Brilliant video, never been to those Three locations before between Newark and Lincoln. Been to Lincoln before but wouldn't go and film trains on the Lincoln Christmas Market. Platforms are rammed
i really enjoyed this vlog im loving all the stations and it feels good getting out and exploring places and places in the middle of nowhere and i must admit i like visiting smaller places in the warmer months anyway keep up the awesome work
Walking nearby rural roads, villages, fields and parks around stations has been bits I often felt missing in Geoff's videos and your walk is a welcoming addition to this video. Even if there's nothing in the middle of nowhere, "overseas" viewers like me want to see what's around an unassuming British railway station, and in my case I'm watching in South Korea and I can enjoy looking at, for example, houses in rural England which look very different from houses in rural South Korea.
Rural towns really are nice. Seems great fun, maybe give the OS maps a quick once over before you go to a station. Then you know where you can and can't walk, but I guess that ruins the fun. Great video tho, would have liked to see you also explore Newark as well.
Great video Nick! The local stations do provide a lot of history and character. I'd definitely like to see more videos like this. I've been to Lincoln only once on a class 158!
Llanbister Road station is a really good one to visit, if you like stations that are out in the sticks and far from the village (about 5 miles) it serves. 🙂
Aussie here. Really enjoyed this vlog. Would u consider providing passenger stats and frequency of service information for all stations in the vlog. Also, I enjoyed the way in which u explored the towns close to the Stations.
As a fellow transport enthusiast who goes to uni in Lincoln it's good to see some Lincolnshire train content, even if there isn't much actual railway mileage here!
Nearby Southwell has an abundance of enticing paths - including one along the former railway line which, sadly, Dr B did for. Nice channel, Geoff - I mean, Nick😊
@@NickBadley come, come - you must have watched a video or so by THE Geoff Marshall? Transport enthusiast extraordinaire? Mind you, his chief rival (certainly when it comes to international travel} Dylan of Dylan’s Travel Reports seems to be easing up and going to retrain as a HGV driver. So, there is an opening in the market! Good luck! Young, quirky, enthusiastic - just the ticket.
I enjoyed this video Nick and would love to see more of them. Lol it appears 170 530 must be your stalker unit if you caught it 3 times. XD And parks are good, I love a good park myself. :)
Yes, just north of Newark, where the East Coast Main Line crosses the Lincoln to Nottingham line There is a standard gauge line that crosses a narrow gauge line at Porthmadog in Wales
The 170s are a huge step up from the 153 and 156s that used to use this line, I loved Lincoln when I was there
Only been here a few weeks but back home I've had to use plenty of Northern 150s and 156s and I can definitely say the 170s are an improvement!
What a fun visit! It’s really interesting to explore local stations, I’ve been to a couple of tiny ones!
Nice to have a telephone that has a bring your own receiver function.

Aw shame about that, must say though Lincoln is definitely rather nice!

Well done mate. Nothing like exploring your local stations. I have been doing that in my recent videos
Thanks again Nick. I used to work in Lincoln in the 80's when Lincoln still had 2 stations
Ah yeah, the old St Marks station!
Hi Nick that was an excllent and enjoyable video. I really enjoy you taking trains to new places and having an explore.
That large, new housing estate right next to Hykeham station used to be a foundry which closed down a few years ago, to be replaced by those houses.

If you plan on making it as far south as Leicester, would be a blast joining in for that with some local knowledge! (local to South Wigston here)
I'll get back to you if I ever plan on it!
Oh, and if you're in Lincoln make sure to visit Fledborough viaduct at least once - it's frankly amazing
Hi Nick I really enjoyed these videos keep them coming well done mate.
There are a lot of stations which appear to be in the middle of nowhere in Lincolnshire and north of the Humber
Great video 👍
Swinderby is awesome. I walked it from Collingham when I ticked it off.

I enjoyed your video. Keep up the work make more like this one.

Who on Earth is this "Geoff" fellow that everyone keeps telling me about? Hmmm. 🤔🤔 😂

You never know, honestly! I don't want to be too overconfident. I'll just take it as it comes!
Great video Nick! Was the PIS working on EMR 170’s as I do know EMR don’t use automated announcements much.
I can confirm they were not using automated announcements. I think I'm still yet to see an EMR train use one!
I got a idea! Ride the Parry People Mover on the Stourbridge Junction branch.
That may or may not be on my list of future things!
@@NickBadley ooh I’ll look forward to it!
There's a ticket machine at Swinderby now

I would have thought being a student, a pint at a local pub in each location would have been mandatory whilst waiting for the next train
You'll de-throne Geoff Marshall some day! :)
I appreciate the optimism 😂
I don’t think I saw it on here, but I think this is the only stretch in the UK where two tracks cross 90 degrees to each other?

Very nice. I have subscribed to your channel.
Thank you! 😊
You are more welcome
Are we just going to ingore the fact that a Freightliner Class 66 was trying to video-bomb you at 1:16??!!
You should add Newark Northgate to Newark Castle to your pointless journeys
