It's Really Windy! - Episode 1, 22nd March (Boat to Ireland)

Travelling to all 198 railway stations in Ireland and Northern Ireland
Vicki and Geoff are taking All The Stations international! The duo will embark on a journey to visit all 198 railways stations in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
All The Stations - Ireland will explore the length and breadth of the Iarnród Éireann and Northern Ireland Railways networks. Along the way, Vicki and Geoff will meet the communities connected to the lines, interviewing local people and those who work on the railways, to find out about their experiences of travelling by train.
To The Book - Our book, The Railway Adventures, is published by September Publishing and was released in October 2018. It accompanies our 2017 All The Stations adventure, when we travelled to ever single railway station in Great Britain.

Praise to the editor for the "it's really windy" running gag.

[@SamSitar]

Vicki being blown around was fun.

[@PaulCampy]

That’s a meme all of itself!

[@mikejamesporter]

That's definitely gotta come back in a later episode... Or two!

Same.

Hey me too!

[@karlosbricks2413]

yeah, same here.

[@paintedpilgrim]

It won't take that long.....they said during the crowd funding it would only take 3 weeks.

[@domramsey]

Great to see you finally made it to the Isle of Wight! It’s bigger than I expected...

[@gilles111]

As we all know, there is no Isle of Wight. So I guess this is Isle of Man.

[@stevenjlovelace]

I'm hoping it's the Isle of Sodor.

[@frankw9619]

I was hoping for the Isle Of Lucy

[@ericdunn555]

Isle of Anotherpintplease.

[@ross9286]

Thought they were going to Craggy Island

[@richardmartin7780]

Geoff, Vicki, The abandoned station you saw on the way to Fishguard is Wolf's Castle halt. It was opened on 5th May 1924 and I have a picture of it still open in July 1958. If you come through Fishguard on your return and the two of you would like a tour of the castles of Pembrokeshire leave me a comment here and I will arrange it for you. We've some classics that Vicki would love! - Richard.

That's going to be on the outtakes video "IT'S REALLY WINDY...." Great start to your All the Stations Ireland adventure.

Instant classic .

Hooray for Eire!

Amazing! I laughed every time Vicki tried to say “IT’S REALLY WINDY!!!!” Congrats on a fabulous start!!

[@andrewdemetrius8090]

Lovely couple - wish you both all the very best

This aged badly 😅

[@ToilerOnTheSea]

Geoff " Do an Irish Jig" Vicki "NO!" but it was the look that accompanied it :-)

[@Roblilley999]

Great to see the Crew back on the Road (Rail/Boat/Ship/Gondola)

[@iaspex1289]

Can't wait for this!

[@Mike-tv9bx]

So ready for this

[@DarrenBates]

Iarnrod Eireann actually own the entire harbour :-)

[@oscyk]

Yes and technically the same people who own Fishguard Harbour own Rosslare Europort which means it's owned by the UK and Iarnród Éireann at the same time.

[@cliffordhurst2564]

Loving your "All the Stations" adventure. You seem confused as to the difference between a Boat (small) and a Ship (Big) . Just remember, you can take a boat (small) on a ship (big), but you can't take a ship (big) on a boat (small)

[@srossgower]

I am very happy about this!

[@KentRailPhotography]

Hearing that music just makes me so happy. Good to have it back! Great video guys! 😀

[@jamezg4088]

Really great video! To the trains!

[@ConsciousAtoms]

Yes yes yes! I was late to the party for the original stations series, I'm so happy to be here right from the start!

[@Timstravels01]

And so it begins...again. To the adventures! All of them.

[@ernestparker3648]

I am 68 I feel like a exited youth. This is gonna be brilliant. enjoy.

[@AllTheStations]

thank you Ernest, a lovely comment!

[@peterdavy6110]

In 1982 I got off a train at Clarbeston Road. I think I may have been the last person to do so before Geoff.

[@pauldevey8628]

I felt a shiver up my spine with this one. We are back! Thank you from Canada!

[@jlelliotton]

Paul With the videos coming out at 7pm UK time, I had to wait to watch until I got home from work in Toronto.

Delighted to be watching this series being Irish myself

[@CraigPaulWilson]

2 years since All The Stations - wow!

[@obel15k]

Yes, I had to double-check - can't believe it's been 2 years.

[@liamfoley9614]

11:11 and a lot of the older postboxes will have a royal cypher, they were just painted over after independence.

[@malcolm4672]

greetings from New Zealand, cant beleave that it is 2 years since All the stations, just missed you in Edinburgh, we were there the same day. Have been to Ireland twice, grandparents emigrated, very proud of my heritage, enjoy Ireland, when you are at Cliffs of Moher, give my Ma a thought.

[@tomslade3365]

Good to see this at last more train's and all The fish will be happy to eat any food wast BTW ! yum yum ! as regards throwing things over board

[@Theyluvkai7218]

Love you Geoff and Vicki

[@user-ky6vw5up9m]

The parallel Holyhead -Dublin route uses the 15-deck MV Ulysses which was the world’s largest car ferry when it was introduced. It might still be -not sure.

[@Rog5446]

Vic said it was a bit rough at one point, but clearly not when they were on deck, as there were no white caps on the sea.

[@sadiqmohamed681]

These videos are worth watching just for Vicki's antics! Ferries are fun. At 3 hours that one isn't too long. You should try the overnight from Harwich to Hook of Holland. I did it several times in the mid-90s with a truck load of gear going to the RAI exhibition centre in Amsterdam. We got to use the Truckers Lounge and had cabins. The boat leaves about 11:30 and gets into Hook of Holland in time for breakfast. I'm not a trucker, but at the time a friend whose company built TV & radio stations used to exhibit and since I would go work for him demonstrating the kit, I suggested instead of hiring a moving firm we should rent a 7 tonne truck with a tail lift and do it ourselves. We would have about £200K worth of electronics in the truck! Great fun pretending to be truckers!

[@HenrysAdventures]

The abandoned station at 2:57 was probably Wolf's Castle Halt!

[@jamesbutler6253]

Harwich to Gothenburg (before it was stopped in the late 90s) was a 24 hour crossing.

[@robinevans3440]

Luvin it already...Enjoy your time in Ireland Vicky and Geoff

[@robinevans3440]

Bit wind swept there Vicky

[@lewisacott9609]

Hi Geoff. For a long ferry take the boat from Oban to Barra. The CALMAC ferry takes over 5 and a half hours

[@tigga911]

It's baaaaaack!!! I love the Vicki windy shots running throughout

[@Sarge084]

The, now defunct, Olua Line between Sheerness and Vlissingen took 8/9 hours and was our prefferred route when travelling to German RAF Stations on detachment. We got a cabin and *some" sleep before the onward journey. The UK to Westfalia journey via Dover/Calais would have been too much without a break!

[@killianschafer765]

I'm so excited for this series. I can't wait for my Personal Q&A. Also i saw ye were in Midleton/Cobh/Cork today. I wish i could have bumped into ye.

[@scottishtrains9761]

I have been in the truckers lounge before and its ok for a rest from driving

[@user-ky6vw5up9m]

Regarding Duty -Free. The world’s first Duty -Free was at Shannon Airport.

[@johannbrummer6764]

excellent bloody video mate

[@lauppfrosch]

I am glad you are on the trains again 🙂 Go Vicki and Geoff, go 👍

[@dennisevans2677]

Wahoo, All The Stations again, and in Ireland. My favorite couple on the KZbin.

[@Jamesofur]

Oh that look when Geoff suggested Vicki do a Jig...

Can’t wait for all the stations Australia

I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am to have this back in my life!

[@oliverbrelsford5472]

12:42 WE'RE IN IRELAND!!!!!

[@markweir2988]

Great start video to your trip to Ireland which I love so much. Brings back bad memories that boat trip never ever done it without being sick. A new follower who is loving all your videos

[@ianmcclavin]

I've been out at Fishguard and Goodwick. There's a couple of decent pub B&B's there, I've stayed overnight there whilst exploring Pembrokshire.

[@TamDNB]

Trains obviously rule, but ferries are a close second as far as transport goes. Also the southern English struggle to say Ireland is adorable. "We're going to Island!!!!"

[@annagilda1]

I’ve already watched this series through once, but you’ve no idea what this means to me. I’m Irish living in Australia, I get awful homesick and I come back to watch this series when I’m feeling a bit down. I was home in Ireland last month and did the Heuston to Westport line, not sure when I’ll make it back again, so thank you so much for taking the time to put all of this together.

[@lauriecroad3186]

Tripped over episode 1 - thanks! Been waiting with bated breath...away you go!

[@AdamMcCarthy74]

Fair play to Vicki. Nailed the pronunciation! Hope you enjoyed Cork today. Perfect weather for it!

[@benh4509]

Great Video love the vids

[@kdean9537]

Fantastic!...so wonderful to see your smiling faces 😂 Big Tick...✔...take care...safe travels 💖

[@Stephen_Lafferty]

Having watched the 2017 'All The Stations' across five weeks from January 2019, I now get to watch each episode of this series as it is launched! I'm looking forward to more Ireland explorations - and castles!

[@KaliTragus]

The longest travel I've had on a ship was the ferry from north Sydney to Port aux Basques which took about seven hours... I might try to do the one to Argentia NL perhaps this summer... 16 hours!

[@ChuckCampbell]

Thanks guys!! I am watching this with my new ALL THE STATIONS “Tea” shirt on, only by accident! This is very special for those of us who are train nuts! I am in Vero Beach, Florida.

[@johnnyonezero2]

Welcome to Ireland. Well done Vicky on the pronunciation. Great to see Barry Kenny at last, I listen to him on the radio all the time, he's very sound

[@jimlangley840]

From across the big pond, Thank you !

[@EvanRoche]

I can't believe you are in Ireland and so close to my station its wexford 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 can't wait to see the series

[@Richard_is_cool]

You two are just brilliant. I could watch you all day.

[@NathanJ2124]

Excited to see you both back on the trains! And looking forward to being able to follow this series as it happens, since I didn't find your channel until after the UK trip was complete

[@WhiteTiger333]

Woohoo! I won't have to binge watch this journey. :D And, yaay, the tiny bit at the end - I always looked forward to it.

[@markK1PU]

Have a great adventure!

[@Borgify123]

Hey Geoff and Vicki! Welcome to Cork! PLEASE do the Cork greenway! It's a fantastic walkway along a former rail line, really scenic! Don't hesitate to contact me if ye want a tour!

[@donaloflynn]

I thought that was barely past the planning stage? The Waterford Greenway in my beloved Déise on the other hand? All done and with a stunning viaduct crossing! Looking forward to my native Cork joining the greenway club soon though :)

[@Borgify123]

@@donaloflynn It's completed as far as Passage so far Donal! Lovely signage and all! The Déise one is fab!

[@donaloflynn]

@@Borgify123 Ah that's brilliant! Fast workers in the rebel county :)

[@duncanbrown1864]

Good to see you back!

[@techauthor324]

All water vessels are boats, even submarine boats. The water going vessels called ships are actually ship-rigged boats. Took me a long time, some years ago, to find this info. I made that Fishguard to Rosslare crossing in 1981. Its supposed to be one of the most consistently rough sea crossings in the world, second only to crossing the Bay of Biscay.

[@Fs3i]

Really excited to see this happening again! Looking forward to it so much!

[@DJTrainBrain]

I'll bet that was ferry windy indeed...

[@paulsmith3316]

Great to have you back on line.......on a trip. It's a shame Ireland isn't bigger so it has more stations so my daily fix of train stuff could last for a lot more days. Fantastic work

[@kimburgess]

Yay, I"m so excited! I love to get up in the morning (Canada!) and watch your new adventures with my cup of tea!

[@georgechylla5528]

You both seem very happy, enjoy the experience-and may the wind always be at your back.

[@kiranbahra]

I don't know if you realised but the train you got is the one a day train that bypasses Carmarthen

All the windy stations.

Watching this before it appeared on my subscription page! Thank you notifications. I am looking forward to this.

Been waiting for this for a long while. Can't wait for the test.

Shame no railway on the Uists, Oban to Castlebay 5 hours - you'd love it.

[@thereviseguy820]

:) I can see in the credits for to the trains, you put Tina Onions(your mother) :) That's good. I liked your mother, when i visited her, last year in August.

[@thereviseguy820]

@tinaonions In Mill Hill School.

[@ninjagoggles]

In 1997, I (and college boyfriend) took the ferry from Rosslare, Ireland (after visiting family) to Roscoff, France, as it was the coldest June in Ireland since... 1934 or something. So we went to sunny & warm France! Later in the trip we took the ferry to Holyhead from Dublin & then made our way by bus to London & the sleeper to Glasgow & then up into the highlands & eventually (via ferry from Ullapool) to the Isle of Lewis! ... Man, I travel a lot. :-D In 8 days it's to the trains of London, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, & Poland! TO THE TRAINS! (and the cows cows cows)!!!

[@halcyondaystunes]

I know we've seen you both since 2017 on other videos but I found myself smiling from ear to ear when I started this video.....it was like seeing long lost friends after years apart. Wonderful :)

[@devanshkayal8184]

Geoff I am a fan of you

[@robinparkes9]

Your videos are such fun. I can't understand how anybody could dislike them. My local station is Mossley West so am looking forward to seeing it on a later programme.
