Had the pleasure of travelling on EMR Meridians between Sheffield and Leicester and back recently. So, it was nice to see you on one as it reminded me of a nice weekend away. Great vid, G. 😊
G - you are getting really good at these vlogs! I enjoyed this one with the extra Halloween bits - very creative. The knicker monster - well that's just the washing basket in our house, assuming the girls manage to actually get them in the basket. The 170's are comfortable trains when they're not rammed!
Not to alarm you, but during your walk from Whatstandwell and on the first 158, I think some really big spiders jumped on your head! 😆 Joke's on me though; when you said "I'm off to say hello to Burton Joyce", I completely misheard/misunderstood and thought you were visiting some people named Bert & Joyce.
So much familiarity with this vid. Although I’ve never caught the train at Burton Joyce, I’m often walk my dog nearby and along the path next to the line. I also have family there and for many years drove a bus route through the village. Also Matt Horne’s home town. Recently my wife had the misfortune of travelling to Derby from St Pancras after her train from Kings X to Grantham got cancelled. I ended up fetching the car from Grantham the next day after getting the train from Carlton to Notts then transferring to a Grantham service. Took the aforementioned dog with me and she had a lovely time 😂 When I was a kid my dad worked for British Rail and as such we had family rail passes. Several times per year we’d depart Beeston (local station for us) and go London, Skegvegas, Edinburgh and even a couple of times into France. A reciprocating deal with SNCF saw us pay only port fees. Some trips were from Derby because we could park the car at my Dads work (BREL for those in the know). I’m desperate to take my daughter interrailing but the wife is having none of it. She may come home to a note on the kitchen counter one day though. Whatstandwell lays claim to Ellen MacArthur. Worth a visit on that basis.
What a wonderful video G loves train remembering your routes First train 7, 24 from Derby get off at What'sstandwell you walk to Cromford station then you get off at Beeston then down to east midlands parkway off to Leicester then a rail coach to Grantham then to Nottingham then Burton Joyce the River Trent looks lovely then finally you go to Tootbury and Hatton. yes keep the lovely videos coming G
I am a student at Derby and absolutely love it. The beauty of it is amazing and I honestly love walking around the centre in the early morning because its such a beautiful city.
Great vlog, G! I enjoyed this! I sense spooky vibes with halloween only being a week away! I saw you got to ride a Former ScotRail 170 in the beginning there which was nice to see! I've also got to say I like the 158 EMR interior! Gotta try them out soon! Out of the Turbostars, I of course prefer my ScotRail 170/4's that were built 2004-2005!
@@GLovesTrains Yep! Some of the EMR 170/4's came from ScotRail before their interior was updated to ScotRail's current look. Some of them also came from Southern and were converted from 171's.
Fun video! I think I was at Leicester Station on the same morning but going in the opposite direction. I was a bit disappointed that you caught the replacement bus to Grantham instead of just changing at Sleaford. Maybe it would have taken too long.
i really enjoyed watching this as always i pit stopped & Derby & Leicester on my way home from Leeds last year & both are great for trainspotting & id love to do them both again in the future including Leicester which id love to visit one day ie visit the city & id love to do Peterborough one day as it looks like an awesome station to film trains & same for Grantham & i def love to spend a week on the EMR network in the future as i dont get to travel with EMR very much & is an operator that i keep neglecting maby an idea for next year & im loving all the other stations too brilliant vlog keep up the awesome work
trentbarton bus driver here, if you want unlimited travel across the whole of Derbyshire by train and bus I suggest doing the Derbyshire Wayfarer +train. Nice to see you visited the Derwent valley (the place I call home)!
Now then, as you're exploring "our neck of the woods" you'll have to let me know when you get brave a venture up the Robin hood line (Nottingham - Worksop). A hot brew and biscuits will be ready for you. Also, that building on the opposite platform at Cromford is famous for being used on the album sleeve for What's the story morning glory by Oasis back in 1995.
4:42 Cromford station has a connection to The Wigan. Oasis used the station for the cover shot of the single Some Might Say and Brian Cannon, the sleeve designer, is from The Wigan. There you go G, proper geek fact 🤣
Happy Halloween GLovesTrains. I have heard that East Midlands is cursed but it’s really not that cursed and there are so many places to visit. Which isn’t even that scary at all. But still Happy Halloween. 😊
One of your best ever….love the special effects. Shame it’s becoming a 5 day week railway, they excel at running rail replacement buses rather than trains. A railway out of control. 🚂🚴♂️👣🇺🇦
The first train you were on,, a class 170, actually looked like it has the old ScotRail interior livery..good fun video and great mix of stations and trains, thank you 😊
Great video "G" It might just be me but your panning shot when you were stood in the vestibule of the meridian 222022 looked like you were on the set of some Star Trek Franchise 🤔The toilet would deffo double for a Turbo Lift. 😉🤣👍.
Nice vid G! You should pay a visit to heritage steam railways via mainline stations such as these. Loughborough for the Great Central Railway Kidderminster for the Severn Valley Railway Cheltenham Spa for the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway Manchester Piccadilly then tram to Bury for the East Lancashire Railway Peterborough for the Nene Valley Railway Sheringham for the North Norfolk Railway East Grinstead for the Bluebell Railway Alton for the Mid Hants Railway Duffeld for the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway Matlock for Peak Rail Didcot Parkway for Didcot Railway Centre Grosmont for the North Yorkshire Moors Railway Keighley for the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway Porthmadog for the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways And many more! 😊
Brilliant video G, nice to see you've been having an adventure around my region and even been down to my local station of Leicester. I've still not done the East Midlands day ranger yet. And that knicker monster causing trouble down these parts as well lol. 🤣
Happy Halloween 🦇 🎃 I think I've seen that power station when I passed through it at one point I think I've been on that service to Leicester as well I might be wrong, are they the trains what has a seat near one of the doors There actually isn't any food to talk about 😄
They’ve been trying to rebuild it for at least 40 years. In about 1961 my father took me on the Blue Pullman from London St. Pancras to Manchester to Manchester Central. I can only remember two things about it, the car window winding style handle to wind the window blind up and down, and the similar style of the station buildings at each end. I would have been four at the time.
At the start of the video I thought you were going to get soaked in the rain (probably catch a cold too), minimal protection etc, by the end you were bathed in sunlight. Lucky you!
Thank god you went on Saturday...... EMR was a nightmare on the Friday, I had a little ride to East Midlands Parkway. And all trains to Nottingham was being cancelled due to Signal failure at Loughborough. 06:30 mins ...... there it is, I was there the day before you 🤣 the power station, thats what I wanted to see. You didnt walk down to Redhill Marina then.
One sentence: Southwestern Railway beats East Midlands at all costs. I’m a south coaster, and I see the Class 450/444 750V DC third rail electric multiple units a lot. ❤🖤 💙❤️ Edit: And of course, nice travel review as always.
What a vlog G hopefully that Knicker monster didn’t catch you 😂😂! Also I have a channel logo waiting to be sent to you what would be the best way to get it to you because I think you’re gonna like it
3:09 onwards with the footsteps and the sound oud rain crackling around was SO lush!! I could listen to that forever, was so cosy :)
I think this vlog is by far the best I have seen. Most entertaining. Thank you from New Zealand
Always good to see an appearance by the Knicker Monster!
Had the pleasure of travelling on EMR Meridians between Sheffield and Leicester and back recently. So, it was nice to see you on one as it reminded me of a nice weekend away. Great vid, G. 😊
Very entertaining again. Those knicker monsters are everywhere at this time of year..Take care x
Great video, love the Halloween Octopus on your head 😂. Always amazed how you fit so much into one day!
Intro was bonkers and I loved it. 😂

Damn G if l had known you were in Derby(my home town) l could? have seen you. 😊
Fantastic vlog G great to see you travelling around the east midlands enjoying the great British weather
Thanks Stuart 😀
I am a student at Derby and absolutely love it. The beauty of it is amazing and I honestly love walking around the centre in the early morning because its such a beautiful city.
Amazing! I definitely wanna come see it in the daylight 😀
This is so funny. Happy Halloween GLoves. 😄
What a hoot - love it!!! I actually wondered who was opening the video until I saw that customary swagger.
I live in the East Midlands, near Wellingborough!
Welcome to my home town Derby
Thanks 😀
@@GLovesTrains your welcome
Nice to see you visit my home city of Leicester
Scary one Gloves.......SCARY GOOD that is

Great video as usual G! I remember Jen visiting Matlock and walking through that very tunnel on the canal
Thanks! I do watch AsdaOTM's videos, must have forgot that bit 😂

I love how the God awful stain on the Leicester landscape managed to peek in the camera. I hate that blue building 😂
Lovely Video About East Midlands Day Ranger GLove
We are from the East Midlands and proud of it
Awesome video g from Alan in Lowestoft ❤😊
Now then, as you're exploring "our neck of the woods" you'll have to let me know when you get brave a venture up the Robin hood line (Nottingham - Worksop).

There's a new staggered platform at Derriaghy. There are 39 steps up to it, but no flowing water, unfortunately.
Happy Halloween GLovesTrains. I have heard that East Midlands is cursed but it’s really not that cursed and there are so many places to visit. Which isn’t even that scary at all. But still Happy Halloween. 😊

Jim Bowen comedian and he of Bullseye fame lived in a building that was once a station house!!
Oh really... cool!!
The first train you were on,, a class 170, actually looked like it has the old ScotRail interior livery..good fun video and great mix of stations and trains, thank you 😊
Whatstandwell Station is definitely a Railway Children looking Station, I expected to see Bernard Cribbins step out and ask to see your ticket, 😂😂😂
Great video "G" It might just be me but your panning shot when you were stood in the vestibule of the meridian 222022 looked like you were on the set of some Star Trek Franchise 🤔The toilet would deffo double for a Turbo Lift. 😉🤣👍.

At one time you could get a train from Derby to Matlock then Manchester this line closed in 1970 Matlock to Manchester they are trying to open it up
They’ve been trying to rebuild it for at least 40 years.
