You two had set yourselves one serious challenge... the main problem with disused railways is that they are disused so you can't just hop on a train to each stop.... this is gonna be one hell of an experience for you both. Love your editing style. Keep it up... remember Britain runs (or used to run) on tea, gin and rusty old rails
Thank Robert. Yup this is going to get us out and about for sure. Interestingly Colin has done the vast majority of Cornwall, Devon and Somerset by bike and train!
Colin at the Exeter & Teign Valley Railway is a good friend of mine for over 25 years. What he doesn’t know about railways isn’t worth knowing. I stayed there a month after your trip in 2018. He is the only person that has a joined up vision for the future of the railway.
ah... south devon! my home. I hadnt found my way this far back in the catalog... Totnes, Ashburton (with the Star Wars walker!), Dawlish, Kingsbridge and the rest !! Thanks for the pointer
Loving the edit style - fantastic and adds to the quirkiness of your videos. Giving you a style all of your own rather than looking like others. Keep it up - thoroughly enjoying :-)
I'm so glad I found your channel recently, i've loved all of the vids I've seen so far. This one especially is making me rather homesick as I grew up in Brixham so spent a lot of time around the Paignton & Dartmouth line and I also volunteered for the South Devon Railway as a fireman back in 2007. I'm now living in Alaska, lil bit far away from home to be doing that again but this has put a huge smile on my face and warm feelings in my heart. Thank you. Also, if you ever get the chance to head down this way again, try looking for Sorley Tunnel (used to be a family adventure attraction at one point) which is down near Kingsbridge. And if you keep going into Plymouth, there's some great remnants of the L&SWR running through the city. If you haven't already done so (you may have and I just haven't gotten to that vid yet), look up the Devonport and Ford tunnels that still run under Devonport Park (although mostly inaccessible these days).
Just discovered your channel and really enjoying it. Glad to see the comment you made below about Dartmouth, because it was a real station in that you could buy through tickets from there. I know it very well because my Dad (who would have been 90 this very day strangely) used to drive the British Railways parcel delivery truck down there back in the 60s. He'd take me with him on Saturdays and in the school holidays. We would load all the parcels from the train into the truck at Kingswear and then take the lower ferry across the river and sort them into delivery order in the station at Dartmouth (actually I'd be playing down on the ferry pontoon by now). Then it was off on and adventure that would take us all around Dartmouth (always a lot of parcels for the Naval College), Strete, Blackawton, Blackpool and Slapton. Very fond memories. He then got promoted to chargeman at Paignton where he stayed until he retired in the early 90s. I got promoted too because I got to ride up and down from Paignton to Kingswear in the DMUs that they were using until the line was closed by BR. So yes, please go back to Dartmouth, it is a lovely place. Even after 40 years of exile in Hampshire. Keep up the good work. Brilliant channel.
Crikey, went for a week in Dartmouth wi M&D, back in early ish 70's, stayed in a family friends flat really close to the old harbour edge. Kingswear across t'other side, active then still I think. Met a lass called Sam from above the town. Took a trip on the Devon Belle/Dart Valley Railway ¿?
Ref the dotted line on your sketch map. The Plym valley line ran up the valley via Yelverton to Tavistock. Also higher up the P.lymouth side of the valley was a tramway with granite sets. It was just metres from my then home next to Mainstone wood. The tramway was used to transport granite from High Dartmoor near Princetown to sea level at Marsh Mills. Much of both are walkable. EDIT, I see you have explored here in other vids I just found. Thanks !
Have you done a video on any abandoned stations in Cornwall yet? There's Perranporth, St Agnes and Shepherds Stations on the Chacewater to Newquay branch (closed 1963). On that line there was also Mount Hawke, Goonbell, Mithian, Perranporth Beach, Goonhavern, Mitchell & Newlyn and Trewerry & Trerice Halts. This line had the highest number of stops in proportion to its total length of 18 miles 75 chains. And that's just for starters!
Wrangaton Signal box has now been re-erected at the Kidderminster Railway Museum. I recall a very enjoyable weekend attempting to chip hardened lime mortar from the bricks as we dismantled it, in October 1994! I can't believe it was so long ago!
Think back to the daze whence platform as pictured was once its Station masters, swept, upkept, tidied pride and joy, and a pleasure to set foot upon...... Once.
At 16.20, yes that is Ashton station, it’s my house! Most of the platform is still there, if you’d have knocked on the door, you could have had a look around.
Thanks Andy. That's very kind. We do try and avoid that though as often people aren't quite as friendly as you when we poke a camera at their house! We will be back to Devon of course!
Another great video...I used to deliver multi drop to all those areas you visited and identified most of the old stations you found...i found some great pictures on line of those stations in their heyday and it's sad to see how some of them ended up.....this area is notorious for lack of toilets...and if you get caught short you can be in trouble as you found out......😁😁
LOVED IT Come to Tavistock and I will HAPPPPPPILY show you around and tell the story ofhow they SHOULD?? have kept a line open as Dawlish was a known problem
Did you ever go back to Kingskerswell?! It was the one I was looking forward to! (And you can see a nice shot of the old platforms from the road bridge in the village) :)
Oh. You went to Kingswear station. But you missed Dartmouth station across the river from Kingswear. And yes it was a proper GWR station. It is now a cafe called Station Café.
Well, that was a trip down memory lane. We used to live in Devon (Jo hails from there) so there were quite a few places that we were able to recognise, if briefly, as you thundered past. What you need are OS Maps on your mobile. It would certainly make tracking down the stations much easier, although not necessarily more fun. 🙂
Ahhhh. We do have the OS app which is great for locating you via GPS however if the phone doesn't have service it won't load the map... Doh. Glad it brought back some memories for you, it's a beautiful area.
It is a lovely place to live. Although we do prefer Wales. As for the maps you should be able to download them onto your phone, assuming you have the right app. That way service is irrelevant.
Never thought of that! Just assumed that for the money we would get all that. something like £25.00 / year. I shall dig deeper next time... (tomorrow!).
Teigngrace is where the royal train used to park on visits to Devon in the 1980’s and The Royals would use Teigngrace platform to get off and on their train
Hi both, just seen your video.. I wished I knew you were coming here. I have a great telephone museum. You could have stayed with me in Torquay.. the telephone museum is private but you would have been most welcome. The museum has a lot of old railway items from this area. Cherrs Shane
I can't believe I hadn't seen this! I'm a Teign (teen) valley boy through and through, wouldve loved to help you on this line, shown you some locally known secrets, and the aerial ropeway from the quarries to the rail! Maybe next time you're around 😃
The bridge at 6;20 is the grand driveway to THE BIG HOUSE high above the station. The Children from there caught the train for School it says in the book of the line. Yes I was going to model the station but wives and lives got in the way. Lived in Devon for most of my life and still have connections. The line almost got preserved but bosses at the top diddnt pass the message onto the demolition contractors so it fell! Avonwick was or still is a Bed and Breakfast! David and Lily.
A huge challenge. If you are including the Isle of Man on your list, let me know when you are coming here. There are some lovely disused stations to see here and since the Island is small, you can get them all done in day! In fact, once or twice a year the railway group hire a bus to take people around the old stations and sometimes inside them, so if you time your visit with that, it will be easy :-)
aS A new Subscriber, watcher and Patreon for that matter, I was amazed at 2:53 to find Sir Bradley Wiggins had made a guest appearance. this should boost your numbers some what. Here's to the next ten years then
I'm disappointed you didn't do Dartmouth station across from Kingswear, which was built by Brunel and abandoned because he wasn't allowed to build the railway across the Dart. The station was abandoned and is now used as a cafe.
Another excellent video looking forward to following your adventure around the UK and exploring our amazing railway heritage. Did you manage to look at that file of closed locations that I have made
Thank you! Do you mean the maps one? If yes, Rebecca has made a start on that and seems to have it working. We now ned to get our rears in gear and upload the locations we have been to!
@@pwhitewick It is in Dorset. Maiden Newton is still active..Powerstock was called Poorstock before the railway. I need to correct.. think the Totnes heritage station is actually Toller Porcorum, also on the line. (Roman pig market!!!) I am a female train..especially disused..enthusiast ..anoraksia?? If you have not already done so, Hellingly station on the cuckoo trail between Polegate and Eridge is fab. Thanks so much for the wonderful videos. Kind regards.
Great video again. but just to let you know totnes littlehempston was never disused. It was built from scratch by the south Devon railway volunteers when they were stopped from using totnes mainline station.
you didnt get to preston halt it can still be found in an alley behind marine drive the bricked up gateway and stairs up to the wooden platform are still visable on the embankment
Unfortunately not. That and Kingkerswell were two from the main line that we missed owing to time. We figured that they would be easy ish to do next time we pass the area.
@@pwhitewick Fair enough but there was something about the Kingsbridge branch that I read or heard (cannot remember which one lol) that the South Devon Railway were planning to buy the line from Brent to Kingsbridge but i'm not too sure if the line was ripped up before they made a offer or the price was too high but instead they ended up buying the (Paignton to Kingswear) Dartmouth Steam Railway from British Rail.
I'm confused. In the S & D video, you visited 39 stations. Episode 1 was Churn (40). How was the first stop in Episode 2 - 45? Also, where were 17, 30, 33-35 in this video? Did I blink too often?
All very good questions!.... We may have overlapped one or two in error. However best place to check is the website and the datebase on the everydisusedstation tab. We try and update this but as suggested might be one or two cross overs.
At the moment no specific plan.... Sorry. Likely March onwards I would suspect. If you want to drop me an email via the website that would be great 👍👍👍
Great vid guys, as mentioned already you’ve set yourselves one hell of a project/challenge, you must be spending a fortune on Premier inns!? How many lines a year do you hope to visit? One suggestion, could you please announce which line your on when you get to your first station site as I got a bit lost in following where you were lol! You did say what lines you were doing at the beginning but as I was following where you were online, you moved on to the next line before I’d caught up, not sure if this is just me or has anybody else mentioned this?
Cheers William. Glad you are enjoying the videos. We plan ahead quite a bit so always look out for a cheap deal, not always premier Inn, just whatever is the cheapest we can find. This was our second video in the series and we learnt a lot from this. We pretty much burnt ourselves out doing so many lines in one video, so here on in afterwards we took it a tad slower and did one line at a time. Hopefully that will make it easier to follow. (Feedback definitely appreciates though so feel free to comment on any others). 👍👍👍
Whitewick's Abandoned Railways Your welcome, I was worried in case I sounded like I was nitpicking. My project has been ongoing now since 2008, and not got a lot done, a few but not a lot, I’m planning on walking or cycling every Disused Railway that’s walkable without trespassing, which is one reason it’s taken me so long so far! Besides time and cost! So I can appreciate the effort and work that’s involved in what you are doing. Best of luck with the project!😀👍
Playing catch up [slowly], so well late. When you finally complete your rail challenge, could start another one of where council maintained loos used to be. Only joking, you'd never finish it.
you missed out dartmouth station....the only station the railway never got to.and the pronunciation of kingskerswell is ..... Kings Kers well.....en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingskerswell. my partners dad lives next door and he was a guard on south devon railway and station master of staverton as well as totnes please feel free to contact us for any more info on that line from buckfast to totnes
there's quite a few derelict lines in Cornwall parts of the helston branch still derelict but I am a member of the railway association that I've just laid over a mile of track down and we're running a steam engine called kilmeston also there's the st Agnes branch that is completely derelict you guys will enjoy that one
Paul, just one piece of advice... when trying to justify on'es ignorance of Harry Potter references you will do better to claim you have not read the books rather than you have not watched the films. Just sayin'.... Keep up the good work!

Yup couldn't agree more. It's been a couple of years now, but my goodness we had a good natter.
There are two abandoned tunnels on the Teign Valley line. Speak to Colin and he will give you all the information you require.
We did film that route but the tunnels are on a private estate I think.
A very enjoyable "little adventure" as you called it. Super film. Great fun to follow. Thank you
This was great, fantastic production. You guys seem to have a real feel of adventure on your channel. Really easy watching so awesome job.
Cheers guys. Much appreciated. I think this was our first proper #EveryDisusedStation adventure so very experimental.
