    Hello! It's come to my attention that some of you are getting this video as school homework, and while I welcome those of you who have used the information in this video to your advantage, I'd appreciate it if viewers that enjoyed the video to a lesser extent would hold their tongue when commenting. It's not my fault your teacher gave you boring train homework 😂. That being said, it's only a 6 minute video, at least it's not an entire documentary, eh?
    Genuinely, though, if you're a teacher that has given this video as homework (looking at you, Ms Mubah) I hope you're all getting some value out of this video I made for a laugh three years ago!

    Very good video I really like the fact that you included Matthew Murray and Salamanca as the first operationally successful steam locomotive as everybody alse forgets this or doesn't do enough research to find out that the Salamanca and the Middleton railway in south Leeds west Yorkshire was the first operational railway/wagonway in the UK opening in 1758 though an act of parliament.

      Wouldn't say I quit - just that I made these videos when I had a lot of free time. I work full time these days and have less time to make videos, or at least videos to the standard I'd like. They took me months to properly research, write and produce without me having a full time job.

      The videos I've released already have taken anywhere up to 6 months to research, script, voice, edit and upload, and that was back when I wasn't working full time. Video output now is slow because my life completely changed after going into an 8 hour day job. I have a few ideas for videos in the pipeline though, so watch this space.
