7:00: "I am the happiest, right now, that I have ever been in my life". Nothing more needs to be said, really. Love that. It's what everybody deserves. Keep on keeping on. 👍
What a great video. Full of positivity, enthusiasm, laughter and smiles! A typical GLovesTrains video! It's great to hear someone say they are happy in life... it's a real breath of fresh air that is sure to pick anybody up! You go G! 👍
Here, here. Well said John.
As many have said G, you bring and have brought joy to an awful lot of people( especially during lockdown), your enthusiasm, and the love you have for trains really shines though in every vlog you make, but most of all you are a beautiful person inside and out, the world NEEDS many more people with your outlook and personality, Your journey from those dark places to where you are now is so inspiring.
Carry on the great work G. Looking forward to he next one. Stay safe.
That was brilliant. I am sorry to hear you have had rough times in the past. I have also had difficulties. There is always tomorrow though, the sun always rises and we can begin again. You bring a huge amount of joy to those of us who watch you. Your seemingly boundless enthusiasm is infectious. It is good to know that doing what you do brings as much joy to you as it does to others.
Excellent video, G! Long may you continue to enjoy being GLovesTrains, and you're also giving thousands of us enjoyment as well. Nice to see that the Jurassic Park set hasn't changed much in the last couple of years too!
Hahaha! Was thinking about Jurassic Park when I was there lol
Thanks G, really enjoyed this particular blog. You are a really nice honest person so it was good that you shared some personal things with us ‘fans’.
I can so relate trains becoming a lifeline for you during a difficult time. I hated School, couldn’t wait to leave, trains and signal boxes became my escape. I had two railrover tickets as a 13 year old and did over 7000 miles in two weeks. I went on to become a signalman….sad to say…I still love my trains….oh and walking old railways and canals plus a bit of wild swimming. Wonder what the day job is?. Take care. 🚂👣🚴♂️🇺🇦
different type of video but like i've said before, you bring so much joy into my life and the lives of others, so keep up the great work G and i cant wait for next weeks video
Thanks John , much appreciated!
I agree, I really look forward to G's new videos, and I am not even a train enthusiast, but i am getting to love them.
Excellent!!!
Thanks for sharing. It’s great you are so happy with yourself. Good luck for the future
So great to hear you are now feeling so happy. That's all that is important. You cheered me up by being so positive. xx
Are you the same Brian Bell, I did Alaska with in 2010 ?
"Happiest I've ever been in my life", it shows and it's wonderful to see.
Smashing vlog G. You present a good and truthful tour of your love for the railway. Bring on some more. PS I know Niagara falls very well but if you seek further for a vac break try trains from Paris to the Palace of Versailles, the flowing waters and statues are not by lakes or canals but gems to behold. Chris
Aww, what you say at the end is lovely. It's great to be happy 😁
Same here, way back in 1974 , things were not to good at home and for some reason I was drawn to my local station Stoke on Trent, from then on I spotted and loved travelling by train, it was an escape .Great video and really well done
Wonderful vlog again G. Great Q and A. I actually knew a bunch of your answers. Glad your little snot checker is back to work but is now a cheeky little knickers thief too! Naughty! As far as I'm concerned, your vlogs are the most entertaining on RUclips. Miles of smiles and yours are so infectious. 😂❤🌊(flowing water)
Mmm flowing water!
Another Excellent Vid 👌 Keep up the Excellent Work 👏 👍 👌 😀 Stay well and Stay Safe.
Really nice Q&A. I don’t think I’ve ever done a Q&A from Instagram just live ones myself lol . So it was nice to some of these questions and answers! I enjoyed watching as always.
I think it works best on Instagram 👍thanks Sam
Yes, Preston station! My station. Your favourite vlog was my favourite of your vlogs too, this is how I discovered your channel.
Hi G, I just found this video afyer watching your latest one and now I have a better understanding of who and what you are about. You are clearly in your happy place now, enjoying your life creating some great memories. I loved the clever bit of editing where there were 2 Gs...that was clever...
Take care,
Jon B.😊
Excellent G
What a total inspiration you are thank you x
We really enjoy your style and your passion shows through, thanks for sharing it with us
Because of you I get to see all those trains and views I’ll never get the time to do and see so thank you Glovestrains keep it up 🇮🇪🤘🏴
Somehow…despite watching all your vlogs …I thought…..only just found this one…..thanks for your honesty. You have created something very special. Good luck . G to G. x. 🚂🚴♂️🤬🇺🇦
Ha - Preston's my favourite too! My family moved to the area when I was about ten and I used to take myself off to the station every Saturday, just spend the day looking around the station and watching trains. I still love the place now, I get a little disappointed when I have to change trains there but don't get long enough for a wander around. Btw Heart of Wales line is gorgeous and Arnside is absolutely the right choice - that viaduct 😍
Love your enthusiasm. Just makes me smile 😊
You have such great energy. We Love you her In Pennsylvania. Thank you for showing all of us so many places! You are Awesome!!!
After North Wales you should do South East Scotland!!
Great video G!
How genuine and honest.
Love your work.
Hi G , thank you for your hilarious and wonderful vlogs. You’ve helped me get out of a bad place and (along with another train vlogger who’s name starts with G) has inspired me to get out for an adventure by train.
Keep up the good work 👍
Woo-hoo,another great video G 💯 Preston is a classic mainline station,i lived in Ashton on Ribble for a while and was intrigued by the history,there used to be a line branching off it's south end where the viaduct is.
Noting your love for long walks by the canal Chesterfield is the place you might want to visit,
you can walk all the way from the station towards Staveley,a distance of 5 miles,but halfway through the journey at around 3 miles,the canal path runs parallel with both the former Great Central Railway "Chesterfield loop" (look out for an occupation bridge and an infilled footbridge) and the "Old Road" Midland Railway which is still active with Class 66 freight and the occasional DMU,Voyager & Meridan heading into Sheffield on a diversion.At the Hollingwood Canal stop off near Barrow Hill there is the remains of both Staveley Ironworks Railway Station (parts of one platform still intact) and the huge derelict Ironworks site,whilst a 5 minute walk to the north from here will bring you to Barrow Hill Roundhouse,which is chock full of steam & diesel locos,and an outbuilding also hosting Deltic preservation.There are plans to re-introduce stations on the "Old Road",one of them bieng on the former site of Barrow Hill Station which is planned to be renamed "Barrow Hill & Staveley".Would be nice if you came and did a blog of the station site,then return in 10 years time when it is open again!
In addition to that is Markham Footbridge,which is just 400 metres north of Chesterfield Railway Station,and Tapton House,once the home of George Stephenson. This area is trainspotters paradise,both because of the open girder nature of the bridge (no high fencing to pear over) but also the sheer variety of passenger,
freight,charter & steam which passes through.🥰
Hi G, that was truly inspirational. Thank you for sharing, and doing it in such a positive way. Please keep making your vlogs, I love watching them.
Thanks Sandra!!
Another fantastic video. Only you could make a Q&A actually interesting and different. Cant wait for the future of your channel. And everything else to come 💕 xxx
Thanks Louse, ooo what else is to come i wonder 😂xxx
@@GLovesTrains If only someone had a list going 🤣🤣💕 xxxx
Great video. Keep 'em coming please. Very entertaining.
Never tried a Wigan Pie Barn, I heard that it exists and seen photos but never tried one, Brilliant get to know me Q&A G and nice to see your snot checker make a appearance. But to be honest riding trains or siting on platforms is a escapism for me as well, it nice and peaceful. But I honestly do enjoy the hobby and enjoy entertaining for people as well. Awesome Video G
Try one try one haha, thanks Cyber! Nice and peaceful and best when it's sunny too 😂
It’s barm as in barm cake, try one with a babbys yed on mmmmm
One for the algorithm. You're flippin great fun G! U make us all smile! Thanks a million 👍👍
I love your videos and your vibrant enthusiasm for all things trains , keep posting Avec knickers on your head he he!
The strange and also fascinating thing about Preston station is seeing a train disappear down quite a steep incline onto the Preston Docks line. Many many fond memories of sitting at the stabling sidings on Platform three.
My Grandmother’s family from Wigan. Fond place in my heart for there.
You love trains love it
I came across your video's on you tube last night Llandudno (11.09.24) I am very impressed with your enthusiasm and the places you have visited, so I have subscribed ... I like the way you are full of youth and life! So Good On Yer!
A question ... Have you been to West Kirby on The Wirral Peninsula ?
Thanks! And yes I've been over to the wirral 😂
Recently found your channel, follow a few railway related RUclips sites (couple in US) but your's has a unique style, sensible video duration and usually great scenery. Very watchable.
Nice to see someone enjoying life.Good luck to you.
You keep just being you...You bring a smile to so many faces with your vlogs...also you have so much in common with us too...a lot of your answers would have been mine too..although the Pulsars are a bit bread and butter for me lol...You really must do the Heart of Wales line.... spectacular all year round... keep em coming G, it's what Tuesdays were made for.
I shall do! Thanks national1075!
Ah, Preston Station! Been there on the way to Blackpool, and it was absolutely heaving that day - came down on a lovely LNER Azuma, and went First Class for the very first time in me life! Felt really posh!!! Thanks for a fun video, and the admission of a wee bit of bus enthusiasm...!
Fantastic Q+A video G nice to get to know you more im the same i like to travel around on trains this also helped me through bad times and watching you're wonderful travels also helps thank you very much hope you have lots and lots more fantastic and interesting journeys ❤❤❤❤❤
Aww thanks Stuart, same back at ya 😀
@@GLovesTrains thank you so much 🚂🚂
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this, and I have to start by saying this is without a doubt the most inspiring channel I have seen on RUclips (and watching your videos has inspired me to think more positively)
The Heart of Wales line is definitely worth a visit, but beware if you are thinking of visiting every station, there are 28 dodgy stations on that line with some very long waits between trains
Anyway, looking forward to many more happy Choosdays in the future.
Take care and stay safe
good potential with so few trains on that line to do her long walks between stations as well
Thanks Thornaby 37! Haha ill be aware cheers!
Nice Q@A G! I can't wait for more train Vlogs.
Heart of Wales line is gorgeous! Yet people barely know about it, definitely recommend! West Highland Line from Glasgow to Fort William and Mallaig is gorgeous too, actually lives up to the hype.
Fort William not a bad shout!
@@GLovesTrains you may as well come to Oban as well if you are up that way 😃
Nice vids by the way 👍
Deffo recommend Heart of Wales line
THANK YOU, G for all the hard work.
II admit I stumbled on to your blogs while skiving off instead of doing my medical misadventure rehab and I will say that the Kirkby Stephens episode was my favourite and I got so jealous. My love for trains grew from a Canadian cross-country rail trip but the ultimate was 35 days from Hong Kong to Frankfurt via Mongolia and Russia by train.
KEEP up the GOOD INFORMATIVE blogging.
Bore da G
Bore da!
Brilliant! Really enjoy your videos, keep doing what you’re doing 😀👏🏼
Brilliant video G! Really enjoyed this Q&A video
Really enjoyed your station stay. Hope you do another one.
Thank you for doing these vlogs!
Hi G you are brilliant. This a brilliant vlog your accent is amazing. I love trains. So can understand how much fun & interesting it is. Keep posting xx
Yes! Come to Canada! Most of the trains you can ride are in Ontario and Quebec. Out west there isn’t much except expensive tourist trains, although we do have nice mountains to visit.
One of my favourite ever train trips was from Edmonton to Vancouver. The service may have terrible punctuality, speed and frequency, but it does have incredible views, service, amenities and comfort.
Fun Fact: I’m sort of in your vlog when you stayed in a station. I was aboard the Midland Pullman and waved as we passed (yes, a real stretch! 🤣).
Great Video G. Whenever get time I always enjoy watching your Vlogs.
I’m glad that you’re also in a good place in your life 👍🏿👏🏿🛤🚂xxx
The heart of wales line,get down here it’s brilliant!
Thanks for the Q A A video learned a few interesting points about you. Your love of trains is so addictive. Your personality is great!!😎🚉🚉🚉🚉💚🇬🇧🇺🇦
Cheers Christopher!
i really enjoyed this one brilliant Q & A video
Thankyou!
Arnside also start point crossing more camber bay. Niagara Falls excellent
Did you know that from Preston station you can quickly get to where the canal basin used to be, then follow the route until you get to the start of what remains of it? Once you get there you can visit the Millennium Link, which is the only new piece of canal construction in more than a century?
G, as someone once said, there are more questions than answers, and the more I find out the less I know. But I still want to know more about G💖Trains!
Glad to hear you love what you do! 😀
Ah fab vlog! And well done on the pronunciation! I've never done Heart of Wales line but I really want to!
I don't know what it is about a train ride, but being transported by something at 125mph does it for me
Very cool to know where it came from. Your videos never fail to amuse and delight.
I'm always down Liverpool
a lovely little getting to know you video,thanks G,i really enjoy your vlogs,i especially liked the midland day ranger halloween special one you did,i must have watched it about 20 times,hope your well pal stay safe and keep doing the great work👍😆❤️SQUISHY BOOBIES
Brilliant Q&A G, and the snot checker part was brilliant. The heart of Wales line does sound like a good line to ride. And I also agree witht this hobby being a way to escape from the bad moments in life and what have you. Keep up the good work, always enjoy watching your content. :)
Hahah I try catch that lil snot checker one day! 😂
You are quite right, Preston station is the best. 👍
great q and a g share your love for trains and also spend a fair bit of time at preston although Carlisle citadel edges it for me lol
Interesting video. Surprised Parton was not your fav request stop but I see why you would chose Pleasington. Good to see the fountain at Mesnes Park looking in good order. A jewel in Wigan's crown. Enjoyable as always..👌
Oh my days yeah the fountain is back!
Thank You 😉
Fantastic Q and A video
3:21 I live just a stop away from Pleasington woop woop; I can actually walk there if I wanted to!
Hey G your a wonderful person you do a brilliant job makeing these videos thanku can't wait for next one take care stay safe x 💯😊
This was fun! 👍🏼
Did someone say pulsar? Yes :)
Honestly, Yeah. The S&C staycation vlog was absolutely magical, I have to agree with you. A lovely little Q&A G, Genuinely one of my favourite creators on this platform.
Thanks Kieran!
Keep up the great work G. Love your vlog's.x
You scored many points by liking Eurovision. Love the positivity and the happy vibe. The Wigan foodstuff prompts me to suggest you try a filled Staffordshire oatcake …there’s a great shop just down the road from Longport station…
Loving oneself first is way to spread joy. Loving kindness meditation recommend ed !!!
Such a great & entertaining channel!! Big fan!
Love your work, so much joy!
You are bloody amazing
You really need to visit Wem, on the crewe - Shrewsbury line. Breathtakingly beautiful. Two minutes from miles of County and you might even spot Greg Davies who lives there
Hi G, i saw you on the train on the conwy valley line on thursday and you got off at pont y pant
I hope you enjoyed your trip on the line, its wonderful scenery and my favourte line to use in wales.
Lot of questions lot of answers,it s amazing,the best vlog was Preston station,you had been triggered to love trains,it's nice to see a girl sitting alone in a lonely station watching up and down train running so fast
Fab vid, great channel, thanks a lot!
Always a good watch whotever the type of video, I can understand its hard at the moment to get out and about with these strikes all the time but G your doing the very best u can, look forward to the rest of the Wales V blogs when you can get out there again. Keep doing whot your doing as its the very best watch over all others on you tube 👍🙂
Brilliant vlog thank you for sharing ❤️
Yes, come visit Canada! The train from Toronto to Niagara Falls will probably be the busiest train you've ever ridden. During the summer they run 12 car double decker trains and the morning departure from Toronto typically had around 1500 passengers on board.
Great video Georgia nice to hear that you are in a great place and so happy with your life,by the way your pie barm is known as a Wigan kebab XX 😊💞✅✅👍👍
Hi again G.🙂 I don't really comment much (if at all) on any of your videos as I can't think what to add. But I'm regularly sat in the background watching them, either on my pc or on my phone. Hehe.
I do enjoy a lot of your
videos. You show some quite nice locations, and even more so for e.g. when you visited Lake Windermere... or is it still "windy smere" as you so renamed it?😋 You gave me the giggles at that for a short while. Hehe. I went there myself in the past with a small group of people. It's a massive lake with very nice scenery too. I remember we had a short boat ride about half way round, which made for a good day out. It was some years ago now, and a nice memory too. I never went there by train (never knew it was an option til now) but rather by mini-bus. (from a hostel I was staying at not far from there) I'm now hoping I might be able to visit there by train one day.☺️
Back to this current video... I'm
kinda glad you mentioned the train strikes, (just briefly) I've heard about it too and have been wondering if you knew this too. You do seem to know now, so that's good. I feel it does make train travel a bit of a worry though when you can't go out and enjoy yourself travelling on them as you have done for at least a year now. What a shame. I really hope it doesn't last too long so you can go back out and show off more of your excellent train filming adventures to those of us who love to watch them. (including me hehe😋😋☺️)
Gosh, I'm so sorry I typed so much. I'm quite embarassed now. It's not normally this bad. I hope I haven't bothered you too much. :-/
I just have one more thing to add.
This is just a question I have relating to what I've just been saying about the train strikes. I have a feeling you may not answer, or may not have time. (as I've noticed with some of the other comments on here) Just a very short reply would be fine, (not like my looooong yaaaaawn city one though😋) but If not, no worries at all.☺️
Okay, so just a quick question, and I feel that anyone out there (who including G, also uses the trains frequently) could answer for me if they can please?
So I've just been wanting to know.. does anyone out there think they may have any idea at all as to how long they think the strikes may last until please? (this much I don't know) I googled this a couple of days ago, it mentioned half way through June. However it says July under G's video since she mentioned the strikes. So I'm a left feeling a bit confused now
whether the strikes are still on or not. I'm assuming you can't go anywhere at all on the trains while this is happening either?
Again, I'm very sorry this has taken me a silly length of time to type out. I hope I haven't bothered anyone too much. I'm done now. (just about)
Hoping to catch up on watching more brilliant GLovesTrains videos when these strikes are over. Keep going G, your'e doing a really brilliant job with them, you're a fab RUclipsr. ☺️😎
My favourite vlog is stay at the railway station as well!
trains have kept me going all my life
Apparently, we share two hobbies: trains and water.
I even work at a water board / water authority in The Netherlands.
That "Wigan Kebab" looked tasty. Brill videos, G, keep 'em coming.
I enjoy your videos. Thank you very much.
Very well done to you like you I find trains transport a great way what ever going in our lives don’t mind me asking what is your full time job if that’s ok keep up the Brest work you are doing on the group Paul in Kent
Have you got any ambitions filming videos on walking on former railway lines, possibly linking up with current routes? X
Awesome.🙂
