@paulyh4531]

Another good vid well done love 👍😉

[@KirbyONeilDJSpeed]

Tung twister sayings, but , but you say it easy, Lovin it, and what a Poem you read out, Wow indeed how beautiful the View looks really nice, You deserved that rich tea Biscuit, and a Coffee this is a great Jaw dropping Vlog G, Take care and Thanks G

[@AaronD_]

i like this series

[@AndySk81]

Highlight of the week 😃👍🏻

[@anthonylane6772]

Another very good video G. I'll pay a visit there at some stage. When i don't know yet but I'll try. See you in the next Video. Bless you & have a good day and a safe ony as well.

[@anthonylane6772]

Many thank's. Bless you

[@jacobporrett]

Great video G. I have been to Barmouth many a time before and I've been in that co-op as well before. Guess it has a ticket machine because it's a busy station. The bridge is good for walking up and down and good for spotting. You get really up close to the trains. Lovely views along the line by the looks of it. Barmouth has an interesting rock shop if you've been in there. Might find some rude/inappropriate rocks if you look closely. You bring good energy to your videos. Looking forward to the next installment of this series. Keep up the great work.

[@GLovesTrains]

Ooo rude rock you say 😂

[@jacobporrett]

@@GLovesTrains Yeah, you'll have to have a look for yourself 😅

[@clarkfamily50383paul]

Great video G - as always - and delighted you made it to Barmouth Bridge at long last! Good to hear that you are planning the full walk across the bridge from Morfa Mawddach next time. Did you know that Fairbourne is threatened with closure because of rising sea levels?

[@andysneddon962]

The whole village could well be under water within a few decades, very sad.

[@Alan_Watkin]

the best place in the uk , the north/mid wales cost , but im sure you get that now....... what a place, an its not small LOVE NORTH WALES also talybont has a fantastic beach that not alot go to, abit of a walk from the train but while the tide is out its a good 1 ive camped here a abit but its dunes can even offer free beach camping/ruff camping, that stretch of the coast is ace

[@iana6713]

I recognise those Rich Teas! Get them in one of my local shops - cheap and tasty. Can't ask for more! Had my own train trip yesterday, on a 170 one way and a 158 back so a bit of variety.

[@arthurdailey4514]

Brilliant production again, great start to the day watching this 😊😊.

[@K5NOV]

Great vid and love this part of Wales

[@GLovesTrains]

Thankyouuu

[@jamesabbott5242]

Awesome video

[@ianbolton9309]

Super vlog as ever great views again that's a fab line, and the wonderful Barmouth Bridge to walk on too. Keep up the good work can't wait till next week's vid thanks G 👍🙂

[@PlanespottingMayhem]

Great video! When will the Metrolink Zone 4 Video come out?

[@ACslife23]

Cant wait to get to my hometown of Wrexham

[@stevieinselby]

Morfa Mawddach is the only request stop I've used. On holiday in the area, we wanted to get the train up the coast from Barmouth to Harlech for the day, but on the way back we carried on to Morfa Mawddach so that we could then walk back across the fabulous Barmouth Bridge.

[@wwebradbutt]

Amazing vlog ❤️ @glovetrains plus how your day doing

[@davidbennett4216]

Enjoying your vids. x

[@stuartrawson5057]

Fantastic vlog G there are some awesome views along this line loved the singing ❤❤❤❤❤ooops did you go the wrong way at the end😂

[@cazroberts9434]

Fun Fact for Talybont Railway Station - also known as the runway due to the length of the platform. Barmouth Viaduct is amazing to walk over and it's my hometown

[@musicgarryj]

Yet another great video! One thing is puzzling me however, 0:24 A mysteriously teasing shot of the entrance to Machynlleth station: but details of the station itself are not included in the video! Perhaps the name might be a bit tricky.....but you've been doing such a heroic job pronouncing Welsh station names so far, I can't imagine you'd have any problems getting your tongue around that one ? :)

[@GLovesTrains]

Not in North Wales 😜

[@musicgarryj]

@@GLovesTrains Ok...fair enough! I'm sure you'll get round to going down there eventually!! :)

[@offichannelnurnberg5894]

Again, I'm sad, if 0:35 is all of North Wale's railways.

[@harrymcandrew1447]

i must be going mad thinking your next upload will be ''exsploring the northwest '' stead of north wales

[@andywright3450]

Hey G great vlog sweety ...am thinking of comeing too Colwyn bay Wales I have never been before for a holiday there have you ever been there and if so is it any good there and much too do ....is there any trains from South Yorkshire too Wales please thanku xx 🤗

[@paulnolan5451]

I use to deliver cakes to the co-op by the station in Barmouth.

[@DaveinLeeds]

Many years ago my sister lived for a short period in a little cottage very close to Talybont station, I wonder if it's still there?

[@harryelliott4310]

Trains Station 🚉

[@oliver2268]

At every request stop if you request it at the platform the driver blasts their horn to acknowledge you.

[@BeakersAreCool]

Another cracking vlog G, the views from everywhere are the best I've seen in all your vlogs they are breathtakingly stunning, I don't know why but 'squishy boobies' sounds better in Welsh (weird I know). The TFW 158's are as stunning as the scenery. Thank you for your vlogs they are joyous to watch and are over far too quickly. Looking forward to the next one, stay safe

[@GLovesTrains]

Hahaha I like it in Welsh too 😂

[@scottmckenzie365]

If up in Scotland in town call Keith and look for some where to stay u could stay at my place

[@avgjoeavglife]

Nice Video, i love when you sing the Boobie Song LOL.

[@williammonaghan3724]

Are you staying in Wales or travelling every day from home?

[@GLovesTrains]

Either or, this one was stayed in Shrewsbury

Surprised that you didn't kick the gates open to get your own back for all that copyright Cyber has done in the past lol

[@mthetrainspotter]

I wish you messaged me asking Ey Would You Like To Come With Me To Llanfairpwllgwyngyll (or Deganwy, Conwy) for Exploring The North Wales By Train? BE MY PLEASURE!

[@TheSugarDaddy1]

G another master piece you make me wanna go on holiday with all these beaches you need to get some bikini bottom on your head for the next beach lol

[@gillywild]

40 minute advert wtf!?

[@Andrewjg_89]

Yeah I have noticed it. Unless you got Adblock which only works on Android Phones and on the computer and laptops.

[@theoneandonlygraveyard]

Can't get used to you wearing glasses. Keep thinking you're wearing those fake nose glasses! Wales is just that country you can't keep away from - train or car Wales is great!

[@Olivers-trains]

I have seen two of my favourite Driver and conductors multiple times at my local station Denby Dale on the Penistone line. The driver let me in the cab of 158906 when there was a signal failure as the train came into the platform and I was filming. The conductor was also very friendly. I have seen them a few times.

[@Olivers-trains]

Have you noticed how all the speed signs are white on black on the Cambrian coast line and not many W boards

[@GLovesTrains]

Tbh I haven't haha
