Universal Studios Nov 2024 site update |

[@OcelotSoul]

I just gotta say I realy appreciate your updates even if there isnt much to report. Its a nice distraction while the wait for news drags on. Your good at filling up space with your thoughts and good sense of humor. You didnt have to do all this for us, but you are and so, thanks!

[@ProjectUniversalUK]

Thanks, it is becoming more difficult to find an angle to film and talk about but if this happens there will be fresh content all the time.

[@tinplategeektoo]

Thank you for the history lesson. We need to document things before they vanish or are forgotten about.Looking at Bedfordshire today, it is hard to believe that the countryside was littered with industrial works as they have all been obliterated. Nothing saved for the future to celebrate the past.

[@TheHarwoodButcher]

Love these videos. Very interesting especially as a relatively local. Keep up the great work.

[@ProjectUniversalUK]

Thank you.

[@colinloney-zo2ux]

Interesting video. I remember driving down to the old Greenwich gas works when they were de-commissioning, it in the mid 80's. I was collecting the asbestos insulation that had been removed from the pipes. I used to tip it right at the bottom of the old Stewartby landfill site before it was filled with general waste. The Greenwich peninsular was always really foggy and spooky and the drive to the bottom of the old Stewartby pit seemed to take forever, it was a long way down.

[@ProjectUniversalUK]

Thanks for the memories Colin

Even the plot of land for the new train station/transport hub and junction is quite large. Everyone can see the sheer scale of the project that Universal is undertaking, it's gigantic. This guy's channel is going to skyrocket if/when construction gets started.

[@ProjectUniversalUK]

It would be nice to skyrocket!

[@themeparkkieran4573]

The thing on the back with tines would have been the cultivator

[@jeffreyr3056]

Can not wait for universal to get started

[@kevinhiscock8475]

if they get started

[@alisongreen7447]

Genuine question, do we think they are holding off whilst they see how ticket sales go for Epic?

[@DavidKnowles0]

No, they are in close negotiations with the government on tax breaks and infrastructure funds. Everyone has been told not to talk about the project whilst those negotiations going on.

[@carolinecleaveley-q1r]

cultivating the soil pre sowing next years crop. Went to shutts at old warden for 3 years . caroline.

[@ProjectUniversalUK]

Thanks

[@killratty1670]

Those fields have been cultivated and seeded more than likely to be a winter wheat crop

[@danielmorley3690]

Does anyone have any info on when an announcement might be made?

[@ProjectUniversalUK]

Nobody knows yet.

[@TomStorey96]

Wheat in it's very very early stages looks a lot like grass. But that just looks like grass to me. It's not consistently in rows to suggest it has grown from drilled seed. In my non-farming opinion, but based on what I have seen in farmland next to where I live.

[@stevecox7713]

The field has now been drilled with seed

[@ProjectUniversalUK]

Thanks Steve.

[@keithrushton9899]

A harrow? Used for breaking up and levelling soil...

[@ProjectUniversalUK]

Yes, I googled that and it looks like the tool. Thanks.

[@stevecox7713]

The field has now been drilled with seed

[@KHuntie]

Highly doubt they have put crops in at this time of year. Usually will prep ground before winter hits ready to plant in next year.

[@ProjectUniversalUK]

Thanks for the info!

[@jimhignett6993]

Not this year, it was too wet for drilling until quite recently. I have a workshop.on a farm and the farmer wished that he had waited a little longer as some of his seed went into too muddy land.

[@wookieeMan06]

wonder will they add a station if project happens?

[@ProjectUniversalUK]

yes

[@Squidster35]

I'm really confused, theres nothing there yet? 🙁

[@ProjectUniversalUK]

Nope, nothing but a lot want updates. I'll do another in 2 weeks

[@uttermanbo]

Universal likely knows the answer already. I doubt they let anything out until Epic Universe is fully operational and open. Epic has a chance to fully overtake any Disney park in the world, and I suspect the people in power want to drive that home. A new park in Europe is huge news and whatever happens is going to draw some attention away from Epic. Good or bad.

[@ProjectUniversalUK]

Agreed, they know but will wait to announce.

[@dave3374]

My better half works for bca and wants to no ifvits in the way

[@oddsandwindsocks5905]

Until universal say a definitely yes , we just dont know

[@ProjectUniversalUK]

You are absolutely right, we just do not know right now.
