- On May 14th 2017, I never visited the Isle of Wight as part of 'All The Stations' ... or did I? It was time to go back to the Island to tell the story of why people think that it wasn't visited.
Unless of course, this whole video is faked as well ...
There's an 'Island Line Rover' ticket btw, which allows you unlimited travel all day, up and down the line if you want to explore it: www.nationalrai...

2:00 I love the poster stating "Your new South Western Railway has arrived" and then 1938 tube stock trundles past.
I thought exactly the same thing as you.
Excellent use of blue screen throughout - very convincing.
As well all know, the Isle of Wight doesn’t actually exist and is just a tourism board con!
Geoff Marshall I don’t know why I did, but I clicked on the timestamp to check it out 😂
Paul's Trip Reports. I know this to be true. I have been there. This is not actually a contradiction. The Isle of Wight exists in an alternate Universe. What you can see from Pompey is just in fact a cardboard cut-out.
1999Werdna yes!
A collab at that train station in the north east next to the regional airport. I forget the name.
Steve Page Teesside airport?
I went to the Isle of Wight before the "New" (1938) stock went there, when they were still using the 1923 stock. The trains were formed into 3 car trains (Known as 3 VEC units) and 4 car trains (Known as 4 TIS units) which was quite clever because when they ran as 7 coach trains in the summer they were known as 7 VEC-TIS units
You should go to Sodor.
"They never did the Kirk Ronan branch!"
they meant to, but Daisy was sulking so there was a Rail Replacement Bus Service with Bertie the Bus instead
May be they should take Harold the Helicopter?
If it existed
What about Ryan does it
With all the stations you archived something most people would never do in a life time and its a great series which i have seen people from abroad comment saying how much they have enjoyed it and im still enjoying it and watching it
No matter how much you try you will never please every one
Keep up the great work
Thank you for your generosity and sharing with us.
Journey back in time on the Isle of Wight's wonderful ex-Bakerloo Line Underground rolling stock which I remember from living in Queensbury, Middlesex, NW London (1943-57) where our house backed onto the line - brilliant memories of regular rides up to London.
I am from the island and so I grew up with only the Island Line train for trains as a child (and the Havenstreet Steam Railway but that is more of a tourist attraction), and I have only ever been from Ryde St. Johns or the Esplanade -> the Pier-head . Now I live it London and still find it hard to believe how common and every day trains are. They were something I got very infrequently growing up.
As an Isle of Wightian, this does look like through enough evidence! Whilst I use there trains very rarely, I can say they are quite an efficient system for the old relics they are, it was pretty even when I raced one from end to end using a motorbike on the roads!
As someone from the Isle of Wight you should know we are called Caulkheads
@@saintrossco279 only if your born on the island though. Over wise your an overner.
Lived in 20 miles from Portsmouth over 20 years of my life before I went to uni in Birmingham.
And I've only been to the Isle of Wight twice - once on my own for a day just before I started Aston Uni, second time a few years back for a family holiday.
The ferries and hovercraft are pretty expensive for foot passengers, I think even more so for non residents.
And my mum says car ferries can cost more than a ferry to France.
The most expensive ferries in the world!! I can't wait to move off the Island and those Solent Pirates!!
I thoroughly enjoyed binge watching all of the All The Stations videos and will continue to be a subscriber to any new ones. I am looking forward to coming into the UK and experiencing at least one or two train stations while I'm there! By the way, I think the music is sooo cool! Thank you for another brilliant episode!! Cheers!
This is hilarious!! You kept the gag running through the whole series (just about!) and now you've made a return trip to the island just to explain the joke!! Great stuff!!
Just came back from iow last week and been a few times love the chillaxing of the island and adore the train old school style, saving up to retire there when Im olde
Went here with scouts a few weeks ago, was really nice. They all thought it was a bit weird obsessing about the trains but it was fun. We stayed in the Shanklin scout hut not too far from the station.
Much better seating on these old trains than the new TFL offerings on Underground and Overground.
The ride of the train on the IOW brought back memories of riding these on the Piccadilly line into London back in the 1970s.
Brading Signal Box is not in use, but has been restored by a group of local volunteers. It's only open in the summer, on selected days and hours that can be found by googling "Brading Station Heritage Centre". Its well worth a visit, for £2 you get a private tour the restored island platform and signal box and you are allowed to have a go on the levers. There is also an excellent tea room and exhibition behind the bench Geoff was filming on.
Being involved with the Brading signalbox preservation I must say the tea room is excellent! If we'd know we'd have probably been able to open up for Geoff to have a look around.
Isle of Wight could do with a 12.5 km single-track tunnel with Tube style stops at Portsmouth & Sothsea, Gosport, and Ryde - at parking lot off George St, near Somerfield store. Likely cost 200 million pounds. Many people will object to better access to the island, but it will boost the economies of the island, Gosport and Portsmouth.
Happy to see you included the island and hope that you return when you do a series on steam train lines (Havenstreet)
Oh now I get those Isle of Wight jokes you kept making. I never looked at the comments so they went right over my head xD
I wish I’d discovered your channel 2 years ago, I’d have popped along to say hello!
Anyway, Island Line are getting new old underground D-stock/class230 trains like those on the Marston Vale Line, but their delivery is delayed.
Also, there is a plan to reopen a couple of the closed lines by Dr Beeching.
The lines are currently in use as cycle tracks. Sadly, the line to Ventnor has been built on so that will probably not happen.
@@icdgyixify
Do you know, reading back on my comment, I have no idea what I was referring to! 😳
Alderney in the Channel Islands has the only running railway in the Channel Islands. It's a single line pulled by a steam train hauling old London underground carriages from the Harbour station to the old Alderney Quarry and back to the Harbour. It only runs in the summer for tourists. Check it out.
Thanks mate, I was wondering why I was suddenly getting loads of comments on that video! :D
good to see they've given a couple of units a lick of paint, not sure about the size of that branding though!
you're welcome. now pay me my commission.
Loving the quick cuts!
Very lock stock!
Just came back from a week away there. My dad lives there. Such a nice island
Thanks for clearing that up Geoff! So many people made such a fuss that I think that Isle of Wight-gate was bigger than the Watergate scandal!
Wightgate!
When Kenilworth opens, you’ve got to do the whole trip again. Making sure you go to the Isle of Wight as well.
You didn't mention quite how bumpy the Island Line is. Charming, quaint stations and historic rolling stock but also bone-rattlingly terrifying at times!
Hey Geoff I’m new to your channel, I first seen your very heart touching video “choose corrour” and if was trying to promote be your self and don’t let anyone judge you
You make me smile, as my life is not the best living in drum chapel in Glasgow which isn’t the most wealthy place ever , sadly I’m an alcoholic because it’s how I cope with sad feeling with my dad’s pass and sexual acts I’ve been through and a live of constantly getting disrespected and bullied which I’ve been struggling with it and done self harm as well and attempted suicide many times.
Drum chapel is a horrible place, with high levels of poverty and I’ve seen your video of Glasgow and the place you were was really nice (Glasgow central) unfortunately that’s not everywhere
Glasgow has the 3rd highest of child poverty in the UK
I’ve had to do to illegal prostitution to make money to help my mum with cancer, I’ve tried other things to make Money but the rest ain’t working, and it’s mind blowing since I’m only 15 and I’ve been through all this pain
Also this video is very interesting and I’ve subscribed to your channel
Thanks Emma xx
(Also remove this comment if it’s inappropriate no worries )
Geoff Marshall- as you said I should go to a train station or something
I went to Aviemore with my auntie and got to go on the trains there (the steam trains attractions and it was very cool ) they have quite long platforms at Aviemore for some reason but it’s cool anyway
Trains and railways really do fascinate me
Thanks for your advise
Emma xx
I've always wanted to go on those old tube trains but I still haven't been on them yet
Photoshop!
Until you’ve done Bielefeld I won’t believe it.
And Finland of course.
Nice montage at the start. Ropey green screen effect - lol. I'm still amazed some people were genuinely under the impression you didn't go in the first place.
the first time I heard about the Isle of Wight was in a Beatles song when I was a kid, "When I'm 64", in the song, Paul sings "In the summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight if it's not too dear" since then I've always wanted to go there, but I don't think I'll wait till I'm 64 LOL
Nice to see the Island Line 38 stock have been given a fresh paint job by SWR. Under SWT the paintwork was a tad flaky.
I loved this mainly because I got to see all the stations I went to when I used to live on the Isle of Wight when I younger
that cafe on sandown station is lovely,i had tea there last year on my visit to the island line (sandown has a nice pier too)
Faked.
Totally.
Geoff Marshall Hello! :)
All shot in Train Simulator.
Mikosch2 😂😂
I've enjoyed all of your non-trips to the Isle of Wight!
Interesting about the 20/40 minute lop-sided clockface timetable, they removed the passing loop at Brading some years ago (but left the disued platform and bridge in situ), with the intention of running a service every 20 minutes (passing loops are in the right places for this at Ryde St John's and Sandown) but 2 or 3 of the units became unserviceable (and have since been scrapped, or canibalised for spares), which meant they no longer had enough trains to run a 20 minute headway. To run a balanced 30 minute service, they would need to pass at Brading, but as they'd already removed the loop there (!!!!) they decided on this compromise 20/40 minute arrangement until further notice!!
But in the video there’s plainly a double track at that station; is there not a way to access that track from the nominal main line, at one or both ends?
@@2themoon863 Yes, it's just a case of reinstating the 2nd track through the disused platform at Brading, which is what they're talking about doing now, but at the moment there's no track there, which is why they cannot run an even 30-minute headway service with the two trains.
@@2themoon863 I think you're being misled by the presence of the footbridge at Brading. If you pause the video at 8:09, take a screenshot and/or zoom in, you will see that there's actually no track running past the platform on the far side (the same as at Mansion House.platform 2 on the Underground in London(. Everything apart from the track has been left in situ.. I have been to Brading lots of times since the singling was done in 1990 or thereabouts, and got off there a couple of times, so I'm 100% certain this is correct.
The Branch from Brading to Bembridge should have been retained and electrified with the older stock being used as a preserved electric railway
Geoff... LOVE your videos, big fan. I keep checking TH-cam. Please say you were at IOW for the first new trains yesterday.
wonderful memories of a "tube" ride on that line a few years ago. Before they introduced the new logo (not sure I really fancy it... I certainly preferred the vintage '38 tube style)?
shouldve got permission from tfl to use the roundel with island line written on it
Is that just the old tube stock from the 1930s?
I love going on the old trains there... Some parts of the line are super bumpy...
This video is exactly three years old today.
I went to the Isle of Wight as a kid and we used the Island Line. The trains then were old British Rail Underground Stock that had been used on the Waterloo & City Line.
Stop it Geoff, you’re making me miss All The Stations!! 😥
The Island Line is so much fun the train travels fast as it’s goes in a straight line & it’s very bouncy 🙂 I love IOW.
Last time I went to the IoW, we got off the ferry just in time to see the train pull out. A masterpiece of miscoordination! We then had to wait 40 mins for the next one.
I watch loads of your videos, like them all, some more than others. I am a walker who hopes at some point in, the near future, a few years time to do all the Thames Crossings from Gravesend to at least Staines, how would you go about it, and maybe have done a video, or would do such a video. I would start the journey from Paddingtonm or rather, Stratford International.
I no more believe that you went to the Isle of Wight than I believe that Bielefeld exists.
Side note, the signal box at Ryde St John's Road used to be located at Waterloo East
Christ there's some sad people around. Just ignore them Geoff.
I have just got the news that Geoff maybe got in a time machine and went to 2020 and bought the Isle Of Wight pack. Then he faked all the footage and downloaded an ultra-realistic mod to simulate real life. He used a green screen to edit himself into the video too. He changed the livery of class 483 to the SWR LT Livery, then posted to youtube. And that is how he made it.
The ticket you have listed is the Island Liner ticket which gives the holder unlimited travel on both the Island Line and the Isle of Wight Steam Railway with interchange between the two railways at Smallbrook Junction. This ticket is only available on steam railway operating days only and of course, trains only call at Smallbrook Junction on steam railway operating days as well.
There is an Island Line Day Rover ticket, which can be found here:
www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/pr0273b53e524967855793dab563043b.aspx
This is valid only on the Island Line train service and not on the Isle of Wight Steam Railway.
Hey Geoff I watched your All the Stations series over the last fortnight and never got around to leaving any comments due to circumstance so I now would like to take this chance to congratulate you guys on a job well done, great content love the knowledge and enthusiasm and getting the chance to see all over the mainland.
I live up at Ally Pally in north London and theirs some interesting railway history around here was hoping as a video in the future going to old unused railway stations and seeing what they are being used for these days just looking at the architecture of them old stations is worth it alone.
thanks Al! lovely comment, appreciated. you've seen the video we've done on the Parkland Walk, right?
th-cam.com/video/nTeTQJjkMz4/w-d-xo.html
will check it out now )
I herd there was going to be a new station built outside the new Stadium of Tottenham Hotspurs Football Club which hopes to be complete later this Summer if that dont work out i think the club are trying to get the name changed of the station just off the high rd i forget the name right now, the W3 Bus stops outside.
Great episode Geoff very informative shame the place does not really exist in fact Blackgang is really Mordor .
Hi there I'm just watching you at the Isle of Wight that's funny you're here on the island line from shanklin that's where I am living at the moment but you have also done the Romford to upminster line I used to live there upminster shanklin is what 4 minutes away from me the train is really old and a rough ride I like Ryde and Newport there anyway hope you liked it here
You had a separate ferry ticket - you could have just bought a train ticket from East Croydon straight through to Shanklin if you didn't need an Island Line Rover, because the ferry is still considered part of the rail network.
So when are you actually going to do the Isle of Wight?
Dogleg we're not sure, we need to go there at somepoint though.
+Geoff Marshall
What happened to day 6?
Do the doors open automatically like on the Underground, or manually like a National Rail train?
Who else owns the Train Sim version of the Isle of Wight?
BWI Aviation I do. And you can clearly see that so much of this video uses the Train Sim IOW add on when ever they need to show a shot of a train.
Exactly. Train sim just looks that good
Amazing what can be done with a green screen! Great video Geoff
great video iv seen all of the bonus videos and you can see that the isle of wight was filmed good work when are you going to do all the stations in northern ireland
Doing some research I found out that you did not go to the Isle of Wight but rather to the the Isle of Ghast. Totally different thing!
Amazing coincidence! Something about birthdays or something. Really enjoyed your USA Underground video. What was going on with your hair colour at the start?
used to be two tracks there. i remember the end of the line after it was closed at shanklin. there was a bridge then the track was pulled up and it went round a bend into the distance. before my time when it went on to ventnor.
I used to catch the number 2 bus from Ryde to the school in Newport and back. I think it was a Titan bus back then though.
Sad thing is is that those old tube trains are an improvement on the pacers.
I love the isle of wight, my grandparents live in ryde, theres lots to explore. The IOW network is South western railway.
last time i was in Shankling was 1987 a few months before the famous storm tore the pier off.
Now do Shippea Hill!
Ok, I'm not going mad. Because I remembered seeing you at the Isle of Wight. Bonus video. I did that playlist. 😉
But to really do the isle of wight railway, you have to travel by hovercraft too, as it used to be a rail run service, as were the various ferries!
Passing loop at Brading used to be used before electrification, I believe. In fact it was the junction for, was it Bembridge?
You could have gone to meet David Icke when you alighted at Ryde Eslandade.
Always love your vids Geoff, but where's your I don't even know why we're here No 3 vid??
Did you realize that this station was opened in 1864, when the Metropolitan Line opened in London
very nice story Geoff, thnx, big fan from south africa
Wow! Tea from a cup and saucer! 😂😂😂
You never went… round the “looper” or shepperton branch. Historic Kingston (the stone, phone boxes and 3men in a boat), Teddington “the home of Measurement”, Kempton Park and the largest triple expansion steam engine, , through the fulwell tunnel that used to flood and generate clouds of steam from the 3rd Rail. Twickenham, the home of rugby, Barnes London wetland center. There are a lot of people in SW London looking out for their stations….
Yes they did - watch the day they did Longcross - when they got to Staines they said they were getting a lift to Shepperton. Not all stations were covered in detail in the films, but they did every single one. look at the Map
Are you able to tell me on what video you covered the Dartford Loop Line? (It was probably before I started following you on TH-cam!).
Did you not notice the Ginkgo biloba tree @ 10:45 in the beer garden of The Railway Inn? The biggest in the county I believe
This is like the Staten Island Railroad in New York
Back in August 2017 I Was Staying at Nodes Point Holiday Park, Right Near to Smallbrook Junction And Brading
I don’t see any hovercraft. Can’t be the Isle of Wight. Nice try tho.
JBS how lol
He went on wightlink of course
Hovercrafts are loooooooong gone
They’re actually not long gone especially since a new one just went into service
Area 51 No they're not. The Cross -Channel ones are long gone (I'm glad I had a few chances to ride on them before they bowed out) but the Southsea - Ryde service is still very much alive, with new craft now in service, and is now the only surviving hovercraft route in this part of the world.
All that money collected in the Kickstarter campaign actually wasn't required for travelling/accommodation but went towards the production of this very video as Geoff knew in advance they'd not be able to do the Isle of Wight. Good job, shame the dosh ran out before they could polish the last bit starting at 12:14 ...
Just realized after months of watching your videos I'm not subscribed. Oops lol
How about a video for Isle of Man?
Next project should be All the (Irish) Stations...
They've done it now.
Is that white font on dark green background standard across National Rail now? I thought it was a Southern (the franchise, not the old Southern Railway) thing and Island Line was never part of the Southern franchise.
Ah Geoff, you love the old sarcasm don't you. 😂
I love the isle of wight, I even have a station named after me !! lol
Lol look at the comments what have you started mate ! 😂😂😂 I'm only on 16th episode and loving it well done to you both 👍
If you look closely in the background you can see the green screen.
omg I didn't see the ending to which you were in front of a green screen. lmao wtf
Best regards from London! 💗🇬🇧
Geoff you should make a video with all your scrap/spare footage and put it into one
For a pound, you can cross the footbridge and visit the signal box at Brading
5:00 - See how he moves the drip from his bottom lip to his top lip and then whilst misdirecting you with his hand he lets it fall. Old magicians trick... therefore fake video using these skills. This is all done on Croydon tram station (like all his videos). Digitally edit in a tea shoppe here and a tree there and bingo! The train shots are all done with his Hornby collection... and magnets (or is it mirrors). Got your number!! Clever stuff though Geoff.
New to your videos thoroughly enjoying them Geoff, re the Island Line I notice you do not comment on how old and decrepit these trains are and so shaky you need a travel sickness pill to get anywhere. I feel sorry for the system that unlike London no money is used to upgrade it also talk of closing the line down very bad in the 21st century.
I tried to go to the Isle of Wight... funnily enough, the ferry was cancelled. So I'm not sure it actually exists.
Doesn’t London Underground have a couple of their retired underground trains that could be sent over to the Isle of Wight at least they would be younger
