A glitch in the matrix means that we're aware of the "Analysing!" message at 40 seconds in, we tried to correct it by uploading another version, but more gremlins meant that it didn't work. Don't let that distract you from enjoying another episode of All The Stations! Thanks.
The stations of my parents. Grandparents lived in Abbey Wood, used to take me to Woolwich & Greenwich but mainly by bus, uncle is still there, dad lived in Blackheath for years, brother has lived in Charlton & Bromley. So thank you again for the sights and memories
I'm living in Deptford and I see the railway from my bedroom window. I had no idea about the history before watching this video, but I think it's pretty cool that it's that old. Thanks for the history lesson guys. :)
Question - is there ever going to be a longer version of All The Stations where we can actually find our own favourite station and then see footage of you going there? My station is East Dulwich, and I was looking forward to seeing that one on this episode, but it cut straight from Tulse Hill to Peckham Rye. Understandable, as the episodes are just the right length and interesting as a result, but being able to see the longer versions would be nice too.
Brilliant Format (!!) really like the new opening -very punchy, builds excitement throughout. Will: your doing a great job tying elements to the audio track, overall you've given the package pizzazz (!!) Best Wishes for a killer show ....
spa road station building & remaining part of the platforms are still in tact, the remaining part of the rold station is currently used by rail workers as an access point whilst carrying out Thameslink Project works, itside priter road industral arches, still has old writing on outside of entrance.
This particular video is like coming home to me! (Well, I live in Devon now but I grew up in South East London, just up the road from St. John's station). Thanks for uploading this!
It just repeats 'All the stations - all of them' over and over, yeah. Probably won't get to number 1 on i-Tunes, but as an intro jingle it works quite well I think.
I was in London a couple of months back and it was nice seeing one of the stations I used most (Eltham 4x used) and the fact you guys travelled on the 161 bus which ironically is the only bus I used in my trip can't wait to see other stations I used such as Waterloo, Waterloo East, Clapham Junction, Twickenham and Peckham Rye. then of course my local stations over here in South Wales if you're doing those lines
I really want to be playing the 'All The Stations' music and my family's parrot to join in and start singing 'All The Stations, All The Stations' haha! Wouldn't that just be great - if only he could talk...
Loved this video! Am starting to feel a bit homesick for London, and have added Spa Road to our list of transport sites to visit next time we are in the U.K.
My old going to school journey to Waterloo East in one vid, 161 Bus to Eltham or Eltham (Well Hall) as it was then (There was also a Eltham Park station). Cheers great vids!!!
I remember when I was a kid going to the London Transport museum they had a tube train simulator their with a full drivers cab you could try your hand at driving a tube train on. I thought it was epic back before the days of simulators on PC's.
Take a train to/from London Bridge on the closest lines to where Geoff was standing at 6:38 (platforms 1,2 and 3 at London Bridge (for Cannon Street)). Is that the remains of the abandoned station between London Bridge and New Cross/Deptford?
They've certainly knocked the guts out of Abbey Wood station haven't they? There's virtually nothing left of the old station now. The two "outer edge" platforms have been replaced by an island platform for South Eastern services, and a second island platform is now being installed as the "Elizabeth Line" terminus. (I think I prefer the "Crossrail" name too Geoff). Be nice when finished. Also, I'm hobbling around with a bad leg at the moment, so whilst at Abbey Wood station recently I opted to use the temporary lift. It's very slow, and you have to hold your finger on the "ascend" button for the whole duration, else the lift stops!!
The logo covered up at 5:06, is it the Overground Network? And by the way, in another video I saw that at Spa Road just around the corner, there are still the bricked up Booking Office windows, sadly you didn't see them.
They moved to Gillespie Road and got the local railway company to rename the local station after their team: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenal_tube_station#/media/File:Arsenal_tube_station_interior.jpg
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe I read that the original London railway used 6 million bricks to build and brought construction to a halt in the city due to brick shortage.
All The Stations amazing how quickly you moved from Cornwall to Brighton, and how bogged down you get in London, didn't really have a grasp of just how many stations there are in London until that.
You mean you Southerners had to wait until 1836 for the iron Road? There is a Gravestone near me commemorating someone who died in 1847, the 17th year of the New Iron age it says, I think that shows the excitement that Railways made at the time Love the videos
Nice to see Sidcup getting a name check in this video - makes up for not getting one when you actually meant to go there! Next time(!) you're out London Bridge way, look out for Spa Road platforms, because bits of them are still extant!
A few years ago, there was an error in the National Rail timetable which showed a couple of trains as stopping at Spa Road! Needless to say when I tried them out I was disappointed....
Shame you didn't show the remains of the Spa Road platforms. You can clearly see them on trains that travel on the tracks that continue through London Bridge to Canon Street/Charring Cross.
Yeah, I saw this. I was hoping for a map showing the lines/routes taken each day, including backtracking etc. It's difficult to see which way you went with just pins on the map.
Hyphen Doubleyou Do you realise the official videos are 4/5 days behind? They're trying not to bump into too many people as they're busy shooting footage and taking pictures.
My granddad told me they used to call that route 'the 500 arches' and there was a foot path along the whole thing. They should have kept that foot path
Ahh Barnehurst. 03:30 Start of the train that never was - Barnehurst to Blackfriars 08:14 Cancelled so many times in the 80s the Capital Radio Breakfast Show released a song about it...th-cam.com/video/QkzvIMiyx8c/w-d-xo.html
Unless there is a station called Aardvark Wood, or worse still ABBA Wood, Abbey Wood would (sorry about that) indeed be the first alphabetically. I live in New Zealand, and am only saying this through information learned by osmosis, so I await someone smarter than I to pull me up...

All The Stations If you see the same black cat twice in quick succession, it means they've changed something. Check your exits!
I didn't even notice. I'll have to rewatch that bit to check.
I thought you'd added it in on purpose - assumed it was some obscure British joke that I didn't get.
Someone screwed up warp stabilizer.
@@NorfKhazad *StabiliSer
I like how st John's only two trains an hour is considered limited service... That'd be intensive here in North Yorkshire!
In Scotland it would be like rush hour.
Well，maybe West Yorkshire is a little busier than North Yorkshire
Great Series Geoff & Vicki. As a driver for Southeastern I know these lines all to well.
works 9989 they just missed recording bexleyheath, that’s my local station! Been there?
I heard the London Bridge staff talking about you guys on Tuesday morning :)
ha! brilliant... in a nice way, we hope?
@@randolphclarke4674 What is wrong with you.
i am LOVING this series!
I love how Vicki pronounced Eltham (It's pronounced Elt-ham) :-) and they went to Blackheath (one of my local stations) :)
Same, :)
I am so glad other people clocked this! Aha :P
Same
I’m close by too!
“Eltham” trips up traffic reporters up and down the country whenever the A2 gets chock-a-block :)
Lovely vid! Geoff, when you were doing the Spa Road spot you just slipped into your "Secrets of" persona - obviously on familiar turf and loving it!
The stations of my parents. Grandparents lived in Abbey Wood, used to take me to Woolwich & Greenwich but mainly by bus, uncle is still there, dad lived in Blackheath for years, brother has lived in Charlton & Bromley. So thank you again for the sights and memories
This was one of your best episodes so far. I'm gonna go up through London Bridge tomorrow so this is very well timed.
Excellent video! i watched it while on a London Midland train to Birmingham.
When I went to London 4 years ago me and my cousin stayed in the ibis hotel which is next to the station and got a picture behind the cutty sark
Also the Greenwich Marine museum is Amazing 😉
4:19, wow, this Class 465 is giving it some when pulling out of Woolwich Dockyard, or is it clever editing? Yet its so good.
A Class 465 is very powerful, but not that powerful, so it has to be editing.
I'm living in Deptford and I see the railway from my bedroom window. I had no idea about the history before watching this video, but I think it's pretty cool that it's that old. Thanks for the history lesson guys. :)

Agreed!
I’m actually a Hayes local. The station is a very popular trainspotting location. I have seen many people trainspotting at hayes

All of "my patch" when growing up in South-East London - and occasionally today. Thanks for visiting my adopted station - twice :-)
spa road station building & remaining part of the platforms are still in tact, the remaining part of the rold station is currently used by rail workers as an access point whilst carrying out Thameslink Project works, itside priter road industral arches, still has old writing on outside of entrance.
Nice side tour of Greenwich. Good to see a few of the sites you pass through. Hope there is time for more.
Love the brick walls on cuttings, and at stations e.g. Woolwich Dockyard.
Yay! You featured my closest bus stop and the main road that runs behind my home :)
Growing up in SE London we would refer to St John's as "Except St John's" due to the announcements at the stations
Richard Keep I remember that announcement from my Eden Park days!
Ah, I work in Eltham, albeit in Australia. :-) Saw a couple of comments about its pronouncement, but Vicky said it as we do.
This particular video is like coming home to me! (Well, I live in Devon now but I grew up in South East London, just up the road from St. John's station). Thanks for uploading this!
You didn't do bristol Parkway but you did bristol T Meads which is one of my favourite stations well done 🚄
4:50 "we're basically riding through a brick-lined ditch. I love it!" This is almost as bad as Vicki's love of Pacers.
Last episode I finally realised the song says "All the Stations" over and over. (I'm a little slow haha)
It just repeats 'All the stations - all of them' over and over, yeah. Probably won't get to number 1 on i-Tunes, but as an intro jingle it works quite well I think.
JD the Trainspotter - yup, it took me about 10 of these videos to realise this!
Jan Verschueren Sometimes, it just omits the 'all of them' part.
And who is the now famous voice? Is it Steve or Geoff?
It's Londarn, innit! - lol. Didn't know about Spa Road, thanks for that Geoff, BTW the outtakes at the end are most amusing.

6:58 that archway bridge looks like the 1 at Newcastle
most interesting one yet. more like this please guys
Loved this video! Am starting to feel a bit homesick for London, and have added Spa Road to our list of transport sites to visit next time we are in the U.K.
I'd also recommend The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.

You came to station wow didnt ever expect my station to come up on your list of stops woolwich arsenal love your videos
Message from the future. Cross Rail is now open and Abbey Wood looks great.
Take a train to/from London Bridge on the closest lines to where Geoff was standing at 6:38 (platforms 1,2 and 3 at London Bridge (for Cannon Street)). Is that the remains of the abandoned station between London Bridge and New Cross/Deptford?
The best video so far in this series! And on arrival in Hayes, try the Indian restaurant in the station parade!
That's normal for me 2 trains an hour in Oxfordshire
They've certainly knocked the guts out of Abbey Wood station haven't they? There's virtually nothing left of the old station now.

love the video guys brilliant 😀
You went through my stations!! Saarf London innit
Depford is home to a lift bridge on the railway. Sadly no longer in operation but preserved
In 1957, there was a very bad train crash in Lewisham.
haha thats so cool woolwich arsenal is my local station
didn't Woolich arsenal used to have a football club? does anybody know what happened to them? perhaps you can spur me on with an answer
james brown yes, the royal Arsenal. They moved to Islington in 1913. There was also Millwall
james brown I see what you did there that was cheeky
Oh shit i just caught that! Maybe because you were talking about spurring I didn't gave a shit.
They moved to Gillespie Road and got the local railway company to rename the local station after their team:

Episode 11 already? It feels like the first episode came out yesterday. I'm almost sad now that I know that it's just gonna end sooner and sooner.
ha! thanks Krister. well there's still ten more weeks to go, and around 70 more Episodes, so i think you're gonna be good for a while....
All The Stations amazing how quickly you moved from Cornwall to Brighton, and how bogged down you get in London, didn't really have a grasp of just how many stations there are in London until that.
Blackheath! my aunts local station, been there a few times
You mean you Southerners had to wait until 1836 for the iron Road? There is a Gravestone near me commemorating someone who died in 1847, the 17th year of the New Iron age it says, I think that shows the excitement that Railways made at the time
Love the videos
These are great. Which episode number features Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington, Driffield, Beverley and Hull please?
Oddly, we have a street called Lewishamstraße in Berlin Charlottenburg. Nobody here knows how to pronounce Lewisham, though.
Nice to see Sidcup getting a name check in this video - makes up for not getting one when you actually meant to go there! Next time(!) you're out London Bridge way, look out for Spa Road platforms, because bits of them are still extant!
A few years ago, there was an error in the National Rail timetable which showed a couple of trains as stopping at Spa Road! Needless to say when I tried them out I was disappointed....
The building at 6:50 looks like alexanderplatz bhf, but without the arched roof
Oh dear! St Johns now has 6 trains an hour Mon-Sat, and has done for a few years. Great work though.
Abbey wood does have a wood shelter
Geoff Marshall we are at number one . we are doing
Welcome to London's Weirdest Tube Station .This is Sudbury and Harrow Road .
Shame you didn't show the remains of the Spa Road platforms. You can clearly see them on trains that travel on the tracks that continue through London Bridge to Canon Street/Charring Cross.
Is / was Hayes the only station with place to park your bike ON the platforms?
St John's has 8 trains and hour. 2 from cannon street to orpington and vica versa and 2 trains that you were on
1:41 There is none one train at St John's and Cannon Street trains stop there every day.
Nice! Like the little Spa Road potted history - I think these vids are enhanced if you do manage to do a little bit of history on somewhere you visit.
I live in barnehurst
I was thinking London would be the easiest part of the trip, how wrong I am lol
Wow, Hayes is my local! Annoyed to hell I didn't see you!
Noooo! I missed you. I was around the Cutty Sark today.
you realise these videos are running a few days behind .. right?
Yes. It must take a few days to send the SD card and edit the vids.
this has been on 3 times on secret of the trams and the least used station in london and all the stations
St. John’s might be the least used station on southeastern
I've just starting watching these videos. Are there maps on the website that show your daily routes?
Have a look at: www.allthestations.co.uk/map/
Then using the dropdown menus, filter by date ...
Yeah, I saw this. I was hoping for a map showing the lines/routes taken each day, including backtracking etc. It's difficult to see which way you went with just pins on the map.
Dammit you two! I was in Hayes THE DAY BEFORE!! I think I'm unlikely to bump into you at all now! :(
Hyphen Doubleyou Do you realise the official videos are 4/5 days behind? They're trying not to bump into too many people as they're busy shooting footage and taking pictures.
Ham Street yep, they were there Tues. I was there Mon ;)
Hyphen Doubleyou That's why they're not publishing the route that they are taking; people would bug them too much.
I get the Hayes line from clock house when I go to Waterloo east! Have you been on the Victoria - Orpington line yet?
Yes, he lives on it actually
My granddad told me they used to call that route 'the 500 arches' and there was a foot path along the whole thing. They should have kept that foot path
El - Tham station?..Its Eltem - Eltham......happy new year..
Watching in June 2018.
Love that in London, "going in to town" is visiting the Shard.
Town where I live is a shifty high street and 4 equally shitty nightclubs and Bingo.
There's a bridge like that in aberdeen
Ahh Barnehurst. 03:30 Start of the train that never was - Barnehurst to Blackfriars 08:14
Cancelled so many times in the 80s the Capital Radio Breakfast Show released a song about it...th-cam.com/video/QkzvIMiyx8c/w-d-xo.html
people in my family was called Hayes
Geoff
Did you even pass Kidbrooke on this day or not?
where is blackheath? I see it in the intro but i can't find it in the video
Quack quack London Bridge
anybody know what's the name of the background music?
Why didn't you film Clock House? My local station
we filmed and photographed all the stations.
Uiuy

When are the new Crossrail trains in operation?
very soon! next week, we hear!
Innit, proper Yorkshire
Welcome to my home county boys

Fun Fact: Blackheath is the birth place of Sir Richard Branson(the founder of the Virgin group).
What's the pdf Geoff has on his phone with all the rail lines on it
MrAwesomeApple You can download loads of different PDFs of the rail network: www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations_destinations/maps.aspx
