Hi, I notice there are a few complaints about the backround music. For my part I like it very much and found it relaxing. A few subtitles would enhance it I guess. My part of Norfolk, along the A11 corridor is being covered with housing estates as fast as the builders can throw them up. So nice to see a lot of it is still the same as it has always been. Many thanks for posting this .
Welcome to my office, I really enjoy driving this route. Obviously filmed a little while ago as the SP speed boards have now been replaced with MU ones. I guess these things take a while to put together though. Thanks though, I can now send this to my younger children and show them what I see when at work 😀
I love this part of the world and stay near Cromer from where I catch the train to Norwich or other stops along the way. The line also goes beyond Cromer terminating at Sheringham. A beautiful route from the coast, through the Broads and ending in one of the most attractive Cities in England.
Wow! Memory lane for me. I lived in Lower Southrepps from 78 to 89, went to Norwich City College from 78 - 82 so did Gunton to Norwich and back many, many times. I now live near Christchurch, New Zealand. But, still, Norfolk is so beautiful. Thank you for this film.
Maybe this soundtrack is suitable for a video about the cosmos. Perhaps train sounds are better suited to a video about train journeys? Add some information about what we are seeing, even better.
I enjoyed the video for what it was but, where is the narrative informing people who don't know the area, where the lines go to or come from as they branch off or join the line we are on? What are the names of the station we stop at or pass through? This video could have been so much entertaining if the viewer had a full picture of the journey.
Quite a number of large towns were passed through but didn't hav a station. In fact the first station was in the middle of nowhere. Imagine living in a town that has a train line running through it yet being forced to drive a car to there being no station.
You obviously live outside Norfolk. The only town the train stops is North Walsham, which has a population of around 10k. Please do your research before commenting.
A brilliant video but would have liked the sound of the train. However, the music was very relaxing and better than no sound at all. Also, captions of features on the line would have been helpful. 8/10!
I agree it’s a pity they didn’t film all the way to Sheringham as it’s the best bit of the line but I understand the quick turnaround at Cromer would make it difficult. Maybe film from the back cab? Going backwards but still would be worth seeing.
Beautifully filmed and a wonderful scenic route, but as others have said could have done without the music. Presumably aimed at the general public rather than the enthusiast. Best enjoyed with the sound off!
If you don't like the music, turn the sound off, the videos are just as enjoyable without sound. lf you haven't discovered Dan Coffey's videos I recommend them, train sounds and lots of information.
If you want to see the View from Cromer to Sheringham thankfully Hastings diesels uploaded a cab ride of the view m.th-cam.com/video/-WIYUJd4q80/w-d-xo.html
A great video, however, you would have had me on board had you have the ambient sound instead of the annoying background music. If I had to relax with music there are a zillion music channels available.
00:00 Depart Norwich. 10:21 Sehouse. 14:50 Hoveton & Wroxham. 20:27 Station unidentifiable(Blurred destination sign). Train passes through. 24:56 North Walsham - Station identified only by sign at Gunton, next station on line(destination sign illegible due to rain). 33:37 Gunton. 40:35 Roughton Road. 46:15 Cromer - End of line. I'm giving this a dislike because you should've had captions on screen identifying the stations, whether stopping at or passing through them.
10:21 is Salhouse. 4:18 Whitlingham Junction (main line continues to right to Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth) 16:00 Bure Valley Railway on left (15” gauge)
@@owentoller5280 It's a bit tricky as I'm pausing the video to read the signs on the stations, and the glare on the window of the loco can make it tricky to read those station name signs.
What would have been a very nice video completely ruined by a hideous soundtrack, like so many others. It would have been so much better to just have the sound of train on track.

I too loved the music 🎶, found it relaxing and enjoyable. Had enough of the noise of this world, ❤
I imagine if the microphone was switched on you would hear the driver coughing, farting, swearing or whatever. 😁

Thank you Gary! We filmed the route in Autumn 2021.

Would be a better video with just the sounds of the train and no music , great cab ride though .
Thank you very much
Whoever had the idea to include background music instead of the train sounds needs to get their act together.
Absolutely. It's for that reason I stopped watching after 3 minutes.
Amazingly put together!
Very nice ride...thank you.

Amazing 👏.
Also good. I would have liked to watch the full run to Sheringham.

I'm a student in Edinburgh and I often travel by train in the UK. I can tell you guys how to buy a cheaper train ticket!

Cromer would make it difficult. Maybe film from the back cab? Going backwards but still would be worth seeing.
Thanks so much; I used to love in Cromer. No time to switch the camera to the other end for the final leg to Sheringham I guess.

Loved the Video and really liked the accompany'ing Music. Great Job !
The description is wrong. Norwich is a city, not a town. Sorry to sound picky!
Travelling on a single track makes me feel nervous!
Had to curtail watching this video because of the background music.
Same here. Needless, pretentious music, ruining the video.
Union/company agreement prohibiting recording of audio in the cab.
@@JC-gm3zs: I find it quite relaxing but I guess ‘it takes all kinds’. 🇦🇺
shame about the "music", could there be a version with train noises, announcements etc?
Shame about the music, original train sounds are always better..
Other than that, great video.. :)
I've never wanted a 60 inch TV before but now....
Could we not have a few subtitles to show where we are?
Go to street map and note the landmarks , bridges, level crossing , stations etc , its what I did and followed it on the map
Cut out the music………
❤
If you don't like the music, turn the sound off, the videos are just as enjoyable without sound. lf you haven't discovered Dan Coffey's videos I recommend them, train sounds and lots of information.
My dream island is Uk. When I will go there I don't know.😔❤❤
Nice video spoiled by the terrible muzak..Sounded like myself taking piano lessons when I was seven years old.
It´s called ambient music...
You could of continued all the way to Sheringham. But very nice 👍
Yes, they missed the coastal bit :(
There isn't enough turnaround time at Cromer to set up a camera to record that part of the trip
Agreed should have continued to Sheringham.

No spoilers but keep your eyes peeled on our future episodes 😉

00:00 Depart Norwich.
10:21 Sehouse.
14:50 Hoveton & Wroxham.
20:27 Station unidentifiable(Blurred destination sign). Train passes through.
24:56 North Walsham - Station identified only by sign at Gunton, next station on line(destination sign illegible due to rain).
33:37 Gunton.
40:35 Roughton Road.
46:15 Cromer - End of line.

20:27 = Worstead Station
@@petes6814 Thank you. I couldn't make out the sign as it was illegible due to blurring.
10:21 is Salhouse.
4:18 Whitlingham Junction (main line continues to right to Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth)
16:00 Bure Valley Railway on left (15” gauge)

10:21 Salhouse and 20:27 Worstead. Cromer isn't the end of the line, the train reverses and goes on to West Runton & Sheringham.
Very nice relaxing music to accompany a very relaxing and interesting scene.
Often, such videos have horrendous background music.
Spoilt by awful " background" music and lack of captions. Let's just have the train noises for authenticity.
What would have been a very nice video completely ruined by a hideous soundtrack, like so many others. It would have been so much better to just have the sound of train on track.
23:41, more ugly housing developments, going up in countryside everywhere,
Watch at 2x speed :D
yes music is not good, in cab sounds only please and captions!!!
Music instead of noise is a no, no!
These videos are such a good idea, but who on earth decided on the terrible music should be sacked!!
Union/company agreement - no audio recording in the cab. Two choices - listen to the music or mute it and listen to something more to your liking.
