I have visited every station on the Midland Main Line in time for Christmas!

[@JenOnTheMove]

No, my trip back up north from Euston was not simple! Ended up on a train to Liverpool because it was in the period of WCML description where the best tactic for getting home was "get on the first train remotely North and work out the details when you get there"

[@CJonestheSteam72]

I know that feeling, closer to home is better than 200miles away. Merry Christmas to you and the glamourous assistant🥰

[@myonlydemandisbacktowork8759]

That's why I would rather take the coach if time is allowed (which completely contradicts the aim here), at least you get what you paid for

[@raphaelnikolaus0486]

Calling the Thameslink livery a livery is already quite an overstatement, tbh.

[@thisis_mudchute]

the nhs one is cool though

[@telhudson863]

Many KZbinrs can walk out of a station and exclaim, "Canal!" or "Water!" But only Jen can stand on a platform and call, "Train!" That's why we love you. Don't change.

[@MichaelSebastianTodd]

brilliant vlog

[@stevelknievel4183]

Don't you just love it when your editor critiques your B-roll footage?

[@Look_Dad_Old_Tunes]

I enjoyed the "I Can't Believe It's Not Last Christmas" music on this one. Merry Christmas!

[@msg5507]

1:44 i love how Kirsty the editor is now routinely sledging Jen in the captions 😅 happy Christmas to you both

[@neilwilkins7686]

Thank you Jen for sharing all you're journey's this year, here's to 2025 🎉

[@stevelang3171]

yay. love your stuff especially looking at the stuff around all the stations.

[@johnhoward2402]

Merry Christmas Jen, and thanks for a great year of entertaining vids. Bless you!

[@Thornaby37]

Excellent series, well done on visiting every station on the Midland Main Line 👍 Wishing you a very Merry Christmas

[@johncamp2567]

I can’t help but take note of all your editing. Your production quality has become quite professional!!! Best of luck in the New Year!! 🥂🍾🥂

[@jappedut9009]

Thank you for all your wonderful videos and a very merry Christmas to you 😍

[@lordmuntague]

Jen, in recognition of some lovely content, I've chosen your comments thread to be the recipient of this year's You Tube UK Transport Creators joke. Ahem... In this year's awards, Geoff Marshall has been decorated by his fans. They said it was cheaper than buying a tree... 😁 Love from Liverpool!

[@andywillis2650]

Merry Christmas Jen, hope you had a good one ! Thanks for a great year of video's. Happy New year and look forward to more in 2025. Look after yourself & take care please :)

[@technoandrew]

Merry Christmas Jen! Really enjoyed the MML series.

[@Bluemorpho_90]

Merry Jemmas!

[@paulgalleyblackpool]

I really enjoyed this and learnt alot. Two bits stood out: Brent Cross and connecting the dots of peoples needs with the Park and Station, looks really well thought out. The second was the community entrance to Cricklewood. Getting the community involved in being part of railway stations in the same way they are in many Parks has to be a direction we go to give our stations as much personality as we can. Merry Christmas Jen :)

[@TransportGeekery]

Merry Christmas Jen! Cricklewood used to be my local station and then I moved near Kentish Town so this video represents a significant part of my life.

[@StuBobsGhost]

Merry Christmas Jen. Cheers for all the videos this year.

[@lakelady57]

Merry Christmas Jen and hope you have a good time with friends and family. Been fun travelling along in the rain and wind and sunshine. Looking forward to seeing where you take us next year. 🎄🎄🎉🎉🎅🏻🎅🏻🍾🍾

[@RainhamRailEnthusiast]

Was also there for the BCW opening, amazing to see that the developments have progressed, should be a very busy station in 2-3 years. I see what you mean about Kentish Town, a lovely brick cutting and I always love a curved station.

[@simondavey7787]

Thanks for an awesome series and great content. I appreciate all that you do. Have a merry and blessed Christmas.

[@ChrisDuffy_82]

Loved the series!

[@baseballfan99]

Nothing is simple at the moment with our railways especially with Northern. Loved this series as though I have travelled on the line I have only been to several of the stations. Looking forward to when you do all the stations on the WCML. Happy Christmas.

[@ceanothus_bluemoon]

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you, and everyone watching! New to your channel this year and very much enjoying it.

[@TravelSoGood]

I knew these stations so well. The entrance to Cricklewood has improved so much since I last used it. It actually looks quite inviting now rather than the dodgy look it used to have! And that old entrance to West Hampstead wasn't too bad because it never used to have ticket barriers. I believe they were added when the new entrance was built.

[@thegwprojectyoutubemusicch3963]

Hi Jen, I really look forward to your videos. They’re always fascinating, enlightening, entertaining and honest, and brilliantly put together. Thank you so much for making them for us all to enjoy. I unfortunately struggle with severe anxiety and haven’t been able to leave the house in a very long time. Watching your videos really helps me feel like I’m outside again. I love trains and seeing different stations and I love a train journey, just looking out of the window. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and I greatly look forward to seeing more of your future adventures 🚆🎅🎄😊.

[@airfoxtrot2006]

Merry Christmas Jen and also to all your other patreons.

Merry Christmas Andy! Thanks for supporting

[@jaybee1921]

Hi Jen, really enjoyed this video, particularly liked the backing music. Re' St Pancras, I don't know if you had time to walk around the station but you may have found the amazing Dr K playing Boogie- Woogie on the public piano. He rocks up there quite regularly... Hope you arrived home safely. Now going to eatch your Christmas video... Cheers, Jon B.

There's also a Loughborough University in London.

Merry Xmas 🎄🎄 new year 🎊

[@fionaaviani-bartram]

thanks for a lovely series jen, have a good christmas!

[@QALibrary]

Jen, it is not silly to have the University of Sheffield in London... Becuse to have my Univerity of Wales Aberwithyth degree the only accredited body to oversee and marking/course planning the uplift from the old type of Polytechnics - it was in fact it was called/classified as a library school at the time - was the London School of Economics that was the only body that came forth to oversee and do the work - hence why I have a Econ in my degree name. So it is not that strange :P Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and thank you for all the videos.

[@simonc858]

Thanks for all your videos this year. Merry Christmas x

I like how on the day this is uploaded, Kentish Town Tube reopened!

Merry Christmas Jen and to everybody in this community 🥳

[@frazzles4427]

What a way to start the video, a fire alarm test 🤣

[@QALibrary]

2:50 looks like they using the Olympic Park model for this development with more house/homes/flats with less park

[@Sim0nTrains]

I know you mentioned about Sheffield at Brent Cross West but at 8:10 Why is the Angel of the North near West Hamstead Thameslink Station lol But it has been a epic series Jen and funny enough I was 'over the road' on that day on the ECML. Great video and looking forward to the Christmas Day video, Merry Christmas Jen.

[@JenOnTheMove]

Happy Christmas Simon!

[@marthaanderson2656]

Horns dont determine the cow ( or bull), the underpinnings do. I liked the concept of Brent Cross when it was shown at the opening. Still love that the station can actually act as a community space with areas that would support a local business and social contact places for volunteers and info centers.

[@Anonymoususer_8823]

Brent Cross West is quite a nice station. At one point it was going to be called Brent Cross Thameslink or Brent Cross Parkway. Still Merry Christmas.

[@ReubenAshwell]

Brilliant video Jen, the Thameslink livery we have today really is boring, I prefer the old one from the original Thameslink franchise to be honest. The only problem with Kentish Town I have is that the midland main line disruption seems to originate from there a number of times lol.

[@walterfillingham]

The ScotRail livery looks very dull and boring, very dark dirty blue, with ScotRail stickers peeling and faded in the sunshine. They beginning to look like old British Rail trains - well the class 158’s and 170’s seen in and around Inverness look rather grim these days, even the insides look grubby with what looks like diesel soot all over the plastic ceilings 😂

[@smallsleepyrascalcat]

I have a feeling that City-Girl Jen has never seen a bull before. And cows have horns too, if you don't keep the from growing. Lovely series though and a hell of a journey.

[@maedero05]

End point London St Pancras overstatement, you end just before the canopy ? Leicester to Birmingham or NotinghamBirmingham Midland stations ? That's so cold except snow, winter isn't what it used to be ! Thameslink woulld be so much nicer with a nice metropolitan red livery ?

[@walterfillingham]

Another fantastic year, just out of curiosity, do you know how many stations you have visited this year? Many thanks for all your videos this year, hope you have some enjoyable down time to enjoy during the festive period 😊

[@cannadineboxill-harris2983]

I needed to know why they couldn’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for most of the mainline Trains so that they could extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock which will include the class 507, class 508, class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign all of them into an overhead wire line trains and also make most of them into Five carriages per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Gardner 6LXC, Leyland 510, Cummins M11, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner LG1200 and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7 Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 10 Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 507, class 508, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into 11 carriages per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers? A Stock Train and 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it even much more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 carriages per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 carriages per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Gardner 6LXC, Scania N112, Cummins M11, Leyland 510, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner LG1200 and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 87 Octagon and Every 48 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 147MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 147MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those 18 Tonne Boxes of Coal for all of those 147MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!!!! So please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!!!! And PLEASE do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.

[@seeitsayitdoggo]

Merry Xmas Jen! See you in 2025!!!

[@martinridgway7455]

Brent Cross West and Cricklewood are meant to be the termini of the new West London Overground line - maybe on those underused lines by the 4 that currently have trains - although I've seen goods/freight use the lines at times.

[@tonywilkins6090]

The lines that you are referring to by platform 4 at Brent Cross are pretty much are in use for freight line. They highly unlikely wont be used for an overground line as freight train uses it to get from Gospel oak to rejoin the WCML near Willdesen junction. It has also been in used by passenger trains when the fastlines/slow lines are blocked due to overhead line issues etc, which as a passenger I got to experience once. Though it was a bit slow as the line speed was 20mph. Either way I cant see those lines be used as overground line, as it would mean making a new line for the frieght trains as they would cause extra delays on the mainline if they have to take the mainline to get to the wcml.

[@thisis_mudchute]

9:52 this is all a guess, but im fairly sure emr trains could go that way, as, on BCZ opening day, thameslink used upper level EMR platforms at STP and then called at kentish town. idk

[@tonywilkins6090]

EMR trains cant get to st pancras higher level from Kentish town platfrom 1 or 2, without a reversal into platform 3, and thats assuming EMR trains are cleared to go past platform 1/2 into the lower levels of st pancras. Platfrom 3 and 4 at Kentish town is only used by EMR for the empty stock movements, and Thameslinks uses these platforms if they have to go to the higher levels, when lower level is closed.

[@finnyusIRL]

Kentish Town, a town a bit like Kent

[@Psevdonim123]

Jen, you got to think forward. Cancel Thameslink before it cancels it's trains 🤣 (it's going to be nationalized soon anyway lol)

[@brianbell4937]

Shame you never noticed the local history panels atvCricklewood, along the ramp up to Platform 1 and in the waiting shelter on that platform. In my opinion they are very good. There is also a long mural along the back wall of platform 1.

[@Andrewjg_89]

Since Brent Cross West station was built to serve Brent Cross shopping centre and the whole area of Brent Cross in North London. There are plans for a new London Overground West London Orbital line that would go from Hendon/Cricklewood to Brentford via the freight only Dudding Hill Line. Plus with a new railway station to be built at Wixams south of Bedford.

[@GodAtum]

did anyone give you problems this time?

[@billmilligan1705]

So why is Brent Cross?

[@thegrimeater]

Needs a West

[@RichardWatt]

Brent didn't get what they wanted for Christmas.

[@michaelaFlangee]

well done on the mission to visit every station on the midland main line, | almost unsubscribed during this one due to the Cold Play lyrics, not the singing I just detest Coldplay with every fiber of my being. any way thanks for the content i think I have watched 99 percent of your videos this year.

is thameslink dodgy in your opinion my opinion is no
