"Just for fun, here's a view from the ground" is my favourite line ever from all your videos.

Humans are safe for awhile, AI can never replace Geoff Marshall!! His brain is unique - never change Geoff.

Script: As you can see, the floor is interesting As you can see, the bench is interesting As you can see, the station is basic As you can see, there is an old ticket machine (Shake your head in disbelief) As you can see, the field is interesting As you can see, the bridge is interesting (Wait for a lorry to pass and get wet)

I love it that it failed to mention the bungalow testing components for the Death Star on the village green at 10:29.

Dear Geoff, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for your recent video about the least used station in Lincolnshire. Your dedication to exploring and sharing such unique and lesser-known aspects of our region is truly commendable. Your video not only showcased the station itself but also shed light on its history and significance. It's evident that you put a lot of effort into your content, and your passion for exploring the hidden gems of Lincolnshire shines through in every frame. I found your video both informative and captivating. It's inspiring to see content creators like you who are committed to promoting local history and culture. Your video not only educated me about this little-known station but also sparked my curiosity to learn more about our beautiful county. I look forward to more of your videos, and I hope you continue to uncover and share fascinating stories about Lincolnshire. Your work is not only entertaining but also contributes to a deeper appreciation of our region's rich heritage. Once again, thank you, Geoff, for your dedication and for shining a spotlight on the least used station in Lincolnshire. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Warm regards, Chris

That was a hilariously wooden script. It didn't even give passenger numbers!!! Beautifully delivered though, Geoff.

I don't know why Geoff is complaining about AI. I have AI write all my KZfaq comments now, and they all come out Hippopotamus Cheeseburger perfectly.

The most obvious thing the AI missed is that it didn’t tell me to do passenger figures! So here they are: Just 68 passengers in the whole year for 2021/22, and even lower … just 10 (Ten!) passengers in 2020/21.

It was like the AI was trying to write a bad parody, so arguably Geoff did a great job following the script by delivering it satirically. I can't tell if that means the AI actually won??

I have to ask, how many shots did you have to throw out because you couldnt get through the script without laughing outright?

It felt very weird, you could tell Geoff was holding back a laugh the entire time.🤣

Geoff goes on holiday and explores the abandoned railways between South Korea and North Korea. ChatGPT produces a fun script

AI will never replace Geoff.

At 07:58 I was really hoping the AI was going to say "From down here, you can really appreciate the ticket machine" just for comedic effect

I enjoy that you have to tell AI not to lie, and then it does anyhow.

AI is a novelty worth trying - glad you aren't planning on doing it again though!

Interesting to see my Dad’s family’s town His Dad built the garage that’s at the top of Queen St, now a furniture shop. My great grandfather ran the forge on the same site from about 1900 until the early 20s It’s a lovely market town , with the rare thing in Lincolnshire - a steep hill.

I cracked up when the script started talking about how interesting the rubbish in the bin was! 😆

It produces anodyne copy that feels like it was written by a civil servant who wants nobody to read it, and confidently asserts complete fictions at random. This concept worked as a comparison because the result is not just misleading, but 75% less entertaining than a video full of Geoff's personality. So we can now fully appreciate the value of Geoff as a producer.

Just back from Kirton and parked by the Church where you did the piece to camera. Nice video yet again, definitely need more trains in this part of England. Some decent towns such as Louth sadly lost the railway here years ago.

I want to know about the giant satellite dish! Also I'd hoped that the AI had invented a least used station and could come up with one based on the previous set. How cool would that be?

There used to be a flat crossing at Retford before it was replaced with the current alignment of a High/ Low Level station. The former is reached by traversing the old station's Coal Drops. I remember Retford Station as a child as we used to change there when visiting my Geandparents in Worksop. It had an open coal fire in the Up Platform Waiting Room. The station is more famous for being visited by Bill Bryson when writing 'Notes from a Small Island". He thought it was a major town when he viewed the railmap ... it's not.

Oh Geoff, that was so funny. I always love your videos and that you always try and bring us all something a little different. I honestly couldn’t stop laughing, loved the way you read that script. Thank you, as always, for bringing us such brilliant railway videos.

Geoffrey, you know what you did. And I love it; your job's safe for a couple of months, I'm certain!!

It was more of an essay (GCSE level) than a script. You could definitely take bits out and Geoffarise it. The reason, and I agree Geoff, it was souless was you were reading the essay and not having a conversation with your viewer. Definitely shunt AI into the sidings and wait for Mr Beaching to give it the chop 😎

anyone else been checking to see if they missed a video just encase the notifications had broken 😂 welcome back geoff

What on Earth was that enormous radio telescope doing in the background?

What's with the giant satellite dish near the green? That's what I'm most curious about haha

I always like seeing a view from the ground, it really is interesting to see things from a different angle. 8:01

This video superbly demonstrates the soulless nature of AI. Without your enthusiasm Geoff, I would not watch. Keep up your great presentations.

At some oint I could hardly breathe from how much I laughed!! Thank you Geoff!!

Ooof if that's 'intelligence' I think we are safe. Geoff will always be the king of the train vids👍😄

That is an incredibly large name sign for the station on the road entrance, we have seen smaller at other better/less used stations.

Always interesting to see what's in the bin ... well G did have a regular feature on her videos of "What's in the bin" so the AI wasn't miles off 🤣

The Retford thing remains me of the overground thing at Hackney with 2 Hackney every time i am walking it at Retford i always think the walk at Hackney on overground 😂

It's always interesting to learn about the history of the region and the surrounding area!

I'm curious about the giant satellite 📡 dish over your shoulder when you were on the green - 10:32

I cannot lie this is incredible, funniest video ever

And it didn't mention that space telescope thingy in the background that I was half expecting Tom Baker to fall off!

Very amusing, and also really cool to see you in my home town of Retford! I haven't been back to that station in a while so I've only seen the shuttered shelters on platform 3/4 once and never seen the new walkway between the two sections. Hopefully it'll save on having to explain to people changing that no, really, I know it looks like you've walked into wilderness, you just have to keep going a bit more to get to the other platforms.

That was hilarious, Geoff! Still want to know where the ticket machine is 😜 your job is very much safe!

I chuckled all the way through I could see how much you loved the ai script. And the traffic 😂

This video was so so good Geoff, and truly demonstrates how important personality and character are! I have also been astonished at how much stuff ChatGPT just makes up. It's got a VERY VERY long way to go! Cheers for another entertaining video!

Thanks for highlighting Kirton Lindsey as the least used station in Lincolnshire! It's always fascinating to learn about these hidden gems on the railway network. Your videos bring attention to places that often go unnoticed, and I appreciate your dedication to showcasing the diversity of our railway system. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to your future explorations! 🚂👍 #RailwayAdventures #HiddenGems #LincolnshireRails (This comment was created by chatGPT)

All things considered, it's still an impressive script and AI is very fun to play around with. I imagine that it will get better and less soulless as it learns more things (I myself have had it generate some genuinely funny and surprising things), but I do hope that doesn't result in loss of jobs for people of course.

An holographic Geoff reading an AI generated script at a virtual railway station could be the future

This isn’t bad at all. It’s hilarious and factual. 😂 thanks for giving it a shot

I've suggested a journalist friend watches this. He is interested in the effect AI is having. Your crucifixion of AI is exquisite.

Did the Saturday only parliamentary service on that line a good few years ago when the word was it was going to be closed. The tunnel mouth you can see in the distance is castellated and looks really nice, beyond the tunnel is the signal box at Kirton Lime Sidings, which surely must be one of the tallest signalboxes still standing.

Hey chatGPT, has Geoff Marshall ever done a youtube video about Kirton Lindsey? As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Geoff Marshall, a well-known railway enthusiast and presenter on KZfaq, had not produced a video specifically about Kirton Lindsey railway station. However, it's worth noting that content creators like Geoff Marshall often explore a wide range of railway-related topics, stations, and lines in their videos, so it's possible that he may have covered Kirton Lindsey or similar subjects in subsequent videos. To find out if Geoff Marshall has created content related to Kirton Lindsey or any other specific topic, I recommend checking his KZfaq channel directly or using KZfaq's search feature to look for relevant videos. Keep in mind that content creators frequently update their channels with new videos, so it's possible that there may be more recent content available.

Laughed a lot, but not about the script, laughed about your reaction about this, err, soulless stuff 😄😄😅 I'm testing these days some AI based image editing. What should I say? Never saw so much sh** at once. So I am glad we are getting more original Geoff Marshall scropts in future 😎

That was hilarious! Geoff you are an entertainer (well you know that), but a self parody spoof is marvellous fun. Who'd have thought that such an uninteresting remote rain-swept railway station could generate the laughs you made from it (and AI - whatever that is). I dread to think what AI would make of Waterloo!

Geoff a great idea thanks for your usual interesting take on things. In one of the locations there was a rather large satellite dish in the background?

Missed the best attraction of all, the Ploughman up on the suitably named Train Gate. Was there last Wednesday, gloriously sunny. ;-)

Kirton Lindsey needs a train every one hour it would be so good to the tone and the people

Reminded me of Basil Fawlty when he was trying to be polite to the customer he thought was a hotel inspector. "It is to be found in the south wing, over-looking the courtyard, where there is, of course, ample parking."

nice to see you back Geoff!

Awesome Video Geoff

Keep to your own scripting Geoff, the GPTChat sounded more of a primary school child's, show and tell! Cheers for illustrating I'm not missing out on anything AI generated yet! Also thank you for your diligence in showing amazing places.

geoff this made me laugh out loud. I needed that. Thank you.

Love how Geoff hides a middle finger to AI in yet another interesting video, proving that we need him more than AI generated videos. Geoff, like you said videos are only good when you get an interesting story and the audience along with you with a soul and character. You get that right every time and I hope you keep this doing for a long time. Cheers 😊

I think ChatGPT was inspired! It directed you to film down into the bin bag, and that demonstrated a concern I had not thought of before. The bin bag had rain water in it. In a notoriously rainy climate, how do station clean up staff deal with bags constantly sloshing with rain water?

Looking forward to you doing a fun video of Burberry Street Station, Geoff, and what sort of job AI would make of renaming the stations on the whole tube network.

Like the old saying Why fix it if it's not broken. Keep up the great work Geoff 👍👍👍👍👍

Beautifully delivered a.i never replaced the 1 and only Geoff who does cracking videos Wonder if he did last a video on last ever long distance hst yesterday

I'm from Kirton - my parents still live there. I'd love to travel home by train a bit more but the service is so terrible I never bother. Managed it once... The hour long change at the time at Retford put me off doing it again! Nice to see the place on your video.

Yes, Geoff!!! Well done for solidly putting ChatHMV in its place!

It'a a self fulfilling prophecy when stations end up so little used when there's one train over day!

i need the passenger stats‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Always sad when you see another set of tracks slowly disappearing into the undergrowth. If you build it! They will come!

Gainsborough Lea Road station didn't have a ticket machine until late 2022, even though it is by far used more than Gainsborough Central which did, so I'm not surprised that Kirton station doesn't. (GLR is operated by EMR.) Also, Central has a much bigger car park than Lea Road.

Interestingly Gainsborough Central at one point had an hourly service for about a year between 2019 and 2020 (maybe a bit longer) between Gainsborough Central and Sheffield. Then when that idiotic virus hit the service was suspended. But still had the 3/w Saturday service including Brigg and Kirton (for some reason didn't get the hourly service). Now I have a feeling the 2/d service at Gainsborough Central, Brigg and Kirton are possibly trail services for an hourly service in the future.

As with many other professions which involve interaction with real people, they can only be replaced by AI when the customers are also robots! Glad you made your point, I have been trying to make it in a different area for years.

What kind of litter accumulates at lesser known stations? Rain-water, principally. I was intrigued to learn this.

I live in brigg and never knew kirton had a station

That's an impressive dish.

As I watched, I was thinking of a reply. Then post AI, you said almost exactly what I was thinking! AI is immensely clever. But I wouldn’t want to watch its videos! Geoff - I’m afraid you can’t retire yet!

Great job Geoff!

Hi Geoff went to Cleethorpes with the deltic a few weeks ago. Saw a 30ft Thunderbird 3 at Lincs airport.

oh dear, I have never wanted to click off a video as much as this. The AI really fell hard here. It felt like it was trying to write a londonist Secrets of the London Underground video. Well done for completing it without breaking into laughter.

That station layout looks very similar to Worcestershire Parkway: two lines happening to cross in the middle of nowhere, so someone built a big wayside halt out of scraps of security fencing with an ages long walk in X Y Z directions such that it might as well be two stations.

Towards Cleethropes 1:45 lol

Awww Retford was my home station. Yep them low level platforms are a hell of a sprint if you're late. Never went through Gainsborough Central as a kid because nothing ran through there! So cool to see more trains through it now. And nothing will replace the real Geoff xD

It's tragic to realise that the Brigg line used to be the main line between Manchester and Cleethorpes! Anyone up for St Pancras to Cleethorpes services (stopping after Gainsborough)?!😅

Priceless!

Cool. A new video. Been looking forward to it.

I might show your video to my line managers at work who think ‘ai is going to be a huge opportunity for us’…

This has to be the best Worms Eye View of a platform on a least used station on KZfaq ever.

It has a great sense of humour, though - it did make you lie down in the wet! ;)

I was on the train from Inverness to London Kings Cross the other day and the people at my table were taking about AI. Interesting to see it used in the way but I agree, telling your own story is far more interesting.

It missed an important fact! I was confused in the extreme! There are two towns/villages called Kirton in Lincolnshire! I used to travel by ambulance every week from the village of Pinchbeck to Boston for physiotherapy. We passed through a village. called Kirton just outside Boston. Itb used to have a railway station and I got `all excited thinking you' 'd used AI to recreate that Kirton station!

Thank you, Geoff; particularly the outro sent an important message. …as did the unnecessary repetition of the words “immediate vicinity” 😩

I adore this episode, especially the AI mansplaning of the elements of your schtick.

Probably the first useful guide to what AI can do that I've seen. Thanks for this, Geoff. There may be some areas AI will benefit the human race (i.e. medical research) but as for replacing the articulations of the human voice? Nah.

Hahaha! AI Sony Take your work away Anytime soon! But it’s still a fun video and it is intresting how far AI has come. Hat off to you for stepping out of your regular format and do this fun video!

Hilarious! What a brilliant idea. And thankfully only some aspects of the AI script remind me of the scripts I write for my own channel 😛

I was visited in January when line re opened on Saturday only I think by looking at numbers last year I think it Thorpe covrbet as Lincolnshire it more least used then Hevenhouse in last year numbers

The AI never had a chance on the I love Geoff show 😮 Geoff read it out like a hostage statement 😊 I do like Geoff's work 'mostly' 😉

Thank you Geoff for demonstrating why AI must not be allowed to replace humans. Such a painful script 🥴 As you said at the end ………. soulless .

Thank you.
