Unfortunately "Autobahn" doesn't mean "car railway". While the word "Bahn" nowadays is also used as a short word for "Eisenbahn" (railway), it originally just means "way" or "path" (specifically one that has been "forced" through something, a forest, for example). Nowadays it's used in many ways, especially compound words, which have nothing to do with railways: Rennbahn (racing track), Landebahn (airplane runway), Rutschbahn (slide), Eisbahn (ice rink), and many more.
I remember the toll booths to just access the road back in the mid 90s. They were just past the turning for knoll beach. You can still see the wider road on left hand side..
The properties which have access to the road are outside of the area covered by the toll. The ferry seems to be out of action more often than it is working - you're not the only tourist (or 'Grockle', as we locals call them) to be disappointed.
This is awesome! I wish I could go there one day! However, I think the cuts between Google Maps and drone shots are a little bit abrupt, and also the sped-up driving section was a little bit out of place. That's said, I do think it is a great idea to show the Google Maps satellite image. The first second I saw it, ah, that looks awfully like a floodplain, and then I notice that there is a clear colour difference on the south side of the isle of Purbeck-interesting!
As England has M1, M2, M3, M4, M5 and M6 and Scotland has M8 and M9. And Wales has M4. But there isn’t no motorway called M7 which I find it very strange. Except other countries that do have a M7 Motorway and not England or Scotland.
M7 is reserved for Scotland; unlike England and Wales they strictly number motorways after A-roads they bypass or replace, and haven't felt the need to bypass the A7 with a motorway yet.
Thank goodness no one came up with such an idea. Instead part of the Waverley Line has been reopened after a long campaign, and the next section to reopen, serving Melrose, Newton St Boswells and Hawick, ought be being progressed now...

I saw this video and immediately thought of the Bus 50 Bournemounth-Swanage, its a scenic bus route that goes on the ferry mentioned in the video!
My nan lives down in Swanage, and I was highly disappointed last month to see the ferry was not in operation.

That is quite a way from Brum, the beaches around there are lovely.

Nice to come in from a long dog walk in the snow and see the South Coast. Great vid as usual and lovely drone footage.
Thanks 👍
A motorway (autobahn) has a hard shoulder and unlevel crossings, as well as a divider (median)
Great, random video

The M7 would run from Carlisle to Edinburgh and would replace the A7 under Scottish numbering laws.
