p.s. In my case - re acrophobia - looking straight down from up high, is 1000(?!)% worse than gazing ahead, despite being up high, so your video is okay to watch doing the latter rather than the former. If that makes sense?! 🤔🏴❤️🇬🇧🤭🖖

4:20 - Morris 1000 van, here painted in Post Office Telephones green complete with a no4 ladder on the roof rack. This is what I was provided with after my training period was over and unleashed onto the unsuspecting subscribers (as they were known as then). I later discovered that there was a no 5 ladder which was three rungs longer over the sections. I 'persuaded' my boss to let me get one for safety reasons. (I would not have to stretch so far at the top of the ladder.)

I increased the screen time of most of the captions from the video after this and - where a clip was too short to have a longer caption on-screen - reduced the length of the caption to one or two lines, rather than three.

I always find it strange that there appeared to be huge urgency to wire this route to Corby, yet the electrification programme of the majority of the line to Sheffield seems painfully slow (not to mention being cancelled/reinstated at least three times). As it stands the work continues but wIll the MML ever be completely electrified? I'm not sure it will to be honest. The government are definitely not fully onboard with the project (why else would they order bi mode diesel trains instead of fully electric?) but I've never fully understood why? Perhaps somebody coul enlighten me.
@travelbuzz14 ай бұрын
Hello. This is a question I'd like answered as well, actually. I'll give my general take on it, though. We seem to be better at delivering smaller projects in this country, where the budget and deadlines are less likely to overrun. That and local political will are often key factors. Comparing the MML with the Great Western, there were similar issues. Much of the route was electrified, but key places were cut out (Swansea, Bristol and Bath area, Oxford). The reliance on bi-modes played a big part, yes. I hope Network Rail (and GBR) keep the faith, re the remainder of the MML to Sheffield, though.

The upgrade provides space for an additional fast train on the Hope Valley Line itself, but it won’t be possible to operate it due to severe capacity restrictions in Sheffield and Manchester. The main benefit it’s actually providing is significantly more timetable resilience for existing trains and the ability to run more freight.
@travelbuzz15 ай бұрын
Ah, so the bottlenecks will remain at either end of the route? Still, more resilience, like you say. Now if only longer trains were available at weekends (going by the experience I had after my upcoming walk)...

Cornwall is unique in Britain as a single main line corridor (leading to a dead end) from which there are numerous dead-end branch lines, and every single one of them leads to a picturesque environment, mostly idyllic coastal towns.

WOW! I loved being with you on that fascinating train ride from Penzance to London. The Cornwall and Devon counties, and adjoining areas have always appealed to me. I've never been to England, although I have done a two week pilgrimage to Scotland as my dad was from Dundee. But after your video that south west corner of the UK still rates high in my plastic bucket list of must do destinations before they measure me up for my last journey in the polished pinewood box. I'm in south east Queensland, and love the train journeys on KZfaq, but particularly from the UK, having given rail transport to the world. I look forward to more adventures with you, albeit from your collections.

Very nice video. I live in Westbury, just down the road a bit from Heywood Road Junction, where the track splits between the Station lines and the avoiding lines (you probably know this). The avoiding lines are slightly closer and on a more elevated embankment than the station lines, so since I am up late quite often, I usually see or hear the Night Riviera. Now I realise why I miss it occasionally - it's trundling through the station instead.
@travelbuzz17 ай бұрын
Thank you - much appreciated! Yes, admittedly, I was quite surprised when we went through Westbury station. In fact, until quite recently, I was under the impression that the Berks & Hants line was closed overnight, sending the Night Riviera via Swindon and Bristol (with a crew stop at BTM). But that seems no longer the case. Thoroughly enjoyed it, though.

He was pardoned after the Compromise (1867). The Chain Bridge was recently opened to pedestrian traffic. 4:35 Tunnel. According to the joke, it was built where it is so that when it rains, the Chain Bridge can be pushed under it, so that the Chain Bridge does not rust. According to another legend, the lions guarding the Chain Bridge have no tongue. That is why they are mute, because they cannot speak without a language. Beneficial for lovers.. 5:14 Corvus cornix. Smart bird. The medieval castle was almost completely destroyed in the wars between 1526-1686. 8:56 The figure braking the horse wears traditional "csikós" ( englis cca: chikosh) clothes. The shepherd who deals with csikós horses. He is at the beginning of the hierarchy of shepherds. The Austrian Spanish Riding School uses Lipizzan horses to this day. One breeding of Lipizzan horses is in Szilvásvárad in Hungary in the Bükk Mountains. Margitsziget was originally three islands, they were united when the current image of the Danube was created. The name of the largest island was the island of Nyulak ( Rabbit's ). King Béla IV's daughter Margit lived in a monastery here. During the Tatar ( mongolian) campaign (1444-45), the king offered his daughter to the church in order to save himself and the country. The girl also died here, her grave is also here. . The island was named after him. 12:41 is the Lego version of the previously mentioned lion. Best.

According to the wiki, there are two small populations in the northern part of the UK. A dolman is a coat-like garment. According to the Hungarian name of the bird, it looks like the black bird is wearing such a dress.

Hi! Thanks for your feedback and apologies for the delay in responding. The reason I love KZfaq so much is because of the sheer variety of people who provide content and the different ways they do that. Not everyone has a face for TV (or even a face for radio...) and I have no plans to do that at the moment. Most of the channels I follow are people who started off doing videos the way I do now, then progress to voiceovers and even face-to-camera at a later point, once they've gained the confidence. I may do that later on, but I'm happy with how things are going for the moment. In the end, KZfaq's big enough for all types of videos, whether they're revenue-earning or not. Personally, I think music is massively overused in videos - and TV - so I prefer the natural background. If you watch the Lisbon video - and if you already have, thank you - I tried music on that one. It was OK, I felt, but I had done better. Anyway, thanks again and take care.
