Another excellent video, thank you for sharing Simon. I have never travelled on this line, but I do love reading about it and watching videos about it.
A shame about the cuts, as Saltburn is my local station and it’s only had the TPE services since fairly recently and they seem pretty well used. But apparently TPE can make better use of the units elsewhere. Anyway, well done on surviving South Bank (not somewhere you want to hang around!) and for visiting some of the Yorkshire stations that G loves trains missed out!
I can see why G missed some of the Yorkshire Stations out, yes the line between Middlesborough and Saltburn is in North Yorkshire but it's not when you search 'Yorkshire and Humber' it's North Yorkshire (excluding areas in the Tees Valley of North East England) as she done it by Region which is why the Tees Valley Line isn't done, Can only go from what I seen online
Thank you, It's a shame but there is still a 30 minute Northern service from Middlesborough to Saltburn and vice versa which I think in the future it could be increased to 4 trains per hour once the new platforms are opened at Darlington
I am glad you covered this line as we recently went to the Hopetown Railway Museum at Darlington and i was wondering about the railway that went through it, there was a station called North Road and people were getting on and off at it, but i was told that the line went to Saltburn.
Thank you, North Road Station is on the Bishop Auckland to Saltburn line but only gets a hourly service, the other service starts at Darlington using one of the bay platforms. I also do want to visit Hopetown Railway Museum one day as well and revisit Shildon as well. The line to Bishop Auckland I am planning to cover in 2025 as it 200 years since the Stockton and Darlington Railway opened.
hi Simon, excellent vid mate i do think however your vids could do with the enhancement of drone footage of the stations you visit. also you missed out on seeing Saltburns second railway station which was opened to serve therailway hotal at the very end of the line in saltburn. thanks again for sharing. happy traveling Ray Penna Lane tmd
Hi Ray, have been thinking about a drone for ages being honest and as for the other station, should had done but needed to get back to Newcastle so I could take the Chathill Train for another video that I was filming but can't show that yet until I filmed more ECML videos
@@Sim0nTrains yeah mate drones are good and do enhance other peoples vids ive seen, ive got a dji mini pro which is a brilliant drone and easy to fly, keep checking on dji website as some times they do have sales on so u could buy one cheaper than normal price. i do recomend getting the drone with the hand held controller with the screen it keeps you from using yr phone as the screen which can lose conectivity with the drone during flight. catch you later mate and take care.
With Redcar British Steel railway station mothballed and not being used anymore. I think it could reopen and to be renamed as Redcar West with new development and some of the factories to be reinstated.
I won't be on it Sadly and I won't be chasing it as well. I might see it at Stafford on Sunday but I am planning a Class 323 video for this Sunday which has been filmed.
It sounds like a challenge being honest and possibly would take a whole day but there are problems with that doing it one day. Bishop Auckland to Darlington is hourly service. (However will be doing that line one day as I only been as far as Shildon, especially that next year is the 200 anniversary since the Stockton and Darlington Railway opened) So I am looking to do something with that Mentally it would drain me, if I was just riding the whole line from Bishop Auckland to Saltburn then that's fine but getting off at every station between those two stations would require a day or two to get it done.
What from I remember is that they want to restore the timetable to pre COVID and its, easy to turnback a Redcar Central so they can move a unit onto another diagram, I'm not 100% on the reason but I know it not complaints about noisy trains as they were the Class 68s which are long gone from TPE
An embarrassing situation happened to me, the trains I used many years ago were inter city 125, toilet door had a sliding lock. Went on a train recently with push button door. well I was using toilet thinking when the door closed it automatically locked, lol wasn't. Door opened, me piddling in toilet the guy said nice! As the door closed.
It has happened to me a few times, I opened the door and there someone in the toilet as they didn't lock the door, it's embarrassing but I do forget about
Hi, Sim0n. There's four things I like to ask you. 1. What camera do you normally use? 2. What microphone is this? 3. What software do you normally edit your videos 4. What quality do you go for? Is it in 1080p60, 1920 and 25 frame rate, or is it a different quality? If you can tell me all the details, I appreciate you can send me a comment.
Hello, This is what the comment section is for. 1) I use the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Camera 1a) depending on videos, I used to film with the Canon Legria RF806... This was till the end of 2023 1b) Especially in this video as the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 hasn't got a good zoom, I used a Sony DSC-HX60 Camera to help with the zoom shots. 2) The mic I use is the DJI Mic 2 Transmitter (I brought the Mic with the Creator Combo, it does cost more to buy the creator combo but it's worth it) 3) The software is Wondershare Filmoria, the latest version is 14 but I am still on 13, You do have to pay for a license key and also for the yearly update to the latest version (That's why I'm on 13 as I haven't paid to upgrade to 14 yet) 4) 1080p60, The Osmo Pocket 3 can film in 4K but I don't like 4K due to creating Proxy files which takes a long time. Hope that helps
Currently with TPE there is a half an hour Northern service between Darlington and Saltburn, one of those services carries on to Bishop Auckland. But when the new platforms get built there is plans to run a 15 minute service between Darlington and Saltburn but I'm not sure if that is going ahead at the moment
MiddlesBROUGH not MiddlesBOROUGH! I don't think the news that most TPE's trains won't reach Saltburn has hit the local media yet - the sh** will hit the fan when it does!
On the map, yep that my mistake and hold my hands up to that, Information like that won't get announced to the public till late November into early December but what I've seen there are some interesting changes happening, like TPE will be running a 2 hourly service between Huddersfield and Leeds. When I heard about that, that was bad but just seen that Northern will be running a 2 hourly Huddersfield to Leeds service which makes that line with a hourly service
Its a pity about the old stations on the route being closed, i hate those little bus shelters, they give you very liitle shelter from the wheather, especially if you have a long wait. Are the people of Saltburn going to be left with a meaningful train service that they will be able to use during the winter, it seems unfair that commuters have to suffer just because they live in a town that has seasonal tourism. It s not really encurageing people to use the train is it.
@Sim0nTrains bloody TPE cutting back services to Saltburn😪 but great video amd plenty of 158 thrash! Will TPE ever get the service increased again? Or is it permanent?

Do you think it says something about Manchester that they are two trains leaving but only one arriving? 😁
Happy belated birthday Simon from last month

Great vlog of the Tees Valley Line Simon. I Traveled along this line in 2018 to Saltburn before TPE even extended beyond Middlesbrough.
Thank you Sam
Great video Simon
A great video. Sad to hear of the rail cuts.
Thank you, It's a shame but there is still a 30 minute Northern service from Middlesborough to Saltburn and vice versa which I think in the future it could be increased to 4 trains per hour once the new platforms are opened at Darlington
Great video Cyber 👍
Running 6 car 185s to Saltburn every hour is probably not the best use of resources
brilliant vlog
Thanks Michael

Great video Simon. Belated happy birthday to you! Agreed those signal boxes are quite nice
Brilliant video Cyber, the stations on this route do look nice, shame about TPE cutting back though.
Thanks Reuben 👍
Do love the sounds of the class 185 so amazing to hear when they depart 15:08 I use 185s quite a lot
Always a popular route the Tees Valley Line with freight action and Superior Sprinters! Shame TPE are cutting back

Looks like a fun route, Simon.
TPE are a right pain in the wotsit aren’t they? I assume Saltburn maintains an hourly service with northern?
Are you coming on the Class 323 farewell tour?
I won't be on it Sadly and I won't be chasing it as well. I might see it at Stafford on Sunday but I am planning a Class 323 video for this Sunday which has been filmed.
You should do the whole line from bishop Auckland to saltburn
It sounds like a challenge being honest and possibly would take a whole day but there are problems with that doing it one day.
Bishop Auckland to Darlington is hourly service. (However will be doing that line one day as I only been as far as Shildon, especially that next year is the 200 anniversary since the Stockton and Darlington Railway opened) So I am looking to do something with that
Mentally it would drain me, if I was just riding the whole line from Bishop Auckland to Saltburn then that's fine but getting off at every station between those two stations would require a day or two to get it done.
What is the reason for the cutbacks ? Complaints of noisy trains at Saltburn perhaps. Or revenue sharing is a possibility.
What from I remember is that they want to restore the timetable to pre COVID and its, easy to turnback a Redcar Central so they can move a unit onto another diagram, I'm not 100% on the reason but I know it not complaints about noisy trains as they were the Class 68s which are long gone from TPE

Shame to hear that Saltburn will be losing its TPE services. Is there at least going to be a more frequent Northern service to make up for the loss?
Currently with TPE there is a half an hour Northern service between Darlington and Saltburn, one of those services carries on to Bishop Auckland. But when the new platforms get built there is plans to run a 15 minute service between Darlington and Saltburn but I'm not sure if that is going ahead at the moment
@@Sim0nTrains ah well that would be good if it goes ahead!
