A Trip on the Llangollen Railway
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2015
- Less than an hour and a half from Crewe, the Llangollen Railway by the River Dee in Wales boasts some of the most stunning scenery one can see from the seat of a GWR chocolate and cream coach.
A special thanks to the Llangollen Railway's team of staff and volunteers, and especially Charles Allen for granting us access to the signal boxes!

From Los Angeles... how amazingly beautiful. My wife is ready to move! And excellent narration.
"weathering detail" all those model reviews getting to you!! hahaha.
What a great video. You included everything and a bonus for me in America was the guided tour of the signal box equipment. Thank you so much! I'm buying you a set of eye goggles for Christmas!
I still have fond memories of the Llangollen Railway from when I visited it last year while on a Study Abroad in Chester. Of all the railways I visited, including the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highlands, a return trip to the Bluebell, the Snowdon Mountain & Llanberis Lake, not to mention the various railways on the Isle of Man, the NRM, and the Steam Museum in Swindon, I think this was my absolute favorite; gorgeous scenery, beautifully preserved stations and engines, extremely friendly staff (the guard even offered to hold the train an extra couple of minutes at Berwyn so I could get a couple shots of the station, and the driver was a jolly soul I won't soon forget). I thought the coaches looked a bit on the worn-down side, but they were still very nice, especially the BSK I spent most of the ride in, chatting with a couple of fellow Americans. A truly memorable experience that I would love to repeat.
sirrliv Wow! Thank you for the comment - and I still need to visit some of those railways you mention! I'll get right on it.
From Brazil - Nice landscape, stable camera and adorable voice...
Great video and really nice commentary. Very soothing!
This was awesome to watch as I live in llan and I effectively grew up on this railway
Used to go Llangollen a lot as a small kid and I idolised this railway. This video brought back so many great memories and it’s amazing how unchanged the station and the town appears to be which is amazing. Thanks for this great video, might just take my own family there now.
Great video! When I went to the Llangollen I was suppose to have this locomotive (it said on the website) but instead I got a big blue 0-6-0 locomotive... you can guess what locomotive it was. Hopefully you had a good time in Wales. Thanks : )
Did you turn up on Thomas weekend lol
Great Vid. Load to hear a GWR loco working hard! Added bonus of the TNs too ;-)
Simply amazing and its wonderful that UK has so many operational steam locos on so many different lines still running beautifully.
Great video... it sure is a beautiful area... Thanks for sharing...Cheers
Excellant video, planning on visiting this line next week, looks great.
That is a great locomotive, I agree with you!
Nice video Will, sorry about soot in your eyes, goggles next time perhaps. Those GWR locos certainly have a good "bark", this one seems "well oiled" too.
I believe loco men called the water crane hose "the bag".
Also nice shot of coach corridors snaking on the curves. : )
Cliff.
I remember visiting Llangollen many years ago. Travelling on the train with beautiful scenery. To Berwyn, Glyndyfrdwy, Carrog,
After watching another video of this trip, un-narrated and in the reverse direction (but cab view), I found this to be most instructive, and it answered some of the questions I had. I will now hunt down other videos you have made! And BTW, congratulations on choosing to be a parent.
What a video InterCity82!! Hope my country will use our old locos for something in the future... Congratulations for this amazing video and commentary Will!
DaniWTFs Thank you so much for the kind feedback!
Nice! My granddad worked for GWR all his life until the 70s. Retiring as the Station Master at Gobowen.
Wow what a nice line and I love that 51xx. Its also a first video with you at the front of the train and the sound of the engines is beautiful with the welsh mountains just competing it. One last thing is that bridge is so recognisable
GWR23 Studios Thanks for the comment!
Fantastic video! I love your narrated videos :)
CreweslyRoad4472 Thank you. They do seem to go down well.
Fantastic !
Lovely place to ride through along the A5, great kayaking on the river Dee as well
cestrianvlogger Yes! Very popular with bikers. Thanks for the comment!
Hey I've bin there. Plus I went on the river dee in a boat. (Well not really a BOAT)
Hello my brother TrainBro (or what I like to call him the I like train kid) loves your videos so I thank you for making lovely videos about trains ^w^
Hello thanks so much for filming my works railway I do work on it and the loco u where on was my favourite thank u so much
Great video, thanks for sharing your day out.
Robert
Ocean City Thank you for watching!
Loved it.
It's the same river as the Dee, but in Wales it's called Dyfrdwy.
Great video, I love Llangollen. I have seen Tornado and Britannia there.
Top video!
great vid!!!! iv only been to that railway once. i live in wales but in south wales so this line is quite a long way for me to go
I lived Cwmaman and used to drive in my work this area every week...stunning area and World End & Horseshoe Pass...
I remember going there a few years back, one of my favourites
My local railway! Lovely place!
InterCity82 Wales is known for its beautiful scenery, even better for me as I see it everyday, living on Anglesey right on the coast , its just about an hours drive from Llangollen!
TheGWR123 You're so lucky!
TheGWR123 have you been to Llanfairwyllgwyngyll
Looks very interesting
I've been on the Llangollen line a couple of times now. wonderful route and only fifty miles from Liverpool.
That's a great little vid shows the railway off really well. Just a little note, you can get off at Corwen East and it's just a short walk into the Town.
Next time come and say hello to us on the footplate. I was the guy hanging out the left side of the loco.
snud61 Seriously?! Wow. My apologies. I shall definitely be visiting again soon. Thank you so much for the kind feedback and comment.
Your welcome. As I said great vid, I enjoyed it.
What a beautiful setting.......hope all is well....haven't seen any new videos lately....take care, Mark.
I go to school there. I also did work experience at the station so I’m going to volunteer because it was just a great atmosphere
Hey! I live really close to Llan! :D yee! I feel special now because you went there
Tehkitteh2582 You're lucky to have that so close!
The river wye flows through Gloucestershire :) you were correct that that's the river Dee next to the station :) cracking video by the way :)
Thank you
Brilliant
Hey, Will, 10:31, sprung buffers! Now I get it.
avlisk I try to push them in with my hands at every opportunity and they refuse to budge a single mm - and look how easy the loco does it!
GLAD TO BE WELSH
hayden jones YEAAHHH SAME HEREE
hayden jones ME TOO
Yeah it is ain't it we're great
hayden jones has a new
JONES
Me too
Just remembered, from seeing berwyn station that I passed by it on the A5, I was really hoping to see a train go through the station especially when I saw that it was a heritage railway station! I think I also recall seeing the temporary station with a train in.
When I was there On Saturday 4/3/2017 the river was really, really fast flowing!
Yes the Ffestiniog Railway In North Wales, it is a lovely route which boasts the best of the industrial slate quarrying. You'll start at Blaneau Ffestiniog (connected to the National Rail) home to the Llechwedd slate Quarry (one of the largest in the world). then you will depart into a woodland area where the train will eventually loop on its self. I believe to go up gradient and eventually arrive in a familiar place to you ... Porthmadog. This line is an home to many locomotives and unique rolling stock. But before you come i advise you bring a Welsh dictionary, because this is true Welsh Country!! Diolch yn Fawr, gweld chi yno cyn bo hir! ( Thank you, see you there soon!)
Festin
Spent my childhood in this area and later worked it a sales rep
10:29 *GASP* IT'S GOT SPRUNG BUFFERS
I'm beginning to get a few places to go next time i happen to be in UK.
The list i have now of places to visit are Centre for Computing History in Cambridge, Bletchley Park, And one or more Railways.
Crozix Sounds good so far!
Was on the Llangollen Railway over Christmas and had a great time. Have you ever though about just doing a lineside video from one of the galas such as the KWVRs?
Steam in the North West It's possible, but a lot of people do make videos like that already - especially during the galas. I try to make a video that's just a typical day out, if I can - for families thinking about paying a visit, perhaps.
Not even one?
Steam in the North West I guess I could certainly give it a go. I wouldn't object to it at all. Not sure what my viewers might say, though. I hope they will be okay with it.
Nice video! What about Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway or the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway in the Lake District?:-)
MSEL Models & Engineering All noted down - thank you!
@3:50 the bridge has two smoke stains going up from the arch and you don't see very many people putting that detail into their models. I've only seen it once. I think if I don't put as much realism into my layout, I may as well just run the train round and round in a circle on a bare floor. Just a thought. What a beautiful station!
Thoroughly enjoyed, Will! May I suggest the Gwili Railway down in South Wales? And maybe in the not too distant future when it's operational, the railway I volunteer and a director at, the Dolgarrog Railway in North Wales?
Caz Jones Thanks for the comment - and I've jotted down both of those suggestions - thanks!
No problem. You can see our progress in Dolgarrog on our website (which I run) too, www.dolgarrograilway.co.uk
Caz Jones Saved. Will check it out over breakfast :)
you cannot beat our old carriages especially the ones that have compartments to one side of the coach and a corridor on the other side no over crowding on these carriages in their day
Those tanks have some power for their size!
The Dee is indeed that one alongside Llangollen, the Wye is in South Wales.
So Will when are you going to America to see some big trains
I've been there last year
You should check out the churnet valley railway.
Watercress Line in Hampshire. Could make a long weekend and combined a visit with the Bluebell and Swanage Railway
jwr4472 I have heard about that line. It's supposed to be a stunner, so I hear?
jwr4472 Whenever I'm at uni in Southampton, I want to visit that line and Swanage.
Did you ever buy the footplate experience were u get to be a loco driver for a day it's not cheap but would be so worth it. And great vid ;-)
Bo Danville I haven't done that on a standard gauge loco. Yet.
InterCity82 I was given the footplate experience at Llangollen as a gift way back in 1998. Lots of fun. I hope you won't be jealous when I tell you it was on a Black 5.
I was there today
i wish we had a BR loco line here in australia
at 20.00 minutes IM THE BOY IN RED AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH
Are you going to go to the west Somerset railway?🤔
The River Wye is in South Wales.
There a tram up the great orme in Llandudno North Wales
Tim Condrup There is! I've done it quite a few times. Never filmed it though.
Yes It is the River d
British steam yes.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
You should have worn safety goggles lol i learnt the hard way on why to where them 😄
Susan Beddison Haha - indeed! I'll get some for next time lol
InterCity82 Or not to look funny, just wear some sunglasses, wrap around style. Notice the best view of a train while on a train is on a curve. The same applies to a model train layout.
SeaToby11 Even better idea! Thank you!!
InterCity82 love your channel just subscribed your great channel please subscribe Back to mine please
Yeah
I went to that excact place
I stayed their is a lovely town and I stayed right next to the railway in the house called Trevor house
It a hour away from my house.
when was this filmed? i was there between 24th and 27th.
V12-Skillz the loco is a GWR Large Prairie Tank. same i had a ride on on the 24th.
V12-Skillz Thursday the 23rd I think.
Will,How haven't you gotten a 14xx yet? Anyways,I'm desperate to see this railway,send help!
HEY THATS MY HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
does anyone know what shunter that was at carrog at 20:10 ? 03, 04 etc.
Epic profile pic tho. I'm getting that train today
Xbox djc Its an 03 shunter. Cant remember the running number, despite me passing it most days.
I live their
Why not go to some miniature railways? Mores valley, Romney hythe and dymchurch, coate water miniature railway and the strawberry line miniature railway. All amazing railways that all have something viewers will like. Hope you like the idea and maybe check out my videos. And great video by the way, love the commentry
The temporary Corwen East Station is no longer existent. No trains will run to Corwen till October 2019. And why didn't you shut your window before the train entered Berwyn Tunnel? You must obey that rule, or else 1, you'll end up with damaged eye-sight from red-hot sparks flying into your eyes at 100mph and 2, you'll end up banned from the railway forever more. Learn from your mistake or don't go back to the railway. But nice video nevertheless.
mmmmmm steamy goodness
William Baron haha
Did anyone go to the March 2017 steam gala
I sometimes help out at carrog
And when I can meet you
11:03 OMG YOU HAVE NIKE TNS AHHHHH SAME
Hey will, Please reply to this comment yes or no if you want me to send in my Thomas and friends train set. 3 weeks ago I went to Thomas land to pick these up and I thought you might like to do a review on some of my Thomas and friends trains. I tested them and they seem to work fine. If not that's ok. I wanted to ask because I thought that I don't need them. I got them for my cousins 6th birthday and he already has them. He really likes Thomas. Oh and I looked in 3 shops that do Hornby near me and I couldn't find the inter city's. Would you recommend me getting them online?
Ethan Peake Hi! Well, you are welcome to send in anything you want - but make sure you have permission to do so, first. And make sure anything you do send is properly weighed and stamped. As for the InterCity 125s (I presume), try Hattons and Trident Trains.
Ok thanks!
Sorry Will but do you mind me just having them for one more week. I'm going getting my Shunter today and I had a great idea. I'll get all my trains out and have a contest. I fact the winston train from one of your previous videos was on my mind. But so was the mallard. I can't decide so witch would you recommend. I was also planning on selling old smokey.
+InterCity82
At 11.50 you will see me filming you
dsr150 Haha no way!!
InterCity82 Yes and I have it on video leaving Llangollen. I will have to upload the clip.
How do I pronounce Llangollen? :)
I know this wonderful railway by heart. I volunteer every weekend in the railway's youth group. If you would like to feature the youth group in a video, we would all be very grateful as we are recruiting for more visitors. If you are interested, please contact me through the email address associated with my channel (the one with AOL). I would be very grateful as I am a massive fan of yours! Also, if you would like any information on this railway, don't hesitate to ask! And by the way, the DCC Sound black five you own was recorded from a black five from the Llangollen Railway. Thanks, Charlie
+EverythingMechanical It's a brilliant railway, by far my favourite. I go to their Thomas events atleast twice a year, i know the railway very well! I'm also a member of the railway!
DALEKSLAYER1 Yes, it's by far my favourite too. Are you interested in joining the youth group?
Don't think i'd get in there, i'm 18
DALEKSLAYER1 Oh right. You can volunteer as a supervisor, if you would like - you get to do the same stuff as us, but you have a little more responsibility. Check out our facebook page: facebook.com/Llangollen-Rail-Youth-Group-903325066395712/
Ah right i see, will you be there during the two Thomas weekends this month?
The Nene valley railway near Peterborough
Western Master52 It's on the list! haha
Well let me know and I'll meet you down there, I haven't been for a while
Western Master52 Will do!
Sorted
They have Thomas The tank there
butchered the name but still good video
Will you look so lonely one day me you and lisa i promise
something weird haha I was with 2 other people on this day!
InterCity82 oh whoops but me you and lisa should one day go
Good video, but way to much narration! Some vloggers don’t do any which is just as annoying! I like to think I do enough, but not over do it.
Can you please try not to talk so much over parts where the engine is making noise, such as starting a train or going uphill.
Daniel Wright Noted. Sorry.
No don't worry too much about it it's not too important just sometimes I enjoy listening to a steam engine working hard. Your narration is always top notch.
Daniel Wright Thank you! I will make sure I carefully time when I talk for the next one.
