Vicki Explores ... Looe Valley Line
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- It's Friday 13th October, and we return back to Cornwall, to get out and properly explore the stations on the Looe Valley branch - that's St Keyne Wishing Well Hall, Causeland, Sandplace and Looe itself.
There's a separate 'Least Used Station .. Cornwall' video to follow / link to follow on Geoff's channel.

I love your content, i have autism so im very nervous about train journeys and visiting places your videos help plan my journeys and help me settle some nerves thank you for the helpful content ❤
I have autism to
❤❤❤❤❤
Yayy another Vicki explores, so glad you're keeping the channel going with these!
"Way ahead."
Priceless. :-)
Really glad to see 'All The Stations' is still alive, well and still exploring. Great to be able to share in your fun.
well I don't have many channels with the bell pressed.. but it has been for this one. Thank you. This is exactly what I need.
"Way ahead." COMEDY GOLD!
11:34... it's hard to actually *describe* why I adore you two so much... but this bit preeeeety much nails it.
😂😂😂
Supposing that VP had only an hour to get to the circle and back to the station, then that was a very respectable time to Duloe. It's a mile and a half to Duloe from the station with a large hill to climb. Walking downhill can be very tiring in itself because of the different use of muscles. Good job, Vicki!
Crow T. Robot thank you! My legs did ache the next day I can tell you!
My home town! Hope you enjoyed it. x
Another brilliant video, Geoff and Vicki...my sides are still literally sore from laughing so much!, Hope the “hike” to the Stone Circle was worth the effort Vicki😃 Can’t wait for the next video, guys👍
thanks Roddy! :-D
Welcome back Vicki and Geoff! Keep these brilliant videos coming please......
I went on holiday in looe a few years ago, so lovely to see it again :) One of my favourite holidays!
When I was on holiday in rented an small house like 5 minuts away from Causeland station. Sweets stadtion I ever saw.
Oh fantastic. Like I said on the other channel this was my childhood place for holidays. Love Looe. Polperro is even better. But alot smaller and no railway station. Great video
Made my day seeing another video on the channel - fantastic!
love the little seaside villages of Cornwall
A great video from one of the loveliest railways in Britain! Keep up the good work!
Catch up moment for me, a line I've never travelled, though passed through Liskeard once each way, as good as I've done.
awesome stuff! keeps me entertained while doing all these assignments
Ha, I actually rode that line and was curious about those stations on the way to Looe--they seemed abandoned! I might have to hop off next time just to wander around. :) Thanks for sharing!
vickie is my new patron saint.
Love the story about the wishing well!
The channel that keeps on giving! :)
Another great video keep up the good work both of you
Excellent film guys,like all the others. I rode the Looe branch last year and visited the town. It's a lovely place.
Loved that! :D. I loved how you changed Buxton to St Keyne Wishing Well. What was funny was that in another ATS video, when you were at Buxton, you changed Evian to Buxton! Lol.
Everyone should walk like that on country roads with no footpaths, walk on the right hand side (into oncomming traffic) and if there is a corner make sure you are on the outside of it, its safer for the walker because drivers will see you sooner. Thankyou Vicki for the tutorial, i was taught this by someone who walks alot and i taught it to my daughter and she has taught it to her half siblings.
I spent a week in Looe a few years back its a truly beautifull place and the valley line is a wonderfull ride, when we were in the village shopping one day the lifeboat had a call out as we were stood by the building, it was great to watch them in action.
But yes, the hills, dear gods the hills !
0:04 Proof right there that Vicki's from Norfolk. 'On the huh' is one of those beautifully quirky phrases that I've yet to hear anyone but Norfolk people use :) Cos we're a funny bunch like that :D
And for anyone needing a translation, it roughly means something that's not level or wonky. :)
Rothevator so true!! Any time I say it no one has any idea what I'm talking about!!!
I was just going to post that!
I missed that one - thanks. What a rich dialect, and Suffolk as well it seems! www.eadt.co.uk/news/suffolk-phrase-on-the-huh-celebrated-for-national-poetry-day-1-5142809. I recall some friends from Norwich rhyming the phrase - 'I do go to Swaffam for nuffin', which made me laugh, and that wasn't about the price of the fare!
Rothevator All I hear is standard ENGLISH. Nothing Norfolk about her.
FYI, Southmead Lad: www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=on%20the%20huh
I guess I am the only re-watcher, miss the Vicki, hope you are doing well.
So steep...but the view is so beautiful. And Looe and Sausalito could be sister towns with the water and the hillside houses...although Sausalito doesn't have train service.
Great video guys - really enjoyed it 😀
oh my goodness, I wasn't expecting it to be Duloe stone circle! I've been there!
Lovely way to start my day
Enjoyable as ever, hope there's more to come
Good explore! Cider pasty - lol. Nice to see the obligatory Gull shot. Feels oddly familiar/weird that I was down there a few weeks beforehand!
Congratulations! 🎉
Absolutely the Most Entertaining Story- as a couple a Hit Show (!!)
Brilliant video; thanks 👍.
The intent is clear. All the stations. All over again.
So cool, always on track 🚊
And there you were at St Keyne, obsessed with wishing wells, and not one comment on the overbridge. The arch is over the original Looe Canal which the railway was built to replace. At that point, the railway is at its closest to the canal.
Nice to see the explorations.
Nice, very nice! If you had more time in Looe, there's the famous statue in West Looe of Nelson The Seal - a bit of a local legend!
Love Looe, we holidayed there as kids in 1978.
I went there last year! That was well before I had a UA-cam channel. I took a trip on the train to liskeard.
Vicky - gorgeous.
Vicki explores... ALL THE TOWNS
The rail partnership for this line have done an app(looe valley line app) details at liskeard station and you can follow the train on its jny down branch. P.s another good video
Nice of Vicki's employer to give her some.... time off in Looe (sorrynotsorry)
jomo87 🙄😂
Top drawer content. 👏👏👍😀
As soon as I saw this video, I wondered if the climb from Causeland to Duloe had been attempted. Many years ago I and parents visited Looe and one morning we caught train to Causeland. Incidentally the station appears to have been hugely improved on your clip, see the photo on the Wikipedia article for what it used to look like until only a few years ago. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causeland_railway_station
Anyway, we walked up to Duloe and it was well worth it after a the climb - we went to the advertised pub on the Map we had and the food was brilliant. I forget what we had but I remember it being epic. On the same holiday we went to the "Magnificent Music Machines" site at St Keyne - I was able to play the Wurlitzer Organ which I remember well. Although on that occasion we used the car - I did have a look at the station.
Really picturesque village..
Live Looe, daughter lives in Cornwall so we go there a lot with my grandson, didn’t know there was a station though!😂😹
Glad it continueth!! Vicki explores loo! Hmm! Oh sorry wrong spelling!
Vicki for the win!
the station sign at Causeland looks like a vicrail one
I like Vicki's more than Geoffs! Stop being mean to her Geoff! :)
Is this a way of telling your many devoted fans that you have finally tied the knot that you failed to do at
Gretna?☺☺☺☺☺
Excellent production as always. I mentioned to "Londonist" that the Glasgow underground/subway was worth covering. They came back with a "it's not in London" a pretty poor wriggle out if I ever heard one. It will cost me $6-7,000 to visit myself, pls can you do me a favour and cover it next time you are passing by. Thanks
320ifq lucas I'm sure they went on the Glasgow subway but I think it's not easy to film it .
Only a minute viewed & I want to visit Looe again problem I live in New Zealand! Oh well maybe next year :-)
Mike Be I was in Looe the other day, and I want to visit New Zealand!! and Australia, and Canada!! Maybe one day....
hi viki and geof like your video esppesley st keyne
4.08 Emperor Palpatine really enjoying his holiday in Cornwall 😂
Crafty Vicki! Well done that lady!! Haaaa 🤣
I found Geoff yesterday cause he had abandoned in his vid title.....binge watched too many now there are some crackin Vicki vids. Did I use that right? I learned that from W&G.
do some more love this.
If you haven’t already. Have you done the Bodmin & Wenford Heritage railway?
Jack Pourgourides Yes it's GWR the same company that run the mainline services to London from St Erth/Penzance, and all the other Cornish branches still on the NR network.
Will you be doing a Vicki explores the Cumbrian acoast Line
Do you have a special train pass to cover all of your trips eg an annual pass? Train travel appears so very expensive over there in the UK.
St. Keane - your best scene ever i reckon
8:32 Speed XVI in which Sandra Bullock defuses a bomb on a Sprinter, whilst Keanu wisely makes another John Wick movie.
@8:32 Is the footage sped up or did this train just slow down this suddenly? Also, is it a "sprinter" or a "pacer" and how does one tell?
They only use Sprinters on the Cornish branches now. They tried out Pacers in 1987 and it was an unmitigated disaster, because of the tight curves on some of the lines, notably the Liskeard - Coombe Jct. Halt loop on the Looe Branch and the sharp curve on leaving Par on the Newquay line. (Industrial ear-plugs wouldn't have been out of place!!)
Time Vicki had her own - superior! - channel. Move over Dan Snow... :-)
What is your favourite station on Looe valley brach line
Will you guys finish London's least used stations? Last episode was releases on Geoff's own channel, and not Londonist, I'm kinda wondering if you're not using interest, perhaps.
Are you off on the Barton line
Hey how about, All the heritage railways !
" we're in the loo"
You should go back to the NRM and do a vicki explores
Any Vicki gets lost videos?
A park bench? Tom Scott and Matt Grey look different today...
I was never sure,...were they a couple?
Yes
@@camotech1314 Always gave me the impression off camera, things were a bit spicy, a bit feisty, snapping, snarling and barking at each other.
Geoff and Vicki are no longer a couple
who come the train dos not the train stop at combe ?
Vicki should be on the left when she does the Explores vids.
The oldest building in lieu of what? ;)
Very clever, poor Geoff. (Perhaps)
What is your favourite station
Vicki; when you walk up steep hills, take much smaller steps and you won't get out of breath; your 74 yr old viewer
Are you guys still doing videos?
Geoff still does but not with Vicki ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx5FdiZUOh-T1RYv-Qo7UDwsmHcsCUL3kF
Do Romney heath & dimcherch
I was actually expecting a loo joke. Damn :-(
vicki explores Kemble
Everytime Vicki exclaims something followed by "man", take a drink.
Please wait
VIcki was breathing like a bellows walking up hill.
Missing Vicki.
yous are so funny :)
Wondering how you loose a stone circle, maybe all the stones had fallen over. And was thinking don’t drink the water, relieved you didn’t Vicki.
You are in lieu of what?
Did she really say 'Vicki explores the loo brush'? 😉
The well. Ha ha ha
