- It's a short one, and I'm off on wanderings for the first time in a while... I'm sharing some thoughts on early railways and the need to push back on the oversimplified narratives associated with the Stockton and Darlington Railway and 1825 as a false date of the "start" of railways.

It may just be my warped mind, but the term "scheduled ancient monument" conjures the image of checking a timetable to see when the next ancient monument is due
I mean, Northern run plenty of "Ancient monuments" 🤣
The (pre)history of early railways! I could watch a whole series or two on this.
oh you better believe this is only the first of many, it'll be a big theme next year
@@GarethDennisTV Ohh, Intresting, and sadly underexplored part of train history
I like this walking about in nature looking at stuff natter, also really looking forward to the part2 / spruce version / edit
Currently watching this on DB WiFi outside Wuppertal Hbf whilst in Germany for the Euros - whenever I look up from my phone screen I see the Schwebebahn. I’m starting to stop agreeing with you about gadgetbahns bad, it’s so twee and fun 🤣
With the supply of more new trains to the London area, more of the high mileage Electrostars need to be cascaded to the North. This requires the acceleration of programme of electrification in Yorkshire, including between Selby and Leeds and Leeds and Halifax.
Yay!! The Causey Arch is one of my favourite structures and not celebrated nearly enough
Very interesting Gareth as all your videos are, but I'm surprised there was no mention of the world's first steam locomotive to travel on rails.
That happened in 1804! But only a step on that path as steam powered road wagons had already been trialled from the 1790s.
An Interesting analysis. Promoted as a public general-purpose railway, the S&DR didn't progress technically beyond contemporary colliery tramways. It is the first widely known achievement of the Stephenson dynasty though, and the firm probably used the reference widely in subsequent publicity and bids, perhaps another reason it has become so firmly entrenched as an origin myth. A glorified colliery tramway, an embodiment of the state of the art, accomplished competently by an individual and firm that would play a major part in the true revolution later.
Tanfield Railway alive and well, Gala is weekend coming 😊
"I'm not going to describe them as high speed railways at this point". That pan was magnificent haha!
What is the current state of play with connecting the two stations in Bradford to improve connectivity in Yorkshire?
Ramblings might be a better description of the chat..... Rather than the walk....
welcome to the format
Much of the UK electricity is generated at the Drax power station near Selby, why is it not being used to electrify the local railways of Yorkshire, e.g., between Selby and Hull.
