We ❤️ the thumbnail of Geoff. Bet he loves trains really.
ha
All The Stations Is the Coast good?
I don't need a vote card to say that Geoff looks more like Daniel Craig!
Can we vote on getting Vicki to sing the intro to a Scottish episode instead??
All The Stations when are you guys at teesside airport ?
If there is any justice Geoff and Vicki will get a regular TV series where they explore all of the nooks and crannies of the United Kingdom through its public transport network. Much more informative and entertaining than anything on regular TV.
Tina Onions - was a Marshall once. I agree, they're very engaging. Regular tv viewers would love it!
That would be fantastic!
If there is any justice they should be given the British Tourist Board award for most entertaining travel programme/series/documentary, 2017.
Hmmm All The Crannies Nice ring to it!
I think they'd have to challenge Michael Portillo to single combat to get that job!
12:51 Passenger looks straight at Vicky Pipe to make sure he's being filmed.
12:54 Aware that he is on camera, passenger slowly picks his nose.
I had to pause and shimmy down here just to confirm with a fellow viewer what I had seen :D
Dax Hallman was wondering how long it would take for someone to comment that haha
17:50 Guy in right hand side winks at the camera
Dax Hallman youre right
minecraftbattle beast21 The crack attack made me chuckle
Class 37's have the best sound of any power unit...
Don’t forget the 50’s either 😀
Basically anything with a English Electric Power Unit 👍🏻👍🏻😀
I like the Deltic (class 55). Has a unique sound as well!
John R that’s the class 40s.. the class 40 is nicked as Whistler but I get what you mean
Am I the only one who thinks geoff and Vicki should be the replacements for Michael portillo on great railway journeys, these two would be great
No, you're not the only one.
James Gray amen !
Michael Portillo is great too.
@@anianoenrique2115 I haven't quite forgiven him. He was a right wing politician.
@@astronomenov99 Yes, not being a woke moron is obviously an unforgivable sin.
Barrow is definitely not the end of the line, the line continues onto the island of sodor 😀😀😀
or as my brother called it "The Island of Sod all"!
I have to say this is probably my favourite All the Stations episode yet, a scenic rural railway, magnificent drone footage and some "real" trains (not fully agreeing with that but well), everything just fits so perfectly together. Oh I love All the Stations
Damn it just gets better and better.... we get Martin and his amazing drone shots and YET MORE of Steve's fabulous mixes of theme tunes!
And who does Geoff look like? Personally I think he is a dead ringer for that guy in Secrets of the Underground! You know, the Londonist dude... ;-) :-) I'm a fan. :-)
gobears6487 Ah had to the Cumbrian Coast whilst I was up there! Was a "must do"!
Geoff should redo secrets of the _______ line and all other train services in London after Crossrail (Elizabeth Line) opens
gobears6487 the Londonist dude is Geoff so is the secrets of the tube
Jack Jack Productions r/whooosh
I'm with Geoff - the 37 is a proper locomotive. All the clag, growl and rattle. Combine that with the regular clattering of jointed rail and you have a marvel of British railway engineering. A couple of bits of trivia for you that didn't make it into the video. 1. A physical token is still exchanged between the driver and signalman for the single line section between St Bees and Sellafield. 2. The 37s are leased by Northern from Direct Rail Services (DRS). DRS is the only government-owned train company in the UK, which has the primary function of transporting nuclear material.
Pedant alert... DRS are the only government owned train company in Great Britain, but not the UK. Translink / NI Railways in Northern Ireland are state owned.
Toms Photos Have fun with a pacer on joined track!
Toms Photos is the 37 a Deltic?
In Auckland, we used to have mostly push-pull trains (the locomotive in my thumbnail, DC4444 ran a push-pull train from 2004 to 2014-2015).
@@jackreddington6881 nope, the Class 37 had an engine made by English Electric. The Napier Deltic engine was used in the similar-looking Class 55 and Class 23 "baby Deltic" locomotives.
Now that Vicki mentions it, you do look at lot more like Jeremy Renner.
ClassicGamerX11 omg so true
Also I've noticed, possibly for the benefit of the enthusiasts, Northern have actually marked the Class 37 loco-hauled journeys in their timetables. Greater Anglia are also currently using loco-hauled services on some journeys between Norwich and Lowestoft/Great Yarmouth.
Best delivery hand-off ever!
This has to be one of my favourite episodes of ATS - I'm in total agreement with Geoff, a proper train is one with an engine at the front and carriages behind 👍
Those drone shots though 👌❤................makes me want to go there! That's on my list now, along with Corrour.
I like how we both have loco-hauled and MU services here in Germany. Gradually most loco-hauled become MUs, e.g. in December 2015, the loco-hauled double-decker service from my town to Cologne was taken over by National Express who bought EMUs instead. However, DB just bought brand new loco-hauled double-decker IC trains and I heard they also want to buy new single-decker carriages, so hope is not lost here
The drone footage is excellent. Enjoyed the sound of the 37. Another great video
Peter Young thanks Peter :-)
Wakes up, gets ready, eats breakfast, checks TH-cam. Sees a new all the stations video. Thinks 'Yay! Some brilliant content to watch!' Thanks Geoff and Vicki for providing a brilliant series, its absolutely brilliant! Ed
That drone footage is just amazing! What a beautiful part of the world!
Who wouldn’t want to enjoy a pint at a place called The Ratty Arms? Great reviews on Tripadvisor, by the way.
As for who Geoff looks like, it’s definitely more Jeremy Renner with some of the late John Hurt thrown in for good measure.
nice to see my home station, Dalton - but we can't claim Stan Laurel - he was from the previous station, Ulverston - enjoyable series though!!
Thank you for that Stan Laurel plug
Stan Laurel was born in Ulverston, there’s a statue of him there.
The statue in Ulverston is of both Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. There is also a museum in Ulverston also.
My grandmother lived in Arnside and we used to go on every school holiday to our cottage there, Arnside chip shop used to do this thing where if you wore a football top they hadn't seen before that year, they'd give you a free bag of chips! It was an easy win being from Nottingham and wearing a Forest top.
Shame you couldn't do more on the Tyne Valley line- I was looking forward to it!
Me too, there's some beautiful scenery along the way and Haltwhistle station is just lovely. I hope they enjoy Newcastle, and have a bonus episode on the Metro
I do love all the drone shots - it adds such an epic feel to it all.
Philip Cobbold thank you Philip! Mostly Geoff's own, but I got the 37 leaving Foxfield
We need an All The Drone Shots video.
You two finally came to my home town! Barrow
Did the Cumbrian coast yesterday behind a 37, what an experience!
That noise! The driver certainly put on a good show :)
I agree with Geoff on what is a 'proper' train.
Large logo, Eastfield and noise - heaven!
Does this mean that Daniel Craig is going to play Geofftech, when HBO turn All The Trains into a miniseries?
I think Geoff looks like a young Glenn Tilbrook from Squeeze…
Have never travelled this line, but it looks like another one to add to the "must do" list. Another great video with the bonus of some more superb drone footage.
Honestly good luck with the service. It's not reliable, at all.
We have class 37s running on the Norwich to Yarmouth/Lowestoft line so I get them all the time. I can even hear them from my house which is brilliant.
That BR Class 37 is a stunner. Beautiful engine and such a great engine sound.
Daniel K been on it a couple of times from Lowestoft to Norwich, something quite majestic about it.
It's a bus...
...on rails! 🚂
Thanks for visiting Nethertown its a station that doesnt get enough notice and i know because im there a lot and im the only one great video and its nice to see someone on the Cumbrian coast and documenting it in such an interesting way.
It was only last week that I took a train to Braystones from Preston just to enjoy the walk and stumble along the pebbles to Nethertown. It's such a quiet and underestimated place. I love it!
St Bees Priory, and Vicky's strange experience. Ghosts, that's what you get when you disturb old graves, the Knight and his sister now roam the Priory :-) All The Graves!
Great drone footage. Thanks, Martin.
And you've placed St. Bees solidly onto my must-visit list.
@geofftech love the 37 sound
The best 4 hours sitting down of my life--barrow to carlisle,wonderful
They have still to go to gretna green there are wedding opportunities quite close to the station as I recall
The drone footage is exquisite- must be hard to keep that level when it's that windy!
St Bees is lovely!! Me and my family Go there each summer on the train, spend the day there then come back! I love it !!
Edit: This year we went on a 37 I think. We at least saw one and I took a photo of it from the bridge cause it reminded me of that blue train from chuggington.
It was the Mary Queen of Scots.
37401 is the number.
Cumbria coast, AWESOME! !!!!
the Ravenglass and Eskdale railway is amazing.
Also known as 'the Ratty'.
I have memories of that as a kid, it was fun.
The Ratty is 15" not 2', and it was built to serve iron ore mines and stone quarries. You're confusing it with the likes of the Tal-y-Llyn and Ffestiniog. They are the slate railways.
A lovely Class 37 locomotive!
Wow what a stunningly well-made vid! Well done all!
Love this route. and yes trains stop at Barrow but there are some that goes all they way to Carlisle from Lancaster. That is the one that usually have the diesel
Stan Laurel wasn't born at Dalton-in-Furness, He was born at his grandparents house at 3 Argyle Street, Ulverston 16th June 1890, There's a light blue make shift plaque on the front of the house.
What happened to showing the journey from Carlisle to Newcastle and Wylam station, You do know what Wylam is famous for?
Perhaps you could tell us
Little story about Aspatria station which there's a shot of at about 16:49; way, way back. when my dad was young, the last train wouldn't stop but would merely slow down and the guard would wander up the train announcing, "Spyatree, a' them wi' clogs on lowp oot!"
I was very much hoping he'd say Spyatree when he went past
It was good to meet you both between Carlisle and Hexham. All the best for the rest of your journey. 😊
I hope they get engaged at the end. They are becoming cuter and cuter as a couple.
xSwaghettiYolonesEx no they haven't, they aren't married
James Davison they got married in 2018
Glad you found Nethertown... a request stop that does not get too many requests. Most trains fly right past, blink and you miss it.
I live right near Crown Point Depot in Norwich and Hearing the class 37’s pass by my flat is just one of the best things ever. It litterally makes the whole place vibrate when it passes xD
This episode brought a tear to my eye 😀
Between 7:59 and 8:39, I love the backing music, and then it gets better between 8:40 and 8:56. I surely hope there's a fuller version on the music soundtrack!
Awesome video!! Really enjoyed it! & Steve, what a legend! Can’t beat class 37s!
Lovely to bump into you in Edinburgh the other day, Geoff. Hope you got to see a show and enjoy the rest of your time in Scotland!
I do like your Intro music, it goes very well with you intro video cut aways Love your vids don't stop, more please especialy during these dark days of lopck down, thy're keeping me sane, stay safe, Robert.
Class 37 my all time fav loco now i feel great to see them left in operation + DRS Coaches awesome video you two thank you :)
Omg you do look a bit like Daniel Craig. Haha. I've watched so many of your videos without realising. You 2 are great - what a lovely couple!
Great video this one, especially the class 37 trip.
Love those videos!!!
I love this video especially at Nethertown because I've never see the station I'm at all the time from that angle with the drone keep up the great vids.
Absolutely bloody brilliant..... Michael Portillo, you better start looking for anther job.... Well done to the pair of you.
Thought I saw you at Arnside on the other platform! Just missed you both. Hope you enjoyed the trip and the fish & chips and lovely coast line and sorry about the pacer.
We litterally lived at Ulverston Station House as kids in the 80's for 6 weeks of the summer holidays, and spent most of the time sat or playing on the platforms and grounds.
I was one of the lucky ones that claimed workington north as a station it was great and great video as well ive loved watching all of these videos :)
I’ve only just watched this episode😆 I went to Carlisle once - I think it was 1973 or 4 .....four of us were ‘following’ the Lombard RAC Rally, going stage to stage and catching sleep (trying to) in a Mk 1 Ford Escort. Had a guy with us who used to draw Ordnance Survey maps for a living, he knew where a lot of the unpublicised forest stages were; we’d be in the forest watching at 2am. Back then the event ran through the day and the night. It’s since been reduced to ‘Rally Wales’, a much smaller event. (Stick with me on this)
We got thoroughly soaked in the November rain in a Yorkshire forest.
Next stop was Carlisle, in a launderette, sitting in just our boxer shorts whilst all other clothes were in the tumble drier. The Police were called but when we explained we were four ‘soft Southerners from Sussex’ they just laughed and told us to ‘bugger off as soon as we were dry’ and ‘come back Up North when we were tough enough, not before.’
Great fellas and a happy - and only - memory of Carlisle.
Really enjoyed this episode.
The Cumbrian Coast line is interesting in that at many places there are railway bridges across the rivers and estuaries but not road bridges, so the trains can provide a much quicker route between some towns than roads. I've walked around all the coast of Cumbria (and in fact all the coast of England) and the Cumbria Coast line was very valuable to me to get back to my hotel or home. Though at times I was tempted to walk across some of the railway bridges (I didn't, of course) because to walk around by the nearest path or road can add many miles (as much as 10, at times).
Please, you have to do a Durham episode :)
Congratulations on the 20k subscribers! Love the series.
That 37 sounds spectacular
1:50 yes it is one for the enthusiasts, until my Class 37 I was expecting turned out to be just a DMU, ouch :/ but glad you had better luck! And yes I was waiting for the right service which is usually loco hauled! At least my replacement was a 156 and not a pacer though
Love the sound of a 37 its a childhood memory for me as between 1998-2006 they were running on the rhymney valley line and then they stopped until this summer and as I am older and live in a different area I can now hear them throughout the day
three of my great great great grandfathers worked on that railway and one of them was married at st bees
Up in the Lake District! I recognise all this. Just whatever you do, don't swim in the sea. You'll come out with three eyes and dissolved lungs probably! As you said: it's nuclear!
That chipshop in Arnside is fantastic, such a fluffy batter.
Stan Laurel was born in Ulverston, not Dalton ! That's why the Laurel & Hardy museum is in Ulverston !
(It's not why there's an in-land lighthouse in Ulverston or the country's shortest deepest canal.)
I wish I could have joined you at silverdale. And yes, Arnside chippy is the best chip shop for miles and miles.
PJ and the Craxfords A bit far for me to go. I have been to the Mangawhai Fish & Chip shop which known as the best fish & chip shop in New Zealand.
A loco and coaching stock will always win hands down, units are mearly people carriers with little thought of comfort. Been re-watching this epic journey. You should release them on dvd/blu ray. Just superb.
A proper train pulled by a locomotive and slam doors. I loved slam doors as a kid, going from Manchester to Ulverston or Manchester to London. On local Chassen road, Flixton, Urmston Manchester services as a child wheelchair user I wound often have to travel in the gards van with trolleys and push bikes. Thankfully those days are gone as well as now being a non wheelchair user.
Locos, schmocos. SO digging the beak heads on the doorway at St Bees Priory.
Geoff and vickky. Increíble couple i love those railway trips now and then congratulations friends
I have been all over St. Bees, live very close. Love getting a Hartleys by the sea!
*makes reference to Harrington Hump*
*skips past Harrington station*
That drone has some pretty impressive image stabilizing to keep that steady in that wind.
In thirty years time will people get nostalgic about sprinters an pacers?
i miss class 37's, they used to be all over South Wales
Makes me sad that I didn't get to see a lot of my local stations (Eaglescliffe, Allen's West, Stockton, Newcastle, etc.) but honestly, quality content. Never thought of myself as a railway person (although it is the best way to travel) but I'm really enjoying binging this series
I always watch these videos for the intro mainly. But mainly for the interesting content
Glorious 37!
Proper train. Woohoo! I am totally with Geoff on this one.
The loco was a classic class 37. Lovely.
Oh wow! I didn't think those diesel hauler's existed in the UK!
We have those services in Victoria. They run the looong long services. The chairs are nice and soft and stuff.
Sadly was not able to have my #haveandadventure day today but when I am on holiday right up north I am hoping to do the Hadrians wall route followed by the Settle/Carlisle route and then possibly back up to Newcastle.
If you love Loco hauled services i bet you really love the class 68s!
Wooohooo surprise afternoon video upload!
Class 37 proper engine 😀😀 great video guys
Martin: Well done (!!) give depth to the show --- caught some good ones
John Talbot I only did the 37, the Nethertown shot was Geoff himself. I literally just got to the line as the 37 arrived. Fortunately had time to set up whilst it was in the platform (Foxfield station) and film its departure (the sound you hear on this is from a different feed)
Geoff should have asked the driver to play the imperial March tone
15:00 - That signal is showing a _very_ marginal Off aspect - the limit is 40 degrees, I believe, and it must be getting close to it... But another great video! Love the new music, especially.
NRSMS Part Z Z01
On -5 to 5
Wrong 5 to 35
Off 35 to 65.
AWS Energised 25 to 65
It USED to be 37.5. The Signal Arm Gauge I have is marked as such.
Thanks for the information! According to my handy protractor, it's about 30 degrees from the water pipe, but that probably isn't horizontal and the camera angle isn't calibrated. Shall we say "a bit marginal" instead?
Great episode folks with Steve Hammond Kaye's beloved CLASS 37 locomotive:
the original ravenglass and eskdale railway was 3 feet guage, to transport iron ore. the 15 inch was laid in 1915.
