The more I think about it...GTA:Tyne City would be awesome! The accents, Metro...all the bridges over the River Tyne....Airport....
@@Isee3and a GTA game in the uk and I would love it to be in the 1980s or 1990s
seems pretty fire
1980s @@loco4loco
To see the original Gateshead Interchange - it looked so... exposed, so open, so transitory, certainly nothing like the superb facility that sits there now.
Newcastle metro has so much potential
Yea
this makes me happy. daily.
Bring back the old Haymarket station building!
Another beautifully composed production. I love your combinations, definitely evoke a true definition of nostalgia and emotion.
That is indeed my goal! I feel this one is particularly good at that, so I'm glad to see you agree!
Another masterpiece for the railwave playlist!
the fact this only has 5k views is criminal, amazing video my guy
Had so much potential until bus deregulation came along. Combined bus and train tickets are a no brainer. Other city regions, especially Leeds and Bristol could do with a system like this. Would be cool to see a video like this for Merseyrail or Manchester Metrolink. Really interesting seeing these places only years before I was born.
Bus deregulation really took integrated transport planning back 100 years. Nearly 50 years on we are just about re-learning the concept - and that's in places with a strong PTE and public transport interest. I've never seen what that world was like, but SYPTE's Sheffield is one other example of how frequent and cheap public transport can dominate - and was ruined by bus deregulation. Anyhow, I would love to make one of these for Metrolink and Merseyrail, alas, these don't have as much footage around.
@@Isee3 Yeah you're right I think they were originally regulated in 1930 and London Transport formed in 1933. Deregulation was in 1986 not long after the Tyne and Wear Metro opened. Maybe it will go full circle. But for some reason buses and trains were rarely integrated with Newcastle being one of the few. Even in London, fares aren't properly integrated today but there is day and week caps and hopper fares at least. I would have preferred the services they ran before deregulation though as they ran buses up to 30 miles from the city which meant the home counties had very frequent buses unlike now. Also that's a shame, but I look forward to anything you make.
Some stunning footage in there! Nice work!
Railwave. North East appreciation.
U should do a railwave video on Shildon or Darlington if u can

Wonderful!
The motorway scheme dreamed up by T Dan Smith in the late sixties would have seen a motorway through Jesmond Dene, the western side of the city centre and through Byker. This was scrapped on cost and environmental grounds in the early seventies, although the CME went ahead and a by pass was built under Jesmond in the nineties. Car ownership levels were lower than average in the county in the seventies, which was another reason for building the Metro, and the British Rail services on Tyneside were becoming poorer and the stations run down.
It would be good if I could double thumbs up.
Perhaps one for London's Victoria line being built? Great video anyways!
Now that is an idea that really could work, I think there is the right footage for it...!
!Good video, like!
Great video, although it makes me a bit sad, the optimism that never materialised and the investment that never arrived to many other places
Thanks! It is my goal to combine optimism with a sad feeling and some nostalgia. One thing I have come to notice finding new source material is how over time the will produce info-films about such projects dies off over time as does the investment and optimism.
The perennial mystery of Tyne and Wear; why doesn't the Metro go to the Metro Centre? 🤔🤔
