Pity the stations place names werent on screen as we go along
Travelling through the eyes of others 👍👍 The music the weather all came together. So mellow, beautiful. The Welsh language 🙂
As a second comment, could I just say that this journey is through a lovely piece of Countryside. It reminds us what a beautiful place the UK is when you get away from Towns and Cities. I watched this twice and the music and atmosphere grows on you, thank you.
welsh is the worst language in the world people who stick up for welsh are those that can only say a couple of words in welsh ! i was born in cardiff i would rather learn any other language than welsh. all my friends also born in wales are white people but all like me dislike the racists welsh speakers and hopefully more immigrants from INDIA PAKISTAN AFRICA COME TO WALES ALSO OTHER COUNTRIES ALL ARE WELCOME WELSH SPEAKERS ? THANK YOU NO WAY WOULD I WANT TO ASSOCIATE MYSELF WITH THESE PEOPLE.
I’m sure that the visual video was lovely, but I copped out after a while because I just couldn’t stomach nearly an hour of that sound track!
Hit the Mute button while listening to something else.
I listen to UK folk, blues, rock music while watching these train videos.
Many more like this please. Brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wonderful countryside and places to visit
These are great but do they come without the music & the real sound of the journey-also would be useful to say where they are & even better show on a map
I can understand where you are coming from with the music & map.. But I found it very good to trace wherever the Lines take you is great to use the video's with Google earth which gives you a lot of help & pleasure with these great videos.
I muted the soundtrack and put on some Pink Floyd, far mor appropriate 😎
I would like names for the stations at least.
@@paulaj2829 To do that, you need to know that the destination is actually called Knucklas. Call it Cnwclas and you won't find it on railway web sites. Better to stick to what the locals call it.
Thank you for this video. Nice cab ride with some beautiful.landscapes despite overcast sky.
👏🏻lovely even better had I been be able to see the route description, thank you
It's amazing this line survived Beeching, just the kind of thinly populated line his report took aim at. Maybe they played it clever, didn't make noise like "Hands off our railway!!", managed to stay below the radar, and survived!
Runs through several mariginal constituencies
@@rogergriffith286 By pure coincidence! 😉
@@marktipper994 :-)
I guess the purpose of these videos is to show the public at large the beautiful countryside they could be seeing if they travel by train. The videos made by Don Coffey and also by companies such as Video125 are aimed at railway enthusiasts and so are much more informative about the railway itself. It might have been better to start this video at Craven Arms, so we could see more of the Heart of Wales line, in particular the part of it that's actually in Wales! It's nicely filmed but I'm not so keen on the music.
Great video. only the sun and blue skies i miss. But I would prefer to hear the (diesel) sound of the engine, cause the music-pieces are repeated often.
Enjoy the vids, but maybe.......drop the elevator music and replace with natural sounds that you'd hear if you were taking the rail journey being publicized?
Impressive. 😍
Seeing these awful, red brick, chimney less, boxes, called housing developments going up in rural towns and villages, is heartbreaking.
agreed. paradise has been bricked and paved over
It’s Wales. It’s raining of course!
Very good. I've done many walks from the stations featured. Nice to have a reminder of the scenery.
what a lovely video, I feel nice and relaxed after that journey :)
The journey I have just watched bears no resemblance to the description given above. The section from Shrewsbury to Knighton is in ENGLAND yet supposedly the filming location is WALES.Only in the final bit from Knighton to Knucklas does the line cross the border. We get to see none of the notable landmarks as the video ends at Knucklas station, just short of Knucklas Viaduct which is first on the list.
I cannot believe that whoever wrote/copied the description has watched the video.
Hower as cab rides go it was quite interesting
G’day from Oz. I’m not too concerned about location accuracy - I’m quite content to relax and watch the world pass by. 🐨🇦🇺
Admittedly it says "WALES" in the first few seconds of the video, but the bookmark image says "THE WELSH BORDERS" and the description says "Heart of Wales Line", and it IS the Heart of Wales line. Unfortunately the weather deteriorated beyond Cnwclas (imagine that, rain - in Wales!) and the quality of the video wasn't good so it wasn't put online.
@@neilpalmer230surely it wasn’t raining so hard that the Knucklas viaduct couldn’t have been included
Viewers beware - you just about get into Wales, never mind the Heart of Wales! See the 'Welcome to Wales' sign at 53:47
International viewers, like myself, wouldn’t know where the hell we are but just go along for the ride. 🇦🇺
Beautiful musical chords throughout, makes it incredibly relaxing. Is this just improvised music or part of a cd ? Thanks Wayne
I love these Train videos but it is not the same without the sound of the Engine, the noise from the Rails, etc. I much prefer Don Coffey's vids with maps, names and the explanation of the various locations. He has spoilt us for anyone else.
Couldn't agree more.
@@SirReginaldBlomfield1234: I could! 😉🇦🇺
@@Bigbro28 Ahh, you're special 😘
Wonderful! Please do the section through Llandrindod Wells!
The music spills it sooner hear real sounds otherwise great video
I agree. I'd rather hear the sounds of the train and tracks.
Views are brilliant but can we have actual sound and stations intro.
agreed. I muted it to not hear the horrible muzac. Would have liked to have had, as promised; the train sounds
@@daydays12 Well it was a promise from National Rail, so what did you expect?
Oh dear, yes. You are right. What a shame. @@dnealuk
Thanks, man...for the info on the stations along the route....and the fake rain...
maravilhosa.parabéns.
Thanks! Some brief labels of stations would add to interest. Rain on windscreen took away from quality of video
Good video, beautiful countryside. Personally, I would have preferred ambient sound rather than music. Also, more use of windshield wipers.
Most enjoyable do you have any plans for filming Shrewsbury to pwllheli?
Back ground music spoils it
Mute it and enjoy the view. Or, play your own music and enjoy the view.
Come on you've had more than a year to do a video from Cnwclas onward, what are you mucking about at???!
Seriously National Rail it would be awfully nice of you if you could, and next time pick a better day
🤣
Totally killed it with the music! We want the train sounds!
The description says "The sounds and the motion of travelling by train have been scientifically proven to help people relax" and then deny us the sounds 😠😠
I have to say you picked some crappy days to film these videos - no blue skies, no sun. Do ‘em all again, without the depressing music.
Don't go when there are leaves on the trees - you won't see a bloomin' thing.
Can I come for a ride on one of those Class 97/3s at Coleham Depot/Shrewsbury Rail Delivery Unit?
👍
I like this. Well done NR.
Thank you! We’re glad you’re enjoying the route
Only things I'd change is cover the whole line and add names of stations, tunnels and bridges etc. It's not so relaxing having to follow the journey with Rail Map Online on another device.. otherwise very enjoyable 👍
Enjoyed the Journey, Didn't mind the music but what class of loco was it? and pity I had to stop and start the video to find out where we were as a stranger to this part of Wales. A little more detail please
You weren't in Wales until the very end.
drop the music, allow the train sounds
Can we have the full route? Don’t tell me the video ran out at Knucklas!?
We did film the whole route but unfortunately bad weather meant the footage wasn’t high enough quality for this
series. ⛈️ We’re hoping to return so we can share the rest of the amazing route!
It's now 14.9.2023 you must have re-shot the route by now ?
I have not found any picturesquare view, come to indian Kashmir and take a train ride !
Would love to see that but don't want to get the squitters whilst I'm there. 🥴😩💩🚽🧻
I've noted several comments to the effect that this video would have been much better from producers such as Don Coffey or Ben Elias. I wholeheartedly agree. They provide maps, annotations of the progress through the various stations and lots of useful geographical and historical information about the routes and country travelled through. They are knowledgeable enthusiasts for rail.
Unfortunately, this is a publicity video for National Rail, who know very little about railways!
These videos are great, but why replace the natural train sounds with awful background music? I'd watch far more of these if you did
I think I would rather the sounds of the 153 with all it's rattles and squeaks rather than the pseudo music
Why not do this on a sunny day? National Rail presumably has a marketing department but it’s useless
If they waited for that they'd never have made the video. ;-)
Cut the annoying music! Otherwise, great.
..fraud?..we were almost promised a proper run along the Heart of Wales line only to watch a train running through Shropshire and just into Wales at Knucklas..where is the rest. please?..
Click bait i'm afraid.
We did film the whole route but bad weather meant the footage wasn’t high enough quality for this series. ⛈️ We’re hoping to return so we can share the rest of the amazing route with you!
@@nationalrailofficial So you know you failed in your mission but posted it anyway.
@@nationalrailofficialweather has been too bad these past two years then…. oh and the clickety clack would have been a lot more soothing that that music with stylus crackle all the way through☹️
46:45 suicide bird
Great to see the Heart of Wales Line from the driver's cab.
But why include the detail of the shoothing, hypnotic sounds of rail travel in the comment, just to spoil the magical ride by hiding that melodious natural soundtrack with some unsoothing musical track that has no rhythm to the journey or relationship with the sound of steel wheels on steel rails?
We didn't get to the Heart of Wales, though did we!?
Very disappointing. I found this boring and tedious, certainly NOT the way to promote the ‘picturesque’ Heart of Wales line! No way of identifying where the train was, no station signs readable. Interesting areas such as the Long Mynd , for example should be pointed out.
can you ditch the music?
Potentially a great video ruined by the pretentious, unnecessary music.
lose the music i'd rather hear the natural sounds of the train
It's awful to be subjected to musak/noise and not hear the actual train ride sounds. After just two seconds I quit.
The music is not only irrelevant but irritating. It spoils an otherwise interesting video. I had to switch off.
