Thanks enjoyed that. I’m not to far away so will pay them a visit in my 1974 MGB
You're welcome! Thank you for watching! Sounds good, enjoy your visit.
I thought I knew that make of car! God bless you. 👍
Its a Lada! Thank you for joining me! :)
It trundles around so cute!
Thank you for watching! That's what I love about Narrow Gauge Railways.
What a great adventure, Henry! I really enjoyed this tour and trip of yours. Thanks so much for sharing this narrow gauge railway experience.
You're welcome! Thank you for joining me!
Thanks for taking me to another railway I didn't know about. Cheers. Tim.
You're welcome! Thank you for joining me! Your channel has introduced me to plenty of railways I didn't know about.
@@HenrysAdventures The world is full of surprises, I came across a wonderful railway around a nursery in the New Forest, it was only open to the public a few days a year. I made a video, but the guy who owned it asked me not to publish it because he didn't really want anyone other than a few locals to know about it. I wonder how many other similar private railways exist around the country?
@@Timsvideochannel1 I should think a lot more than we think. Some are just visible and others completely hidden!
Lovely. And a sunny day to boot! 👍
Thank you! :)
On standard gauge, Leeds to Skipton trains had to reverse into one of the platforms at Shipley before the new Platform 5 (now renumbered) was built on the mainline.
Didn't know about that one, other than that Shipley is a triangular station. That's an area I'd like to explore in the future.
@@HenrysAdventures Originally there were just 4 platforms. I think 1 and 2 served Bradford Forster Square to Bingley and beyond, and 3 and 4 were for Forster Square to Ilkley and Leeds, but it could be the other way around. The track was removed from platform 1 at some time. Later platform 5 was built on the Leeds to Skipton line. When the Leeds, Bradford Forster Square, Skipton and Ilkley lines were electrified, a platform on the Skipton to Leeds line and a footbridge were built, and I believe the new mainline platforms became 1 and 2, and the other 3 platforms became 3, 4 and 5. I need to check! I also think that trains from Skipton to Leeds would have arrived in platform 2, pulled forward past Bradford Junction box then reversed into platform 3 before continuing through Guiseley Junction.
@@randomroveruk6715 Thank you for the info! I didn't realise the history was that complex.
@@HenrysAdventures Yes, an interesting station. I'd like to show you around if we were both in the area at the same time.
Tea and cake-- what suffering for the hobby! 😆 That hole in the hedge was cool. Thanks for the ride!
You're welcome! Thank you for joining me! :)
Cool narrow gauge! Thanks for taking us along
You're welcome! Thank you for joining me!
Excellent video I visited Hollycombe Steam back in 2019 and they have a Narrow Gauge Railway that also goes around in a loop then reverses back into the station and they also have a Miniature Railway and also other attractions that is steam operated
Thank you! I remember going on that 2' gauge railway at Hollycombe as a child, its somewhere I'd like to visit again, especially to go on their miniature railway.
What a great find Henry, superb railway, and a bakery and tea room, what more do you need.
Thank you for watching! Always great to see places like this added to the map.
Hi Henry hollycombe steam collection in Liphook does the same leaves the station then goes around a big circle then reverses back into the station where you started from 👍 looks interesting there
Thank you for watching! Yes, now you say you've jogged my memory! I remember going on that as a child and its somewhere I really should visit again! :)
@@HenrysAdventures yes definitely Henry worth a visit it’s not far from me 👍👍
Great train ride! Super video! Thumbs Up
Thank you very much for watching!
Hello good video , like, , super my friend
Thank you for watching!
Very interesting video!! 👍
Thank you! :)
I think I recognise the shoes in the brakevan! It is a pleasant stroll from Witham, or a £8 taxi ride.
Thank you for watching and nice to you meet you there!
Nice video also if your planning on doing more narrow gauge videos I'd recommend going to amberly museum in West Sussex we have a narrow gauge railway there with 2 steam engines both built buy bagnalls and the oldest of the twos boiler ticket expired at the end of this year so if you would like to catch 1905 built polar bear in service I'd recommend going soon as we think the overall will take a long would recommend either miniature steam weekend with all the miniature traction engines there or autumn industrial trains day
Thank you for watching! I do intend to visit Amberley Museum this October. I last visiting in 2001 and have always wanted to visit again.
Is Polar Bear the loco from the Groudle Glen railway on the Isle Of Man?
@@ianstaples9118 yes it is the second one delivered as the first was sea lion
@@2ftbetweentherails24 I thought so . I'm from IOM The railways are superb .
It would be interesting to know the history of the loco.
Thank you for watching. She was recently overhauled/rebuilt by Alan Keef as mentioned and I've since found out she was previously 2'6" gauge. Once I have some more history on both locos I'll put it in the description.
@@HenrysAdventures Thanks Henry for taking the time to reply.

Not the most scenic railway, but a railway nonetheless!
