Have finished the video after about 4 shifts… I too had an incident in Aslockton. Mine was a furious old lady who didn’t want me to park my car in the station car park. It must attract unfriendly people that village…

Sarah - thanks for doing this one - I’d been waiting a long time for it as it’s an interesting line for sure. Keep them coming as they are very informative and good to watch - due to content like this I now watch far more utube than regular tv - good work!

@sarahwiththetrains 3 ай бұрын

Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed it! I'm really looking forward to visiting the stations heading up to Skegness!

@scottjones3782 3 ай бұрын

Yes it will be interesting to see the rest of it - a great line.

Great video Sarah. Presumably Poacher line because of Lincolnshire Poacher, the song.. The tune of which announced one of the most notorious Numbers Stations.

@jamfjord 3 ай бұрын

Ooh, Number Stations, now there's a rabbit hole...

@sarahwiththetrains 3 ай бұрын

I wasn't aware of the Lincolnshire Poacher song but have looked it up as well as Numbers Stations and heard the recording of that station! I suspect if I let myself I may fall down the rabbit hole of researching Numbers Stations!

@carlwilson1772 3 ай бұрын

@@sarahwiththetrains Numbers Stations are an endless source of fascination. The Lincolnshire Poacher was a British one which seemed to be based in Cyprus. There were quite a few East German ones, and Soviet ones. A famous Soviet one was "The Russian Woodpecker". It wasn't in Russia but in Ukraine, and wasn't really a true numbers station. It was an over the horizon radar system that was near Chernobyl. A huge antenna array that when operating causes a series of wooden sounding clicks on the short wave band at various frequencies. Hence the Woodpecker epithet. I well remember as a teen in the 80s listening on the short wave radio that I'd built and hearing, these strange, disembodied voices reciting numbers. All presaged by odd sounding spooky music. It was otherworldly.

Supposedly, my parents got engaged at Grantham station. I think one of them turned 21 as it turned midnight as the train reached Grantham, probably 3rd April 1942. Philip Heselton

Ah yes I did think of the 'Iron Lady' when I was at Grantham as aside from the station it's about all I knew of the place!

Great catch on the 60, Sarah, still not seen one in the wild myself. How dare those youfs!? Don't they know you're SarahWithTheTrains?! 😮

Last saw a 60 at Nottingham a few years ago so was surprised to see one when filming this! I know how dare they 😂

Brilliant video Sarah, that station master was a very naughty one indeed. Lovely to see that Class 60 at Ashlockton. I did visit Elton and Orston and Bottesford back in 2022 but I was with other people and one had a car to drive us to Elton and Orston back then. :)

yet another enjoyable video, can’t wait for the next one. PS you sing better than me 😊

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it! The singing was very much the best take I could get! There was another version where I was out of breath so I couldn't bring myself to use it 😂

Ashlockton, I bet it's those kids from the local school going home to the next stop. They can be rowdy but once or twice I've told a little smart one to, well, why he should remain silent towards me and his mates laughed at him. They don't even stick together, lol.

@Sim0nTrains 3 ай бұрын

Great video Sarah, honestly that singing was quite good and those idiots who yelled freak at you, was really uncalled for and possibly too lazy to come up with new material, but hope you okay after that Sarah.

@sarahwiththetrains 3 ай бұрын

Hi Simon! Glad you enjoyed it! Absolutely fine after the encounter with the youngsters. I very literally shrugged and walked off.

@fussyboy2000 3 ай бұрын

Great video. Well done for half ticking off Elton & Orston. You need to do arrive and depart by different trains for it to be a full tick! There's a footpath on the map alongside the River Smite that would cut out quite a bit of the country lane walk. Is the pub at Orston any good?

@sarahwiththetrains 3 ай бұрын

If I go again I'll have to check out the footpath! Can't comment on the pub I'm afraid as was only passing!

Did you accidentally invoke a nuclear attack during the sped-up sequence at Bottesford? That funny noise was VERY disconcerting! Very good otherwise, keep up the good work🙂😉
