Exploring the North West by Train DAY 1

[@Leonard_Smith]

This is the start of the binge catch up of G Loves Trains...

[@howardbrown2951]

When I was a young teenager in the days of steam I used to go train spotting at Preston we used to hop on a train and ride up to Leyland, hang about and then go back to Preston all without a ticket. Those were the days!!!

[@barrowc]

Happy two-year anniversary of this video being uploaded! Right from this very first day, the whole "Exploring the North West by Train" series is fantastic (as are all of G's other videos too). Be warned though: if you sit down to watch just one video from this series, it's highly likely that you'll end up watching loads of them in a row

[@martsmiscmix]

Ain't that the truth! 😂

[@A_W-d9d]

@barrowic Same from me too

[@Thornaby37]

And when you finally get through the whole series, the chances are that you'll watch it again, and again...............

[@petedunsford2915]

Just watched this … yes I know … tardy to the party. Absolutely loved it!! So refreshing to see someone talk normally in a rail video! By that I mean … no frills or airs or graces …. This is the way I talk / get over it!! I love it. Anyone who uses the phrase ‘frig me what a filthy bugger of a train’ is going to win my heart! Also love the rawness of it … you’ve just gone with it. Your enthusiasm is infectious - as was your cold I’m sure! Love it, and sorry I’m late x

[@FurryGaru]

Same here, late but loving G already! Looking forward to watching everything else you’ve been doing. 🤩

[@siobhan28483]

So nice to see a fellow female rail enthusiast! You’ve just got yourself a new subscriber! 😊

Aye trains are the best! Thanks a lot! 😄

Haha some of the later vlogs are better 😂

[@Sim0nTrains]

For a first Rail Vlog, it was brilliant, very informative and entertaining. I honestly cannot wait for the next one.

[@GLovesTrains]

Cheers! So glad to hear, me excited too! 😀😂

[@KirbyONeilDJSpeed]

This is brilliant well done , Preston brings back memories for me traveling back and forth from Merseyside Kirkdale, to Kilwinning North Ayrshire Scotland, Via, Ormskirk , then Preston, Glasgow, Kilwinning, 4 hours tops if no delays, living in Kilwinning at the time 2014, now in Merseyside but i Love traveling on trains, with or without Delays..😎😎😍😍

[@GLovesTrains]

Haha thanks, enjoying my old videos I see 😀

[@ReubenAshwell]

The 319's went to Brighton when I lived there as a very young child and I remember them being alright haha.

[@iana6713]

So this is how the jaunt around the north-west started. Really enjoyed this, and the fact that you pretty much say it as you see it!

I can't stop singing knickers on your head 😁 brilliant videos, funny and very entertaining x

[@Daysleeper1405]

Yep, this vlog series is gonna get watched to the hilt. "bye bye filthy bugger" might just be a slogan in the making for one particular train operater. Informative and bursting with enthusiasm.... and a healthy disade of double entendres to boot! Great stuff!

[@amberpeet1922]

Ahh! Just discovered your channel and you're amazing! I'm based in the North West too and love trains and visiting all the platforms. Keep up the content, I'd love to do what you do 💕

North Wales series got recommended and loved them! May as well watch from the start now I'm subbed

[@andikloppelberlin5090]

I like this series above all the accompanying music.

Haha, I just had to come and watch your first vlog! It's so much better than my first one, lol!

You're such a cool girl! Love your vids, keep them coming! Glad you enjoyed yourself

[@GLovesTrains]

Thankyou! I do love making ‘um 😁

[@TravelWalesWithPaul]

Love your KZbin videos. They're very entertaining, informative and enjoyable to watch. Can't wait to watch your next video.

[@dannyholt105]

Oh my! I told you I was going to follow this series! I watched the first and last installments now, 44 more episodes to go. I might be a while. We are not fond of round-a-bouts over here either. Most guys have big four-wheel drive trucks with big tires and huge crash bumpers on the front. At least they feel a bit safer. Stay healthy over there! Cheers, Danny 😃🚄🚉

[@jazmynesilva2962]

Thanks for the video, you are such a funny person I don’t even think you try to be. Love the way you make yourself laugh whilst entertaining yourself. Myself and I’m sure many others are laughing too. Keep the content coming you are getting me through my lunch breaks only found your page a few days ago 👍

[@crownjulesgaming542]

Great vlog for a first!! Btw the blowey whistle dudes (dispatchers) are only usually at busy stations like Preston

Thankyou!! Haha yeah that’s very true! (Me being ditsy that 😂)

An old mucker/colleague of mine from Stratford Depot was a loco fireman at Preston Shed before he put in for a driver promotion transfer and moved to 'that London'. I wouldn't say he's got big ears, but some of the blokes nicknamed him, Wingnut.

Even the subtitles are fun. Spot "Bookshop Halfway Station" and "Vineyard on a boat in Charlie".

[@SamsVlogstrainsmore]

Transpenine express serve to the station too Quite a few services a day too Liverpool, Preston & Glasgow started in a December 2019

[@GLovesTrains]

Ah did it now?! Yeah I keep seeing them pull in in the mornings now haha 😂

[@SamsVlogstrainsmore]

GLovesTrains yes they do weird how they reinstated them if there was overcrowding but they said they were getting transpenine express direct to Scotland from Liverpool one goes via Leeds and one via Preston I suppose that was the only possible route, haven't yet seen one at Wigan because when I was there the other day they were all cancelled due to storm Ciara lol.

[@GLovesTrains]

Yeah the overcrowding was baaaad but I don’t think they call later in the day, must enquire about this 😂 and damnn Ciara caused chaos

[@SamsVlogstrainsmore]

GLovesTrains they do there's 1 at Quarter two 5 from Liverpool to Glasgow and to Liverpool 3pm, it did indeed let's see what storm Dennis had to offer.

[@GLovesTrains]

Whaaaa well that is confuzzling then! 😂

we can be thankful the station was not demolished in the 60's when they electrified the west coast main line. Birmingham New Street and Euston were not so lucky.

[@joc6516]

Loving your videos and it's great to see the North West from your perspective. I have two questions though. 1) I'm trying to pick your accent. I'm not from the UK, so not very good with local accents yet, but trying to learn them so I can identify them more. Can I ask what your accent is? 2) This is a bit of a weird one, but I'm an information architect which is why I love to think about these questions... I'm interested to know what area you refer to as the North West. Unlike states or counties, there is no single definition. (this could also be a quiz question if you ever do those things). By North West, do you mean... a) The government's version of the NW (which includes Cumbria all the way up to the Scottish border) - but hardly anyone uses this b) The BBC's definition of the NW (which excludes Cumbria, but instead adds the Isle of Mann) c) ITV's definition of the NW (also known as Granada) (which still includes the Isle of Mann, but only the bottom bit of Cumbria and a small bit of Northern Wales) d) a corporate version of the NW - crazy as it sounds, many companies and government organisations have their own borders which are different to the above (from Ticketmaster to the Crown Prosecution Service) Yeah... it's a weird question, but does raise an eyebrow...
