Awesome! Yay for expansions to lines that need it!
Hey Jen, was amazing to meet you today, I was the tall, mad TPE guy stood in the rain helping out really enjoyed helping everyone today even with it raining. P.S Hope you enjoyed the cookies.
Great to see you too! Hope to bump into you again!
The overpass bridge is quite nice. First thing I noticed is the color scheme.
Looking forward to Jens Guide To Why I Hate This Train Type video series.
Color scheme match EMR colours.
I used to use this station a lot to visit my Grandparents back in the early 90’s after we moved from Sheffield to Marple Bridge. Our train would often be late due to delays on the single track section, my Mum would bemoan that there used to be 2 tracks. It’s taken long enough but at least it’s finally been rectified just like giving it its full name again as it was shortened to Dore until a few years ago.
The old original station looks lovely
That curve just beyond will make for some nice photos of trains where atop the overpass
Good to see a covered bridge. St Helens Central (which was rebuilt in the mid-2000s) has a uncovered bridge which replaced a subway (although to be fair, said subway wasn't the nicest of places).
Great to see you at one of the stations near me! Love the video... especially that they're keeping up with the tradition of the lifts not working when you went to film, lol. Keep up the great work Jen, love from Chesterfield ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
the upgrade at Dore & Totley looks amazing & def looks like a great station to film trains too & def a station that i wouldnt mind doing one day if i ever go into the Shefffield area brilliant vlog
Very enjoyable video Jen, shame that they haven't got the lifts working yet but nice to see the new platform
Can't stand Voyagers either. In all my journeys on them, I must have stood 85% of the time and, believe me, I have had loads of journeys on them. Last week I stood from Macclesfield to Stafford as my latest Voyager debacle. I found out, also, that buying a ticket at the last second as my brother did, earned him a free seat reservation on what was, as usual, a jam packed train. The trains are also far too short for the distances covered with not enough standard class seats. Unfortunately, their replacements may end up being just as bad but I live in hope.
So happy its finally dualled, it was single when I was using it in the early 90's. A good upgrade indeed, cheers x
Excellent video Jen really enjoyed watching.
Jen, I think you secretly LOVE Voyagers! You seem to go out of your way to film them for us.
Brilliant video Jen, the new Dore and Totley station looks very nice, shame the lifts aren't working yet though. :)
Good to see you out and about at my nearest station growing up (Millhouses and Ecclesall was the nearest but closed in 1968). We've all been following the progress for years and i's finally here!
Thanks for another great video.Always love your videos
Thank you!
Love you videos
And also you are a girl but you speak a boy voice
Looks like some thought went into the design of the footbridge - nice brick; and it’s covered!
Shame it was moist, but you can’t have everything! 😂
Great video!
That footbridge actually looks quite nice. Appears Network Rail does know how to buil bridges that aren't industrial looking 😅.
Brilliant to see Dore and Totley 2nd platform open . I remember the old Dore and Totley Station before it was wrecked in the Eighties. I can even remember in the late 70's when there was bad snow and the buses were barely running and the two disused platforms on the mainline were temporarily brought back into use. The waiting room in those days on the middle platform was quite something and would probably be listed nowadays. Just need to reinstate those platforms so trains to Chesterfield and south of could stop there as well. Doubt that will ever happen though Imagine Through trains from London and Plymouth stopping there what a time saver for people on the South West side of Sheffield
Good to see they have put the second platform back, but it does make you wonder the logic of making it single track in the 1980s
my disabled self grinding my teeth at the one set of lifts (please just build two for ease and breakdown reasons), and them not working on opening day
I do think they should have been working, before the upgrade it was step free... So this is really a downgrade for accessibility for the first few weeks
A pair of lifts like these is around £100,000. For a small station?
It was a "soft opening" for the station, due to lots of delays, which obviously doesn't excuse the lack of step free access, but I work for the lift company and can assure you that the reason the lifts weren't in service was nothing to do with us.
@@liftmanleigh Just the lifts are over £160k each, but if you include the shafts, power, coms etc, you are looking at close to half a million for the pair
@@Barlofontain sorry, I mistyped a bit. It should have said for not of. Boy are network rail getting reamed at £160k for a two entry lift. Through car or single sided?
That used to be my local station when i was at University. It’s great to see that it has regained some of it’s former glory.
What a lovely little station.
Progress indeed, although it's a shame Totley East tunnel signalbox has gone, still lasted for 131 years.
3:19 that’s me! We met earlier.
I'm very excited about these upgrades.
I often using Hope Valley and Midlands Mainline. This redoubling should remove bottleneck at D&T area.
Many times our train need to be hold here to pass other services.
But one advise to make videos even better: When You filming new station layout next time - can You film new junctions and track layout? (can be from train window)
Good to see you are in my home town ( Sheffield) but my local station is Chapeltown
Was there about 7AM this morning and had a chat with one of Northern's community managers - turns out he was the person responsible for the colour choice on the footbridge! Apparently the locals took some convincing on it, with the original suggestion being for a dark green livery to match the trees on the far side of the MML
I think that Dore and Totley looks much better with a new platform 2 than it was before with just 1 platform. And nice to see lifts even though they aren’t working yet.
This is the first stop located in Sheffield's rural fringe on a line crossing a national park, yet has been given an urban town centre utilitarian design. This historic station's beautiful character sadly transformed forever.
Great and entertaining video Jen! I can't believe you can't get away from voyagers 😂
Great video Jen 😊
I noticed on Open Train Times the track map hasn't been updated. And it's also a pity the track between Dore and Sheffield Midland hasn't been upgraded to 3 or 4 tracks. It was a bottleneck even back in the 70s I remember
Shame they didn't take the opportunity to create the platform to be accessible to Nottingham line or on the Manchester/Nottingham triangle to give the option of direct trains rather than having to go into Sheffield first. Guessing historically there would have been something there
Jen, thanks. What is the next-to-the-station curry place like?
Jen is on the BBC News Website today the 27th of March The ghost stations surviving despite lack of use
She’ll be on Midlands today at 1830 too 🙂
@@JenOnTheMove Watched it and did not see you?
Jen voyagers follow you around the country because they know you don’t like them.
The northern train at the start doesn't look like a class 323
It's a 195 lol
What's with the Voyagers? Asking from Amurika.
Yeah the lifts being out of use on opening is so frustrating.
Nice video.
Its a station 😊.
How was it able to open without disabled access?
Feels like lift functionality was an afterthought
Might be just me but it does look like the track has been straightened through the platform area - have they been able to remove the black baffles used to avoid misreading signals? \m/
I'm not sure on that one!
If You look at 3:50 - "problematic" semaphore is now behind lift and staircase - no need to cover this anymore. It is not very visible from mainline.
at 4:02 - no sign of these as well.
Nice video. Seems a shame there isn't a station on the MML. What do you have against Voyagers by the way?
Everything is wrong with the voyagers!
They're dirty packed and overcrowded too small as in they need more carriages they always get delayed and yeah they're not the best!
that station should have a bus system so people don't need to drive to it.
Another great Opening Day Video. But what is wrong with Voyagers?
As a rule they often busy and don't have enough seats, even off peak. I do miss the loco hauled days.
What's right with voyagers?
Everything!
Were there no Meridians passing that day?
yeah there is 1 in the video at 2.18
@@SionsTrainVideosMust have missed that lol.
I was talking to someone who went to grammar school and they/class got a good telling off by the masters if they dared use the word nice
Stations and lifts. Here in the Netherlands it’s a bad combination. Due to shortness of technical staff and parts a lot of lifts are out of order through the whole country. And it can be for months. Independent travel is almost impossible for disabled people.
2:30 what is wrong with meridians they are the best trains
Glovetrains is in Barcelona and you look jealous Jen
I think that's a bit harsh mate
