- Today we bring you along- Through the Hedge- on a very special rail journey. Starting at Kidderminster we travel by steam train all the way to Bridgnorth. It's a stunning journey that takes us over the River Severn and the Staffordshire and Worcestershire canal.
After a quick lunch in Bridgnorth it's time to board the steam train again to travel to the train museum at Highley railway station.

so glad you enjoyed your day it was fantastic weather I know I was your driver on 75069 that day
Really? You were our driver? That is awesome.
Land locked in Texas, your Narrowboat and through the Hedge experiences are the best Sunday morning escape! There needs to be a Texas sized "like" button for your vlogs.
Just a bit information for you guy's Arley station is actually the station they filmed the British comedy oh Dr Beeching with the cast from Hi De Hi 😊
If i could press the like button more than once i would, what a stunning line......to sum it up in one word i would say "lovely".

I'm a relatively new subscriber and still catching up, hence being 8 months late with the comment 🙂. Loving the videos but couldn't let this one pass without a comment, imagine my surprise and delight to see this one on your channel, I was born, and grew up in Highley, now home to the engine house. I now live and work in Bridgnorth. That was the best mini documentary I have seen on the Seven Valley Railway, which is about to restart following the lockdown. Fantastic stuff ladies.
Glad you like them!
Aren't Steam Trains so romantic, they're almost living things,... Loved the video, xxx
LIKE MISS WINTER THOUGHT, WHO PASSED IN 1975, HAVING LIVED AT HAVENSTREET STATION COTTAGES AND PUT UP I AND A FRIEND AFTER THE VERY LAST BR STEAM TRAIN ON THE ISLE OF WIGHT SUNDAY 31 DEC 1966 WITH FISHBOURNE TO SHANKLINE AND BACK, SAID THE LOCO ANSWERED HER BY WHISTLING WHEN SHE SAID THEY SHOULD HAVE NOT CLOSED THE COWES LINE, WHEN WE WERE ON THE VERY LSAST TRAIN FROM RYDE TO COWES AND BACK VIA ONE OF THE 3 UIK MILL HILL STATIONS ON SUNDAY 21 FEB 1966.
So glad you liked it.
Spent many happy weekends on Severn Valley Railway, my favourite station is Arley where you can walk down to the river for tea. We used to take a steam traction engine to Arley for the railway gala weekend.
Yes, I wanted to stop at Arley but there just wasn't enough time. Thanks for commenting please considering clicking the share button on this video- that helps us out tremendously.
Love the old steam trains, my Dad was a fireman on the GWR during WW2 on ammunition trains going to Birmingham during the bombings!
Commuting into London on some of the tired dog eared carriages some years back, I recall the joy of getting a whole compartment all to yourself. :-)
You're usually smiling in your videos, but here you're both grinning ear to ear! charming upload ladies - who on earth could downvote this?
Very true, it was a stunning day.
The best part of this video was watching you both enjoying the great train ride
Thanks for the hart you both are =really great together
Another heart- thank you
"We have to open the door ourselves at the end of the line" LOL, yup.
As Kath said, real carriages have the latch on the outside just like real schoolboys would never wait for a train to completely stop before decamping. And yet, somehow we lived . . .
Great episode! So good to see Ana's enthusiasm at a new experience, you both look like you had a great day and you got a great loco for your fist steam ride, the West country are one heck of a loco. SVR is a wonderful place.
PS: It's a compartment you are sitting in, the entire vehicle is a carriage but no doubt someone has pointed that out in the past year..
Best "Through the Hedge" so far. Still trying to wrap my head around sticking your head out of a bike......lol You both are just great, thanks for sharing your journey!
Just a little joke lol
You'll never complain about having to fill your water tank again :D

Well that was a blast from the past, as I went there on a date with a (hoped for) girlfriend when I was 16 and living in Shrewsbury. That was ....oh at least 45 years ago and I loved the trains. She didn't - so we went our separate ways. Toot!!
Oh Girls, that was the best Through the Hedge yet!! 😍😁 What a wonderful day and how romantic!! Thank you so much for sharing that with us :)) 😍💕😁👍
Wow 'the best', we'll take it. Thanks for commenting please considering clicking the share button on this video- that helps us out tremendously.
I went the whole length non-stop with the newly built engine, Tornado. It was my first ride behind a steam engine and they just did straight there-and-back runs so that they could get some speed. Wow - not the creaky wooden carriages for that journey! It was lovely, in the Winter so they connected steam pipes and the carriages were warm, just lacking some pipe smoke to complete the atmosphere.
Thanks for taking us along! What a fun train trip. You'll think I'm crazy, but much of it made me think of Thomas the tank engine. My daughter loved Thomas. The first time I took her to see a real train she was frightened by the immense size of the train.
The train is quite a monster really, and I think that is why it is so captivating. Like when you have to approach a plane on a tarmac. Thanks for commenting please considering clicking the share button on this video- that helps us out tremendously.
Awww I've loved watching this Through the Hedge vlog, thank you both !!! The railway stations reminded me of the local one to me when I was little, going with my Mam to visit my Grandma on a Saturday...there was a sweetie machine, either on the platform or in the waiting room, where you turned a handle and got mini boxes of Toffets...the things you remember 😄 lol
The butterfly was a train-nerd too! ... soooo much faster than a narrowboat ... reminds me of the trains I grew up with in OZ ... a long time ago. :D ... a bit of trivia - what you would call a compartment, we called, 'dogboxes'. ... What a wonderful 'Through The Hedge'!
SO glad you liked it, thanks for the extra info
I love the chugging of a steam train and the smell of the smoke. Glorious. What a lovely day out. Well done too on such beautiful clear camera work, its almost as if I was there.
Thankyou so very much for this. Great nostalgic viewing.
I’m from Worcester and now live in Australia and I miss the SVR greatly.
Ive been on the Severn Valley Railway a few times and its well worth the money. They used to do Santa specials nearer Christmas for the kids.
It is well worth the money- you are right.
Extremely pleasant. Very tasty to look at. Also very well filmed. Precise, useful, charming, poetical. Thank you very much.
I grew up with a railway in our back yard in Wisconsin (USA) and we would pick up loose coal from the tracks that would fall off the trains as they went down the tracks.
Just watch your video on this old train. 8/ 17/21 Excellent video. Love to see old trains come back to life. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
What a lovely video! The weather was lovely,the trains were monsters, the countryside perfect. I don't know why exactly but it brought Agatha Christie to mind. Maybe it was the posh carriage and the posh people!!! A gem of a day to remember.
Good to see the Gresley magic working again. The teak carriages on your first run were LNER Gresley stock - superb things - and their running gear was very special too :-) Thanks for the post :-)
Everyone is chuffed 💭💭to bits in the comments 😉
Applause- best pun.
We went to the 1940s weekend in 2018, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. SVR is one of the best heritage railways we've been to. Providing it still is possible to go to the UK after Brexit, we'll be back in 2021, on a hire boat. SVR is most definitely a stop on that cruise. We liked Highley the most, but Bridgnorth is not a bad second. We did not venture too far into town; the railway was very busy and occupied most of our attention. Oh, and a "train" is made up of the engine and the coaches. I think you talked about the engine as the "train". Just a minor nit. Thanks for making me remember that wonderful summer day.
Yes, it is a great journey isn't it.
Really like the "Through the hedge" series

that's just fantastic!
Love the ride
Visited summer 2009 in the school holidays very busy as it was a wet day and we were standing in the corridor. When we went though the tunnel approaching Kidderminster it entertaining with the shouts as thick smoke came in the open windows and even between the floorboards in places. The tourist board should pay you for the "through the hedge" videos. Well done.
Was it standing room only in the school holidays? Oh wow.
What a beautiful trip!
omg wow I just did the steam train from mount barker to victor harbor in Adelaide Australia was just the best, if you get a chance to watch the Griff Rhys Jones Doco when he is his Australian tour I am on there woohoo lol i am the 6th episode footy and all and the steam train brilliant
Awesome video. Thanx
Awesome train 🚂
oh my how awesome!
The inclined car is like the one in Pittsburgh Pa USA. Rode a train like that in Germany. Love trains. Loved your trip, Thanks from NE Ohio USA.

A wonderful video thank you.
A great Through the Hedge .
This is a wonderful trip ... love trains
Great Railway photography!
train spotter love this blog thanks
Thanks for showing the train ride. Loved it! So different than us trains.
This was a great thru the hedge. So beautiful.
Awesome!
I love trains. Nifty video.
A pleasant trip in such very pleasant company. Thank you both. Such a pleasure to watch.
A lovely video as I love the steam railway experience, its much like the narrowboats as its breathing life back into bygone eras. A loco like Taw Valley can cost upwards of 300k to restore when its boiler certificate runs out and a tender of coal costs upwards of 1k so bums on seats keep these places going. Long may these places as with canals survive
I didn't know the cost for the boiler, however I did feel that my rail ticket was value for money and a weekend pass would be even better. Thanks for commenting please considering clicking the share button on this video- that helps us out tremendously.
Yep been to all those towns many times over the years - fab vlog girls
Great vlog! Terrific ride.
Glad you liked it
Very nice video. Thanks for cheering it.
Awesome watch. Thank you for sharing your experience on the SVR, bringing back so many wonderful memories of a trip we had there in 2017.
Been there many times as its quite local, A great day out
Spent 20 years until my (age limited !) retirement on the SVR and my last driving turn was on Taw Valley. Nice to see you enjoyed it as Heritage railways, like canals are all part of that important transport history of the UK. All due due enthusiastic volunteers keeping it alive
Excellent Through the Hedge. You share both my interests: canal boating and steam trains❤️ (though I did my trainspotting in the 80's with diesels and have some favourites - unfortunately most of those diesels locos have also been scrapped like nearly all the steam engines were!!). Well done to the preserved railway groups around the country that keep the history and atmosphere of times-gone-by alive👍
Oh really- scrapped- that is sad.
You two are a hoot, always enjoy your videos!!
Thank you. x
Awesome RR footage. Steamers are my favorite.
Wow I love I wish I could see those trains love it
They were lovely
What a great thru the hedge. Loved seeing the steam train.

Greta video. Brought back lots of memories of my visit there in 2000.
Enjoyable vlog that a great way to spend your day.....thanks for sharing
I have read in a lot of books about the old steam trains and their carriages but your video brings it alive and is full of eyecatching moments. Thanks for this.
A wonderful Through The Hedge. Thanks for the ride!

You're so welcome Scott, we really had you in mind during the episode and hoped that you would like it. Take care, x
@@TheNarrowboatExperience Aww, thanks! Y'all are so sweet.
Best through the hedge ever. Great videoing especially steam engine refuelling. Keep up the good work.
Lovely, best through the hedge ever. I can smell the steam!
agree.
Annamarie you have the best bride ever! She wants to go to steam engine museums and the like! Looked my whole life for a partner like that and alas never found one, Cath is a real keeper...do you fellas like steam and vintage fairs too? This was a truly great video, loved it...many thanks...
love steam trains great vlog well done girls

Train trip looked wonderful! Looks like a must if we ever get over there! 😊
Wonderful video, pleased you managed to film funicular rail at Bridgenorth
yes Annamarie you are what we say it England are train spotter as thats what it is called here, the carriage you were in from Bridgenorth to Highley they were our best carriages in the days on the early electric and diesel trains as you didn't have passengers walking past you and knocking into you while you were sat down as that corridor was designed to make it easier to walk down the train and easier for the passengers sitting down and quietness if you dint want a lot of noise from people talking, also the idea of the corridor was so that if someone is carrying hot drinks from the buffet car then they wouldn't spill it on seated passenger whenever the train jolted, I prefer these carriages more than the carriages we have on the modern trains as they seem to be more cramped than those of the corridor carriages at least you weren't cramped in and easier to vacate the train, I wish these carriages were still being used today as I actually hate today carriages I feel claustrophobic in them and with having a disability they dont help whereas these carriages in the video would help at least with the compartments they only seated 6-8 passengers in each compartment and had room to stretch out your legs a little bit where todays carriages dont except for the table seats
This was wonderful. Thanks for taking us along.
You're welcome, thank you for attending. x
Fabulous job ladies! Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for taking the time to make this video for us to be able to ride along with you… Just super! 😊💖
I love steam trains! I get such a feeling of nostalgia. Thanks for sharing.

Steam trains make me so happy. Thank you for sharing this adventure with us.
So glad you liked it, Thank you for coming through the hedge with us.
Great video. I always look forward to your new stuff. The steam train stuff is fun. I particularly liked the bit where the worker was having so much trouble with the water fill.
What a glorious day out at the end of summer in the UK. I can hear the steam train whistle from my home if the wind is in the west.
Thank you for a wonderful trip through the hedge this will be my most favorite so far.

Through the Hedge seems like it's a show about you guys exploring while you're mooring.
Sure is
You missed the Safari Park at Bewdley! You can see various animals as you go past. Great vlog!

What an excellent day out. The railway is so neat and tidy. Those carriages look really comfortable. All the old infrastructure is a gem too. I'd love a visit.
Wow, that was amazing. A real revelation. Something else for my bucket list. Thanks for sharing girls xx
You are very welcome
I just love the SVR - it's one of my favourite preserved steam railways here in the UK. My family & I did a similar day trip to yours back in October 2017 after a week's cruising the Stourport ring from Droitwich Spa marina. Looking forward to seeing he video of your trip on the River Severn !!
Great stuff girls look forward to your next adventure. From New Zealand
glad you had a wonderful day in bridgnorth and the SVR, im lucky enough to live in bridgnorth and visit the station quite often, shame i missed you , we also missed you at llangollen when you where moored up there ,
Third times a charm maybe. lol. It is a lovely place Bridgnorth, we really enjoyed that stop.
Thank you soooooo much for posting this wonderful video! Nancy and I thouroghly enjoyed it!!!!
very kind, thanks
Lots of memories just came flooding back, as a very small boy, my grandad was a wheel tapper at Manchester and we used to go and see him. Great vlog as always x
Glad you had some lovely memories
