How much of the track bed can you walk along. What a fantastic train ride through such scenic landscapes.
Pretty much all of it right from Princetown down to Yelverton - its a great walk with stunning views
I live just up the road from here
Thanks for dropping by
If only the Plym Valley Railway could get hold of a GWR 14xx 0-4-2T (or a pannier tank) and a couple of autocoaches… At the base of the Cann viaduct you can see stone bases. I suspect these are the remnants of Brunei’s original timber trestle viaduct. They were built that way because it was miles cheaper than building a stone structure, most of them in Devon and Cornwall were built to accommodate the 7’ broad gauge used by the GWR and associated companies in the South West. After the GWR went standard gauge in 1892, they continued using them, but they were all eventually replaced by stone structures. The GWR kept trains running during construction by building the new viaduct parallel to the old one. Once track had been relaid to its new formation, the wooden part of the old viaduct was demolished with only the stone supports remaining.
That would be cool!
the old track beds were my play grounds in the late '70s and early '80s. I remember catching ( and releasing ) slow worms on the line. Thanks.
Thank you so much for the kind comment. Do you know, we saw a slow worm on the cycle path where Plymstock station once stood - first one I've seen in years
Thanks for the video, from some one involved in the restarting of the railway in the late '70s and early '80s. nice tribute to what was.
Thanks you for the comment! Its really great to see what the PVR have achieved - shame they can't go all the way to, well, Bickleigh I suppose would be the realistic end
Another fantastic video. I've walked the trackbed many times and enjoyed this very much. By the way, your superimposing of the old photos on the current landscape was very effective. 😊
Thank you so much for the kind comments
I live in Plymouth and always wandered where the old lines went to. Great video
Thanks ever so much for watching
Fantastic video and some beautiful drone footage. Sadly, the line did not survive long enough for it to become a preserved steam line - that would have been fabulous!
Wouldn't it just? So much potential there!
Thanks, l enjoyed that very much. 😊 Subbed.
Thank you so much - latest episode will be uploaded later today
Good-oh! 😊
Great video, really enjoyed watching it. You've beautifully captured the atmosphere of one of my favourite routes. Bitter sweet, but at least it is still with us, in parts. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for your kind comments! We've just released our latest video too if you want to check it out :-)
Loved video please do more so sad to see how much we've lost
Thank you so much! It is very sad to see all these closed routes, and one does wonder how much better transport would be here if we had the foresight to at least keep the infrastructure intact...
I really enjoyed this, thank you - excellent drone footage. I lived in plympton in 2003/4 while my then girlfriend (now wife) was doing her masters at Marjons… the Plym valley railway hadn’t reached Plym bridge at that time so it’s good to see it made it! If I recall, the cycle way to Tavistock includes a tunnel you can go through…
Hi yes the cycleway does indeed have a tunnel - Shaugh Tunnel. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Loved the presentation on the GWR Branch Line that linked Plymouth to Tavistock. Have you any plans to do the SR main line that also linked the two and carried the ACE and other Services to London Waterloo.
Thanks for the sub! And yes, we do have plans to do a lot more of the lines in the area :-)
I dragged my children up as far as the viaduct back in the early 90s. I have to say it is one of my favourite old railway walks. Just the total peace and quiet, yet not that far away from Plymouth. Well worth the walk.
Its a beautiful place. Hope you enjoyed the film and thanks for commenting!
After nationalization BR was left with two routes from Plymouth to Tavistock (and indeed Launceston); this ex-GWR line, and the ex-SR line to Exeter via Tavistock and Okehampton, which served suburban Plymouth better and had the Callington branch (truncated to Gunnislake in 1966) too. Surprising that the ex-GWR line lasted as long as it did. Its closure did not of course save the ex-SR line, which was closed in 1968, although it is reopened from Exeter to Okehampton and may reopen from Bere Alston to Tavistock in the medium term.
Thanks for the comment - yes, there is indeed talk of Bere Alston to Tavistock being reopened on account of much of the trackbed and infrastructure being in decent condition; though having heard similar tales from the Anglesey Central Railway (where I grew up) I won't hold my breath! Hope you enjoyed the video :-)
Excellent video, superbly presented on a railway I knew nothing about until now. Many thanks 👍🏼
Thanks so much for the kind comments! There are more episodes planned, so do stay tuned :-) ad if you haven't seen it already, the first in the series is here: ruclips.net/video/ysksYCIzKEk/видео.htmlsi=wzyM2FqPu4Ie4p2A
Very nicely done. And very good camera work from the young lad.
Thank you so much - I'll let Henry know!
Very good, nice one. Yelverton to Princetown next?
its on the list!! Probably looking at Plymstock to Yealmpton next, but may put a poll out to see what the audience wants! Thanks so much for the feedback its really appreciated
❤
Thanks for stopping by!
Love this! Please do more of them!
thanks!
Houses again
And more houses equate to a greater transport need...
What a massive mistake we made when we closed these lines.
Would fix lot of Plymouth's transport issues
Fab video, thank you.
Thanks so much! Stay tuned as there's another in production!
@@DevonAdventureFam oh fab!
Very good - could do with a longer dwell on the photos though, had to watch multiple times using the Pause button lol
Hey thanks for the feedback - I'll take that onboard for the next instalment I'm working on. It's tricky with photos on how long to make each frame so your comments are greatly appreciated!
Fantastic video
Thanks for the visit
Thank You! Superb record of Plymouth's #LinesInTheLandscape. More please 😊
thank you
I lived for a year in plympton in 2004 and the remains of these railways used to fascinate me every time I drove into Plymouth. An excellent video - great stuff!
thanks for your comments
Grew up around Prince Rock/Cattedown in the 1980s/90’s. Walked the rail line route from Cattedown wharfs to Friary station many times. So much has changed in the last 30 years
Thanks for dropping by - yes lots has changed, not necessarily for the better
Bet they regret getting rid of all these lines around the country
Well they should - would make a big difference to the green agenda..
Excellent video 😊
Thank you very much!
Hi There my real Name is Mr Cannadine T. Boxill-Harris, I have another interesting idea for most of us Class 507, Class 508, Class 313, and Class 314 and that also includes those interesting Class 315 Fans out there, rather than scrapping most of those Class 507, Class 508, Class 313's Class 314 including the Class 315's maybe you guys can convert them. Including the refurbishment into the Volvo TD102KF Engine, Volvo B10M Engine, Leyland 510 Engine, Scania N112 Engine, Cummins M11 Engine, Gardner LG1200 Engine, Gardner 6LXB Engine, Gardner 8LXB Engine, Class 507, Class 508, Class 313's, Class 314's and the Class 315's and convert all of them into a 2 Carriages and Three Carriages of the Class 313's, Class 314's and that is including those Class 315's for most of us Class 314 and Class 315 Diesel Train Fans PLEASE? Are you still going to do this interesting type of Project for all of us out there Pretty Please.
certainly one to think about - thanks for dropping by!
Great video, I like the sound fx and music choices.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
On the one hand, the Cattewater line currently terminates at a scrapyard fairly close to the A379 and hasn’t seen any kind of train in 10 years. On the other hand…..we’ve been here before. Many times. In a few decades’ time the wharves might be used again but the line will have been bulldozed into oblivion and have housing and industrial units all over it……..because of one road bridge? No more short-termism. Protect the infrastructure.
Plymouth City Council not exactly famous for foresight
Absolutely agree
Very interesting video and history lesson, a shame when those lines are removed
It is, especially when there are opportunities to re-utilise, like light transit
On that map at 00:30 Iin the 1990s I went in a classic oldy worldy pub in Plymouth and it was on one of those triangles on this map ! ( Was the name of the pub the Triangle or The Railway ?.Can't remember .)Anyway I think it had pictures on the wall of the railway and triangle in it's ooperating heyday ! Where was I ? . Only I remember it was a very residential area .I thought ( from the map ) it could have been the Friary triangle ? Bit i don't remember any water on the right !
Thanks for visiting!
Very close to North Road Station, there used to be a pub called The Archer. They had a picture of a Western on Goss Moor on the wall. It was near the triangle, but the line down to Millbay was long gone in the 90s.
Such a shame
wow that was a quick view! Thanks for dropping by :-)
Lovely video. The cats have their ears clipped because that's what Rhodes cats charity does once they are neutered so they don't keep catching the same cats. Fantastic charity.
I thought it was a picture of a cat who’d been fighting! Every day is a school Day!
Thanks for your kind comment and the info about the cats! Tom and Davina, plus a few of their posse were certainly in good form - in fact all the cats we saw on the island looked well despite the majority being semi feral
It's lovely around there, Me and my Wife camped nearby a few years ago and we went up to the castle in the mist at midnight for a look around, I took some photos including one through the bars in the Keep which captured a very bright orb which when reviewed on a large screen appears to contain the face of a woman, it sounds nuts and I'm not into ghost hunting or stuff like that but it is what it is.
The place definitely feels "off"! Thanks for watching!
I also visited Berry Pomeroy with my family some yars ago, great adventures exolring the ruins... followed by tea in Totnes! a great day out!!
Its a great visit isn't it! Thanks for dropping by the channel!
One of my favourite islands in the Aegean. Great work 👌
Thanks for the support! We loved it there!
Laugh a second! Great to see the lads having a good banter - and the drone pilot's doing a great job, too. Keep up the productions, whatever you do - It'll be a treasure trove to delve into in the years to come. Bottled memories 😊
More to come!
Cool footage bro
Thanks 👍
I love oliver
