Great vlog on visiting all the stations on the Ribble valley line Jen, they sure do have some stunning views.

So where is the extension? I have travelled by tram from Fleetwood to Starrgate many times during my life. So far as I can see, that is where it still goes.

Well, at Knockholt station you were in London, but at the entrance you were in Kent! You can also still travel along the old line from Dunton Green to Westerham - in a car along the M25! Loving the graphics of the little maps. What software do you use to make those?

Orpington is my local station - which I agree is not the most edifying, particularly in the rush hour. As, for Dunton Green: the Westerham branch closed to passengers in 1961 and I remember once travelling on the line with my parents sometime in the 1950's. The last train from Westerham to Dunton Green, was I believe around 19.23, taking around 10 mins for the 4.5 miles. Today, the last bus from Westerham to Sevenoaks, the nearest large town, is, believe it or not, at 16.28! That's progress!

"These" people slag off Christians too as though they have the right to persecute any group they , obviously, know nothing about. Are we born with an inherited prejudice to other people, or is it fear of what we don't understand? Whatever, it's not helpful to bringing about the peaceful world most of us long for. Bless you Jen. These people will, one day, have their eyes opened to the truth about themselves. 😊

The mahoota station, London Bridge, completely rebuilt!! BADLY. No toilets inside the barriers, the gap between the train and the Platform is vast despite being newly rebuilt. Plenty of shops inside and outside the barriers so you can shop til you drop while waiting for your cancelled train, no seats so you have to occupy yourself you can shop. London Bridge is not a train station it is a shopping mall 😢

Elmstead Woods is quite a nice small station that you can see trains coming in and out of the tunnels. And Southeastern are soon to replace the Class 465 and Class 466 Networkers with new trains but they should keep some for the Bromley North branch line.

There was a nasty little fire onboard - I think, I could be wrong - one of the last 4-SUB's in the early 80's. A complete twonk left a smouldering butt end at their seat and it set it on fire. Although everyone was safe - the evacuation was top-notch - the carriage was really badly damaged. And to tie it in with your vid, Jen, it happened at Waterloo East.

Knowing when you've reached your limits and having the strength to admit - and then do something about it, is a really strong and powerful characteristic, dear Jen. Yeah, so it took you a little while to work out what you were going to do - but that's okay! And yours just redefines blue rinses in all our minds, for sure! So you've done a good thing - every cloud has its silver lining and all that stuff, yeah?!! If people didn't like your videos, they'd not watch them; the fact that people are still watching and supporting what you do tells you they still enjoy them and virtually, they enjoy your company... So please, you just do what's right for you, as you go forward!

I used to work at Waterloo East on the gateline and both SE and LU staff called it no mans land. One member on LU told me the reason for the strange set up there was when Southwark was opened, there was going to be a street level entrance there but the local residents managed to get it blocked. I was told when that restriction ends and will need to be fought again but I cannot remember now
