Not Cool, Marshall - Episode 44, Day 81 - Knaresborough to Whitley Bridge

[@gobears6487]

"Britain runs on tea" ... "I thought it was gin...!" Brilliant Vicki!!!! 😃

[@jacquelinewesson1202]

I run on gin

Sometimes we all a little bit Vicki 🤣

365 rooms to represent the days of the year. I'm watching this on 29 February!

It is really impressive seeing both of them still this excited so late in the journey!

[@fishyfish2]

I can't believe that Vicki didn't mention the most pertinent fact about the Grand Hotel - that when viewed from above it's shaped like a "V" for Victoria! :)

[@user-vq8gm3vj8o]

I really wonder why many people rated it so low

[@ConstantinSPurcea]

I died at "I love Costa, Costa's my favourite" *drinks from Starbucks cup.

[@GrahamGarnerQu]

My mother met my Dad at a dance in the Grand Hotel during WW2, she was a projectionist in the local cinema and he was at a nearby training camp... I had no idea about its architecture!

[@iansmithfootball]

A fact about Seamer station. It's not actually in Seamer village which is about 2 miles away.

[@arthurerickson5162]

Another great video, Geoff and Vicki! York is my favorite city! Always spend at least a few days every time I visit the UK (with obligatory trip to NRM). Agree with Geoff re Costa. No cafes near me in New York (lots of Pret’s, ‘tho), but I can get the beans!

[@markholm7050]

In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we have two funiculars, only we call them inclines: the Duquesne Incline and the Monongahela Incline. Years ago, there were many more.

[@DavidWood2]

11:45 Bridlington beach (either one; personally I'm more familiar with the south beach) is worth a visit, as is the harbour. I have many happy memories there. If you didn't go whilst you were there, I recommend it if you ever make a return visit to the East Yorkshire coast.

[@RJSRdg]

Poppleton was the site of a 'railway nursery', which provided all the flowers for railway station gardens and restaurant car table ornaments. Part of the nursery still exists, with a short narrow gauge railway (made 'infamous' by the Narrow Gauge Railway Modelling Forum's photo quiz where anyone who doesn't know the answer just says "Poppleton Nurseries"!)

[@a_eastcoast.pacer1]

When you were travelling on the Scarborough to Hull Line, I was on holiday in bridlington, and alas, it was rainy.

[@pagrant]

i love scarborough. I remember the tram in scarborough was 20p when I went in the 90s with my parents, for kids and 50p for adults. I was in Scarborough in 2021 and we could see the castle from the hotel bedroom we were staying in

[@kenstevens5065]

Guy Fawkes shacked up at Scotton just outside Knaresborough before his demise. Glad you have a shot of Knaresborough black and white buildings at the start. No one knows why some are painted that way!

[@oscyk]

I can't believe that they got a shot of a shorter bench at Scarborough!! Also, at 14:19, it looks like Vicki fell into the gap...

[@LWR1]

lmao I was thinking that as I just watched it 😂

[@ChrisInTheNorth]

Woke up at 4am... Turned on Radio, and there was Geoff and Vicki being interviewed on the World Service.... World Fame awaits

[@sgt.eclair]

Do you know where I could find this interview?

[@AllTheStations]

www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p059s1pg#play at 28:59

[@ChrisInTheNorth]

Ahhh The team got in there first. I just prepared the link but don't need it again... You have to live in the UK to listen to it, I think. If you don't there may be another way of getting it because its the world service.

[@gobears6487]

You don't have to be in the UK! I'm in California at the moment and getting it! THANKS for link!

[@AP-ur9ej]

I'm from the Netherlands, and I can listen to It too (2020)

[@NorthernBirdBoy]

Ahh no Knottingley to Wakefield or leeds line... boo. I know they aint exciting in the slightest, was just looking forward to spotting my stations. Looks like you have been having a great time. The Festiniog narrow gauge steam line was epic.

[@sirrliv]

I remember Chigley! Thank you KZbin for letting me watch that brilliant old show. Talking of things that are off the quaint scale.

[@frim3647]

Life for us in the north :/ the rain reflects my everyday mood

[@ianmcclavin]

It's been claimed that Camberwick Green, Trumpton and Chigley were inspired by the villages of Wivlesfield Green, Plumpton and Chailey in West Sussex. (Railway stations at Plumpton and Wivlesfield of course)

[@CalamityJames.]

Knaresborough, where I spent the first 5 years of my life. Beautiful town. Bonus fact: The picture framing shop on the platform is owned by my uncle's best friend from school! You also missed an opportunity for (the ruins of) a castle in Knaresborough, with a fantastic view of the viaduct!

[@keithspillett7312]

You should release all these videos on a Blu-ray set when your trip is over. Wonderful stuff 😀📷🏞

[@geordieal]

Time flies by when you're the driver of a train, speeding out of Trumpton with a cargo of cocaine. I get high when I'm the pilot of a plane, touching down at camberwick, I'm stoned out of my brain.

Careful with that spliff Eugene, it causes condensation.

I love how Sam is so passionate about what matters nought to the engineers who actually designed the train platform he's talking about.

[@grays257]

Yawn... Can't believe I wasted 3 minutes of my life listening to Sam.

[@peel_acres]

90p! I remember when it was 10p! #old I also used to work at the Grand Hotel but got fired for some long forgotten reason. Sadly the inside has not been cared for in the way you'd hope by a succession of terrible owners. The bottom 4 floors are basically flooded and water damaged. Glad Geoff got to visit the castle. I grew up 10 mins away and it was all my childhood playground.

[@tonyskinner1643]

Certainly a case of riches to rags, inside is actually ordinary in no way special except in parts eg the Dining Room view. Now an 'economy' type hotel.

[@baseballfan99]

Tony Skinner Owned by the vile Britannia group. Their hotels around Manchester are appalling.

[@NoKetsujo]

The rooms in the turrets of the hotel are nice at least.

[@svitapeneela]

Mark - I remember it being 14p for adults and 9p for kids - 1988. I've still got the tickets in a tupperware box at mum's house!

[@stevewyman2822]

thats incredible...I never knew that about the Grand Hotel....its just like an the old 78rpm record I've got in my collection..." Deck of Cards " recorded back in 1959..narrating.how a pack of cards works out the same way....amazing man..!!!.

[@phu010]

I'm going to call them Fonuncular Railways from now on.

[@MrGreatplum]

Anthony Houghton - it's definitely a fonuncular from now on!

[@Dave_Sisson]

Is the Forn-icular the rail equivalent of the Mile High Club?

[@risvegliato]

scarborough is great when its not raining! a fine town. Better than the Lancashire resorts like Blackpool.

[@marcuswells3020]

The grand hotel in Scarborough is an example of a 'calendar house' - as Vicky explained

[@w0033944]

I remember drinking coffee on the balcony of the Grand Hotel a few years back. It was drier and brighter than in this video, but it was extremely windy.

[@melanietuffen]

Aww made me miss York, where I lived before I moved to Ireland.

[@HenrysAdventures]

The blue Costa Coffee reminds me of the brown McDonalds sign in Freiburg City Centre, Germany. It's brown to fit in with the historic half timbered buildings.

[@peterwhitaker4038]

some years back they put a 'Mc Donald's' snack bar inside Goodison Park home of Everton Football club but due to local rivalry with neighbours Liverpool F.C. who play in red they had to signage it in blue not traditional MAC red. true!

[@LouisOnAir]

Wow, England is so close to completion (I know you already did it on social media) I'm excited for the end but then I don't want it to end.

[@freddienz]

Another great report. Worth every cent, OOPS, penny of my donation.

[@MrBiggordy]

"...I thought it was gin!" Good for you, Vicki!

[@deathrider7]

Trumpton, Chigley and Camberwick Green was great to watch.

[@ellie1390]

Hinckley has a picture framing shop in the station!!

[@svitapeneela]

Whitby did too, but it got turned into a MicroPub recently :)

[@simontay4851]

A pub is better than a picture shop.

[@DavidShepheard]

A pub makes a better facility for passengers, but if there is enough room, maybe they could have both.

[@Rega128]

That guard is a legend :-)

[@simontay4851]

Go back to Scarborough in the summer and visit the park. Viki would love it, its very quaint. You can feed the pigions and squirrels from your hand.

[@SaturnCanuck]

Nice. Being I am from Scarborough (Ontario Canada). :)

[@DasGrinch]

Hey, and there's those 'teeth' stickers on the door as talked about on a much earlier episode!

[@RickyNowis]

My local Scarborough station. For those who don't know, Scarborough also used to have a branch line which used to run to Whitby via Scalby and Robin Hoods Bay ☺

[@Mortimer50145]

The Whitby to Scarborough railway (closed by Guess Who) has now been converted to a cycle track called the Cinder Track. We cycled from Ravenscar to Whitby and back, and it was a tough climb for the last mile back to the car. At least, it was for me; my wife has a Cheat Bike (an electric bike) so she found it easy. I can remember when I was little playing in the stream at Sandsend (just north of Whitby) and jumping off one of the foundation supports of the old viaduct into the water. The highlight of the Cinder Track is the magnificent view of Whitby Abbey from Larpool Viaduct, especially if there's a steam train from Pickering going under the viaduct on the Grosmont-Whitby line.

[@DamoMcDermott]

Scarborough has the longest bench in europe i thin

[@jopalmer4193]

As a picture framer I wish our framing shop was on a station platform 🙁 that would be much more fun. And I'm old enough to have enjoyed Camberwick Green and Trumpton. We used to listen to them on LP's!

[@ericjamieson]

Oh man, can't get enough of that Malton food. Can't wait to get back and purchase some food.

[@pumax4083]

wow saw on your website your in Scotland already! tips 1.recommended getting out at Stirling and Wemyss bay because they have stunning ticket offices 2. at stranraer there is a wonderful cafe called the fig & olive a short walk up the road from the station 3. springfield has a low platform were the building is and then raises to a high platform 4. dundee has a fantastic waterfront for Vicki to explore 5. perth and dunkeld have stunning cathedrals and st.johns kirk in perth to explore would have loved to have meet you in perth son is a huge fan -a.douglas

[@cmcofficial1964]

I live near malton station It’s very windy and rainy but when it’s warm and the suns out it is a very good area also the food festival is amazing

[@MiggleMYT]

That guard at the end though 😍😍😍😍

[@markknight3983]

Poppleton even has a village green and a maypole !!!

[@Mudkip0408]

I love all the station and tea watched this whilst building my giant lego routemaster

[@alicehancock1]

If Geoff is sad about missing the funicular, he should come back to Bournemouth - we've got the shortest one in the world!

[@Jmlowson93]

We've stayed in the grand hotel about 7000000 times growing up and we were surprised to find a photo of a relative who played cricket for England in one of the stairwells

[@whackingbadge]

Was I the only one who noticed this? 'I love Costa Coffee!' *drinks Starbucks coffee*

[@peterbartlett6820]

The irony's in the Gag

[@whackingbadge]

Peter Bartlett Yeah, I know. :D.

[@MagicaLucem]

Whacking Badge I totally noticed the greeniee Starbucks logo too.. This is yet another little twiggler in this video...but it does seem "All the stations" is powered by Costa ..chuckle.

[@whackingbadge]

Beaker998 Gaming People may have. However, at the time I posted this comment nobody had said anything about it.

[@jonathanirons231]

Sigh ...

[@maxcostello8927]

@AllTheStaitions I go to Scarborough quite a lot to see my granny and we go to the Royal Hotel and the castle and they are both amazing the painting of constructing the hotel in the rooms and the castle has quite a few big walls as the castle has been falling down.

[@markstramtrainbuscapades1729]

There's actually two cliff railways in Scarborough, the other one being at the Pavilion at South Bay. But there were once four! There was one the other side of the Grand that was mostly in position but unoperational in 2012 (the last time I went to Scarborough), whilst the other was at North Bay.

[@svitapeneela]

There was a fifth one - it ran from Queen's Parade down to the pier in the North Bay. Absolutely no evidence of it now - it closed in 1887 after a landslip :)

[@finlaycordiner3492]

Saltburn has a picture framing shop on its platform.

[@harrytodhunter5078]

knaresborough is one of my favourite stations. Very quaint

[@cezstone6057]

bridlington is my home station and we all love it

[@fabulousbookfiend9127]

Argh I've been waiting for you to get to Knaresborough for so long! So nice to see my hometown with you guys whilst watching from Denver! I was shocked that you didn't film the castle though-I felt sure you would be all about the history there! Also can't believe you didn't get an ice cream in The Harbour Bar in Scarborough...

[@grayman999]

Geoff if you look at the old tile NER maps that are on the wall of the NRM ,Scarborough ,Filey Bridlington & Beverley there is a railway shown but never built from Beverley via Tickton ,Leven ,Brandesburton and terminates at North Frodingham ! I know you like this type of fact ! I think it was to be called the North Holderness railway ?

[@johnlister]

There's also an NER map on a wall at York station, or at least there was. Had all the railways around Eston and Guisboro which ended up only being half built.

[@adamsnapey]

[@kathryns4722]

Hugh, Pugh, Barney, McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grub. or something like that. I remember.

[@peterwsanders]

Classic Scarborough in the summer

[@annwags]

Down the hill from the Castle is a Church. Across a walk path is the new graveyard . . . where there is a famous Writer buried. Agreed, they recently replaced the headstone. And the edges are already wearing away! (Hint: she died in 1849).

[@davidhcobbald3632]

Knaresborough very quaint. Must visit one day.

[@benivanphillips]

I wish they put as much work into the Southern livery as they do into Virgin Train's. It really tells you something about the franchise when the word 'First Class' is larger than the word 'Southern'

[@roundel52]

Poppleton should certainly be on Trumptonshire

[@CB-zr8fq]

Seamer Station is not at Seamer, it is at Crossgates, but there is already a crossgates station near Leeds so it was called the next village along Seamer

[@nigelkthomas9501]

Next time you visit Scarborough you must have fish and chips in Whackers! There the best in Yorkshire! 😋😋😋😋😋

[@englandtrainspotter5398]

I'm so sad I missed you at york !!

[@stevieinselby]

Interesting point of trivia - for a while, Malton was the only station that was in a different county to the town it served.

[@andyburbidge4938]

stevieinselby Yes, Malton is actually in Norton, and to correct Vicky - Seamer is acutually in Crossgates.

[@Woollylinnet]

I believe the former was at one time (like many of the local organisations) called Malton and Norton. As for the latter, they called it Seamer because there was already a Cross Gates at the Leeds end of the line.

[@uwlodar]

Bridlington station really grinds my gears. The platforms are 4, 5 & 6, and there is no platform 3, 2 or 1. Bridlington, please renumber your platforms.

[@ben.x]

Its a thing that's always been going on - I think the locals are used to the confusion but I get 4 and 6 confused.

[@arfski]

Probably know this all ready, but there used to be platform 1,2, 3, 7 and 8. Some of the platforms are longer than usual to accommodate the long special holiday trains that used to come to Bridlington, 7 and 8 were especially long. The concourse is so wide so it could accomodate the huge number of people getting off the holiday trains.

[@ericjamieson]

Shrewsbury has 5 platforms numbered 3-7. Platforms 1 and 2 are no longer in use.

[@vincentalexander2985]

Stockport has a platform 0 (zero)...

[@lucatrifan2797]

Title should be changed to "It's not cool, Marshall"

[@-sarahhhh-727]

They did

[@srhvideo]

Was the title originally "We are Ruth less"?

[@tomsmith5584]

Shaun House When I hear the name Ruth, I think of one of the main characters in the movie Threads, one of the greatest feel-good movies of the 1980s.

[@kimifur]

@@tomsmith5584 ROFL "feel-good"! XD

[@grassytramtracks]

She can't chat, she went on the funicular (or the fonuncular as she calls it) without him too

[@Jonsie66]

Sorry if already mentioned....The Costa coffee shop on York station is in the former York station signal box!

[@AllTheStations]

Geoff mentions this IN the video, yes.

[@davidwho1011]

When I last went to Scarborough, it still had a blue Police Box. :)

[@davidwho1011]

Mortimer50145 Oh. Okay. :S

[@kapage74]

Odd fact from 2020, the bus at 9:20 belongs to the company I now work for in Clacton running summer open top services

[@markstramtrainbuscapades1729]

I dunno! You go to York, you show the excellent York Tap, with it's real ale and excellent pork pies and you go and have a tea?

[@oliverrodgers83]

I stayed in the Grand hotel once, lovely on the outside but lots of things went wrong. Bit of a shame.

[@greghill7759]

What Vicky failed to mention about the Grand in Scarborough is that it was the largest hotel in Europe.

[@irl_zulu]

The class 91 will be missed :c The azuma train looks much narrower and yeah

[@frankjohnson68]

Really enjoy the videos, was at York station the same time as the video

[@airfoxtrot2006]

Excellent!

[@connellylawcoprusjuris4408]

Of course Malton is known for good food my aunte from there taught me how to make Yorkshires.

Krystle White whoops! We meant Broomfleet, not Brough.

[@tyneside1946]

Brough really isn't an awkward station! 67 trains a day from Hull, and trains from as far afield as London and Manchester as well...

"It's not cool, Marshall - you went to the castle without me!" "Well, Pipe, YOU went on the tram without ME!" Oh, and the next time somebody is talking to someone from Virgin Trains, could you ask them how I ended up with a reservation (made months in advance, mind you) for a seat on a train that somebody else had as well?
