Glad the weather was ok and good place stop along the line to explore. Good to see the old stone crushing site.👍

[@schoolshorts]

Sadly I don't get there as often as I'd like - it's just too far to travel making for a very long day, especially during the autumn/winter period with short daylight hours.

And it's raining again, but a great video of the days loco's very nice indeed, must visit again soon, cheers Steve .

[@schoolshorts]

Ah well - that's the Lake District for you. All the best!

[@ttteshorts8860]

I love the guy disciplining his dog in the background! 😂

[@schoolshorts]

A nice little touch for which I can claim no credit!

I wondered where part 2 was Now I know rain stopped play. Had to laugh at Ross telling you he would be seeing you later as they whizzed past. The emergency stop was a lucky catch, hopefully the cause of it will not be so foolish again, all round an enjoyable video

[@schoolshorts]

Goodness only knows when the earlier parts will be ready. I'd been telling Ross about the occasion a few years ago when precisely that happened to me at Murthwaite Halt - a very well-known driver was looking in the opposite direction and didn't see me standing with arm outstretched. Fortunately the guard was more alert and hit the emergency brake. I ended up running down the track while hordes of passengers were hanging out of their coaches trying to see what was going on.

@@schoolshorts LOL What a sight that must of been The look on your face as the train did not stop then you running after it. I hope your files are all saved. I know you re use your SD cards, this is why I keep them as masters and copy files to PC. I may loose edited video but at least can start over again

[@macjim]

Tim, do you need to book a seat to travel or can you turn up and get on the train? I know during the pandemic booking was compulsory. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚂

[@schoolshorts]

Most of the time you can just turn up and buy a ticket but even members like myself will be turned away if a train is fully booked. Advance booking guarantees you a seat.

[@jimmystransportmarvels8815]

Very nice. Have you ever been to the leadhills and wanlockhead railway? It never seems to be open!

[@schoolshorts]

Yes indeed. One of my old Glaswegian friends volunteers there. No steam, I'm afraid.

[@stephencope7178]

As the owner of two miniature live steam locos, I can vouch for the behaviour of today's kids, that have no interest in the engineering aspect of railways. Just give them a video game and they'll be as happy as Larry!!

[@schoolshorts]

Happily we do have quite a number of youngsters who are regulars at Carlisle and are both enthusiastic and knowledgeable - so there's still some hope for the future!

[@heinorustenbeck4333]

I really do agree with you …
