"To The Chuff Chuffs" sounds like the title of a spin off series, where you two go around visiting all of the heritage railways in the UK.

The video is worth it just because of the look Vicki shoots during the outtake.

Vicki's expression @ "Rover Ticket" I believe is a universal look that women use as I've seen my wife use that same look! Good one Geoff!

Wait.... Where do I recognise that couple at the end? Are they on KZfaq??

All the Heritage Railways and Stations. A series that wants to happen. Don't wait too long or Paul and Rebecca...

I was born in Minehead in 1947 and lived in the area until I was about 12. The Minehead branch (as it was in those days, part of BR Western Region) was my childhood railway and I used to love the journey into Taunton and back. Friends of my parents (a local auctioneer & his wife) looked after me after I had been very ill and my parents were both very ill and organised a visit to Blue Anchor signal box for me. Even in those days I was an anxious traveller and turned down the opportunity to close the level crossing gates, using the big wheel in the box, fearing that the train back to Minehead would leave without me! I'm so glad that the WSR is such a beautifully run and cared-for heritage line now. Let's hope the Taunton connection continues as a regular thing - it could take traffic off the Taunton-Minehead road!

Geoff: talks about the lovely heritage compartment Vicki: IT'S LIKE IN HARRY POTTER!!!!

I can't get enough of these. Informative, enjoyable, fondness for them both, trains, infrastructure, stories, people around the British Isles, brilliant!! For free as well!!! Loved the ending on this one!

I am one of those people that grew up using trains that had compartments...and only compartments, they were much better than the open carriages. You would find the same people got into the same compartment every day...ah..'the good old days'...:)

Those old carriages with the compartments bring back memories of our trips down to Cornwall in the 80s when I was a kid, used to love running up and down the Isle.

About 55 years ago my family (mum, dad, 5 boys and a girl) had a holiday in the camping coach at Stogumber Station - then, until the early 70s, we stayed in 2 chalets at Helwell Bay, Watchet. We loved the railway! They used to have through trains from the main line at Taunton to Butlins at Minehead and we’d wave to the train from the camping coach windows - once with our feet I remember! Incidentally, a scene rom the Beatles film A Hard Day’s Night was shot on one station - Crowcombe I think!!

People in Taunton have waited for this connection for many years. Its good to finally see it!

The West Somerset Railway is indeed a very nice heritage railway. It is also Britain's longest heritage railway.

1:46 here we observe a rare sight of a class 150 challenging a steam train.

Many many many happy memories from being on this railway as a child with my grandad. Since moved away but always try to get back when I come back home to the south west. Fantastic idea of the shuttle service as it makes it easier for many more people to enjoy this wonderful line!

I use to Marshall there n 2016, hd lots of fun but it was cut short due to my anxiety. everyone working there was super helpful and understood what to do when I had a panic attack. lots of Train enthusiasts came super early to take pictures and to be honest I was proven wrong at what train enthusiasts look like, there were men and women my age, older, my parents age and I was really shocked. I'm blessed to live in Somerset from East Yorkshire

Since I was very young I have had an interest in Railway Accidents and have visited done of the older sites (over 20 years must have passed). For a while in the 70s I worked at Harrow and Wealdstone where the ghastly accident happened in 1952. At the time some of the chaps on the station were there in 1952 and chatted to me about it. The station even after twenty or so years still carried scars......I note that you mentioned Norton Fitzwarren near Taunton which was the scene of two accidents in 1940 and 1890. Also the 1978 train fire was not far away . It is unthinkable that disasters such as these could have occured do close together. It makes me very happy that safety standards on our railways are so good that we rarely have serious accidents . ....I loved this video as I have childhood memories of the area ......thanks guys .....

Hi Geoff & Vicki, I love All the Stations! Okehampton is included in the ORR statistics and it's similar to Bishops Lydeard in that it serves a non-NR heritage railway station on summer Sundays only. So I think you are justified in adding Bishops Lydeard to the total.

Fabulous video there Geoff. Vicki is always finding quaint places and she can add Dunster as one of those. I see you bumped into Rebecca and Paul from Every Disused Stations. The look on Vicki's face when you mentioned a rover ticket, a classic stare lol 😂😊

Lovely trip down memory lane. Although I now live in Australia I grew up nearby in Somerset and have been on that line a few times. My parents were some of the original shareholders when it was first formed back in the 1970's (suspect my mum still has them actually!) so they got a few free tickets each year. Spent many happy times at the Butlins camp in Minehead as a kid too. The WSR have always wanted to get a direct connection from Taunton - delighted to see it finally happen and hopefully that will become permanent. Haven't been to Dunster for many years but I believe it also had a tower that poked up out of the trees which many people mistook for part of the castle. Beautiful part of the world.

We went on this line last month - sadly, only between Blue Anchor and Washford, as we wanted to visit Cleeve Abbey, which is about 10 minutes' walk from the latter station (and well worth visiting, Vicki, if you're reading this). A lovely line, and would like to visit more of it one day.

It's taken me until now to watch this! I remember standing next to you both at Bishops Lydeard and not realising who you were until you started talking. Great video and thanks to Geoff for taking a moment out of a very busy schedule to chat to a rather embarrassed me!

There are so many lovely little villages in England.

Great to see the WSR have increased the frequency of the trains. When I did the journey 20 years ago they only ran 1 train a day in each direction

Another 'tick'. Long may they continue! (Loved the ending gag with the Whitewicks!)

A train trip and some castle history too. Could this video be any more perfect! Thank you Vikki for going to the extra level to make it so!

I came back to watch this just to say "Thanks!" to Geoff and Vicki for introducing me to Paul and Rachel and the Whitewick's Abandoned Railways channel!

I was literally on Bishops Lydeard station as you were filming this! We were in the tea room when you train left as we were going in the other direction on the GWR service to Norton Fitzwarren for the steam rally. Shame to have missed you but looks like you had an excellent day. The West Somerset Railway is lovely and we went to Dunster and its Castle the day before Vicki. If you love the attention to detail of the carriages and stations, you'd love the Severn Valley Railway (not far from Worcestershire Parkway). I haven't yet visited all their stations. There's one request stop I've never done!

As a resident of Minehead (but not a local) I would welcome a daily service from Taunton. It'd solve a lot of problems, and skip round the ever present threat of the A39/A358 flooding everytime someone sneezes. Although I have to stay loyal to my own heritage railway, the North Yorks' Moors.

I think all the heritage railways is a great continuation.

A Hornby model of Dunster station adorned my first train set. Great to see it in the flesh!

I think all the stations should be commissioned to the BBC! Would make a great series given the already amazing production quality

That was the best outro you could have done!

The Taunton to Minehead route hasn't been official cancelled, so you can still buy rail tickets to several of the stations, including Dunster and Minehead. The replacement buses depart from platform S1, seen in the back of the opening shot.

Geoff,Vicki hello again I used to live nearly 10 years either end of the West Somerset. Trust me they've been waiting for GWR to green light this shuttle project for nearly 30 years since 1990.Mum and Dad live in Minehead. Thank you for such great publicity video for them they are a great bunch down there and your correct. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE any follow videos you do from there, contact me and let me know it'll be great to give you some more info of the local area (my old boyhood/preteenage stomping ground). You amaze me everytime guys well done.

i volunteered on the WSR and was a guard. Best week of my life.

I did Dunster Castle and the WSR back in May, excellent day out and a friend of mine volunteers at Bishops Lydeard, well done, I think it's great the GWR and running a connecting service, will encourage more people to use it.

This brings back great memories from when I was little, my mums uncle had a summer house at crowcombe heathfield which we stayed at a few times, we used to love seeing the steam trains going up and down every day, one time we actually got the hogwarts express to minehead when they had it down there for a short time

All the Chuff chuffs in 2019 Vicki and Geoff making Trains cool again bravo

What a beautiful trip. Love steam trains and the old cars. You did need someone coming down the corridor with a trolley. But sadly, they probably wouldn't have had any chocolate frogs. 🐸

I definitely want this line to be used year round!!! Beautiful places and great views from the train!!! Thank you for sharing!!!

Have extended (its complicated) family who live literally just round the corner from Blue Anchor so have had more than a few excellent rides on the WSR. Very nice railway.

I used to like buffet cars where the seats weren't screwed down and you could move them a bit, heavy but wonderfully padded. Even on London- Brighton and at conference time they used to load spirit bottles by the crate.

A castle, Rob, a halt, a heritage railway, and station number 2,567, this is awesome. Every time I think of a halt, I think of your experience at Coombe Junction Halt with please wait. If only the shuttle was a Pacer

Britain can be very proud of these heritage trains.

Loved this video - great to see the loving care those stations seem to receive. And those two bits at the end - hilarious. Thanks guys 🤣👍🏻

Nice to see this drop on the same day I did the Kent & East Sussex Railway (which totally sells "rover" tickets btw) along with TWO castles, plus a really windy(!) walk by the sea last night. An adventure was definitely had!

Ive gone on the WSR all of my life for my holiday. Know the turns off by heart, definitely recommend it to any other people!!

I made this trip when I visited UK back in 2015. Plan on doing it again this Oct. Too bad there was no exploring of Minehead. I remember it being a fun stop and bummed there wasn't more time between the turnaround to go back to Bishop.

Vicki has changed her hair. Love what she’s done with it. Also I really enjoyed the video

The village of Dunster was used as a location for an episode of Poirot once, as was Kingswear station on the Dartmouth and Paignton railway.

I love the WSR and the whole area around West Somerset, I've just got back from my annual pilgrimage there, so this is very timely for me! Nice cameos from those Whitewicks, looking forward to seeing their video. Cheers.

Dunster is beautiful. Great underrated Beer Garden at the hotel.

It is Brilliant to see another station to the Network Rail map (even on trail) it is a step in the right direction for British Railways. I wish the West Somerset Railway every bit of luck that the Shuttle Service get a go ahead from GWR as a regular service from Taunton. They and the UK needs services like this. Get it done GWR!!!😀😃

Between the times of 2:30-3:40 I am in the background on platform dispatch

I would love to go to the West Somerset Railway someday

Oh wow! I live in Watchet, and I’ve been a fan of yours since about 6 months after this video came out, and cor about 3 years I never knew you came by our little railway! I grew up with it, it’s great :D

thats why i like the old railways, having your own compartment, nothing can beat those carriages!

I'd love to a series where they visit all the steam preservation lines in UK. Theres one a mile or 2 away from where I live. 2 of the stations have bars so there's an opportunity for a couple of beers.

I love the way that the various KZfaq transport channels are overlapping - All the (Disused) Stations; the canal vlogs (Minimal List/Cruising the Cut/Foxes/Narrowboat Exp./Jono/etc) and the aircraft ones in the USA (Flying Cowboys/P1D/etc).

When I wake up and all the stations tune is playing in my head😂

Talking of new stations, I believe Robroyston station in Glasgow is currently set to open in December, so that could make it station 2570

Nice to see something positive about this railway after a pretty rough patch. Hope that's all in the past now. Another great episode guys; the quality just keeps on improving.

Love the WSR, it's long enough to feel like a real journey, not just a there and back. Love the chuff chufffs.

Good on gwr for opening up this line. Pure joy - delightful vid and subject. Even includes Vicki's chuff.

Having lived a while in Minehead I just love this particular video. The west Somerset railway is great. The best way to get from Taunton to Minehead (the bus is a killer)

Killed it the whole way through on the "Bonus Commentary", 'does that dog have a rover?' 🤣🤣🤣🤣 classic. #cheekymax

Vicki Explores always a ‘must see’ feature 😁

What is clearly needed is a whole new Kickstarter funded series... All The Castles... Thumbs up for Vicki ! ... PS: Love the vlog bombing..

Quite possiblpy the funniest All the Stations video, and Yes Vicki Explores needs to be longer, perhaps a longer version in a seperate channel.

Great vid. Lovely to see Paul & Rebecca!

One of the very best! Will you be coming to the re-opening of the Mid-Hants Railway section between Alton and Medstead & Four Marks sometime in the autumn, when the bridge at Alton has been repalced? "All the re-connected stations"

I couldn't stop laughing at that part at the end!

Brand new to All The Stations and I love it! Your intro goes through my head every time I board public transport. It's so good!

Oh, my goodness - keep me away from that Bishops Lydeard shop! :D Just a two second glance put stars in my eyes. Dunster Station - very quaint - tick. You described these stations perfectly, that every one has a lot of care and attention lavished on them. They are all quite lovely. Ooh, ooh, at 8:45 and a bit beyond - well done! (The camera angle putting the flower in the foreground). Loved that. :)

Went here when I was younger, the line between Bishops Lydiard and Minehead is lovely on an old steam train. One of the stations is called Blue Anchor.

Vicki's face in that final frame is priceless. 🤣

That's a funny ending. Lol good work, the unused stations people lol, they are worth a sub

Ahhhh I went on the WSR a few years ago now. Really want to go back, was a lovely experience and looks like it hasn't lost any charm despite the fairly well publisised issues they have had. Hope this trial is a success and we see more of similar things going forward!

Yay. I love WSR and I love All The Stations and I also love Abandoned Railways so this is a triple love! Loved the ending too. I've said love too many times. Sorry, love.

I did the Swanage trip the other week, picked up the train at Woking. I am looking forward to doing this trip next year.

So technically Norton Fitzwarren was Britains 2,568th station. Also next I think it would be a good idea if Geoff and the 'all the stations' team should visit all the heritage lines in Britain.

the old trains are truly lovely! it has character that you'd never get from something like the Azuma. we need more little trains like this run around small valley lines!

Thank you Geoff and Vikki for such a lovely portrayal of our railway! I was firing on the day of your visit on one of the trains but sadly never got a chance to say hello! Please do come again as right now we need all the passengers we can get!

nice to see the Whitewicks on board!

An enjoyable video, thank you very much. I have subscribed to Paul & Rebecca's KZfaq channel. Great piece at the end there.

Really enjoyed that, I reckon you should do more heritage stations too!! Great corny end but that look 👀 you got Geoff!!!

Hi Geoff and Vicki, The next heritage railway you should visit is the watercress line because South Western Railway have a station there and that is Alton and Alton is the northern terminus of the watercress line and i will think you two would love it! It has a dining train and lovely train (some with compartments) and they have 6 working steam locos and 3 working diesel locos.

At 10:56 a station announcement saying "all change" would have been most appropriate! Having watched many of Geoff's and also paul's videos, I didn't notice the change of presenters, although I noticed something seemed different, wasn't sure what until Geoff and Vicki reappeared!

I enjoyed Paul & Rebecca's show 😆....No I do enjoy your rail journeys very much!

Geoff and Vicki both look different in this one :P

I spied Paul Whitewick on your train just after you left Watchet. (Paul & Rebecca). Super video. p

Very interesting and informative. Love the comedy moments. I think vicki should have a rest and let Geoff go out on the walks .

The Severn Valley Railway is my personal favourite heritage railway

Paul and Rebecca at the end - hahahaaa. (and Vicki's look at the 'joke' obvs)

Hello There, Great video and what a lovely video, great if they would make this a regular service! Cheers Peter

When he said “we’ve got the vice chairman” I heard, “we’ve got the West German” and you were both so enthusiastic I was wondering what I’d missed in the last episode and Global politics over the weekend.

Great stuff - once again, Thanks to you both.

Top collaboration folks!

"Steam train smut" God, you two are utterly adorable. Thanks for being my new favourite everything x
