Stourbridge Junction Railway Station featuring George the Station Cat

[@kentrailexplorer]

Great video! Your channel needs so much more attention. I love how the dot matrix display says ‘1 carriage’.

[@RainhamRailEnthusiast]

Thank you very much and yes that is quite an unusual display!

[@celinehynes3336]

Stourbridge bird song is incredible

You are most welcome.

[@diasciapink7558]

That was really fascinating, thank you

[@susucattayls4679]

That was interesting and fun to see George!

[@RainhamRailEnthusiast]

He is a character that's for sure!

[@StuAnderson90]

Really.. I was bored all the way through... It was like work training video.. a sleepfest... I nearly fell asleep twice 😂

[@AnthonyFurnival]

Thank you for watching.

My mum sends me Georges goodnight messages every night and i even got a bunch of George merch sent by him

[@arlenesobhani8739]

May 2024. My orange and white cat Pippin watched the video of George with intense interest. I also enjoyed this excursion.

[@RainhamRailEnthusiast]

Many thanks to you and Pippin!!

[@davidgarston3353]

Nice vid lovely to see where George lives

[@RainhamRailEnthusiast]

Thank you very much for watching, I do appreciate it 🙂

[@sofiahussein3751]

Aww George 🥰🥰🥰

[@Clivestravelandtrains]

I enjoyed that film thanks, although at the start I thought it was a bit tedious to see all the stops between London and Birmingham. I've never been to Stourbridge Town but will put it on my list next time I treat myself to an all-line rover ticket. The Junction station looks very attractive, and I think a grand departure would be to take the Chiltern train down to London Marylebone. Well done for adding the historical interest, too.

[@RainhamRailEnthusiast]

I had thought of doing the class 68 back, but I would have got back home very late. May do the journey to Stourbridge that way next time I go to the area

[@thegreatwesterner9481]

Hopefully you come visit again i don't live far from stourbridge junction

[@graemehannam3950]

Congratulations to George the station cat for winning the world Cup of stations, we have 2 Station Cats in Huddersfield felix and bolt, felix and bolt are on Facebook etc, felix also has 2 books published, George is a lovely cat too, will have to look him up on Facebook, he's such a cutie

[@Andrewjg_89]

I do hope that the Class 139 Parry People Mover doesn’t get replaced. They are very ideal reliable small bus like trains operating the Stourbridge Town branch line.

[@adamj6113]

Love that book swap idea! Would be great to have these in London

[@RainhamRailEnthusiast]

It is surprising how many I have found in stations I've visited recently, although mainly in rural locations. Thanks for watching.

[@adamj6113]

@@RainhamRailEnthusiast My pleasure. Great video.

[@davidpanton3192]

Great, so comprehensive that I don't have to go there myself. I notice that the branch is so short it offers a 10 minute service using a single unit! I hope the driver has other duties...

[@RainhamRailEnthusiast]

Thanks for watching, there are two drivers, they take turns checking tickets and driving the service!

[@unkleoo]

Ride quality looks like it's significantly improved on the branch with the renewed track :-)

[@RainhamRailEnthusiast]

It wasn't too bumpy at all, I had heard it was a little rough before, so was glad to see it re-tracked. Thankyou for watching.

[@trevorjones3273]

When the train leaves Stourbridge Junction towards Birmingham, it turns right into a 15mph bend. But the line also carries straight on. How many trains use that 'straight on' line, or is it just for freight?

[@RainhamRailEnthusiast]

My belief is it's just freight, however I think there is/was a campaign to open it up to passenger traffic. www.stourbridge.com/stourbridge-line.htm

[@xxalexaviation]

@@RainhamRailEnthusiast Stourbridge is my home town and i believe its all trains but nit 100% sure

[@SeanMidlandstransporthub]

Nice video! Liked and subbed

[@RainhamRailEnthusiast]

Thanks very much for watching!

[@265hemi7]

New subscriber , Melbourne , Australia ...seems that a few stations over there have cats from what I've read ! I have done railway content on my own channel ! Building up takes time ! I never thought I'd make about 350 subscribers !

[@RainhamRailEnthusiast]

It sure does take time! Thankyou for watching, will take a look at your channel 🙂

[@vwes]

Superb Bro. We need to see if we can do a collaboration video up here :-)

[@north2kohala]

[@hughjones4060]

Why did you walk to Snow Hill,? You could have changed trains at Smethwick Galton Bridge

[@RainhamRailEnthusiast]

I did'nt really have the local knowledge to realise that was an option. However when I revisit in the future I will probably use Chiltern from Marylebone.

[@celinehynes3336]

Isn't the People Mover running on LPG?

[@RainhamRailEnthusiast]

Yes they do, in a modified ford diesel engine, to add initial power to the flywheel and to power the other electrics on the train.

[@transporttimeagain3632]

Stupid face masks

[@Andrewjg_89]

And why is that?? Unless you are exempt.

[@Rosie6857]

"Take care on the stairs". Most people do. Only 3-yr-olds need to be told this. "Don't rush". Why not? Maybe I want to rush. What's it got to do with you? What a ghastly little place - not a soul to be seen unless the cat has a soul. Worse than East Croydon and that's saying something.

[@philroberts7238]

And what an unnecessarily sour comment, if I may say so.
