Following on from previous comments regarding the pronunciation of Wisbech, a few years ago Rich Hall the American comedian performed at the King's Lynn Corn Exchange. As is usual in comedy shows, there were jokes told about nearby towns. He noted that Wisbech did not have a BEACH and not much WIZZ either!

Hi fella, good report, only marred by0 your mis-pronounciation of Wisbech, historically pronounced Wizbeach. I know others have pointed this out to you already but it's a point worth noting when talking about a place you've not heard of before is to research local and historical dialects. Good luck with your channel and see you again soon. Cheers, Jon B.🤓

Is it just possible that we now have too many heritage railways for them all to financially survive?

Last time i was there the track had been temoved across the wisbech bypass

CumberLAND (since the 12th century)

They've be saying this for years !! I'll believe it when I see it ! Regards the WIZZ - BEACH line re-opening !! The last 30 years in fact !

Just subscribed to your channel. There where I live we have a combination shoreline railroad and heritage railroad. It's called the Sierra Railway. It goes from Riverbank, California to Sonora California. This railway was used for many Hollywood motion pictures such as "High Noon" and "Back to the Future." Also was used in television series such as "The Wild Wild West" and "Petticoat Junction." Bill from central California.

We need more CO2 in the atmosphere! Ask the plants - they would vote for that! Yum yum. Saving lorry trips is a good move, mind.

Line needs to part of the rail network, not a heritage line.

How did you do all that research, but not discover that the town name is pronounced “Wizzbeach”, not Wishbeck…?!

The Peterborough and Cambridgeshire Mayor is pushing for the line to be fully reopened. A major stumbling block is getting the line across the A47. The bad news is the last time the mayor was involved in a railway bridge, it started to fall apart after less than 2 years. This might be because he slashed the budget for it. That bridge at King's Dyke took 40 years to get built.

Where is Wizbeck? Anywhere Wizbeach?

😮All credit to the many thousands of hard working volunteers who have reopened so many lines over the last few decades. However, I think we have to accept that we now in times where expenses are rocketing and the number of volunteers probably peaking mainly due to ageing. Maybe its time to concentrate on consolidating those lines and locos that are now operating? However, I wish them the very best.

Tare is pronounced as in tearing a piece of paper.

Wisbech is pronounced 'Wisbeach'.

Bramley line, check it out, its perfect for reinstatement should anyone choose to put it back into use, was a dumb move closing it and many more like it.

Is this a sign that plans to resume national network passenger rail services along this line are doomed?

I am afraid that the country does not need another heritage line. The ones that are running now are struggling financially and physically with infrastructure problems. Competing with existing heritage lines for a shrinking customer base will achieve little. What Wisbech (as a sizeable town) needs is the restoration of mainline services, but the longer it takes, the less likely it is to happen. The line has been in situ for many years and could have been restored fairly easily, but there has been deterioration and the track over the A47 crossing was lifted. The A47 road itself carries a lot of traffic, but is a disgrace as it is narrow and winding, hence the need for a proper rail service.

When was this

It is pronounced 'Wisbeech"!

You need to redo this, you are using the polish name for Wisbech.

A beautiful ploughing compound,credit to the restoration.

Can’t wait to see 34028 back on the main line network 👍🏻

Just to let you know Wisbech ends with a -tch sound rather than a -k. The Bramley Line folk haven't done that much, sadly, and I don't see that they'll get too far seeing as the local authority wants the line brought back into full use.

Fantastic thank you

One end of the other probably

Awesome channel great video keep them up please like and subscribe thanks for your support and

WTF £30 a ticket?🤬 Open Day in the 1970s used to be 15p. I used to go. Rail200 = zero working class audience. Get rid of that Colin Garratt book ffs. He releases 200 odd books with exactly the same photos in them with a different front cover. Those are generalised coffee table books, not enthusiasts reading.

What a lovely little railway 👍🏻👍🏻

Just so u know, everything that was at Derby went back to there home depot/line there evening after the press event

10,000! They must be having a bloody laugh! People are gonna become from all over the world to see this whether they are British or not, there is something that someone is going to have some historical links to the railways of this country in one way or another. I’m only looking for two tickets for me and my son, hell after this shenanigan, that’s only going to make feel like I’ll be looking for a diamond in a haystack. What about those who buy tickets in big groups? And no disrespect, but this country can show off more than 50 exhibits. If there isn’t the space then find somewhere that does or share it with other organisations like the NRM?

Let’s go!! Nice to see my Local being filmed!😊

Yes yes

Francis Bourgois: He's having a laugh at our expense, taking the p out of trainspotting Geoff Marshall: Class 1 ****** Pete Waterman: Great guy

My brother tried to get tickets (I was working) but he gave in in frustration. Utter incompetence from whoever was running the website.

We managed to get two tickets for the Sunday but my friend who was booking them said it was a total nightmare and took hours but his persistence paid off in the end !!

The main problem I see about adding more days is that of cost. Who knows how much it's costing the organizers just to hold the event already with just 3 days for the staff, entertainment, etc? And if they have to organize appearances of private owned preserved engines would the owners be able to make the stock available for a couple more days?

I bought my ticket about 11am, just had to wait a few minutes. Had no idea there had been a problem. I only found about the whole thing ten minutes before when a mate emailed me about it.

Are the rail operators ready for this event?I remember going to Toton depot travelling from Crewe to Derby & they allocated a class 153 dmu to the service leaving many passengers behind.Lets hope the planners sort it.👍

I think I am one of the luckiest people ever. I somehow managed to get a ticket before the site went down on Friday, and set like a 6am alarm so I could be on the college computer bright and early, expecting Oasis levels of Internet traffic. All my classmates were literally cheering for me when I got one. I almost gave up

Brillair footage. Great to see someone who knows how to use a camera. Sadly sometimes people film layouts in one position and you don't get to see it all. Where as your filming is brilliant. The total opposite. Keep up the good work.

Well, a friend of mine was trying to book for the four of us. He tried about 6 or 7 times. If circa 1,500 tried to make 6 or 7 attempts, then that would equate to 10,000 . Shoddy.

I think 10,000 a day is optimistic. I don't think they will sell that many

Just a quick tip: If you stop being drunk you might remember your intro 👍 🤣

I wholeheartedly agree with you that it should be open over more days. 10K per day is totally inadequate for such a monumental event

I tried buying the tickets on the website and it appears the servers are potatoes
