Staycation Part 2 Settle to Appleby. A ride along the Settle and Carlisle. A covid-19 distraction

[@anmolmehta7116]

Ah, the countryside of England. It is too breathtaking to behold. Lovely fields going whizzing by as we pass along. I really am looking forward to watching part 3.

YOUR NEW CAMER IS FANTASTIC I WATCHED IT IN 1080 SEEMED LIKE 2160 CHEERS MAT TAKE CAREN HOPEFULLY THE WORLD IS GETTING BACK ON ITS FEET

[@chaosdemonwolf1]

Your opening line says it all. 2020 will forever be remembered as the new 4 letter cuss word.

[@RailMart]

yep

[@TIMBOWERMAN]

It's two words - twenty twenty and has twelve letters.

At 18-50, about 200 yards before entering Bleamoore Tunnel you pass under a bridge . It's not a road bridge but is an aqueduct carrying Force Gill, a mountain stream down a series of steps over the railway. The stream later re-crosses under the line. It's a lovely spot, well worth the effort of the walk up (with plenty more to see) from Ribblehead.

[@brucewilliams8714]

Thank you so much for evoking memories of a trip, in the reverse direction behind Duchess of Hamilton in January 1984, when I was visiting Britain. Your video was shot on a beautiful day.

[@Bigbro28]

Part 2; even better than Part 1. 👍 This is now one of my favourite cab rides. 🐨🇦🇺

[@geoffbarry9540]

Memories; in May 1998 my wife and I holidayed in England ( and briefly in France). One week was spent in Richmond North Yorks and we visited the S & C a couple of times. We specifically went to see Ribblehead, where a fabulous day out was highlighted by first the world's worst burgers purchased from a food van beside the viaduct, and then a delightful pub dinner in the hostelry that can be seen down to the right of the line between station and viaduct. Nothing finer than eating a good meal and drinking a tasty ale, whilst watching a train of coal hoppers go past above, through a window put in specifically to enable patrons to watch the trains go by. And it was a beautiful day like that shown in your video. Thanks for rekindling fond memories.

[@RailMart]

Your most welcome.

[@TIMBOWERMAN]

Geoff Barry , where are you from? Not the States, they would say "vacationed" not "holidayed"?

[@geoffbarry9540]

@@TIMBOWERMAN Originally, Croydon - then in Surrey. Migrated to Australia in 1968. Now enjoying retirement in Paynesvillle, beside Lake King in south eastern Victoria. We enjoyed the 12998 holiday so much we sold everything up in 2002 and moved to England for four and a half years, in Hawkhurst Kent then in Hastings. Came back to Oz at the end of 2006.

The Class 47 has always been my favourite Locomotive. I see 47712 is called Lady Diana Spencer again. I have a model in Parcels Red. 1st saw 712 on the E&Gs in BR Blue.

[@RailMart]

Class 45 man myself.

[@drdoolittle5724]

Just TOTALLY brilliant in every way, a TOTAL gem. Thank you so much for bringing to us. Should be put forward as BEST CAB RIDE on KZbin, if that was a category!

[@millie422]

Thanks for this gorgeous video. And the soundtrack makes all the difference. I've been up and down this line a few times, and the footage takes me right back there.

[@truckermylouk]

Finally a video with sound 🙏🏼👌🏼

[@christopherbraiden6713]

Thanks for the cab ride totally awesome area to go by train behind a class 47!!😎🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇬🇧

[@billmccolgan3798]

What a difference the weather makes. I've travelled this route a few times and it rained continually each time, so a pleasure to see it like this. Many thanks for your video.

[@RailMart]

Couldn't agree more!

[@davidcowie2462]

Thank you so much for this wonderful rail experience. Sitting in the train you get such a limited view of one side of the line. Here we see both sides and the front view. What a graphic experience of”light at the end of the tunnel”! The conditions in there must have been horrendous during construction. I appreciate your on screen comments. I think the addition of the three peaks names would be of interest. Thanks again. Keep up the good work!

[@RailMart]

You are most welcome

[@msparry1]

Excellent journey. And such lovely weather, My walking boots were twitching!

[@RailMart]

Wonderful!

[@rubyait]

Boy, it was a great day! Beautiful video. Thanks so much.

[@RailMart]

Many thanks as ever!

[@exileinderby51]

Great views on the S&C, I think Time team did an excavation above Rise Hill Tunnel. Another brilliant video, thank you for sharing.

[@RailMart]

yes they did...

[@petermolloy6142]

As someone has already alluded to, it’s a great relief to be able to watch one of your videos and have sound! One disappointment was that you weren’t able to mention the statue of the dog Ruswarp at Garsdale station, or make mention of it in the written introduction. Apparently, Garsdale was a favourite location for Ruswarp and his owner. However, I suppose that, on a train journey, there’s so much to see that somethings have to be missed. Your videos, which were already good, are now much better for having sound. Well done.

[@RailMart]

Thanks Peter. If this was a full time project that could be funded as such we would take great time to do far more research to enhance the videos. But unfortunately it isn't. All the new videos will have sound. Its the 4 year old archive stuff that doesn't because of HR restrictions at the time.

[@agw100100]

Very nicely presented, thanks.

[@RailMart]

Glad you liked it!

[@silvanski]

All aboard for part 2! Glorious weather.

[@RailMart]

Thanks.

[@davidwilson7059]

A great day out in a beautiful country,Why is there only one track on the ribblehead viaduct?,cheer's bob.

[@RailMart]

Hello Bob. It was singled and centred to ease wear and tear on the bridge.

[@MartinMiller1]
