Through the Chiltern Hills (Aylesbury VP-Marylebone / P. Risborough-Aylesbury) - DRIVER'S EYE VIEW
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 чер 2024
- The first driver's eye view video of 2024, Through the Chiltern Hills will take us over Chiltern Railways second main route from Aylesbury Vale Parkway to London Marylebone, half of that route will then take on Metropolitan tracks between Amersham and Harrow-on-the-Hill.
We then get the delights of travelling over the single line from Princes Risborough to Aylesbury, a route which was opened by the Wycombe Railway in 1863. Filmed in the winter of December 2023, it was quite wet in some parts so there are water marks on the train cabs windows but only for a short time.
Narration is included of the route talking about the history of the former Great Central and Metropolitan Joint Railway, in addition to other intresting facts along the way. Your support for this channel is always appreciated, so please continue to like, comment, subscribe and even share this video and stay tuned for more driver's eye views coming soon. Thanks to all the Chiltern Railways staff who helped with this production. Without further or do, sit back relax and enjoy this driver's eye view Through the Chiltern Hills.

these cabrides with commentary are great! I hope we see more of them in the future.
The out of cab shots to compliment this video along with the commentary is top notch.
That was a pleasant trip down memory lane, as a secondman and later as a young driver at OOC, we worked the early morning parcels and paper train from Paddington usually consisting of 5 vans hauled by a class 31. Semaphore signalling was 'de riguer' in those days including collection of the token between Princec Risborough and Aylesbury. Thanks for sharing.
Good to see so many of the station buildings haven't been replaced with bus shelters.
I am a railway fan. This program is 100% professional work!
Another great video from Paul and the Team Thank you. Enjoyed the Branch Line at the end.
Another little masterpiece! Beautifully made video, love the info and the line side footage. So much work must have gone into this! Thank you.
Brilliant and informative as per usual, despite the gloomy weather
Epic work for the Aylesbury branch lines. Very informative about each station, the route and even running on the London Underground network :-)
Another excellent, entertaining and informative production. Loved hearing the jointed track from Princes Risborough
I used to live at little kimble about 10 years ago and was only a few miles from checkers and used to catch the train frequently from little kimble to aylesbury or princes risborough which as was explained in the video it was an hourly service in either direction which was a pain which there was a bus but at the time had to walk 20 minutes either to the station or the nearest bus stop but luckily the bus went passed our house which was much better fond memories
thank you 🎉brilliant paul from kent
Enjoyed your two videos,places I’ve heard of but never been.Kind regards🚂🚂
I do like your videos, informative, interesting and enjoyable and professionally produced. This is a corner of the country that I have never visited so its all new to me, must get down there sometime I think I'm missing out!
Great, very informative video, thanks!
Fantastic work!
Love seeing the familiar London parts of the line from a new unusual angle 🙂
Great work as usual Paul, we've missed you. Hopefully more in the pipeline, perhaps some more London Underground or maybe even some Southern / Southeastern routes.
Anyone here for the Marylebone 125 years celebration? I'm at Baker Street waiting for the HST special to Banbury so I can walk to marylebone to catch the special train 😊
Another excellent video - so informative
Superb and informative as always.Thank you Paul and all involved.
Well produced video - thanks
Well made .
Great Cab Ride on a 165 by the way .
this is my first drivers video i have watched i and loved every minute of it great job on filming the drivers dev be i be looking forward to seeing more drivers devs this year 😀
Back in Great Central and LNER days most of the express trains from the north would not have used this route. They would have taken the alternative route at Grendon Underwood Junction, near Calvert and, at Ashendon Junction, joined what is now known as the Chiltern Mainline but was known then as the Great Western and Great Central Joint line, passing through Gerrard's Cross and High Wycombe and taking the current route of the Chiltern Mainline to Marylebone, via South Ruislip, Wembley and Neasden, where the route rejoins the line featured in this video.
I've seen from main Aylesbury station but not the new one, as other said, branch line a bonus
I've driven the video from Amersham to Aldgate. It's good to get a slightly different perspective. 😁
Lived in Aylesbury 1987-1998 but never ever used the train :(
You forgot to mention Aylesbury is the birthplace of the fantastically brilliant prog rock band Marillion.
Why dont those diesel trains have a pickup so it can use the electric south of amersham to reduce pollution?
Children Railway Class 165
Chiltern trains are a complete rip off. Ridiculously high ticket prices.
Same as everywhere else
Honestly, I didn't find them too bad. £38 return from London
(Northolf Park) to Stratford is quite good when the other route I take for a similar journey time (London to Weymouth) is £67 return.
There are no ticket inspectors. So who said you need to buy a ticket
Disappointing visual quality - too much of the screen captured, driving into the light. Shame, it's a great route, well described.
Personally, I prefer the wide view enabling sight of the surrounding scenery and infrastructure. I find it much more informative.
