Another memory from my youth! Thanks again! Jim from Oz.

I like the aerial photograph of the area. I have a similar photograph, but showing the railway yards behind Queens Quay Station. Congratulations on acquiring 400 subscribers.

Thanks! About 398 more than I expected when I started doing this

Insane to see the last bridge and all the bustling around it.. and now? Not so much.. Great seeing the old photos, giving us an idea of what it was like and something to compare to :) Really enjoyed your videos, please keep at it.

[@Harvles93]

Also, Id like to ask. In your Dundonald video, you managed to get through all the bushes and nettles and got to the 3 bits of the railway put into the ground - Where on the greenway is this? I tried to compare your video to where I was but I still couldnt find them..

[@trainscranesandtrivialtale7262]

Can't remember exactly. Pretty sure it was on the Comber Road side when you're up at the level of the old station house

Great to see the videos again; I travel past here every morning. Tonight passing over Dargen bridge the enterprise was slowly snaking itself with an unbranded slightly blue loco. Never seen it before. Keep the videos coming. Maybe a wee video on Conlig bridge given its current interest.

[@trainscranesandtrivialtale7262]

Did you see I did a wee video seven months ago about it? Was just about the petition to save it though

[@ST-ur7oh]

@@trainscranesandtrivialtale7262 will have a look. It doesn’t sound hopeful sadly.

Laganview bridge was filled in earlier this year.

Hey mate, just found your channel myself and I love you content. Could listen to you talk all bloody day hahaha Do you have any interesting takes on what you reckon Translink might do once the new transport hub is finished and replaces Great Victoria Street? Personally I hope they build Lisburn West next and reopen the stupidly unused Antrim - Lisburn line haha Hopefully I'm not just full of wishful thinking as I feel I am lmao also subscribed because of actually good local content :)

[@trainscranesandtrivialtale7262]

Cheers, great to hear you're enjoying my channel! In fantasy land I'd obviously want to see the former railways relaid, but in the real world I'd love the Lisburn to Antrim line reopened and both Aldergrove and Sydenham stations seriously upgraded to serve the two airports.

@@trainscranesandtrivialtale7262 Of course, it's rare to find any history/informational channels about NI haha And yeah I've been thinking that myself quite a bit. Sydenham definitely needs better foot access to the airport and a stop at Aldergrove would finally mean all those misleading 'air link' rail tickets wouldn't be so misleading anymore hahaha
