Unfortunately we only had 2 hours in Hereford due to train times so we had to focus on visiting the cathedral. I’ll definitely have to go back for the model shop and other places!
That was an excellent series! Looking forward to your next expedition. Back in the 90s, when I lived in a station house in North Wales, a couple of us decided to discover where are ‘local’, Shrewsbury train went after that. Central Trains did an occasional ‘£10 Anywhere on the network’ ticket. Turned out our train became the Shrewsbury to New Street service before changing character again and going forward to Grimsby. The return journey required changes at Lincoln, New Street and Shrewsbury where we finally arrived over two hours late and the signal boxes on the last sector had closed. (This was before centralised radio signalling on the mid-Wales lines.) Two taxis (the service divided at Mach) took us the final leg after which I decided that if I ever travelled on a train again it would be too soon. Fortunately, my view changed when I went to work in Spain for several years. The problem with UK trains seems to be that they’re too expensive for what they offer and are basically unreliable, which is a shame. I must add that I admire your stamina, still being conscious after that voyage.
Great stuff, Rory. The formal script is well crafted and the shots long enough to capture a sense of the cathedral's beauty while the straight-to-camera pieces are personal and fluent. Pity about the weather, but it doesn't spoil a superior YT presentation. Look forward to what comes next.
Hereford Cathedral also houses a Magna Carta from 1217, one of only 4 in existence from that year, it's also the only Magna Carta with it's King's Writ (A sort of instruction manual on how to use the MC) from 1215 still with it. It's also the best preserved of the Magna Carta's which is why it is normally the one they send on World tours, in 2015 it visited 3 continents including China and the USA.
Rory, totally outstanding. My dad mentioned on Uncle Dave's post that you should maybe consider media as a profession, couldn't agree more xx Love Kirsty, Glenn and Kerr
Hello rory nice little series i don't know it you mentioned the overall cost of this day out and how you buy the tickets , would be good for trips to add maybe a page with prices food costsand if you use travel cards etc ,keep theses vidéos comming and thank you
Really enjoyed the series Rory, and particularly because I happen to live in Hereford! I've subscribed too, and it looks like I am your 500th, looking forward to more.
It looks as if this is a new project for you, and that, so far at least, you are really enjoying yourself making these travel documentaries. As I originally hail from Peterborough I know Stamford very well and have used the Peterborough to Leicester/Birmingham line may times over the years. I've also had a spell living near Hereford so I also know that city quite well. I will follow your travel exploits as you post new clips and hope that your enjoyment continues. I just hope that it doesn't prove too expensive for you to keep this project going. Sadly train travel is far from cheap in the UK, and even though I benefit from a Disabled Persons Railcard tickets can still be quite expensive - especially if you wish to make use of 1st class, which is always preferable particularly if there is a Dining Car option available on a particular service. Anyway, keep up the good work and I look forward to your next journey.
Can't believe you walked right past the Hereford Model shop without going in - it makes Aladdin's cave look empty.

Thank you so much! I’ve listed costing in the description with railcards etc as well as entrance prices to the cathedral so hopefully that helps :)
Nice going Rory, show us just what we can do by rail with a little effort. Don't forget the Railcards!
230 subs in such short while. Very well done. Keep travelling. Keep posting. Looking forward to the next adventure.
