- For fifteen weeks between May and August 2017, Geoff Marshall and Vicki Pipe travelled to all 2,563 Railway Stations in Britain, producing and publishing multiple videos every week online.
A few months after they'd finished they then sat down to reflect upon the journey, talk about the railways and produce this .. the feature length Documentary.
Contains new footage, that was not previously published in the daily videos.
A huge thanks (as always) to our Kickstarter backers for making this happen!

Oh .. and .. Ireland, stay tuned!

Sad that these two are no longer a couple but that is of course their choice. Watching this and the individual stories is connected to them and their wonderful chemistry together at the time together. I hope they can watch back and enjoy the good time. All the best Vicky and Geoff!
Didn’t even know they split up, that’s sad
@@Transpennine I never knew that, what happened as they seemed so happy together
That is such a shame 😔
Wow no way, they were such a good pair 😢
This is one of those beautiful niche nerdy things that are more interesting than you ever thought they could be
Absolutely right, Ivek. I LOVE this kind of thing. No cynicism, no attempts at questionable 'humour', no gimmicks. Just two people and their gentle enthusiasm.
Exactly so.
Truth! :)
I am sure that they missed many stations out as there are now many independent railway lines run by railway enthusiasts who run old former British rail lines that were closed in 1962 and that they have reopened to run steam trains again. Like the Dart Valley railway in Devon and Foxfield railway in Staffordshire.
@@angusmeigh5141 You don't have to be sure, they said outright they were not including preservation operations, just the current commercial passenger rail system.
Stuff like this is why I cancelled my tv subscription.
Brilliant!
Yes and I discover these two today when I am relaxing between making things for my smaller Steam Loco.
She should pull about 15 adults when completed. Boiler tested and passed!
Yes TV Just got our 2 years without CERTIFICATE!!!
Lovely moment of not wasting time. David and Lily Reading.
By the way Chiltern Railways is one of the very few independent railway companies in the UK to runa mainline service. It runs trains from Marylebone station to Ayesbury, Bicester and Birmingham. It also resisted a take over bid by Virgin trains. I read an interesting article on it a few years back.
Did you read the above comment, You Tube???
This series will forever have a place in my heart. My daughter was born in May 2020. I randomly found Geoff Marshall's channel and then naturally came across All The Stations. It got me through the late night feeds and early morning wake ups. The theme song feels like a part of history for me now.
Beautiful
Why do parents have to shoehorn their kids into every single conversation and topic? Well done, you managed to push out a new brat, like hundreds of millions of other people in the history of the world. What kind of sad life must you have if pushing a new kid into the world is the most interesting thing about you
@@Sirjohnfootball Merry Christmas!!
@@Sirjohnfootballyours sounds much sadder if you have to write such a long paragraph about itt
57:51 ‘do not travel with those you do not love’ ☺️ so sweeeet
I thought I heard Geoff say "Do not travel with Virgin rail". Looks like I better get my ears checked! 🤣
Bonjour vous êtes de Blackpool
38:30 I love it when Vicki remarks about the pleasure of doing something manually in a world where everything is automated. She has a fantastic point about aesthetics and the beauty of doing something by hand, even though we might have a more modern tool or device that can do it. I think this is why people still love mechanical watches in a world where cheap quartz ones are plentiful. Sometimes the unnecessary way of doing a task can be the most satisfying.
Well said !!!👍👍👏👏👏💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶
And vinyl records...😸
57:51 That smile. Geoff, I hope you realise exactly how lucky you are to be with Vicki.
I think she is a captivatingly beautiful woman and I'm sure I ain't the only one who could find themselves falling for her...
@@Beatlefan67 she is a Gem
Those expressive eyes..
Absolutely! Not only is she so very attractive, with a gorgeous smile, she is so positive, whenever anything goes wrong she sees the bright side or the silver lining: it might be a slight setback, but it's not the end of the world, so get something positive out of it, whether it's a visit to Peterborough Cathedral, or just a comforting cup of tea!
Have I missed something, you lot need to get out more.
"Nobody notices when things go right" - Zimmerman's law of complaints
I'm not a train person, but God, I love anyone who has a passion for anything. You've something that may seem mundane or nerdy to the "average" person and made it an interesting, engaging and could even say a beautiful endeavour. I love it 😀
Sorry to hear that they split up! 😵 Just came across these utube videos & been watching 4 about 6hrs so far. Especially love Corrour vids 🤗
I've seen Millions of train videos over many years.These are JUST Brilliant.Thankyou.
Cutest documentary ever. My favourite bit - other than cameo by Felix because let's be real this is the Internet after all - is how your followers jumped into action & volunteered themselves to taxi you between stops. All these complete random strangers showing up with their cars 🚗
This channel has the most professional editing on CZcams
Found Geoff’s underground adventures by pure accident then had Recommended this full documentary. I haven’t smiled so much in a very long time. 😃❤️. Now preparing a Spring rail adventure for myself and two kiddos as a result! Would like to take them on a sleeper train for the first time ever as well! I’m originally from America but have been resident in Britain for some time and I am ALWAYS at awe with the expanse and efficiency of the public transport system here; it truly is AMAZING! We live very near our own town’s rail and use it frequently. It is incredibly reliable most of the year.
Great Adventure! Sweet couple. Hope the Underground and Overground fun continues for years to come!
Try The Caledonian Sleep from Fort William to London Euston. I live in Fort William and it’s an amazing Journey, you even pass through Geoffs Favourite Station, Corrour.
Oh dear I guess you had to cancel your plans 😟
Traci K it’s ok. We are still hoping to do it!!! We will just change the time frame. :)
Rose Richardson That’s good. I only just discovered this channel, it’s weird watching in the light of these strange times.
As great as our public transport is (particularly in cities) its got nothing on continental Europe
We don't need plastic, slick presenters, we want real, authentic, sometimes flawed, human beings. Thanks for being wonderful.
To the video editor, fantastic job with sound. It really made the whole documentary flow well compared to other videos of this length made for the platform.
thanks! i (Geoff) edited this whole thing, took a while!! :-D
@@geofftech2 Professional sound designer here -- Absolutely agree with DJ. The editing and sound work turn a set of reminiscences into a touching and quite profound statement. Tip of the hat from Philadelphia. :-)
Hi from the U.S.
I see a production like this and I smile.
I look at our Amtrak system and cry. You Brits, as well as the rest of Europe, are so lucky to have real railroads.
As an Anglophile (from USA) and someone who loves trains - I can't believe I've only learned of this today. Just brilliant on so many levels! So quintessentially British - absolutely love this.
Oddly enough, my last trip to the UK was also in 2017 - with my kids. We indeed had our own adventure (within our adventure): a day trip from London Marylebone out to Kidderminster for the Severn Valley Railway. One of the best days we've ever had, 98% of it by rail.
And they are now married! Geoff, you are a lucky man, but then you've kinda made your own luck. Vicki is utterly, utterly adorable - may I belatedly wish you and Vicki a long and happy life together, and please bring us many more of your excellent videos. France? That would keep you going!
they have split up
The world is full of railways. Welcome to Scandinavia for your next project. We have some amazing railways over here and everyone speaks English.
The only thing that was a major dent to the railways was the Beeching Cuts
All the stations Norway would be amazing!
Ian at Lancaster is a legend. I distinctly remember him inexplicably whispering 'cats' over the tannoy about 18 years ago as I waited for my train to school.
The sound of the 37 gets me as well 😍
Love Vicki Pipe always bring a smile to my face
She has a pretty sweetness that is quite captivating...agreed. Geoff seems a lovely bloke too, of course. Regards
I watched this daily last year and really enjoyed this documentary, but do we really have wait another 9 years to see the pair of you on a mission again ? together you have such great on screen chemistry, you need to find another series of adventures to go on and entertain all of us. Thank you very much Geoff and Vicki.
i am doing an American version at czcams.com/play/PL_tCKq6Z3o-M_D3ZmAhs0MIEFDPgMy8FG.html
G and V also want to film all the Premier Inns.
Did Geoff Marshall go to yate Station
This summer I did a rather small 'un but travelled on every TOC in the UK.
One Word: Ireland
Also USA
Please!
@@smarteverything5832 Four Words: Filming Is In Progress
Such a great couple,whatever happened,as I understand they have parted,such a shame!!
I'm so happy that Berney Arms station featured in the start sequence and the end sequence. More people should investigate and visit it.
I visited the entire Dutch network 26 years ago. It was totally amazing. I travelled on 100 trains in 6 days and only 1 train was late because of a level crossing failure. It was like your ideal model railway on a national scale.
I love felix, try and see him every day i get off the train at hudds, makes my day
Awww .I am jealous 😫 I'd love to see & touch Felix the cat !!!😍💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💞
As a proud resident of the great city of Peterborough, I was waiting to see what they made of it and I certainly wasn’t disappointed. Such a Peterborough thing to make two people who’ve been round the entire country together and been fine have a massive argument, and then miss a train two weeks later. Absolute quality 😂😂😂.
what a fabulous couple - love their positivity and passion - this is the best thing Ive watched in ages
When I first met my wife I felt we had as much in common as these two evidently do. I hope you will both be as happy when you are 65 as you evidently are now.
I think I got off somewhere around Plymouth.
Watching this I realise I have done a similar thing many years ago in Sri Lanka. I have 6500 pictures from their railway, been to or at least passed and photographed every station including non public, private lines like the cement one. I found a dead person on one station (Mount Lavinia) I meet the head of the railway in his office. I got permission to visit and take pictures inside the main workshop. I have pictures of scrapping looks. I travel inside many of the locomotives I visited the ticket printing shop. I have pictures from the burning of the used tickets. Been to a cricket club using an old coach as a restaurant and many other things. Before I took on my project I wasn’t even that hocked on trains, but after 6 month I guess I am now. 😂
Wow that signal box at Corrour looks absolutely fantastic, I wish I could spend a few nights there. In fact, I wish I could have that as part of my house.
7 months ago, this documentary was released. God. It only feels like yesterday.
Lovely documentary: warm, friendly, and thoroughly compelling watching. I just missed the 'live' All The Stations in 2017 and caught up later, but I'll be ready for your 2027 tour - and hope by then there'll be a few more stations to visit. Bring on East West Rail...!
Lovely to be back in Geoff & Vicki's company again. A joy to see their enthusiasm.
I worked for BR and beyond for many years and it was always the same in that:- If the trains all ran on time and everything went as planned, nobody remembered, but if it all went wrong ( for whatever reason ), then nobody would let you forget. I still maintain that the time i served on the railway, was the best job i ever had. I look forward to seeing other stations i am familiar with throughout the series and commend you both for your general enthusiasm for an overworked and over laden system.
This is so cool! Also, as an American, I am so jealous of the amount of rail that y'all have
48:43 - Vicki's Platform 9 3/4 earrings.
...and the other side are the Deathly Hallows if you look closely!
Watched this Documentary quite a few times over the years ;)
here I am 8 months after this comment watching the documentary again, maybe its the sound track
I loved watching you guys travel around Britain to All The Stations and when you asked us to #HaveAnAdventure last August was so excited to participate. Then when you guys made to montage of the submitted photos I was excited to see that you use my photo from South Tacoma Station in Tacoma, Washington, USA, Then you guys released the All The Stations-The Documentary and Referenced the #HaveAnAdventure weekend video and in one of the clips you showed from the Montage video included my submitted photo. I am so excited and humbled that you gave viewers away to be apart of you adventure around Great Britain and I'm glad I participated and am now apart of All The Stations History. THANK YOU so much for all you exciting videos and keep up the good work.
Interesting to see the British railway stations!!
This documentary is completely different than most TV shown. It's extraordinary different and fun. Lovely stuff.
“Later today you’re gonna hear the sound of a 37”
**37 destroys mic levels**
I kinda miss those 37s on the Cumbrian coast. I started on the railway the same month they ended.
This channel, Geoff and Vicki are all incredibly underrated! Ive never watched videos before that are so professional yet you feel like you know them both! Love all these videos and I hope for projects like this in the future
I am sorry that it is only now that I watched the whole series. I particularly liked Vicky's approach to interviewing as well as Vicky explores. Had I known that you were doing the longest journey, this year, I would have greeted you in Cornwall where we also wear kilts although mainly on formal occasions. Thank you
Well done. This video concludes a rabbit hole that I started with another about Roman roads in Brit Isles. It made me think of all the places that have forgotten stories.
For God's sake look after that lady, she is an incredibly useful /able woman.
Saw this mentioned on Radio & TV, but that didn't give a clue as to the professionalism behind this project. Brilliant job.
Love the Corrour scene - and the piano version of "Silk" is the perfect accompanying music!
Absolutely. The Corrour scene is one of the most moving pieces of cinematography I've encountered, and Steven Francis's riff on "Silk" is absolutely perfect. I don't know why the music affected me so powerfully -- I never even saw "Trainspotting" -- but SF has a way of making very simple musical motifs tell stories that are very deep. Add Geoff's inspired eye for images and his painstaking editing, and the way he lets his feelings overflow as he stands in the tower -- and you've got a video I wish everybody would watch. If there are people who wouldn't be moved by it, I pity them. BRAVO!
@@dizzyology7514 Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I don't think Steven Francis was responsible for the cover of Silk. It was performed by Tim (of The Tim Traveller and Abandoned Rugs) - as per the description here: czcams.com/video/Z56j50tBqhg/video.html
@@AngletarnPikes You are entirely correct. I was not familiar with that clip, and since steven Francis arranged most of the music for All The Stations, I simply assumed it was his setting. Thanks for the correction. Still an amazingly apprpriate accompaniment for that scene, whoever created it.
Don't ask me why but I've never seen this. Absolutely brilliant documentary and so well put together. Lovely couple to boot.
If this video shows one thing, it's the amazing diversity of Britain's railways. Well done guys. Thoroughly enjoyable.
And early in 2022 this is still enjoyable in fact very enjoyable, thank you for the fun
Just happened upon this documentary and loved it. A great blend of travelogue, history, transport planning, and social commentary. If you’re miffed about The Beeching Report’s impact on British Rail, imagine what it’s like in the US. Amtrak is just a small fraction of the passenger lines that used to run back in the day (way, way before my time). You’ve given me many ideas of places I’d like to see on future travels in Britain.
Brilliant Geoff and Vicky...watched this during a night of insomnia...Loved it
I am not even a trainspotter but I absolutely adored this series. Beautiful to watch this wonderful couple record and comment on our British railways. I am obsessed😂😂😂
Watching this a second time now mid November 2020... Cov-19
It gives hope to the future during these troublesome bleak times.
Best wishes to all enthusiasts inspired by these to wonderfully folks.
Cheers
I discovered Geoff 1st Jan 2019 and did a deep dive of the London Underground that day. And for the net year followed him and Vicky. For some reason I never watched this documentary but have now and it is wonderful - it shows how lovely people are and how people just love doing things just because they can be done. And has possibly (along with Whitwick's Abandoned Railways) got me thinking about a railway project of my own.
Endearingly Wholesome
interrnet strangers helping out with their self-made signs
What a brilliant documentary, everything well thought out and the highlight Vicki's straight face when a train stopped because of an exploding pigeon well who'd of thought
Alderney in the Channel Islands has the only running railway in the Channel Islands. It's a single line pulled by a steam train hauling old London underground carriages from the Harbour station to the old Alderney Quarry and back to the Harbour. It only runs in the summer for tourists. Check it out.
What an amazing cat - Felix!! An amazing trip.
Now I've watched this video a couple of times, and I L-O-V-E the energy, dedication and nerdiness of the entire project. Very well made documentary!
I helps that the entire idea of "All The Stations" is amazing to begin with. Thanks for sharing your world, and love, for trains and the life around railways.
And lastly, the music-score of this documentary is so well done. Whoever made it deserves applause, for a job well done. It binds the segments of the video together perfectly.
*Applause*
thanks Mike, we really appreciate that - because we worked bloody hard to make it all happen and put it altogether! and we're about to do it again for All The Stations Ireland 2019! hope you follow along!
And by the way, the original music was written by Steven Francis, and I'm positive it was he who adapted "Silk" so elegantly for the Corrour segment. Big hand for Geoff, big hand for Vicki, and big hand for Steve!
How good you two are together - hope it's the same in your private life - a lovely couple & a great summary of your trip. Well done
Just came across this video. Incredibly interesting both in subject matter and in the characters involved. People are talking in the comment section about how nerdy the content is. I absolutely agree. I'm completely struck by how gorgeous Vicki is and could watch her all day. Good on you Geoff. You are a lucky man. But you know that already.
Man, I relate to the guy talking about the train being to relax so strongly. Always felt that way since I was a child.
Extraordinary isn't good enough a word for this series.
Magniflourious is the perfect word.
Wonderful documentary
Living in Sussex, Me and some friends two or three times a year purchase a Southern Rail Day saver ticket and travel around the network in various different directions and it’s very enjoyable
Thank you from Nevada this is great.
I think what makes Geoff (and Vicki’s) emails so relatable is that it’s not just about the trains but is about the railway as a whole.
I always say to people that I’m interested in railways, not trains.
What a lovely documentary... love seeing this! Because of All the Stations, I get to vicariously live through Vicki and Geoff and explore all the places I would love to visit one day when I'm back in England (would love to have a day out taking a train up to Edinburgh). Hopefully, in 2027 they can do it again and in 2037, their offsprings will do it for them! All The Stations 2.0!!
Why’s it taken me until now to watch this? I missed out...this was an excellent documentary
I enjoyed this piece far too much. Mind you, as a Yank, I've only been to the U.K. once (for a month in spring 2019) and then used Network Rail lines and contract trains services (Yay GWR and Transport for Wales!) as much as I possibly could to get around. I only hit North Wales, part of the northern Midlands, went up to York and Whitby, then down to London and over to Eastbourne, then down to south Devon and back. I wore myself out, had a grand time doing it and want so badly to do it again with new destinations. Gosh, I might even emigrate to make adventuring even easier! One cannot as easily travel by rail here in the greater U.S. It's far too vast and our trains too few and sporadic over much of the nation. U.K. rail travel is an absolute breeze by comparison. Thank you for more inspiration!
Currently 27 minutes in to video from a little riverbank county seat farm burg in the US midwest after being awoken by thunderstorm before dawn. This is a wonderful production. Even accounting for that scorching day in London it is clear that y'all really enjoyed your adventure. Thanks for producing this!
And then talking about the railway stations themselves brings to mind a book about UK railway stations I happened across in a bookstore over here in the US in the 1980s, and which might possibly be something to look for if you haven't already had one for decades! "Railway Architecture" edited by Marcus Binney & David Pearce, copyright 1979 by SAVE Britain's Heritage. Bloomsbury Books, An imprint of: Godfrey Cave Associates Limited, 42 Bloomsbury Street, London WC 1B.
To borrow some phrasing from my Grandfather W, the Railway Heritage's budget is two million pounds more than it would be if it were two million pounds less than it is.
Very cool about the signalbox at Corrour!
Fantastic! I watched it all the way through! I too love the railways, and this adventure was a great appreciation of one of our best ever assets, living assets. Well done! Bon Voyage!
Not a particular train fan , but one word: AWESOME document.
These guys are National Treasures...... I love their enthusiasm and honesty.
Out of all the stations I love it that my local station is on the thumbnail , thanks very much 👍🏻
Hello from Kansas USA🇺🇸
Just beautiful, thanks for making this!
Loved it, totally brilliant
A Simple thumbs up doesn't seem enough to say how much I have enjoyed these two and their travels!
I followed this series live at the time, but then this documentary (which I'd also seen before) popped up thanks to CZcams. Was great to watch it again and reminisce. Thanks Geoff, Vicki and the team. XX
Absolutely brilliant! Loved it!
This is awesome and amazing! Love it!
Having followed the whole series, this video is a brilliant summary of your adventures! Well done, the pair of you!
I really felt like I was there for some rural segments, because it just rained where I live and is so cool and moist.
Loved this! Great to revisit the journey.
Most enjoyable. Thank you guys.
Just watched this, what a great video and story, thank you!!!
Ooh, that little teaser at the end has me excited :D
Just watching it now, loved the fact that you’ve shown a couple of my local stations....
What a brilliant documentary of a fascinating journey. So glad you did this and then took the time to share the experience in such an engaging way.
Thank you for the journey, really!
Ian of Lancaster is a blast from my past!! Bit late commenting maybe, but I was at Carnforth when he started. I miss those times so much. Plus Steve at Barrow, not changed a bit! Thanks for the memories!
Railway nobility! Sir Ian of Lancaster, and of course Lady Felix of Huddersfield ;)
such a bloody good series. i loveeee your credit music too. awesome
Geoff you got a new follower from holland here on youtube! great job! cheers
What a joy, great program loved every minuet .
Outstanding documentary. Thank You!
what a fantastic thing "adventure" to do together..... I'm sooooo envious, well done :)
