When a Video Goes Wrong..

I tried to visit five new stations on the Marston Vale line, however a signalling failure got the better of me.

Bro's luck wasted on seeing the Pullman 💀

The most common message heard in UK:"We are sorry.........."

[@BenskiBoi]

To announce that the 10:46 train is delayed by 50 minutes

[@Trainspotting_Mayhem]

9:49 loving Nicks impression of the David Tennant Doctor

[@kriss_b]

Yea that's just what I was thinking

[@caramelldansen2204]

Aha! Someone caught on!

Trainspotting Mayhem, I didn't expect to see you here!

@@NickBadley "Doctor What"

[@TrainsOfDorset]

You could get delay repay! 🤣

[@LemoncloudGT]

it would cost them more to send the letter then the cost of the ticket

[@katrinabryce]

A delay of between 30 and 59 minutes gets you a refund of 50% of the ticket price, so 33p.

[@rockerjim8045]

yep. 65p

[@nathanw9770]

​@@katrinabryce Still better than nothing

[@NickBadley]

33p!

[@YellowDragonPlays]

Kempston Hardwick is set to be the main station location for Universat Studios Great Gritain, which is currently in the discussion and planning phase.

[@garethsmith2250]

They will build a spur off midland mainline for sure or upgrade this Mickey Mouse line...

[@DavidWood2]

​@@garethsmith2250The Marston Vale line is due to be upgraded anyway as part of East West Rail. The consultation on upgrading the Bletchley to Bedford stretch of the line is due to start in the next few months.

[@martinessam4629]

Or a new station on the MML

[@andrewinfosec]

The random wooden thing was a skateboard quarter pipe standing on it's end.

[@rockerjim8045]

The Marston Vale Line. There’s more infrastructure in Sudan

[@Nooticus]

Rubbish, it’s a great line

[@garethsmith2250]

Delay repay on cancelled trains will be good at 65p each 😂

[@MRTransportVideos]

The moment you saw your non-cancelled cancelled train, and exclaimed "What? What? WHAT??", you sounded like David Tennant after he'd regenerated into the 14th Doctor - wonderful!

[@Nooticus]

I must say Nick, you got INCREDIBLY lucky to get back to Bedford that quickly after a signal failure on a branch line when you were at a station with no facilities. I would say this video went extremely lucky!

[@SamiKelsh]

I’m glad at least you got a Pullman Jumpscare to make up for the later cancellations! Sadly, such is sometimes the way of trying to do Train Stuff. Thanks for sharing the adventure x

[@GoranNewsum]

Not sure if you're a Doctor Who fan Nick, but I got strong 10th Doctor vibes at 9:50! "WHAT?"

[@AutoUnder]

Oh I assure you he is haha

[@NickBadley]

Was definitely somewhat intentional ;)

[@ReecesTrains]

Still really enjoyed! It's unfortunate these things happen, I've had to put up with it a few times too.

[@RonTheTransportEnthusiast]

Omg! I went on the Marston Vale line on recently too! As there was a train fault that day, so there was a 1-2 hourly service!

[@jayzo]

Kempston Hardwick is the station used in "A Perfect Misunderstanding" one of the Driver training videos. I thought the signal and level crossing looked familiar

[@TrainsWithEthan]

Pointless journey idea: Gillingham (in Medway) to Gillingham

[@Steggs]

It's not a railway without an awry day! (Mystic foreshadowing there!)

[@trolex3965]

Watching this video reminded me of my great nan, who used to live in stewartby and now lives in Kempston a town just outside of Bedford and I recognised many roads in this video.

[@thetrainguy4797]

‘’ the train is cancelled due to signaling failure’’ more like bored failure 😂😂

[@trainman86trainstramsandmore]

0:31 10/10 interior deign with the seat blocking the door there

[@CrazyOnTrains]

I saw the Pullman the other day it was beautiful - Great video despite the luck!

[@davejoey]

Enjoyable video as usual Nick, regardless of the problems! I understand your feelings about cancelled trains, as I have had problems myself! I once had a train show on the screen as being delayed and then disappear from the screen without explanation, only for the train to turn up

[@SamsVlogstrainsmore]

Great vlog on the Marston Vale Line Nick. I did the first 5 stations a few weeks ago and I’m glad there was no disruption when I did them.

[@kevinellis8869]

I travelled the line last week using an East Midlands 3in7 Rover ticket, most of the stations are in the middle of nowhere, my only stop off was Fenny Stratford.

[@tommarshall1660]

Hope you managed to get to your appointment later on. Good video Nick keep them coming.

[@BarryH1963]

Love your content keep up your good work

[@teecefamilykent]

Brilliant video sir!

[@AndrewG1989]

Not to worry Nick. Mistakes do always happen. I still do enjoy watching your videos as I have subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work 😊

[@ReubenAshwell]

Brilliant video Nick, I'm very sorry to hear your plans for the Marston vale line went out of the window, at least you got out of the area and wern't stranded there for ages (I've heard LNWR aren't always the best at helping passengers out of disruption). Nice to see the Pullman at Bedford though.

[@Midlandtransportation]

Nice video, Nick lets just say this is the new snow hill lines!

[@TransportFan2003]

ah the walk from bedford to bedford st johns something i did many times due education being near st johns

[@gregorypizzini]

I really enjoyed this video. The high of seeing the Pullman and the low of cancellation. Finally the befuddlement of a train, when it wasn't supposed to be, and the resignation of the ending. Well done, enjoy your lemonade, I did…...

[@oldtechnobodycaresabout]

Did you look at any busses from nearby to kempston hardwick?

[@Sim0nTrains]

That the luck on these adventures, sometimes it can go perfect or a load of drama happens. I would say it wasn't a waste of a trip but it does suck that it was cut short, great video.

[@Welshy1717]

I ventured to Bedford on saturday.... it was the temporary St Pancras, end of the line. All the Intercitys finished up there. it was crazy day for travelling 50 minute journey to london became a 2 hour chug

[@MatiiCripps]

I wasn’t expecting to see you upload a video in my local area! The 65p tickets into bedford have been a blessing at the moment… when the trains are running 😂 Let me know if you’re ever in the area again, more than happy to lend a hand filming and whatnot if needed

[@pinderclips5642]

It's frustrating when there is an issue, but at least you got to visit a couple of the stations. The village of Strwartby is worth a visit if you visit the area again. It has a nice town hall, although very little is left of the old brickworks now

[@Farleigh1050]

inearly got stuck in ridgmont for 2 hours, but actually, i just about got on a train ages ago qhich out me 10 minutes forward for the whole trip and was able to get in a train, even though it went in the wrong direction, it didnt matter because i was going to ginto bedford then back to bletchley anyway but i just couldnt do the trip to Bedford

[@Zuuu40]

More videos like these please

[@Thornaby37]

The Marston Vale line has gone back to using proper trains (instead of all that Vivarail nonsense) and they still manage to pull a TPE

[@callumltfc]

a Bedfordshire local here nick you could have walked down the road to catch the 42 to Flitwick or into Bedford 😊

[@phildaly3561]

Marston Vale line really can't seem to catch a break. Whether its other TOC cast-offs breaking down or the ill-fated Vivarail 230s, there always seems to be something stopping it operating as it should.

[@ftrln4]

Hey Nick, have you done the Mansfield & Pinxton Railway yet?

[@simoncurl4504]

Still enjoyable no matter what. Any day out can turn into an adventure that wasn't foreseen, such is life. Thanks for showing that the so called ' mundane' is in fact very interesting, ie obscure stations and EMU/DMU sets.

[@The_Wicked_Storm]

Fun fact: one time did norway singaling on the railway fail so Norway shutdown the railway for like 2-4 hours

[@JBFlytography]

Are you planning on coming to the Leven branch when it opens on 1st of June?

[@chriskrebill1842]

LOOK AT ALL THOSE PULLMAN CARS! 😍😍😍😍

[@jamez6398]

I hate spring. Where I live, in spring, it alternates between being blindingly sunny and boiling hot, and being extremely bitterly cold, freezing, windy, and hailstones, if you wear warm clothes you'll be overheated half the time if you wear cooler clothes you'll be freezing cold half the time, sometimes it has a bitterly icy cold feezing wind that nearly blows you into traffic and boiling hot sun rays so you feel hot and cold at the same time. I hate spring. Probably my least favourite season. Then again it never snows in winter here, so winters aren't that bad if I live somewhere that had blizzards in winter like Oslo or Chicago or somewhere that has 40 degree summers like Texas, Spain, Greece, or southern Italy, I'd probably have a different opinion...

[@Farleigh1050]

I noticed you went to Bedford via EMR. For me, it was really expensive via Bedford. I went in LNWR via Bletchley and it was £34.50, no railcard, return (London Terminals > Bletchley via WMT + Marston Vale Line discount ticket), with 2 people, with the £1 discount, which is cheap (for me) By the way, tickets gonback to normal on the 19th of May

[@jasongurr]

Living in Bedford I can tell you know you went the long way to St Johns station. Also they are cancelling trains almost every day!

[@Spacebug111]

this is my local line, every day i cycle to school i normally get stopped by a train

[@chrisgironde6669]

Went to School in Bedford back in 70s

[@blueberry_dino4675]

Kempston Hardwick, is there the new Universal studios will be going.

[@WezzRail]

Atleast you can claim delay repay, I can't complain when I get stuck as I get staff travel.. I've just gotta suck it up lol

[@abbe_drengen_dk]

Hope the next video does not go wrong

Was that an Ex northern 150 unit u were on

9:50 - man saw a runaway bride

[@danielhanley-thurkettle8904]

I hope you can do this video I hope there's no cancellations on the next time when you go there

[@michellebell5092]

How about a St John’s point to point - St John’s near Lewisham, to St John’s Wood to Bedford St John’s. Any other St Johns I’ve missed?

[@tonygrinney7115]

Hi Nick! Cancellation and delay! That's always the risk with train travel. Sorry it slightly messed up your video.

Surprise train. Great! You cannot script that.

[@MrCobo04]

It happens. Bus/train,plane been there all too often. At least a train appeared for you

[@ianmcmurdy1700]

It's a shame to get stuck at Kempston Hardwick, even more of a shame that I live 10 minutes walk away. I could have given you a lift! The park is also where I walk the dog!

[@SuliPlayz5264]

oh dear

Those trains look like old northern trains

[@LiftFan]

Try getting the tickets with a Priv card, 25p!

Murphy's law applies!

[@madbanana2495]

My train got cancelled this morning from bletchley to Bedford. I was gonna do a trains at Bedford. However due to the cancellation, I instead did trains at bletchley.

[@robinedwards598]

Nothing changes on this line. Oh… but wait , East-West , West-East Railway is coming. Problems solved. Dream On.

[@Astronomy_Arcade]

*typical British railways*

[@sunshiney_Sonnenschein]

0:32 this seat is the real failiure here. Either you have to squeeze past it or people squeeze past you if you sit on it. Who thought of putting it there? Edit: That's why I only do those things when I have nothing else planned that day. Either life or rail tour, mixing them is not good.

Hi

[@trashtreasureandtrains2756]

Dear Nick, I have taken a liking in to Natts 3D printed train paraphernalia, and wonder if she could commission me a phone case for my Samsung Galaxy A40 Smartphone? I would like it to be of a TFL moquette fabric. Which ones does she do? I preference would be the 2005 “Tube Lines” moquette which comprises of abstract squares in a hollow blue background. Said moquette was applied to the 1995TS, 1996TS and 1973TS between 2005 and 2019. All the Best. RacsoMoquette.

Not a bad gig this KZbining lark. If just half of your subscribers joined and pay 2.99 a month. So 10,000 x 2.99 x 12 months £358,800. Is that right or have a calculated wrong...
