Ghost Train: Lowestoft to Great Yarmouth (Lost Railways)

[@trevorporter9205]

Very nicely done, what a rural country we were.

[@rogerallum5633]

Brilliant made journey as a child

[@HyperBiker]

That was superb. Amazing how much of the route is unrecognisable today. The Breydon Bridge is what amazes me. My Mother used to travel this route when she was young but she tells me she doesn't remember that bridge at all. Those Victorians were amazing with their engineering.

A stunning presentation of the Yarmouth line. Superb visuals and the most original train channel on the web. Outstanding.

[@paulbushby1533]

Excellent video and animation, Thanks. We would holiday in Hopton when I was young and regularly took the train to either Lowestoft or Great Yarmouth. so sad that this line no longer exists.

[@brucewoolner4271]

Wow really nicely put together. Amazingly enough one of my first vivid memories was that line I took as a small boy with the family in 1970 before it closed. Dad wanted to take it one last time i was told. I have a picture of me on that train.

[@bigal3940]

Brilliant editing and effects. I love it. Thanks for sharing... but I now need you to do all of the old railways!!

[@ghosttrainlostrailways]

I am slowly recreating all the old lines! Subscribe and you see plenty more videos soon! 🚂

[@flashtheoriginal]

Absolutely SUPERB

[@rochellehewston9367]

These are truly special, thank you for all the time you put in to completing them

[@ghosttrainlostrailways]

Thanks Rochelle! Feel free to share my videos with anyone you think might find them interesting!

[@paulthurston2883]

As a Lowestoft boy born and raised, this was so nice to see. You have done a great job. Thank you.

[@simonduane555]

Me too, Paul. I can just about remember steam engines running along the line which ran past the end of our garden. Even after they'd removed the track I thought, that'd make a great footpath/cycle route. But within a few months the idiots had sold off a plot and a house went up, making that impossible.

[@Franklyidontgiveadamn]

Superb work

[@ianshort3994]

Excellent............thanks for putting that together.

[@Thurne456]

Brilliant, thank you

[@jennymatrix7993]

Really good job.

[@garyh1572]

Love the reference points , and the photographers name .

[@DD-tc8nd]

Very well done. You should ask Russell Walker if you could use his Hopton On Sea photos as they show the embankment which was flattened for housing. Also, the Gorleston station wasn't on the roundabout. It was half way up the current embankment, just the other side of the bridge you can see in the modern picture. They actually dug down to a lower level to build the road.

We have lost so many great lines in this country. Well done on this very interesting idea of following lost railways 👍

[@ghosttrainlostrailways]

So many lost lines! Got my work cut out for me! 🚂

[@Knappist]

@@ghosttrainlostrailways Keep up the good work 👍

[@mauriceowen2446]

Well done great trip.

[@Norfolkonsea]

Fantastic, brought back a few memories from my early childhood. Thanks. 👍

[@dutchy777]

brilliantly done

[@glenbryant2360]

Brilliant video could you do the old waveney line from beccles in suffolk please

[@coxyscomments7494]

Brilliant Love it!

[@tomcarr1358]

Marvellous use of your sources. I shall now look for others by you and hope to find the more 'obliterated' routes in East Suffolk and Norfolk particularly the M&GN to Melton . C from Gt .Yarmouth.

[@ghosttrainlostrailways]

Thanks! As it happens I walked/ cycled/ drove/ hobbled the Melton to Yarmouth line during lockdown! Here is the finished project kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXzXXp19eJhjgbM

[@tomcarr1358]

Yes I found it soon after my first viewing of the day. As a chartered surveyor -no longer practising -- I particularly enjoy your map work.. I hope that you get an opportunity to see the collection of pictures collated by Dennis Greeno and Richard Adderson and just published by the Midland and Gt Northern Joint Rly Socy. @@ghosttrainlostrailways

Brilliant. So clever. Thank you.

[@muz1406]

Travelled on this line from London to Lowestoft then to Hopton holiday camp in the sixties. While staying in Hopton went to Yarmouth South Town, first time it was double tracked, then singled and now shamefully bulldozed.

[@8888Dino8888]

Thank you well done. I’ve always been interested how the train came over the bridge at Northgate st down to street level has anyone got any photos please tks

[@BikepackingExplorer]

Wow, love this

[@jessej.m.e8430]

This was amazing to watch 🤙🏼🖤

[@mabbrey]

great vid

[@rochellehewston9367]

Thank you

[@kevingibbs9720]

Missed yarmouth southtown station.

[@8888Dino8888]

I never knew of Gorleston north station

[@telemachus53]

The present station at Yarmouth is a bit far from the beach - to which it's a 25 minute walk. Pity the station at Yarmouth Beach is gone.

[@coxyscomments7494]

Great Any chance of Liverpool Street to Great Yarmouth or Great Yarmouth to Beccles?

[@psmuk19]

great video but the central map got in the way and it would have been better with more road/building references on the new map on the right.

[@toffeeblue2201]

A very shortsighted decision to close this line. Just imagine how useful this would be today.

[@pifinch]

really good, another closure too many.

[@RickSimulations]

I walked the route in 2019 it's nice but not alot left since it closure in 1960s
