    Great vlog Simon. I’ve visited most of these stations now except Coseley. The Birmingham canal looks stunning. I enjoyed watching as always!

    This one is very much my patch having commuted on this line for many years until 2019. I loved the excursions around the canals. I guess a 30 minute headway gives that opportunity

    You certainly cram in a lot of information into your videos, with facts and figures. This is great, as your viewers are learning while watching .
    Keep up the good work.

    Brilliant video showing us the stations on the Stour Valley line Cyber. The only station on the line I've got off at between Birmingham and Wolverhampton so far is Smethwick Galton Bridge, I'll have to try out the other stations on the line sometime. :)

    Great video Simon!
    It was a good idea to include the canal stuff, the format works well.
    Instrumental music is better. 🙂👍

      @Sim0nTrains  Před rokem +1

      Thanks Ian. The Canal stuff was a idea when I did the Circular Journey when someone commented that they would had see me mentioned something about the Canal in that video. So this was in the thinking stage at the time and decided to put the Canal part into this video instead.

    I've travelled on that line lots of times. I remember when the Class 323s use to travel on that line, they were on routes from Wolverhampton to either Coventry or Walsall via Birmingham New Street.

    Excellent video, Simon, and I liked the mix of the railway footage and the canal footage! Nice to see the Metro extension reusing some of the old railway infrastructure. I often hear Sandwell & Dudley announced as a calling point on the Avanti services from Edinburgh, so it's good to see what the station looks like!

    London Northwestern Railway could keep some of the Class 350/2s that would be used on the Chase Line and Wolverhampton-Walsall line.

    • @Sim0nTrains
      @Sim0nTrains  Před rokem +1

      Honestly.... no, reason is that I never ever flown in my life. BUT if I did in the future it would include it as part of the video rather than focus on the plane journey itself, like the Isle of Wight video I did last November, I added the Ferry crossing into the video when visiting the Island to venture on the Class 484s. It's a no for now but don't rule it out.
