I wish transport museum volunteers would do more to encourage younger people. I've been part of the Oxford Bus and Morris Motors Museum since 2018 and I recently managed to persuade the man who deals with the insurance to get me insured on the Morris vehicles in the museum, as I'm 22 and the minimum insurance age was 25. Luckily they said that it's possible for me to get insured. However, today when I expressed concern about one of the elderly driver's ability at a recent car rally, the person in question got very offended and said that I couldn't drive (he's never seen me drive before) and that I will never drive the 1955 Morris Oxford (which I love). This came as a shock as he is usually very nice. There are a couple of volunteers in the museum who don't seem to like me because of my age, and after this experience I'm thinking of giving up volunteering if this continues as I don't get treated like an equal. It's a shame as I have always been very keen and enthusiastic about the cars and buses there, but I feel that I might loose that enthusiasm.
You may find this amusing. I was once part owner of a Morris Oxford. It came up for sale in 1970, for the princely sum of £6. For of us clubbed together for £1:50 each. It started and steered very well but had almost non-existent brakes. Also non-existent was tax, MOT, insurance. I never drove it but a friend did, was caught and was discharged from the RAF for being naughty. (We were RAF aircraft apprentices at the time; oops!)
TH-cam showed me your channel here, then by pure chance, I delved in and was blown away, well in the end, you dance! While us seeing around those workshops was all first class, none of it was a patch on watching you, having fun lass! 😊 I.Shane.G. 😊
What a lovely video, no nice to hear your mum add additional information. Real craftsmanship and I think he is right the 3rd class carriage was much better than modern 1st class today Looks like a fun day out, and also some time for tap dancing
What a great vid Matilda, your dancing was brilliant as it always is and the trains too. What a great colour on the saddle tank, my favourite colour that light blue .
I was there earlier this year with R.C.T.S. Furness, Lakes & Lune. We were able to get a guided tour walking along the track including seeing the work in progress on the signal box
A great day out for you and your friends from SELFA! 😊 I think the sumptuous 1st class carriage would be well out of reach for the average traveller! But the 3rd class wasn't too bad either! A very sensitive restoration. Another great video Matilda. 😊😊
@@matildariverwaldennews watching train videos actual train's or train layouts, books or magazines no matter how old they might be you can gather tons of ideas for your own layouts you can try from time to time. Nothing on my layout is glued down on r permanently anything can be changed out even my lighting in the buildings and street lights, that way nothing gets destroyed, even the track. When you are disabled living on a limited income each month you just about have to. Many kites I have or make are 50, to 70 years old from countless manufacturers they don't make anyone.
Great video and your enthusiasm is so infectious. One observation, which I challenge you to put to a modern day coach builder: In my humble opinion (and life experience) even the old 3rd class carriages were MUCH more comfortable than anything I've been in on more modern trains. This applies to mainline expresses (and I travelled 1st class from Carlisle to London a few years back), local trains and London Underground - they all have overly hard seats. Anyway, keep up the amazingly good work on these vids!
Great video , i have been to this one a few years ago and got a few nice pics , love your dance and the dudes in the background just working at the same time ;D

@@matildariverwaldennews sounds great. Really good when there is that sort of support and it can help greatly. Clearly there are many different needs with many different types of support required.

He then went to college to study music technology but has never used it. He learnt to drive and then last year bought his own house and works full time in a cafe in Skipton.

Was this a special day at Kirby Stephen or do they run a bus there on normal days. I have been looking at going there one day, the standard of restoration there is really high from what I have seen on video. I don't know why they do not let people film at Settle, that's another place I want to visit and really wanted to do some filming.
@@cedarcam They do have buses but that particular one was for us, you would have to call them for times. I filmed in the main station at Settle and nobody said a word. But if I was going to recommend one it would definitely be Stainmore, as you know there’s nothing worse than someone hanging over you negatively when your filming at Stainmore they really don’t care, like the volunteer said film away 😊
@@matildariverwaldennews OK Thanks Matilda. There is a really good bus rally there with free rides between the stations so I think that would be a good weekend to go. My friend has just been to Stainmore and said the people there were very friendly He took video all over and no one minded.
Matilda, that dancing was superb! Very informative, beautiful coaches and they certainly don't make them like that anymore. Shame on the miserable fella at the signal box, you were completely entitled to film in a public place, made me quite angry.
@@lisaodd3196 The bit was railway property but when my mum arrived there were two members of the public in there and they said yes come in. Then the volunteer came and told us to go. Not to worry it’s their opinion it worked out for the better as I had longer to film at Stainmore I’ve been there four times and know the volunteers are very welcoming.
FYI, @lisaodd, according to British law, the Dept for Transport and the Railway Inspectorate, *a signal box is NOT a public area!* On the contrary, the law states categorically that as it is a safety critical area, only *AUTHORISED* staff are allowed inside. So the bloke you called 'miserable' was simply doing his job, whereas you are talking out the back of your neck.
@@jackx4311 I think you will find you are incorrect so they are not talking ‘ out of the back of their neck’ The signal box is open to the public, two members of the public entered with the volunteer. I only asked him to film the outside anyway. Imagine a different scenario; This video has had over 8,000 views and climbing ( predominantly watched by people who desperately want to peserve the history of railways” had I have titled it Railway volunteer refuses to let me film it would have 50,000 -100,000 now imagine if the helpful volunteer had said “Of course I can film the rear of the signal box and can you do me a favour can you put on your vid and your news channel that we are after donations and volunteers,?” Think how many people that would have reached and how it would have reached the younger generation? I just really can’t be bothered with the negativity and moved on to film some where where the volunteers said “film away” Thank for commenting
@@jackx4311 a FoSCL volunteer is working in the signal box or on the station when you visit Armathwaite, just ask if it is convenient to have a look round the signal box.

That officious volunteer at the beginning needs a lesson in public relations or to be removed from dealing with the public. Without young people’s enthusiasm these railways will slowly wither on the vine. What a contrast the other people were. Keep up the good work!
@@ronhope1739 I think it’s railway property, I asked if he could film it for me he wouldn’t, they clearly want to keep footage for themselves, I’m really not bothered there are lots of other places to be filmed, their choice 😊
A signal box is *NOT* a public place! On the contrary; as the signalman in it controls train movements of points and signals, according to railway legislation and the Railway Inspectorate it is deemed a safety critical area, and only authorised people may enter the box.
@@jackx4311 I hope you have the decency to apologise to all the people you have insulted and given incorrect information to on my channel.

You are totally incorrect though, it is open to the public and two members of the public went into the signal box with him. Also I asked him to film the outside which was perfectly acceptable and the men operating steam locomotives with a far more dangerous and important job seem more than capable and willing every time I have asked them to film for me.
