hi, nice to see you 🙂

[@ChrisInTheNorth]

Dear Geoff, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for your recent video about the least used station in Lincolnshire. Your dedication to exploring and sharing such unique and lesser-known aspects of our region is truly commendable. Your video not only showcased the station itself but also shed light on its history and significance. It's evident that you put a lot of effort into your content, and your passion for exploring the hidden gems of Lincolnshire shines through in every frame. I found your video both informative and captivating. It's inspiring to see content creators like you who are committed to promoting local history and culture. Your video not only educated me about this little-known station but also sparked my curiosity to learn more about our beautiful county. I look forward to more of your videos, and I hope you continue to uncover and share fascinating stories about Lincolnshire. Your work is not only entertaining but also contributes to a deeper appreciation of our region's rich heritage. Once again, thank you, Geoff, for your dedication and for shining a spotlight on the least used station in Lincolnshire. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Warm regards, Chris

[@geofftech2]

Dear Chris, As you can see, I am very pleased with your kind comment and I am aware of the amount of time and effort that it must have taken you to write it. As you can see, I am happy to also kindly respond to acknowledge it, and furthermore should additional add that any comments on future videos that you may decide to leave will also be appreciated. As you can see, no detail has been left out of this - my reply to you here and now - and I wish you a pleasant day and excellent KZbin viewing experience on all channels that you watch. With kind thanks, as always. Geoff.

[@highpath4776]

@@ds_e5202 Is it in the description or link to ?

[@anniesoernym]

​@@highpath4776not really a great script, especially for a youtube video. Reading along via the transcript function, the script feels like something a local history group might put in a book about the town - positive, generally correct whilst not too bothered with particularities, and a bit waffle-y. Even a video by someone less generally energetic than Geoff would make it hard for the audience to stay engaged if this script was used.

[@hrishiv]

It’s because GPT doesn’t have access to the latest internet data, so those figures aren’t included

[@geofftech2]

The most obvious thing the AI missed is that it didn’t tell me to do passenger figures! So here they are: Just 68 passengers in the whole year for 2021/22, and even lower … just 10 (Ten!) passengers in 2020/21.

It was very short on actual numbers, a handful of car park spaces etc. just what a school essay would say when the author just can’t be bothered to check. Interesting effort but you win hands down.

[@patricescattolin43]

WRT the car park, I wouldn't be surprised that the number of spaces isn't given on a public page on the Internet hence no way for ChatGPT to know, whereas Geoff, being on site, can just count them.

Interesting to see my Dad’s family’s town His Dad built the garage that’s at the top of Queen St, now a furniture shop. My great grandfather ran the forge on the same site from about 1900 until the early 20s It’s a lovely market town , with the rare thing in Lincolnshire - a steep hill.

[@antonycharnock2993]

Have they fixed the windmill yet? I visited a few years ago after the bakery was featured on the Hairy Bikers.

[@frmattdrummond6535]

There used to be a flat crossing at Retford before it was replaced with the current alignment of a High/ Low Level station. The former is reached by traversing the old station's Coal Drops. I remember Retford Station as a child as we used to change there when visiting my Geandparents in Worksop. It had an open coal fire in the Up Platform Waiting Room. The station is more famous for being visited by Bill Bryson when writing 'Notes from a Small Island". He thought it was a major town when he viewed the railmap ... it's not.

[@robertwilloughby8050]

He did mention that it seemed to be the only town to capture a Russian cannon from the Crimean war single handed....😅

[@colinwalker9583]

Just back from Kirton and parked by the Church where you did the piece to camera. Nice video yet again, definitely need more trains in this part of England. Some decent towns such as Louth sadly lost the railway here years ago.

[@KiranEvans]

At 07:58 I was really hoping the AI was going to say "From down here, you can really appreciate the ticket machine" just for comedic effect

[@andrewpotato6002]

Geoff goes on holiday and explores the abandoned railways between South Korea and North Korea. ChatGPT produces a fun script

[@rockerjim8045]

and steps on a Landmine.

[@SnabbKassa]

It produces anodyne copy that feels like it was written by a civil servant who wants nobody to read it, and confidently asserts complete fictions at random. This concept worked as a comparison because the result is not just misleading, but 75% less entertaining than a video full of Geoff's personality. So we can now fully appreciate the value of Geoff as a producer.

[@highpath4776]

That is an incredibly large name sign for the station on the road entrance, we have seen smaller at other better/less used stations.

[@morriganjules]

Awww Retford was my home station. Yep them low level platforms are a hell of a sprint if you're late. Never went through Gainsborough Central as a kid because nothing ran through there! So cool to see more trains through it now. And nothing will replace the real Geoff xD

[@TheDaveWoods]

It was more of an essay (GCSE level) than a script. You could definitely take bits out and Geoffarise it. The reason, and I agree Geoff, it was souless was you were reading the essay and not having a conversation with your viewer. Definitely shunt AI into the sidings and wait for Mr Beaching to give it the chop 😎

[@antonycharnock2993]

That's what it sounds like. Something a primary school kid would write as a project. And. And. And. AI doesn't seem to understand sentence construction so it flows coherently.

[@farmersteve129]

I've read far better GCSE level essays, this is more in the 11-13 range & reads more as a series of disjointed and repetitive statements which may or may not be correct.

[@Martyn2021]

Welcome Geoff GPT, but in all seriousness is quite scary how just a few simple questions can create a passable video script but if you listen very carefully certain, things don't sound completely Marshall like.

[@EtoileLion]

I have to ask, how many shots did you have to throw out because you couldnt get through the script without laughing outright?

[@Thoomas2001]

All things considered, it's still an impressive script and AI is very fun to play around with. I imagine that it will get better and less soulless as it learns more things (I myself have had it generate some genuinely funny and surprising things), but I do hope that doesn't result in loss of jobs for people of course.

[@JamesWickham25]

I'm from Kirton - my parents still live there. I'd love to travel home by train a bit more but the service is so terrible I never bother. Managed it once... The hour long change at the time at Retford put me off doing it again! Nice to see the place on your video.

[@thomasburke2683]

New least used station in Lincolnshire! When you exhaust all of those, you can start a new series: least used new station! Did your AI research inform you of the giant satellite dish/ radar/ communications dish in the town. No doubt it has more traffic than the railway station. The station building is in beautiful condition; i hope some family live in it. The lack of vandalism is also a credit to the young people of the town, and the parents who raised them well.

Very amusing, and also really cool to see you in my home town of Retford! I haven't been back to that station in a while so I've only seen the shuttered shelters on platform 3/4 once and never seen the new walkway between the two sections. Hopefully it'll save on having to explain to people changing that no, really, I know it looks like you've walked into wilderness, you just have to keep going a bit more to get to the other platforms.

Hey chatGPT, has Geoff Marshall ever done a youtube video about Kirton Lindsey? As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Geoff Marshall, a well-known railway enthusiast and presenter on KZbin, had not produced a video specifically about Kirton Lindsey railway station. However, it's worth noting that content creators like Geoff Marshall often explore a wide range of railway-related topics, stations, and lines in their videos, so it's possible that he may have covered Kirton Lindsey or similar subjects in subsequent videos. To find out if Geoff Marshall has created content related to Kirton Lindsey or any other specific topic, I recommend checking his KZbin channel directly or using KZbin's search feature to look for relevant videos. Keep in mind that content creators frequently update their channels with new videos, so it's possible that there may be more recent content available.

“Soulless” is a good description of the AI script. I worked in the film and video industry for 30 years (what we used to call”industrial films,” and this sounds like one of those scripts written mostly by corporate public relations with input from the legal department. It’s organized, grammatical, and all the facts are correct, but . . . yes, it has no soul. Maybe AI will get better at this, but for now it can’t produce anything original. Interesting experiment, though. Thanks.

Interestingly Gainsborough Central at one point had an hourly service for about a year between 2019 and 2020 (maybe a bit longer) between Gainsborough Central and Sheffield. Then when that idiotic virus hit the service was suspended. But still had the 3/w Saturday service including Brigg and Kirton (for some reason didn't get the hourly service). Now I have a feeling the 2/d service at Gainsborough Central, Brigg and Kirton are possibly trail services for an hourly service in the future.
