Yay, brilliant you are back on the trains 😊 So glad you enjoyed Cressington , it’s a wonderful Station, hoping to get back there soon, Sefton Park is nearby, well worth a trip in itself. Looking forward to your take on the Wirral Line, keep up the great work. 🚂😊🙏❤️

[@GLovesTrains]

Thankyou Andrew! You did mention Cressington after I'd planned this... suprise! 😂

[@Sim0nTrains]

Lovely to see Exploring the North West by Train series again and it was ind.... nearly said that word lol! it was lovely to meet you again at Fazakerley. (which wasn't planned by the way) And did say as soon as you get off at Kirkdale, you would see 507006 straight away.... well possibly not a first lol

[@GLovesTrains]

Why thankyou CyberTrades, nearly had another Carol born then 😂

Great to see you back on the trains G 😄 I can also confirm that there was no sand at Sandhills when I went there last August 😂. I’ll be heading back down to Manchester this Thursday and will get my first journey on a TPE Nova 2 😎 will also be back at Wigan North Western too as I’ll be changing trains there on my way back up north 😊

[@andycampsall3832]

Hey G. This was a special vlog for me because I used to live in bootle when I was a kid. I’d walk to kirkdale station every morning and get a train to old roan station then a bus to Maghull. I’ve not seen kirkdale station since about 1992 I reckon so it was nice to see it again. Love your crazy energy in the videos G if you’re ever passing by gatley station and shout squidgy b**bies loud enough I might actually hear you 🤣

[@MidlandRailEnthusiast]

Yet another awesome Vlog GLovesTrains and even the music worked really well with your vlog good to see cyber in your vlog and nice to see a grad 2 listed railway station building not many of them left amazing how many stations you did manage to visit 10 I believe I remember traveling on the Mersey rail network donkeys years ago I went in a very long tunnel on the Wirral line I was in darkness for ages keep up the good work and I look forward to watching your next adventure stay safe

It's been a long time since i commented on one of thess but here goes...lol. Another great vlog G! It's so nice to see ya back on the trains, even if it is the Merseyrail Network. Loved the stations, great moments in there too and i loved how tou found TS Tico's trolley. He must have sent it there for ya to find, lol. 🤣Can't wait for another one.

[@GLovesTrains]

Yeah fancy him leaving his trolley behind a shelter 😂 dunno how he got it there! Lol, thanks a lot James!

[@BeakersAreCool]

It's great to see you exploring the North West again G, This vlog brings back some great memories for me, My grandmother used to live in a block of maisonettes near Sandhills station from where you could see the railway and the trains passing by, I was aged about 5 or 6 and spent many a happy hour watching the trains go by, My first ever job was also nearby and every day I would travel from Central Station to Sandhills (It was not the funky station it is now, we are talking mid/late 1980's here), The underground sections of the Merseyrail network have always fascinated me and the sound and rush of air as the trains approach are something to appreciate, especially on a hot day. Funny and entertaining, loved the edit with the seats and your hand, very clever. That pizza box in the bin could have been made by myself, great view from outside Aigburth station, looking forward to the next one, stay safe.

[@GLovesTrains]

Yeah it can get very stuffy down in that tunnel! I lit just wondered if you created pizza boxes... but now I'm thinking you meant you ate the pizza 😂 thanks!

[@MichaelSebastianTodd]

yes g loves trains its great to see you back out on the trains again and with perfect weather too i love the shots of the river mersey and st michaels station looks lovely and handy having a maccers outside rice lane for me to get a mcflurry or hot chocolate and a pub outside hunts cross for me to have steak and chips keep up the awesome work this was briliant to watch

No words can describe how good this!! Ha ha, I'm dying at parts!! All I can say is wow!! Absolutely terrific! Another tremendous video! Cracking shots from the North West, it is a great place! The humor is excellent! This was extremely great!! These journeys are great! The Merseyrail trains are great! Excellent in every shape or form! You were very loud today shouting SB wow, can't hear after that, thanks! Ha ha! The depot is definitely a great place, those new trains hopefully should be out soon! What a brilliant video! Great work from you! Job well done and top class as well! I do love living in the NW, there are some great places around! When you go through a long tunnel, it definitely is strange, I know this because of the long ones near Buxton! This was fantastic, loved every single second! Where is it in this video?!... you must do more of that 'Wots in the bin' it's great, cracks me up everytime you do it! Dont think I've been to those stations in the NW. Really enjoyed, thanks for sharing! Keep up the fabulous work! Take care, stay safe and well, keep up the fabulous, inspiring and enjoyable videos we all appreciate your time and effort into them! Have a great day and all the best!

[@fulcrumspigot455]

Hi G! Don't be afraid of those tunnels mate! I used to spend loads of time on Merseyrail when I was a kid (1982 mostly, I was 14 or 15!). They still had the 1938 era trains running then. The 507s had only just started there but I think they were second hand from the Southern Region of British Rail. Lols & luvs from Chris@Ulv. Mwah.

[@fulcrumspigot455]

As an aside, my Grandad was a guard on the Liverpool Overhead Railway. That was also electrically powered but sadly long gone.

[@GLovesTrains]

You can still see some tracks from the overhead railway 😀

[@fulcrumspigot455]

Yes, quite a few of the arches it used are still there. My late Grandad left this world in 1974 but we share the same birth date & latterly I became a railwayman. The most unfortunate thing for me was that by the time I became aware of things as a little kid, he was in a wheelchair & barely able to communicate due to Parkinsons. I'll bugger off now.

[@jacobporrett]

Whilst I've enjoyed your epic walks to some fantastic places in the Wigan and surrounding areas during lockdown its good to see you back where you belong, Exploring the North West by Train. No matter whether you are exploring by foot, train or tram you manage to entertain me and make me laugh with your humour, randomness and those slightly naughty innuendoes which probably go straight over some peoples' heads. 😂

[@marktobin9625]

Cracking view indeed at 11:38, G. The hills in the far distance look like the Clwydian range in North Wales, with the Wirral peninsula lying in between. I think that is Moel Famau behind the lamp post and the steep sided hill in the middle of your shot is probably Moel Arthur. Great places to go walking if you ever go over there, but no TfW stations near by I'm afraid... You struck lucky to get such a clear day, and yet another great vlog :) As you say - always sunny on Merseyside!

The British rail class 507/508s look very much similar to the British rail class 313/314/315/317/455. With 313 and the 455 being third rail capable EMU's on the old southern region of British rail. I have been on a British rail class 455/7 which have a old 507 or 508 trailer place into the unit to make four coaches long and this made the mersey rail units three coaches. I have been on a British rail class 455/7 from Wokingham to Waterloo (London Waterloo). Wokingham is on the Windsor lines and on the north downs line and 32 miles from Waterloo (London Waterloo).

I am terrible at remembering names so if you do remember me quite frankly I’m impressed. Also at 1:08 what were you pointing at? Or was it a joke that I’m too naive to get haha XD One more thing, at 9:55 I think that is an attachment point for a survey pole, which can be used to make precise measurements to determine if the platform is sinking, or if any geographical changes have occurred, they are also used to measure distances for planning renovations.
