    What better way to beat the boredom of self-isolation than to watch the whole series again from start to finish...

      watching this series in quarantine made me realize that i was in a relationship that wasn't gonna work out cause she saw one video and said 'eh i wouldn't want to do something like that'

      Thing is it only takes about 4 hours to do
      What to do next
      Ah yes
      *all the stations Ireland*
      Oh that takes about 2 hours
      What next
      *all the stations Isle of Man*
      What next
      Geoff Marshall Least Used Series
      Enough boredom busters for about 2/3 days

    I love when Geoff waves at the driver and is so happy when they wave back. It just shows that bit of child still in him. Great video Geoff!!!
    Also, TH-cam thinks that Geoff isn't a name.

    Dear Vicki & Geoff,
    I was disappointed to see there was insufficient tea in this episode. I do hope to see this rectified in future videos, along with an on screen tea counter, naturally.

    So glad this was uploaded when it was! Currently quarter past 4 in the morning here in Wisconsin, I'm still up writing a college research paper that's due in roughly 8 hours, and going through a bad case of "writer's block"... perfect thing to let my mind wander for a bit. Thanks!

      @VicodinElmo 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    • @Frostie3672
      @Frostie3672 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You should see it at the height of summer, pulling into St. Ives Station and the platform is so packed that when the doors open all the idiots on the platform just stand there waiting for everyone to get off, well we would if we had space to exit the train ffs lol

    • @AlisonBryen
      @AlisonBryen 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'd advise you to go outside of the main holidays season. The place is murder during the summer. We usually go in June after Whitsun week but before the schools break up for the 6 weeks holiday.

    Just started to watch this adventure you've both had and am looking forward to check out all the footage.
    In the early nineties I took a mate, who lives in the UK, across the whole length and breadth of the Netherlands by train in one day.
    Obviously not all of the stations, but we hade a lot off fun. From Rotterdam at breakfast, along Breda, Eindhoven, Maastricht for lunch, Venlo, Nijmegen, Arnhem, Zwolle, Groningen, Leeuwarden, Amersfoort, Amsterdam for diner , The Hague and back in to Rotterdam ending with a pint in the pub.

  • @aureaphilos
    @aureaphilos 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Came here from The Tim Traveler's channel.
    Geoff's enthusiasm at getting a wave from the engineer reminded me of a childhood memory of waving to the weekly freight train , and having it STOP for me and my friends. Turns out the line was being decommissioned, and this was the last run . The engineer invited us to come aboard and ride to the next road crossing! It was a long mile's walk back, but 8 year old Me has never forgotten that day, and I'm now 63. Ah, those carefree 1960s!!

    I liked the scene at around 7:20 or so when you could see Vicky carrying the heavy backpack and the camera and Geoff was just wandering around with his hands in his pockets :D
    Way to go and good luck on your journey!

    Wow. Great stuff, will be following you each day.Many happy memories of the St Erth/St Ives branch. I used to ride up front when I was a kid and there was just a glass door between the driver and the passengers.

  • @Thoomas2001
    @Thoomas2001 7 ปีที่แล้ว +37

    Very good video! I do think it'd be a good idea to show a list at the end of the video of what stations were visited that day.

    • @djfun
      @djfun 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I like that idea! Maybe even show them on a map. I know the map on the website exists but it would feel like a more complete documentary to me if such an overview was in the video itself.

    • @Thoomas2001
      @Thoomas2001 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Geoff Marshall I know what you mean, and that's a good way of doing it. It's a bit unclear if you don't show of all the stations you stopped at to me, though. Does the map say when you visited it?

  • @grenfellroad8394
    @grenfellroad8394 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Geoff and Vicki, when you do Maidenhead to Marlow, the driver and guard will use a token and train staff that still has the key on the end, like the one you've seen for St Ives. Excellent so far, good luck for the rest of the challenge. Tim

    Nice beginning of your long journey.
    And by the way, the St. Ives riddle was going in my head, when I saw the Instagram post. And since Die Hard With Avengence is one of my factories, the St Ives riddle was easy. The narrator of the riddle is the only one going. And then I have Samuel L Jacksons voice in my head. Haha

    As a British expat, watching these is just about the first thing that has made me stop and think about my move away from the UK. These two are/were fun to watch and I have seen places I didn't know existed. Still waiting to see the Chingford line and Bures/Mt Bures episodes. And the one where Vicki isn't happy with Geoff (Peterborough?). Keep it up and I look forward to whatever you two do next.,

  • @marthaanderson2656

      @bobshop 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      CowsMakeMooSound there is a pub in the real (haha) st Ives called...... the seven wives, I was going to open a pub next door called "each wife had seven sacks" but I thought better of it!

    • @TheNgandrew
      @TheNgandrew 7 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      That is the correct answer. However, it is not necessarily the only logically correct answer, as it is possible to meet someone when you're going somewhere and for them to be travelling to the same place, as you might be going at different speeds.
      Maybe I have too much thought into this over the years, and possibly I need to get out more.

      CowsMakeMooSound that is the usual anawer, but the rhyme doesn't mention where the man and his wifes were going. They could also have be going to St Ives as well.
