The London sign would be a reference to the Midland Railway who built the line, 242 miles to St Pancras!
A proper natural beauty 😍
Hi G,
This video was fabulous! I stayed on holiday not far from Ribblehead Viaduct and we took a trip from there to Carlisle, fabulous journey...also bumped into a mate from work there on the same day...
There was also shop set up on the North bound platform selling souveniers of the Viaduct marketed by the Friends of Ribblehead...I bought a tie if I remember correctly...I really loved your background music choice, it went naturally with the train movements and also your boundless energy, what is it's title? If I hear it again I shall connect it with your video...
Thanks for brightening my evening...
Take care,
Jon B. x
Midland Railway had dispute about track access with the London North Western Railway (WCML) in 1870 so they decided to built their own line which became the Settle to Carlisle line and would had seen trains from London St. Pancras to Carlisle and onto Scotland. But it is a lovely scenic line, still need to visit Ribblehead Viaduct.... Love a good pair of Viaducts lol Great video G
Ah thankyou Cyber! Think we both do 😂
Your energy and enthusiasm are what make your videos so captivating. So much so you make me want to be there with you enjoying your surroundings. Inspirational, fun and superb entertainment. You are number one when it comes to informative railway vlogs. Excellent work G, keep 'em comin'. Ray x
Thankyou very much Ray! 😀
Always been my favourite line G thank u for your Vblog of this fantastic line and its stations not forgetting the beautiful views of ribblesdale and magnificent ribble head viaduct wonderful 👍🤗
Well......the Ribbleshead experience is......perfect. The Station Inn is part of the experience.
Just been there today - it’s a classic!
They used to do days where the line was closed and groups could be taken by foot over the ribblehead.

Great video g love the 158s❤
This is you, on your own and at your best. So glad this line was saved. Cheers G. x
I Would love to visit one day soon.
In the days of the old (pre-BR) Midland Railway London was direct from Horton. All the maroon and cream at the S&C stations (and Hellifield) is a throwback to the Midland Railway days. Hellifield was a major station back then.
At Kirkby Stephen on Settle & Carlisle line there is a Kirkby Stephen East station - a preserved station & railway line
Also I rode on the train hauled by the Tornado steam engine from Appleby to Skipton & later back
There is a live RUclips stream of the viaduct & the passing trains by Railcam UK
Awesome Video G Loves Trains
Rubblehead station didn’t used to have staggered platforms. The station closed, along with all of the other intermediate ones on the line except Appleby, in about 1970. The Northbound platform was demolished to provide rail access to a quarry. When the station re-opened it was served by Southbound trains only. I was quite surprised that they didn’t single the track through the station to enable the remaining platform to be served by trains in both directions; since the track on the Viaduct was already single only a short additional section of single track would have been required. Rather than do this however they decided to build a new Northbound platform. I cannot remember when this was done. I’m not sure if the quarry siding is still there, but it was when the new platform was built so it had to be put in a slightly different location.
Yes, the quarry siding is still there and in regular use. 😊
Happy days gee..love you presentation
another great video keep then comming
Great video G as always, platform 5 at Skipton is still there but it’s not accessible it’s behind the wall on the freight line
Great video - a Skipton skip, settling down at Settle, nearly giggling at Giggleswick and loads of Ribble wibble!
Haha thanks!
Love old school train stations one thing missing was some steam trains . But amazing
I shall say again, your enthusiasm is infectious. Never change.
Cheers!
The book about the revival of the S & C by James Towler was so critical of the MoT, British Rail, politicians, among others that the NRM refused to sell it.
Hey gg love you very much you are amazing what you do sending you lots of hugs if you are ever in macclesfield it would be nice to meet up for a coffee I would like to do what you do travel around on the trains but I would like to get some tips on it so I know what I am doing. Love you gg xxxxxxxxxx ❤❤❤
Your videos are amazing & I enjoy watching them. Heck I really like you & Lucy. One day, you guys got to visit America. One day, I'll like to meet you.
G loves trains and we love your films and we love you.
I once diverted to see Ribblehead whilst driving to Newcastle in the middle of winter. It was a decent day weather wise until I got up there and the wind was brutal, freezing cold and sideways rain 🤣 Network Rail were working on the viaduct at the time, they deserved every penny working in those conditions.
ribblehead viaduct looks an awesome structure to see and photograph
What an amazing structure. These were skilled craftsmen who built it for sure. I would love to visit and see it up close.
Thanks for the upload. 🙏
That 333 took me back a few years. I had the dubious pleasure of machining a modification on all the bogie frames as they came through the works for service. I did a dimensional check of the frame and modification of the spring pockets at an average time of 10 hours per bogie.
Great video of the line G, I have never been up there yet.
Recent subscriber. Love your content and your energy. Hope you can do a collab with Geoff soon
Your amazing and thank you for making my day and have a great safe day best wishes and keep up the wonderful work that you do. 🙂
Thanks Josh!
great video, very enjoyable.
Great job of hyperactive editing! Just in case I was not clear, that's meant to be a compliment.
Watching from Queensland, Australia. Tip Top video, mum grew up in armathwaite.
Never been there . I got me nickers on me head. 😅 Love the settle and Carlisle.
16k well done lovely
Look forward to your brilliant videos every week. Thanks.
Very nice. I've done Skipton and Cononley, but I've been meaning to do stops between Carlisle and Skipton for ages and it's simply too far from my parents house for me to do in a day without a 3 hour drive in either direction. I have done Appleby though, as that's where trains terminated when there was the landslide back in 2016, and that's where the first year of the staycation express starteed from.
The S&C was the Midland Railway's route to Scotland, after the MML up to Leeds and then up, so that does make sense.
Its so nice there. Not been since winter freezing cold, foggy one time too. Got nice shot of train emerging and disappearing in the fog. One time forgot the afternoon train didnt stop st Ribblehead lol. The waiting room on Carlisle side had a heater, but pub was better for roaring fire 🔥
Love this section, running through the 'original' three peaks area...
The Line is the part of the original Midland Main Line, which originally ran expresses from London St Pancras via Leeds and on to Carlisle and finally terminating at Glasgow in the British Rail Days. Keep those videos coming.
This certainly is the line of the beautiful stations as well as the beautiful views, and of course the beautiful Ribblehead viaduct. I liked those "Settle Down" and "Settle Up" signs
I think they should have some bug houses at the Ilkley line stations for the Outer Space Bugs 🤣
Haha now thats the place for them 😂
That viaduct is so beautiful and stunning. Such a amazing viaduct on the Settle-Carlisle Line. Plus the scenery is just incredible 🤩😍
Beautiful place ❤
all the stations in this vlog looks lovely and the views along this line look amazing and Ribbleshead viaduct looks stunning and awesome shot of the train passing on the viaduct awesome vlog
magnificent piece of architectural and structural engineering - I was once there when a steam loco went over - can't remember its name but it was awesome
Brilliant video G, nice to see you decided to do some skipping at Skipton lol. The ribblehead viaduct looks amazing, I'd love to go there someday. :)
Wow that’s amazing views from the station in Horton . Great video
Stunning scenery, G. I’d love to travel on the S & C - thanks for taking us with you!
Thanks MrGreatPlum!
Last time j travelled over the viaduct it was so foggy didn’t see a thing
Thank you for braving that walking path! We go such a great view of that gorgeous summertime countryside. So cool! 😎
This is your best one yet G, you could spend the whole day just exploring the stations, every one of them a gem, the views are breath-taking and then you have the stunning Ribblehead Viaduct and to top it all off we have your enthusiasm and joy coming through in bucket loads. Thanks for brightening up the day!!! Looking forward to the next one, stay safe.
Thanks a lot Beakerz!
Another amazing video! I know the Settle and Carlisle from Microsoft Train Simulator. You're video has inspired me to do some research to understand why its so famous! Thank you!
Thanks!!
Excellent video (of course!), wonderful views and I loved the music soundtrack.
Thanks!
Keep the videos coming and keep up the awesome work
The pathway you were walking on at settle goes to a place called stainforth falls with your favourite thing to look at “flowing water “
Lucky you with the weather! I've visited this area twice in the past 12 months, firstly last August (2022) to travel Carlisle - Leeds (with an advance ticket so no stopping), and secondly by car in May (2023) when I was in the North West as I had Eurovision tickets and wanted a day away from the city. Both times the weather was cloudy, views were OK but not great with some mist & at times fog. The country side is very beautiful, lots of great vistas to feast the eyes, the stations etc have a histroric charm that is second to none. In May stopped in Settle for afternoon tea and found a good selection of great little tea shops. I hope to return again one day for a more detailed exploration, and perhaps a little walking too ... when the weather is nice!
Hi G thanks for posting this, another brilliant vlog. That’s such a pretty line with the views & the lovely restored stations. Really is a step back 8n time
2:51 there's similar subway ramps at Ely station to these. Excellent films by the way 👏
Exuberance is inspirational and uplifting, thanks G
Thanks Jim!
Thanks for the video G as everyone said just love this place, the viaduct is awesome, took some building and many deaths too 😢. Been able to take pictures of the viaduct one sunny, windy day,I think I got a class 185 going over it. Would love to live there but so harsh the weather can be!!😎🚃🚃🇬🇧
Would be great to live there so beautiful!
Great vlog G and some stunning stations on the Settle to Carlisle Line. Ribblehead viaduct looks stunning. I enjoyed watching as always.
Thanks Sam as always!
What an amazing journey! That viaduct too 😍
That was utterly brilliant, I loved every second of it. The Ribblehead viaduct is amazing, so beautiful as to almost be surreal. Coincidentally I have just been watching a video with Matilda River Walden, also at the Ribblehead viaduct. What structures that we have built will still be doing the job they were constructed for, on a daily basis, nearly 150 years from now?
Stumbled across your channel a couple of days ago. Brilliant content
Thanks!
Great video G. Keep it up.
Thanks!
Your excellence continues to increase with each video Gloves. Enjoyed the Cindy Lou Who Do as well.
Been there a few times on my Pennine Way Hikes and let me tell you there is nothing is better than catching a Steam Train going over the Viaduct.
Lovely stations, lovely scenery. Fantastic ! Great video G.❤ 🚉🛤
Thankyou!
Thanks for sharing the viaduct it was a great sight to see the scenery was amazing so is the video 👍👍✅✅
Thanks! 😀
Was there last month and there’s a lovely couple that run a tea shop at Ribblehead. The viaduct is stunning!
Always interesting videos, can you do some southern coastal trips too beautiful
Congrats for the triple of achievement of skipped at Skipton, pooed at Crewe and, er, also went to Clitheroe.
😂😂 not done the second yet lol
It's never too late to get 100% completion for a true railfan!
Definitely is a beautiful line G stunning views and the viaduct is a spectacular sight especially when a steam train passes over❤❤
It really is! 😀
friend introduced me to the viaduct a few years ago. I have a picture of me at the bottom of one of those spans. You have to expand it see me. What an amazing structure!
And to think, Network Rail due to costs tried to close the route down many years ago but friends of the viaduct rallied round and did their own costing and found it much cheaper than what Network Rail to do the renovations
not nr but british rail. they even got round to putting up the notices of closure.
public outcry/marginal constituencies/pleadings to Mrs T and the line was kept open...
❤ I love Skippy Skipton great place to visit great video x tq
Hey, Ribbleshead Station has a luvly visitors' centre with a shop, cafe and museum. It is open til 3 15 ish and till October.
Excellent vlog, G! The Settle and Carlisle line is one of my favourites too - it would be good if they could get some adapted 153s to use as cycle carriages (like Scotrail do on the West Highland Line) for when it gets really busy. Can we request cover songs on the Limestone Lithophone for the next time you're back at Horton-in-Ribblesdale?
Haha yeah request covers please 😂 thanks barrowc!
Fantastic video as always
I watch you a lot I really do like you ya meck me smile plus I like train as wrll ❤❤❤❤❤
Great video G Love
One of my favourite parts of the world - I spent a lot of the 1990s cycling around the Dales national park. RIbblehead didn't have a north platform back then - I don't know when they rebuilt it though. Settle didn't have a footbridge either back then come to think of it. Great video :)
You could start at Ribbleshead and show the visitors' centre there then go further up the line toward Appleby.
Looks like a great day out! Your energy and enthusiasm is amazing keep up the good work!
Thanks!
I saw the first station and thought “Things Cononley get better”😀
Skipping in Skipton maybe a new feature LOL great video as always and such a great line I love to visit.
Enthusiastic and entertaining as always. Well edited too!
Thanks!
Great money shot on the viaduct at the end 👍👍
This is absolutely wonderful timing, I was looking for times for Horton in Ribblesdale but I could only get times for Settle and Kirkby Stephen I think it was, but you have given me the information that I needed, looking to go camping/cycling around but didn't want to stay at Settle as the campsite is mostly caravans and statistics, a bit too posh for me, the camp site in HiR is a farmers field, basic and quiet, great channel 😊
Thanks, hope you have fun!
Skipton was even bigger again, because the line from
Ilkley and Grassington came in one end, and the line to Colne went out the other, that was another two platforms at least (and, weirdly, it was behind a wall! The underpass you were in, G, was extended to serve these platforms.). Do I get a "thanks, Bob" for this nugget of info?
Ta Bob
Used to be a great Sunday out from Preston till Northern quashed it.
Has anyone worked out the new journey time and cost to get from Preston / Blackpool to Carlisle via the S&C now the DalesRail ticket and Ribble Valley service is no longer available? From my investigations it’s not worth getting out of bed 🛌
The ride over the viaduct on a train is kind of dull because the valley is a bit featureless. The view of the viaduct, however, is off the chart!
Cracking video once again. Funnily enough, I spotted you on someone else's video today standing at Princes Street tram stop in Edinburgh. There's no stopping you, lol
0:55 - ahhhhhh it's my Stalker
When I worked for NR we did the conversion of the station masters house to a holiday cottage, also had to carry a 6ft 4x4 fence post over the viaduct to the signal box (the farmer wouldn’t let us on his land as the signaller had been having an affair with his wife 😂).
The last time i travelled on a train in england was 2011 on the gatwick express and what annincredible journey that was other than that i would usually have travelled from inverness to insch aberdeenshire in north east scotland
A lot of wind? Are you producing that wind? (Kidding 😄) Also congratulations on 16k subs
(Sometimes 😂)
Did u not stop at the settle water tower? I went up inside recently. Fabulous.
You have a great future in TV (if that is what you seek?) you have all the skills and you and your partner make a solid team too!
Thanks, I love making YT vids 😀
@@GLovesTrains Good for you enjoy what you do!
