The Edge Hill Cutting into historic Lime Street Station is one of the most awe inspiring sights in railroaddom. Especially when considering it was dug out by 1000s of labourers in the early/middle 1800s long before the era of heavy excavation machinery. I still get chills each time I watch a video of the approach.
indeed and the air vents they dug out...amazing shovels picks and wheelbarrows...imagine people today...they would refuse...too mauch hard work,the workers back then wore suits and hats digging...amazing men....and chat moss dont forget...basically sticks...bails of cotton then ballast by the 1000`s of tons all by hand moved to over 30ft high embankment. absolutley stunning .
Very nice train ride! I love these videos you do in the cockpit of the train. I understand the lengths of time between making your movies. Thanks for this clip, from Atlanta, GA, USA.
I enjoy both of them. I wonder what your next video might be ? Thanks for sharing them again. Hope it won't be too awfully long. Best regards and again thanks, Dana from Blue Springs, Missouri, USA.
Well, I never thought I would watch that all the way. It was really interesting following along with Maps and matching the scenery with the map and getting the stations right. Manchester was awkward to follow. Oh well, I wonder where my next trip will be?
Great vid'! Doing the captions & info overlays would be well worth the effort for the benefit of your loyal subscribers / those of us who don't know the route at all, even if it's only flagging each of the stations stopped at or run through. Thanks for putting this one up though 👍
I recall a 20mph speed limit line where passes hatchery...this it ? beautiful scenery ideal terrain for the 158 thanks. driver knows line well. this is good sat eating my tea watching this..
Fantastic, something good to watch on a wet afternoon. The full route from Manchester P to Cleethorpes doesn't appear to have been video'd, any possibility of doing this sometime please?
Fantastic. I love the buildings in Dewsbury, very unique. And it was a shame that one car unit at 1.23.20 had an amber light, would have loved a race! Was it going to Huddersfield, Halifax or Hebden Bridge?
Can you please advise what class of DMU this was filmed from please - I would really appreciate it as I like to associate a picture of the unit with the video. Thanks and best regards, Dana.
the four major stations after leaving scarborough are.York..Leeds..Manchester then Liverpool.not hard really.good game with a map out trying to figure out where you are based on them four major stations. better game than being told all the time. i never use sat nav...more interesting journey without.
I see the train driving on double track, but at 46m00s, in York just before the bridge over river Ouse the track has a few meters single track. Why is that? Was the railway company out of money? (Excuse me for my bad English)
Really I'd like a pro-rail employee to watch these UK-cabview videos (pro-rail is the maintainer of the Dutch railroads). Seeing all those meadows connected to each other over the track with nothing but a "W"-sign for the driver in order to blow the horn (Yes, I know "W" means "Whist;e" as a leftover from the steam era).... They'd all die of a heart attack I tell ya.... Well, that one aside, this is a nice ride, although I am not really a meadow fan, but still... Those mechanical signals... Are they still officially in use? Some of them are placed in a manner that makes me think so, sometimes even with a screen behind them (if you ask me in order not to confuse train drivers coming from the opposite direction, am I wrong?)
The Brits are not the only ones culpable. In videos of Austrian branch lines I see that, when a forest trail crosses the train track, there is just a Stop sign with a crossbuck--no gates or lights. The Brits dislike centralization of power. They like to go their own way and do their own thing--an attitude which the Americans inherited.
@@Xenogeek2 "The Brits dislike centralization of power." Oh, really? I hadn't noticed...... (*cough*cough*brexit*cough*cough*).... I do wonder if the concept of a UNITED kingdom does then not go against their own principals... Just saying... But centralization of power and preventing accidents are two different things, and in this case I doubt centralization of power has anything to do with these unsafe situations, but I guess I'll just be too stupid to understand.
With no station/place names put up, 50% of interest lost. From NZ, I'm trying to follow the journey on Google Earth, which is disappointingly hit-and-miss.
It completely baffles me why Trans Pennine trains stop at Lea Green and yet their Manchester Airport to Scotland services go through Bolton without stopping, whoever is in charge clearly has a pea for a brain.
Transpennine express Runs a service from Manchester Airport to Preston, which is the only service that does stop at Bolton.. Northern Rail runs Express services to Blackpool North from Manchester Airport calling at Bolton...
Was going to ask max speed 90 ?...then saw sign SP 90 lol...IIRC isnt it custom to give 3 tooots at that Sig Box at about 15 mins ?....nice scenery for driver...dont get bored of being stuck in valley ,plenty to look at. shame that when you reach large towns\cities so much shit chucked on tracks etc...people are lazy and dirty. Shame on Leeds so messy approach.
Lovely video. But can't help feel a lot of the route has potential and crying out for investment. With all the money going on projects like HS2. Passengers along this route could benefit. Electrification Station upgrades improving on rolling stock etc. Still great video. I just see lot of potential here
Just played Mike Oldfields `Incantations` album over watching this & I was transformed to another world.
Thank you for the video. :)

I've seen it before and it still astounds me.

@Adrian R this is not edge hill ormskirk miles away.this is edge hill liverpool
Liverpool Lime Street is the oldest mainline terminus in the world
wow
Very nice train ride! I love these videos you do in the cockpit of the train. I understand the lengths of time between making your movies. Thanks for this clip, from Atlanta, GA, USA.
Love this video. Holiday’d in Scarb’ and live in liverpool and took this very journey back on my own staring out of the side window the whole way 👍
I don't love this video because of lack of captions. That means no information. Now it's travelling blind......
I used to take my kids to Manchester at Christmas, in the early 1980s. Big class 46 locos and several mk1 coaches in use back then . . .

Wonderful video and relaxing to watch first time I've been to Scarborough 😂 thanks
Execellent video my friend!!
Very well done !!
Watch it often!
Thank you for a good work!!
Beautiful scenery!!
Really liking this great way to unwind and fall asleep ....as long as you're not driving the train! :D :D
Another exciting trip. Brings back many happy memories

I uploaded the one with captions a month ago

Video125 have filmed this route:
Never mind - you note this in your previous videos.

No speed caption
Can you please advise what class of DMU this was filmed from please - I would really appreciate it as I like to associate a picture of the unit with the video. Thanks and best regards, Dana.
@Lewis25. More likely to be a 185, 😊
Yep. Transpennine Express.
Great video. Shame no captions. Would have been good to see the stations we were going through
There is a version with captions. This was provided specifically for someone who wanted it without them.
the four major stations after leaving scarborough are.York..Leeds..Manchester then Liverpool.not hard really.good game with a map out trying to figure out where you are based on them four major stations. better game than being told all the time. i never use sat nav...more interesting journey without.
Awesome journey was it a Class 185 or 68? bit through Standidge Tunnel worth the price of admission!
Good video but I think I prefer having the captions and overlays if that works as constructive feedback?
The captions are available on other videos on my channel. This was uploaded for someone who requested it without captions
Ben Elias Aha! Fair enough! Still a good video! Thanks for quick reply and explaining that to me! Have a good weekend!
Was it a class 68 or 185
185

Where steven gerrard ?
wish you would show station names
Hot stuff.
Would be more interesting if you named the stations and passing places, otherwise a really sharp video thanks.
This was a caption free version because it was specifically requested. There is a captioned version on my channel.
Did that train just appear from nower then, time 21 minutes and 14 seconds can sum1 have a luk plz an let me no coz it's mad lol
Why aren’t tunnels lit up in the 21st century

There's a captioned version on my channel
On top of that ,people have jobs.Captioning and putting detailed info about the surroundings and history would most likely take days to edit.
Long tunnels for long ears
Pity no captions, nowt woss than then u dont know where U R
There is a video on my channel with captions
Captions would help us from down south
I posted the version with captions a month ago
Id be going the other way
No way that’s where I live Lea green station
It completely baffles me why Trans Pennine trains stop at Lea Green and yet their Manchester Airport to Scotland services go through Bolton without stopping, whoever is in charge clearly has a pea for a brain.
We stop at Bolton
these things baffle me to, there's Liverpool - London trains stop at Runcorn..WHY? nothing there yet dont stop at Rugby Nuneaton or Watford.
Transpennine express Runs a service from Manchester Airport to Preston, which is the only service that does stop at Bolton..

This route is now served by new Class 68 Nova3 units. It would be nice however, to some electrification between Victoria and Leeds.
