Life in Yorkshire
Добавлен 14 янв 2018
I’m going back to Yorkshire. Some 17 years after graduating from the University of York I’m returning to a county that has always had a special place in my heart, and I want you to come with me
The bridge demolition marking the start of work on the York Station Gateway project
Back in October 2023 time was ticking for the small footbridge linking Queen Street to the railway Institute. Days later it was due to be demolished, marking the beginning of spade-in-ground work on the York Station Gateway project, which will see major modifications being made to the road layout and transport facilities at the front of York railway station.
Update: I held back this video until I had others to post with it, but somehow never got around to setting it to public. Things have moved on significantly in that time and by the end of this month (April 2024) Queen Street bridge itself will be gone.

Why I’ll miss the Intercity 125 High Speed Train
Просмотров 237Год назад
Last week I recorded a RUclips short of me trying to get some footage of an Intercity 125 train before they are withdrawn in the middle of September 2023. Today is the real deal though, my final journey to work on board a CrossCountry HST and I am in a reflective mood. join me as I attempt to film it arriving at York, before talking a little bit about what it means to me.

Visiting Saltaire and its Victorian tramway
srsly, leeds train station.... IT IS SO DIFFUCLT TO UNDERSTAND THIS INNOVATIVE BULDING.... i lost my train because 3 ways shows the number i should take, i went thru the arrows, and security told me theres no more trains on this side today... WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my ticket said 3rd, and my train was at 1st!!!!!! dickheads, leeds should swap elderley with dementia to brand new younger employees
I tried to find out what Cullercoats and Whitleey Bay is, without Internet, because there was no in those times. A road map (paper!) did the trick by chance.
Was it Yorkshire Tea?
Thank you for the ride ,childhood memories, it was almost always ride up walk down and im sure there was z place for coffee teas and icecreams and some rides.
sad seeing part of York's rich history being knocked down but a good image when it's all done next year so yep great video
I was frequently hearing this song on a radio somewhere in the background when I was a child. It never got old and it’s was one of my favorites for road trips in high school and college. It’s even better as an adult. Thanks for posting this clip! I must visit Whitley Bay. It’s now on my bucket list.🏝️

First closure of the main road/bridge was last weekend. It was reasonably well sign posted, but some drivers were still confused, I assume given their manoeuvres. Assuming all goes well I think it will close again this weekend. Not the level of mayhem I was expecting, given it is a major bus interchange. Traffic seemed fine, I only ventured to the roundabout Round the Wall, near Lendal Bridge.
Good video, look forward to seeing more of the progress.
2:42 That road is classified as part of Queen Street, known locally as the "Queen Street Slip Road".
Thanks. That makes sense. I fear it is about to get more traffic than it ever bargained for…
Thank you for the latest upload
I can remember walking under there to go to the railway museum.
Wrong bridge
@@JLM304 - probably before your time.
Thanks - nice video.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting.
My top 1 favorite song in the world!
Free adventures! Hurrah!!!
I've never heard of this. I must do this
Great video mate. I will just say though and I know obviously you’re not an expert but that train at the end was a class 180 not an LNER class 800 AZUMA.
Oh dear, schoolboy error! I appreciate you pointing it out so nicely.
@@LifeInYorkshire no worries. It’s easily mistaken.
Thank you for allowing vicarious enjoyment!!!
Im very sad to have never seen both 43's, hopefully they have a good afterlife! 😢
I just love how much quieter a locomotive hauled train is compared to DMU and even compared to some EMUs. They also just felt much more roomier and comfortable than the Voyagers that Crosscountry also have. I especially appreciated that these still had a quiet coach. I'm going to miss these trains but they had to go eventually I suppose
An excellent video. How do you make them? i enjoy your emphasis on sound. One of my joys is to stand on Newcastle Central and listen to the squeal of train wheels as they object to the sharpness of the track curve.
Thanks very much. I just use iMovie on iOS. I haven’t found another iPhone based VideoEditor which is sufficiently accessible, which is a little frustrating and quite limiting.
It's lovely to get another view of Life In Yorkshire. I had missed you and your videos!
That’s very kind, thank you. It just takes me so long to edit any video. I have plenty of footage waiting to be combined into something, but just no time or energy to do it,
@@LifeInYorkshire it's hard to muster time and energy for so much in the 2023 of it all. Please feel free to share less polished videos of your favourite footage. Your fans appreciate you!
It also looks like you are riding Gio 😂
I might have actually beaten Mark have I done that!
Absolutely charming! ♡♡♡
Sort of holy ground for dire straits fans, nice Spanish city😉
Delightful!
Oh wow, I just read the description. I hadn't realised you are a visually impaired person. Gio's importance as a very good doggo is clearer! I find your compositions and views super. The philosophy of Lomography seems well represented in your work. :)
Looks promising!
What is your doggo's name?
He’s Gio.
@Life in Yorkshire please tell Gio he's a very good doggo, thank you
Nifty!
Lovely... just the way it is. The sounds of waves and children playing.❤. Canada sends love.
Delightful
A splendid outing! The sunken arch is a highlight!
Apparently it has now been underpinned, but I think I would be reluctant to sit underneath it just in case…
Just found the channel and it's delightful. I grew up in Bradford and worked at Salt's Mill in the weaving shed for a time and it was huge. The Tramway at Shiply Glen was always an element of a day out and it was the only place way back in the late 60s and early 70s where I saw Red squirrels and just wondering if they still exist?
How long does it take?
3 hours
Just under two hours and 20 minutes, but the bus is comfortable and the views are spectacular. It probably takes a similar amount of time to take the train, changing in Middlesbrough, but the views are not nearly as impressive.
Looks like a Big job to change the road layout. 😊
Nice!
Thanks!
Yes, York station is great. Leeds City is NOT, except for the art deco bit connecting with City Square, which used to be entire station concourse, but is now just shops giving onto a car park, not railway lines. How were all the lines running to or through Leeds accommodated on so few platforms? Leeds Central was then operating, just down the road in Wellington Street. I remember it only as dingy, poorly maintained and unloved. The original Saltaire "model village" was built not only with superior, comfortable housing, but nurseries, good schools two libraries, a theatre and all sorts of worthy amenities. But NO PUBS -they were BANNED. As you point out, Titus Salt deemed "the use of alcohol as a beverage" to be the road to perdition, but just for the working class, not for him. He wasn't actually teetotal himself, and enjoyed fine wines. What sort of crite did you say? The name of the pub you went to is not the only thing taken in vain. I haven't been there for many years, but I'm told there is now a fashionable (i.e. probably expensive) bar called 'Don't Tell Titus'. I hope it continues under that name.
reading comments interesting how people have left these areas. lack of jobs?
This is amazing ❤

For me living in Ukraine it's a great opportunity to know England better. Thanks. Great opportunities to you! To a new encounter .
Thanks everyone for your lovely, encouraging comments. I don’t think I’ve ever had so many views on a video before, despite having had another channel, @BearingAwayUK , for much longer than this one. I will try to get some more long form videos up, but it takes me forever to edit them, so please bear with me!
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Walking pace. Rats! 😢
Thought we were going to look around at the top.
Wow. I can’t believe how quickly you get about with your dog. I don’t move that fast and I can see clearly where I’m going. I last did this train trip just before Christmas 2019 and I think it was when I caught what I now realise was Covid! Saltaire is a very interesting place to visit.
A place l have wanted to visit. Great video
I think you are amazing 👏 😊
I Have been to Saltaire two or three times and have never heard of the tramway. It's now on my to do list this coming summer. Thanks.
Great video of a part of the world I've never visited. I was born in Barnoldswick but left at the age of 1 although I love to travel to my homeland after 50 years in Australia - if only via RUclips. Thanks for the privilege.
