Next weeks video is already available to Patreons and RUclips members - www.patreon.com/jenonthemove - My main goal for 2024 is to turn what is currently a part time job, into a full time job - this will only be possible through the support of my amazing supporters - I hope I make them proud week in week out, and doing what I do at the level I already do would be impossible without them
If this was Cheshire they’d all have awards
The problem with Plymouth and railways is its geography. It rises from the sea and rivers that feed into it up towards Dartmoor. To state the obvious, trains don't like that sort of hill. So the railways keep to the coastal area and the river valleys. For those of us who live up on the hills in one of the many post-war suburbs, it's actually much more convenient to drive to Ivybridge station (A38 dual-carriageway, ample free parking) and pick up a train there. Parking at the main Plymouth station is both cramped and very expensive...and don't get me started on the bus services.
Sounds like somebody should establish some high frequency BRT
Great video Jen, Bere Ferrers is a very nice station and those hills are not steep, remember walking down from Saltash to get a good look at the Royal Albert Bridge but then regret it afterwards as I have to climb uphill!
Thanks Simon!
6:26 KITTY!!!!!
i see the devon arc is also the cat arc. i approve.
Love the video, especially the bits around Dockyard and Keyham stations, as I grew up in Keyham (In one of those very steep streets!) and my first experience of railways was watching trains at Keyham Station and travelling on the Tamar Valley Line.
0:41 OMG Steelers Wheel reference much. Love it.
The contrast between Devon and the city of Plymouth is highlighted expertly by the two stations of Bere Ferrers and Devonport.
I lived in plympton (next to plymouth) for a year - I’m not that fond of Plymouth!
Brilliant video Jen, honestly I thought some of the hills I've had to walk or cycle up were steep.
Oh that was a nice orange fellow. Hard to resist a friendly orange kitty. I probably would have shed a tear if I saw that I had to climb that hill as well
Great video Jen, I did the Tamar Valley line last year for the first time in about 30 years, and loved Bere Ferrers as well. You should investigate Avoncliff on the Bath-Westbury route, I think you'd love the combination of tranquility and access from a canal aqueduct!
Have you visited Starcross or Teignmouth yet?
I was going to comment, "A short but sweet video." But it wasn't! At nearly 9 minutes it's a full length Jen video. It's just an example that time flies when you are enjoying yourself. I swear that Jen is getting even better with practice. I'm looking forward to the sequel. (And some day a trip round the Beer Heights railway.)
Great video Jen, hope you have a fantastic 2024 my friend 🎉
Love to go to Bere Ferres. Very nice little station with so much history. And I also would like to go to Plymouth even though I have been to Devon before.
That is a nice station. Looking forward to the rest of this series.
A lovely way to start the year with a gentle Jen Video.
And I thought your most use term was “moist”……
"moist" and "nice" have to be some of Jen's most used single adjectives, but for a whole phrase, Jen might have a point
Plymouth station is big, but sadly not the nicest architecture. If we did get any money down here, we'd have finally rebuilt it (there have been plans for ages). Now you need to make your way east to explore the rest of Devon! Have fun on the tarka line :P
What a neat line! Love this so much! Thank you for sharing with us!
What is it with GWR and cleaning as you can never see out of the windows? Is it all down to cost cutting?
Happy New year Jen :)
That Bere ferrers station was a surprise!
i visited Plymouth back in 2016 its an amazing city & i still remember it being hilly in places & im loving Beer Ferrers which looks like a lovely station with all the retro signs & the old carrages brilliant vlog & happy new year
Fantastic stuff as always Jen, starting 2024 with a banger video I see, Keep warm and stay safe
Happy New Year, Jen! Don't you ever take a day off? (Oh well, I guess a woman's work is never done...)
Happy new year! Days off are very rare indeed! 🤣
Happy new year Jen and welcome in 2024 ❤
Happy new year Jen! It would be fun if the trains really did leave at that speed!
What a wholesome video
I'm wondering whether the disused platforms at Keyham were passenger platforms or if they were goods platforms from the days when goods traffic went through local stations and unloading was mostly done by hand
Enjoyable video as usual Jen! I hate walking up roads on a hill as well
Thanks for sharing , Jen. Happy New Year from Australia.ps Who was operating the camera?
Bere Ferrers looks better I think because it is a London and South Western Railway (though the present typeface and spacing on the older design appears not quite right). rather than the Great Western Railway. (the GWR eradicated most lines to North Cornwall of the LSWR out of Devon so no examples on your travels there
technically it was the Western Region of BR that tried to eradicate traces of the LSWR/Southern Railway lines in the West Country (not just Devon, the furthest west that the LSWR got was Padstow in Cornwall) but it was largely the same people who had worked for the GWR prior to nationalisation
Hello Jen, Happy New Year! Thank you for these videos. I wish I could spend more time in the UK, and your videos always give me great ideas for future trips. All the best, and I hope to see you on the railways someday!
That alterntiveline probably b the Exceter Kennford Sandygate Newto Abbot .Today along motorway less intrusive. Okehampton Tavisock too much oppositon ! Sweet kities !🧸
Excellent video Jen. I love watching your videos very interesting
.
How’d you enjoy Plymouth, Jen?
But you love the 150s Jen, you adore them really haha
Great video
Yay, beer!
They shouldn't have changed it... I'd have gone there if they hadn't! What's the point now? Apart from the lovely station.
