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!

I bet the Bromley north branch was fun 😂 i grea up dosn that way loved going on the train to visit my nan. It was previously named knockholt pound

What a beautiful heart Stu has! Legend. Someone has been cutting onions here!

Hey Jen. Just found your great channel. do you have any plans to do the London Waterloo to Portsmouth line? I live roughly halfway between the two. Lived here all my life.

Take care Jen and look after yourself. Great video

"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. 😊

That's me on the pa at Acton Central. Shame u didn't get to say hello 😮

Propper welsh Wales

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 😢

Jen, you genuinely had me worried for a couple of minutes. But I had a sigh of relief to see happy Jen at the end of the video Please do take care of yourself

Is it a guide to pasties?

Knockholt sounds like one of those stations where the company opted to build it nearer to the railway than the location it serves.

Thank you for being so transparent about your situation - good to see you very clearly turning a corner - that vibrant blue is back and it speaks volumes! \m/

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.

Sounds like you and Stu have had a great time doing that challenge together. Will you be doing more railway challenges with other people throughout this year and next year.

Knockholt Station *is* in Greater London, but the road outside the station entrance isn't. So you're basically right either way. You look after you. We want to be watching Jen videos for many years to come! Hugs offered from Canada.

Probably one of the most attractive outdoor stations in London for that lovely garden setup, I was recommended to visit Elmstead Woods by another train geek

Honestly had no clue that 376s did Sevenoaks runs thought it was mostly 465/66 and the occasional 707s

I saw you first on Geoff Marshall Lego train video. Brilliant video Jen

Thank you for realising the problem and making the hard decision to change. I love your videos, but they're more enjoyable when I know you're enjoying making them yourself

is canon strett after canons as in guns and wrsr or cannons as in church hirarchy.

Have ever been insulted on your journeys ?

Only just got round to watching this, but what a heartwarming watch it was. It was a pleasure to join Stu for his last leg, as well as an earlier (sunnier) leg too! Well done Jen for getting us and this video together.

Knockholt is right on the border of London and Kent. The southern end of the platforms is where the border is.

I developed a very slight walking addiction during the pandemic. I will not get the train somewhere unless I have walked there first, So when a colleague had a wedding in Norwich this year I had to walk there from Greenwich. (I did it in stages, over about a year),

I suspect you and I are much alike. Carbs and fat are comfort food but they really make me feel bad. Menopause is a bitch and becoming so calorie efficient is just not helping to keep me in a good way. I love your new hair and I hope you continue to discover the pleasure in your every day wanderings. If we get to come for the ride, great, but if not, just knowing you are getting along well is good enough

What ticket did you manage to pick up that allowed you to do the back and forth between stations?

Ooh Jen you have to come and ride on my trains at last

Can you please do south western railway Hampton court branch

Not a Class 68 fan? I thought you like CATs 😉

Amazing video, amazing Stu! Utterly mad journey, but great to see he has just passed £10k raised. 💙

nice hair! (not so much the blue one.) love your stuff, please keep it up.

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!

have you seen blackpool transport has changed there timetable starting sept 1st, all trams between 9am and 7pm will go to blackpool north with after 7pm no trams will due to ulluminations traffic and before 9am , t1,t2,t3 will run like before

It was lovely to be in that London again, Jen. Thank you. Really enjoyable. X

6:21 Knockholt gets busy during peaks but thats due to people parking there instead of places like Sevenoaks to get the cheaper Oyster fares

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

I look your new hair colour jen. Can what to watch that video.

I lived in Orpington years ago. This was my station to commute to London, even to grammar school at Camberwell, before commuting to work at London Bridge. I was a volunteer in the 60s helping out, trying to get the Westerham Valley Railway going, alas to no avail in the end. Thanks for that video Jen, and keep up the healthy regime!

the gardens at Elmstead Woods looks reallly nice & i wouldnt mind checking it out one day & im loving Knuckholt & Orpington is a nice area but not keen on the station brilliant vlog

Welcome to the South East, you will be please to know we are Voyager free in this part of the country. ;D

Rlly well made video! Loved seeing some London stations again ❤️

There can't be many people who have taken a train from Charing Cross to Waterloo East!

Future Jen is spot on, and also has excellent hair colour!! Nice to see you around my neck of the woods - don't hesitate to give me a shout next time you're in Kent, I'll see if I can bring along a cuppa (or a Costa!) for you xD
