Thanks to Russ for sending me the pro board to make this video.. and remember, watch to the very end!
Feckin funny when the display came on with ‘Cancelled’ 😂
What was more funny is that there was also a prospective passenger there, who found out it was cancelled through the board! (He didn't want to be in the video)
Thanks Jen for another great video, nice to see Josie and Glovestrains helping out!
Jen: sets up a weird PIS contraption by her own idea and will
Also Jen: gets interrupted by her own creation
Disappointed that nobody noticed that we typed an email into a spreadsheet and thus completely missed the reference 😂😂
What was the reference??
@@funnygallie7863Spoiler for the joke
There's a Kelly Rowland song that has a music video with Kelly sending a SMS in Excel on a PDA, searching "kelly rowland spreadsheet" should bring it up
I like a classic meme (for other people's reference it's to do with 2002 music video for “Dilemma.”)
btw whats the name of the station announcer at denton?
I don't think, we have a once a week stop in Germany. But this was truly amazing. And the comedy added by Northern was true gold.
We do have high speed train stations which are serviced once or twice a day (where nobody ever leaves the train). But there is still regular traffic when they are not coming. So it is not totally dead.
We also have station announcement boards (e.g. in Offenbach near the real Frankfurt) where you can see the next train which will leave in 22 hours from this platform and is only available with a valid historic train ticket. The same is with the busses which stop at friday evening and resume on saturday morning. Then it has something like "Next bus:10 minutes, next bus after that: 622 minutes"
those once a week stops are called Parliamentary trains, basically, it's a very hard parliamentary process to abolish a station (and a railway line), but railway companies can reduce service to 'unwanted' stations to virtually unusabe. Some are used for maintaining route knowledge for the drivers in case of diversions, some of those service are somewhat useful, running Mo-Sa, for instance, others... not so much.
A similar thing happened to me the first time I went to travel the Stockport to Stalybridge. It was cancelled.
Anyway I did Heysham Port that day and returned to Do Stalybridge to Stockport earlier this year. To complete Northern's north West Parliamentaries, I did Helsby to Ellesmere Port in March and yippee can do Clitheroe to Hellifield next month!
I still need to get round to buying my own Departure Board- it’s a brilliant rail enthusiast gadget that everyone needs! Absolutely love the video idea, great delivery as always and a fantastic intro 💯
Thankyou!
Sweeee, that kitty sketch on the wall at 30 sec is really cute. I love seeing you having fun like this.
Someone said we should get some art for the walls... so I got art for the walls 🤣
Really interesting, and that's started me looking at the various APIs available - really cool project!
Absolutely loved this - but did wonder if you were going to put your knickers on your head 😜
I definitely want to get one of these departure boards - I’m just wondering how much sighing there will be from my wife if i do 😜
My partner is very much on board!
@@JenOnTheMove - is that in relation to the knickers on your head or the departure board? 😜
Great fun all round. I remember staying at the Premier Inn in Denton and looking up the trains. In those days there was one, in one direction. Glad to see there are more now. Great to see G as well. Love these boards, shame they are a bit out of my price range - at the moment.
Bus superiority at the end 😜
After watching this video, makes me want to get one of them, definably perfect for railway fans like me.
They're definitely fun little gadgets!
The cancellations just made it better 😅 great video as always!
You are right, so silly but fun. Just found you so may stick around a while, see what rlse you get upto 🤣👍👍👍
Welcome! 😊
Thankyou!
i now want one for Blackpool north to remind me how many trains are cancelled
Love this video 😀
I have the tiny desktop version i love it.
Nice video Jen! I have a board and I love it. Always handy to check to see if the train I’m working is running before I leave the house hahaha.
Lovely video.
You should do this for the whole Blackpool tram network
This video made my day! 😁
Jen: carries own departure board Departure board: interrupts jen
“What do you do in Denton for a week?” !!
Great video. I’m in Manchester for a few days doing station ticking but sadly have had to miss out Denton as I’m not around for a Saturday. Next time…
What do you Denton for a week? That line made me lol.
lol absolutely loved this jen dropped a sub!
Thankyou!
@1:52 BR symbol on the footpath sign is the wrong way around. Unless that's actually the port side of a Sealink ferry...
Have you not noticed the "Trains Towards" notices are on the wrong platforms...?
We did have a laugh about it!
i remember seeing someone do this at a station on southern (i forgot which ine) but with lasers on a wall, which was interesting
Nice kitchen, Jen.
I wonder… if you stuck it on a pole with one of the signs and left it running, how long would it take before anybody noticed?
(presumably you'd have to find wifi from some local business or attach a dongle to it so it doesn't need your phone; attach a solar panel or something for power… but I'm sure it should be possible)
I want that board.............
It would be so cool to crowdfund the metal and glass pole and mounting to permanently install this at Denton, with a solar power supply.....
That look cool then tv scream
Does South Reddish still have one train a week?
Thats where G is 😂😂😂
best max fosh but not max fosh but geof marshal but not geof marshal video ever loll
super cool! also how did you get the announcement? did u get it for free or did u pay for it?
MEEOOOW!
It's cute that that bloke in Bristol makes those boards, but I wonder why anyone would want one and where it would be useful for them.
A lot of people out there do have them - ours will definitely come in useful for the commutes!
A fair few businesses near stations are also buying them
@@JenOnTheMove also makes for amazing nerdy decor!
Hi jen ☺️ 😊
Hi!
@@JenOnTheMove how is life
So a dude makes DSA+ in his garage?
no a woman :)
G it, Jen it, Josied. 🚆😀
Thus is an amazing idea! 😍😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😍 Wouldn't it be hilarious if a ton of people go to all the stations without departure boards and do this ALL ON THE SAME DAY!
My little house panther was so happy seeing your little house panther.
😀Both of our boys were in it, but most people won't be able to tell the difference! The girls were a bit camera shy!
Jen and her big mouth - great idea and action - very well done on the idea - but we need a bigger departure board where the whole station is listed and linked to all the announcements
Love the video Jen, it great to see Denton getting a upgrade and it great to see 'another UA-camr' as well with a cameo appearance. Do always want one of those Departure Boards lol
When you have to take station upgrades into your own hands!
@@JenOnTheMove and bus stop 🤣
@@Sim0nTrainsWell we can't rely on TfGM to do it!
Great video Jen, but you do realise you're now expected to do a shift at Denton every Saturday from now on?
Oh noooo! 😭
@@JenOnTheMove Im not coming. And no, you can't borrow my car
@@Squareybee The 201 it is then!
There has to now be a bus stop departure board challenge to do the most remote stop in the UK which I am guessing might be somewhere in the Hebredies or Shetland. It will probably involve getting wet and bitten by midges and no costa, but it will also mean an epic journey to get there. Let the challenge begin!
New goal : carry departure board to every station 😂
Brilliant video Jen, nice to see Denton get an upgrade even if it means getting interrupted by announcements there lol.
Brilliant video Jen!
Good to see Josie and another youtuber, not forgetting your glamorous assistant and cat's!
Thankyou!
@@JenOnTheMove more cat vids please
That was brilliant. Great idea and hilarious execution. (“What do you do in Denton for a week?”)
Great video as usual Jen! I always knew you were daft and silly, thanks for confirming 😁
I try my best 😀
Oh Jen if I knew you were going to be at Denton (it's my closest station, that or Hyde Central) I would have popped along ... And brought the Costa
I was confused, I immediately thought Teesside Airport and then I remembered Denton was the 'true' least used station. Hope to meet you, Stuart, Geoff, possibly Fiona Hyslop, Alex Hynes and others at Leven station on Sunday morning. I will getting the 09.21 service from Haymarket.
Can’t wait for the 2nd of June!!
And the "Double Arrow" is BTF too....
i really enjoyed watching this & what a brilliant upgrade for Denton brilliant video
Brilliant invention. All the train operators should put Russ in charge of upgrading their station departure screens
So typical that that the once a week Stalybridge to Stockport service went melons up (to quote G's terminology) the first time you tried it out
.. and a quick cameo from the " squishy babies" lady...
Loved seeing your cat ‘helping’. 😸😻
Also great to see other UA-camrs!
Jen: The internet is for fun ideas
Jen’s cat: No, the internet is for cat videos!!!
Good idea 👍👍👍
Great video!
Insanely, I now "need" to fit one of these to the heritage railway station I manage. Mind you, I'd need to have a train service to announce first!
Jen you are literally a real delight and very naturally funny. Loved this video :) edited comment. I can see you have put a link up to the board. Might get one for my trip to scotland
They also do smaller ones which may be more appropriate for travelling!
Hi jen great video. You need those displays at Godley, the only station on the hadfield line with no live info displays, just a printed timetable! Im into costa too and theres one in crown point shopping centre about half a mile from the station (free parking). Love the cats!
Amazing video as always!
Literally stayed overnight in Stockport to ride this line only on Saturday morning. Was so relieved it actually ran but nearly missed it as I overslept lol. Pretty funny in the video when the board showed the train as cancelled, really dedicated to go back a week later! Didn't know the departure boards did buses as well. Also Stockport to Stalybridge is quite a waste of infrastructure, think Manchester could really do with some circular rail or tram routes, it would make it easier to get around, used the 330 bus from Ashton under Lyne to Stockport and it was so busy!
Loved this video it was natural and funny!
Shoulda done bordesely e
BR arrow backwards on the Denton sign at 1:56?
Do Piling lol
Very cool. He should market them to bars and restaurants near train stations.
he?
@@nythrak - the guy who makes them in Bristol
There's one in one of the pubs near Oxford Road station now
@@JenOnTheMove @mrgreatplum - where can you get them?
Love it girl XXX
@JenOnTheMove was this the classic or pro board?
This was the pro :)
Hi Jen, that was brilliant, but how does the railway feel about these departure boards that are being bought by commuters and the like?
Isn't it a sort of "hack"?
Nothing wrong with them at all 🙂
@@JenOnTheMove Hi Jen, that's great to know then, I may get myself one...or I could mention it to Great Eastern Models, our favourite model shop in Norwich...
By the way, when are you coming onto my railway area please, to my knowledge you haven't been here yet...? 🙂
Cats and you busy with a computer, not paying enough attention 😂. Our cat always occupies the keyboard in those cases.
Really loving this video format
I don't have the energy levels to pull something like this off every week, but definitely going to try to mix things up a bit!
Great video Jen 😊
you parked near where I had a sort of lock-up/cheap storage. Not dodgy at all. you wait in 20 years time it will all be those manchester towers apartment blocks and look like everywhere else.
I have the large Gen 3 board they are cool. I'm not fussed on the audio announcements they're great but you just know after a while it will get on your nerves lol
Jen is a black cat mum!
I knew she was awesome but I did not realise she was that awesome.
1 train a day? I'm sure it used to have 1 train a week on a Friday only😂
Isn't Reddish North the same? One train per week.
I want that large LED train information display in my bedroom. Was it heavy to carry it around. Plus I think that Northern should increase more extra services for Northwest England and Northeast England.
No, it's really light! I was suprised!
Dovey junction is the least used
OH the cat's the stat of the show
Can’t wait for the Levenmouth rail link opening day- see you all there :))
Ah brilliant!
Love love love this.
Hilarious yet still taps into my inner nerd.
Thanks Jen 😊
Great idea very funny
Russ sends you a perfectly good board and you have to go put a dent in it! (or vice versa)
More chaos than usual and that's saying something 😂
Well this video brought me utter joy!
Fascinating! Thanks Jen
This was hilarious!
Great video if you don’t mind me asking Jen what feed are you using please to get the formation information
This was the default NRE feed. I understand not all operators have formation info in it though
Why do I think of David Jason or Richard O'Brien when I hear "Denton"? :D
Denton CID!
Your a talented youtuber
Thank you!
