An exciting ride through beautiful country.
Tim, thank you another of your beautiful journeys.
Today you showed me aspects and views of that line, I have never seen before, such as @05:26 'Llangollen Goods Junction signal box' & @20:55, around Deeside Halt.
Also, the position & quality of your external camera illustrated the temerity of the original builders in planning and threading that line through such lush, but demanding countryside.
Well done is also due to those whose more recent volunteers and preservationists, whose labours have maintained the line & infrastructure.
Hello Peter, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride and "yes" a camera on the engine does allow us to see all aspects of the railway, we owe a lot to those who built our railway system and those who look after it today.
Man, Wales is a gorgeous country. Especially the North. I really need to go and visit again, maybe take a ride on an awesome train like this! Thanks for sharing with us, I enjoyed the journey immensely! 😊
.Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride. Wales is a beautiful country and you are spoilt for choice when it comes to heritage railways such as this one 😊.
Tim, what a fantastic film and editing job. Shows the railway off beautifully and a real treat to watch. Fantastic effort from all those involved in the extension to Corwen and good to see the numbers awaiting the train's arrival there.
Hi Rob, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. We owe a big 'thank you' to the band of dedicated volunteers who's dream it was to return trains to this highly scenic railway line, it hasn't been an easy ride, this line is now well and truly on the list of 'must see' Welsh heritage railways.
Very rude adds are a pain get rid of them
Yet another lovely journey Tim. You really are the master when it comes to drivers eye view journeys. This one was particularly good. Thank you for all your hard work and I look forward to the next one. 🥰
Thank you for your kind comment, it is appreciated.
Wonderful trip on a magical steam train. Visited Llangollen years ago.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. The railway has now reached its intended destination making it a railway from somewhere to somewhere, rather than just ending in the middle of nowhere. It's well worth visiting again if you are in the area.
Visited that area in mid 60s with my mate, taking his brother to Carrog, to attend Preist Training College. Did not know it had a train could have used to visit Langollen. Visited Bala whilst there also, lovely area.
A very picturesque and calming video to watch. Thanks for the labour involved with making it. Looking forward to the next. Cheers mate! 🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it 😊.
If you are a person who enjoys slow train rides through the Welsh countryside, with miles and miles of rolling meadows and luscious greenery, then this video is made for you. I thoroughly enjoyed this video and I had to watch it two times to soak in this ride.
Tim, thank you so much for another excellent production of yours. Your videos are absolutely pieces of exceptional mastery that make a person crave for more and more. Again, thank you very much for providing me enjoyment.
Indeed! This is gorgeous country...thank you for this video !!!
Thank you for your kind comment, it is appreciated.
Beautiful country side ! I must visit some day
@@davidlockley2635 It is a pretty part of the world and you can be sure of a warm welcome. I hope you do get there, I think you'll really enjoy your visit.
For someone who lives in Canada, this is almost better than being there! Happy memories. A big thank you.
Hello, Canada is a beautiful country on a grand scale whereas everything is a little smaller in Wales plus there are the old buildings and the rich history which comes over to some extent in this video. I'm glad you enjoyed the ride.
Thank you for this! It's beautiful! 🙂
Excellent, thank you for showing this
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
Pogodę mamy taką samą tylko starych pociągów brak. Dziękuję, pozdrawiam.😀
Dziękuję, cieszę się, że film Ci się spodobał.
Quite impressive, in especially the sound.
Thank you for sharing !
Best wishes
Dirk
Thank you, it's nice to know you enjoyed it 😊.
Very relaxing watch, nicely done.
God bless Wales and Welsh!!! Such a beautifull Wales!!!
I'll second that 😊.
Another good one, Tim. I almost rode on that once some years ago, but ran out of time. Watching this was the next best thing. Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed the ride, finding enough time to do everything is an impossible task. Cheers. Tim.
Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful journey !
Thank you, it's nice to know you enjoyed it.
I did the run from Paddington, Ruabon, Llangollen, then on to Dolgellau back in 1958.and remembered a lot of the track through the hills. This was a lovely reminder of those days. I had a week in Dolgellau, the a week in Bonwm, which had its own halt a couple of miles past Corwen, and remember signalling the driver to stop. Happt memories, so thank you Tim.
Thanks for sharing your memories, it must have been a wonderful experience to ride the full length of the original line, by the time I saw the route, trains had ceased to run and the demolition team were already at work.
I didn't think you were as close to Llangollen as I am. Sorry I can't watch it all, Strictly Come Dancing awaits. Thanks for the Drvier's Eye View. There are very few steamies on the railway now. 3802 is still in reconstruction stage, 80072 needs help, new-build Small Prairie Tank Engine is due to steam sometime, and 7754 has returned to traffic.
Este rio, estas paisagens, a chuva se aproximando, tudo de bom. Parabéns Tim, vídeo lindo.
some of my most remembered events from my early childhood were train journeys, normally to the coast, or just standing on a bridge as the train passed under it. the sounds that the rails made, and the smell of the smoke. in some ways the train was cleaner and less polluting, than the thousands of cars, that have replaced them. even electric trains produce toxic waste. sometimes newer isn't better
They are lovely memories to have, I lived most of my life near various railway lines along England's South Coast, I use to drop off to sleep to the sound of trains being remarshalled at Chichester goods yard, most of the yard has been lifted now, the sound of fly shunted waggons banging into the rest of the train and loose couple freight trains starting are just childhood memories. Today’s environmentally conscious youngsters seem to be unaware that most of what they see emitted from a steam locomotive chimney is harmless steam. Happy memories 😊.
A thoroughly enjoyable ride. Very good camera and camera mounting, considering the jolting and vibration there must be on the bufferbeam
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. The GoPro cameras are getting better allthe time.
Thanks for that, well done.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
Really awesome Tim. Never been all the way and was a great experience, Thanks a lot.
Hello Keith, as always it's nice to hear from you. I was saddened to hear that Lady June had passed on, my heart goes out to you. My parents had a holiday cottage in North Wales, so I was lucky enough to see the railway grow from little more than occasional trains running in the confines of Llangollen station to the first class visitor attraction it is today. The staff and volunteers are really friendly, if you get a chance to drop in, I think you'll find a trip on the completed railway a rewarding experience. All the best. Tim 😊.
Hi Tim Wales always reminds me of that long place name there. NZ has one too. As a kid in NZ there was a song about that place and they sang the name. I can still remember the name and say it. Well say no more!!! Cheers excellent look forward to all your Videos Cheers
Great cabride 👍🏻
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it 😊.
Always impressive here in Wales: this beautiful green of the landscape. Green, green, green in all shades. Wonderful - wunderbar.
Hi Tim, as the locomotive sounds, it must be working very hard. What is the traveling speed of this train? Many greetings from Germany.
Hello Josef, Wales is a very scenic country and "yes" the locomotive was working hard, the maximum permitted speed on this railway is 25 mph (40 kph). Best wishes from the UK.
@@Timsvideochannel1 👍
Nice video, nice scenery, nice resolution. A good one to watch whilst on the phone. Thanks, Ronn
Thank you, I'm pleased you found a good use for this video 😉.
Weve done this ride many times, over the years Tim, and youve done it justice and a new perspective for us 👍👍Well done and Thanks 😊😊😡😡{The Santa specials are very good too !)
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video, the staff and volunteers have done a wonderful job preserving this railway for us all to enjoy today. I hope the Santa Specials are a massive successes, I'd ride one if I was in the area when they are running.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Hi Tim, thanks for your kind reply, and when our families were younger, we of course, could only travel to Carrog , and not the recently opened Carrog to Corwen extension so especial thanks for that " extra" first look 😊
Best Regards, Ian
Que maravilla, que hermoso, no tengo palabras, que emocion me invaden recuerdos de mi niñez, gracias por esta joyita ❤
Gracias, disfruté leyendo tu comentario y estoy de acuerdo en que viajar en este tren es un maravilloso viaje al pasado hasta los días de la infancia cuando los niños saludaban al conductor y él hacía sonar su silbato y les devolvía el saludo 🙂.
Das war eine schöne und entspannte Fahrt. Danke für's Mitnehmen und bis zum nächsten Mal☺👍
Vielen Dank für Ihren freundlichen Kommentar 😊.
Dad drove a train on this line, I love it
Did you get to ride with your Dad? I've seen this railway grow from nothing to the wonderful tourist attraction that it is today. The people who made it happen are awesome 😊.
@@Timsvideochannel1 sadly not, but it is a wonderful railway indeed
My Grandfather Worked on Restoring one of these carriages doing the carpentry!
I am grateful to your grandfather, along with all the other the volunteers, because without them, we wouldn't have the wonderful preservation scene we have today.
Splendid ride !!👌👍
I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride.
What a trimendous video l have thurly enjoyed it, with all luvly green 🌲 trees & hedges, l would really love to see the whole video in the autumn, well what a coulerful scene that would be with all the different colours, ... but thanks to everyone who has made this great video.
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed it, Llangollen is a beautiful town with a rich transport history including the railway, the canal and the A5 road (built under the watchful eye of Thomas Telford). The area is stunning in late autumn, if I get the opportunity I'd like to repeat this video in early November, next year. The Staff and volunteers have done a wonderful job in restoring this railway for us all to enjoy, without their dedication this video would not have been possible. I’ll like to join you in saying a “big thank you” to all those responsible for make this trip possible.
Thank you. I have been on this line. Beautiful. Do go if you are in North East Wales, well worth it.
I'd like to echo your call for people to visit this railway if they are in the locality.
Thats my cottage on the left. perfect place with a nice view and get to see the steam train go by🙂
There aren't many cottages on the left, the one at 40:40 has a wonderful view of the railway. You live in a nice part of the world, it must nice to watch the trains pass by.
Fabulous Train Journey fully enjoyed the horn was the most cutest 🤩😍
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride, especially the cute locomotive whistle 😊.
its like going back in time
To a time when life was a lot less complicated.
OH Tim, You got this one JUST right. 👍👍👍👍 Lots of chugging from the engine and some great views from the back as well as the front. You must have got a camera man to ride the back. Well maybe you got a second camera. Anyway I think it's one of your best videos. Now lets try the same set up for the sound of the engine on a narrow gauge road.👍👍👍👍🍺🍻
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed this video. I used two cameras to give views from both a forward and passengers view point. I recently filmed a number of Welsh narrow gauge railways using a similar camera setup, hopefully I will find time to edit and upload some of them over the coming months 😊.
Hi Tim! Beautiful landscape and the steam locomotive works perfectly, I enjoyed it 👍. Last weekend I have sended you a mail and I hope you has read it. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦🇹.
Hello Hans, I will look for your Email, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I am just finishing my last full day in New Zealand before starting a 36 hour trip back home. Cheers. Tim.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Have a good trip to the sweet home, Tim. I hope you becomes a good beer 🍺 in the ✈️heaven tractor✈️, grins. Best regards from the Mühlviertel 🍻🇦🇹.
@@johannperaus6890 Thank you, I'll have a beer or two on the way home 😊.
Very nice video. Great landscape with picturesque buildings. You could get the impression that in the next moment Miss Marple will come scurrying around the corner and senses some mischief... 😁 Thx alot and greets from Hamburg/ Germany
Hello, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video, Wales is a beautiful country and Miss Marple is one of my favourite TV detectives, it 's easy to imagine her stepping off the train at Berwyn to be escorted to another crime scene. Best wishes from West Sussex 😊.
To the comment before this..... just relax because if all you have to fuss about is an add at the 45 min mark you are a lucky person.
Perhaps watch the video again with a happy positive attitude that you at least got the chance to see it.
Hi, thanks for your sensible and realistic comment. I cut the number of ads to the minimum I can without causing the TH-cam algorithm to stop recommending my videos. Without the ads to finance You Tube and it's creators, people would either have to pay to watch it or loose it. The people who complain the loudest are often those who expect the world on a stick without having to contribute a single penny.
Foarte frumos!❤
Multumesc, ma bucur ca ti-a placut videoclipul.
There used to be a passing loop at Deeside.Has that Gone?Wonderful video.Thanks.Subscribed.
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the video, there used to be a run round loop at Deeside between 1990 to 1992 when it was the limit of passenger working until Glyndyfrdwy opened to traffic in 1992, it’s not required anymore, hence why most of it has been lifted. Thanks for subscribing, I hope you find more videos of interest on this channel.
Thanks Tim.I was invited into the signal box early 2000 and filmed some trains crossing.there was a small platform on the same side as the box.@@Timsvideochannel1
@@tambarum You were fortunate to be invited into the signal box. I took a photograph at Deeside in which panier tank No.7754 is passing the train I was travelling in, it's mounted in a frame and displayed above my model railway, it must have been taken in the late 90's.
Excellent stuff, good use of land at Corwen with island platforms and will the Box be a working box in time ? Well done and thanks.
Hi, the guys at the Llangollen Railway have done an wonderful job in returning steam trains to Corwen. I didn't know the answer to your signal box question, so I looked on the internet and this was the best answer I found - "The signal box has not yet been commissioned and finishing the signalling at Corwen has still to be completed ... Services between Corwen and Carrog are currently worked on a one engine in steam principle". If anyone can add to or correct the story, we'd like to hear from you.
Hello my friend, like
Thank you 😊.
Sad to see the state of Deeside - Torn up and abandoned.
I looked back through my photos and found one of favourites from the time when Deeside was the end of the line with a run round loop.
Nice no doubt
Brilliant video, but I'm a bit baffled as to why the driver ignored all the sound whistle sign's, has he not read up on his rule book, those signs are there for a reason,
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
He does whistle, it's not always very clear over the ambient noise
I thought the same thing, I did a driver experience day a few years ago and they insisted on blowing the whistle wherever there was a crossing.
@@AndreiTupolev seven signs for sound whistle, how many times did you hear his whistle ?,
He tended to blow the whistle as soon as the sign came into view rather than when we passed it, listen carefull. An example: 20:53 23:00 23:48

Has Deeside Halt been permanently closed, I see the passing line has been removed! Where do trains pass now?
Hi, Deeside was a run round loop when the railway terminated there, it remained a passing loop after the line was extended to Carrog, when the line was extended to Corwen with passing places at Carrog and Glyndyfrdwy the passing loop was no longer required and has now been partially removed.
So I've looked on Google maps and the section after Carrog didn't exist before 2022, and it looks like they only just restored the tracks and train station at Corwen, is that right?
Are there plans to go even further south-west along the original tracks toward Cynwyd or even all the way to Bala?
Hi, the extension from Carrog to Corwen is a recent addition to the line allowing trains to run for 10 miles through the scenic Dee Valley connecting Llangollen to Corwen. At one time there was talk of further extensions towards the mainline network at Ruabon, but I think any such plans have been shelved, as for Bala, whilst it's something many would love to see, I don't think it's a practical proposition at the moment, the railway's main objective is to consolidate on its current achievements and make sure it secures it's future for the next generation to enjoy.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Understandable, thank you!
Pullman coaches were far superior, complete with a meal and toilets. if you do that trip nowadays its beyond most peoples price range. when i was a kid, everybody, could afford the trip, at least twice a year
I lived on the South Coast, train rides were "Going up North", although most journeys were done by car or coach, Birkenhead was the usual destination, Great Western locomotives in mostly LMS territory. I remember the old Wirral underground trains and seeing one of the last 9F's a Chester station, I'm glad I got to see the last of steam on BR.
I want to go to Wales but I would never be able to pronounce the place names.
You wouldn't be the only person who has trouble pronouncing Welsh place names, but don't let that stop you visiting, it's a beautiful country.
These Welsh place names would have your tongue so tightly tied up in knots, it'd take a month to untie it! LOL😁
