Vicki, you and Rebecca play so well together! More, please!
Never say that out of context please
That sounds way too wrong
I have only just discovered All the Stations and I have to say I am addicted to your videos! Fascinating to see your rail journeys across the UK, keep it up!!!
Me too. I am asian
Loved the video Vicki, a complete pleasure filming with you, thanks for having me along. 😁📽️✅
Great video guys! We surely now need an official Geoff/Paul collab then Geoff/Rebecca collab then Vicki/Paul collab! All the combinations of All The Stations/Whitewick Abandoned Railways!
Thank you both so much for your presentation. I am accustomed to you Vicki with your London travels from years back, whilst Rebecca is usually to be found squeezing through disused tunnels. Best wishes to you both, please stay safe, & yes, more please.
Vicki smiles bring you back every time and with Rebecca just adds more adventures, tell us about the Stanta run.
Hat level 2! I love it when you guys are down my neck of the woods. Nice to see you two doing a video together, nice cross over.
Fabulous team work ladies more please xxxccc
My wife and I moved to Winchester from Scotland towards the end of last year. I’m from Hampshire originally so it’s great to be back. This Viaduct Trail looks like a great thing to do when the weather improves! Hope you enjoyed visiting this lovely little city :)
this channel deserves a million subs. so interesting and professionally done! keep up the great work!!
Enjoyed. Thank you to both.
More Rebecca and Vicki please 😀
Vicky Explores is the best. Thank you
Love this.. all who wander aren't lost...though Vicki might be at times.. this is fab!
Absolutely wonderful to see both of you ladies together having fun and sharing your knowledge. Please keep it up. From my house ( inside ) to yours thank you so much.
More collaborations, please! This was lots of comic interplay in a variety of interesting places, and makes for great viewing!
Charming ladies: do more Winchester, please!
I worked in Winchester for 8 years (at the Screen cinema, now Everyman) and had never heard of the Viaduct Way. So thank you Vicki, and Rebecca for showing that. Looks like a great little walk.
I love this collaboration!
Brilliant video! Winchester is a lovely city, thank you for showing us around!
What perfect timing, I am coming to London next week and on an open day this looks like the perfect day away!!!! It has everything I like, historic buildings, nature walking, lovely.
Splendid video.
It's a funny thing; I walked part of the South Downs Way out of Winchester in September and didn't notice reference on the signs to the Viaduct Way.
It just goes to show that sometimes unless you're looking for something, you just don't see it.
Vicki AND Rebecca together - the perfect combination! More please!
Awesome !!! From Cardiff to Portsmouth we use the by pass all the time ... And always stop at Sutton scottney... I always tell my family about the old railway
Fantastic video.
Thank you
Best. Crossover. Ever.
Thanks for the nice postcard.
Vicki I'm a newcomer to your channel, your vlogs are keeping me going! I hope I will be able to produce content like this one day. You should be on TV with Geoff!
I wandered through the ruins of Wolvesey Castle when I was in Winchester last June. It was great as there was NO ONE else there the entire time. I guess it is not a major attraction like the Cathedral, Great Hall, and school. One of the things to look for in the cathedral is the medieval floor tiles which still exist.
Loved it, Can we have more with you two in it please.
It was great seeing Vicki teaming up with Rebecca, it got me thinking did Geoff and Paul take responsibility for videoing our two delightful hosts
Love that expression. “I find myself “
Winchester is nice, Wolvesey Castle looks cool. Her channel is awesome
Excellent...! Always liked Winchester...
Vicki you are awesome love this
This is real history top drawer👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Love the history. Thanks!
Interesting fun video. You missed visiting the southern tunnel mouth at the site of Chesil station.
Wonderful video. Thanks for the history lesson. 👍🙂
These two are just TOO GOOD to be television presenters. You get fact and things of interest, and not loads of pointless dramatic waffle.
A brilliant twofer!You work well together, you should do more like this.
Really interesting Vicki. One of the places I want to visit. Thanks for posting this!
Winchester is lovely!!! I feel proud to call it the city of my birth! Loved your Bristol one last time as I'm living there for uni, but Hampshire is my home!
Also the old railway used to come through my hometown where there is still some old bridges and evidence of where it used to be which I think is pretty cool
Fun, thanks, peace!
I love All The Every Disused Station Stations.
Super video, 2,well informed presenters. another one please
Hugely enjoyable! Come back again and do a tour round the College (believed to be the oldest continuously running school in England) and go to the Royal Oak pub, reputedly the oldest pub in England!
More power to your Eldow girls👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video but when you show a plaque could you possibly keep it on screen long enough for it to be read?
I am subbed to both-- what a surprise.
Enjoyable.
A great video by youtubes best 2 lady presenters 😁
You missed out the tunnel portal at the old Chesil station (where the multistory car park exists). This is still used by the council for storage.
Aiming to take the tour this Spring and make a little video of it... 👍
@@pwhitewick Have you got that "little video of it?!! I can't recall seeing it on your page? Or am I blind from looking?!!
Thanks for a wonderful video and for introducing me to the Whitewick videos. Agree that you should do a series of joint explorations - perhaps to Salisbury as a starter. Always pleased to welcome visitors to Wessex! #proudHampshireHog
I bet it was bit cold in Winchester. But it is such a nice city with lots of history. Nice video.
Happy New Year Vicki!!!
Is that how the Santa run works - he is in the front, like a fox.... LOL!
Nice walking route!
Gosh, you got this one out quickly!
Great video very interesting
You and Rebecca should do the explore with a glass of wine,, although the video may not get finished,and show devolve into outtakes,, that would be good too. : D
While in Winchester, visit the house where Jane Austen died and visit the Cathedral where she's buried.
Yeah a little disappointed, so little explores more disused railway.
as a child of the 60's:
Winchester Cathedral
You're bringing me down
You stood and you watched as
My baby left town
Nice video as always, but Vicki made a mistake at 3:02 when she called Winchester a town, it is in fact a city.
On the subject of King Alfred the Great, he was born in Wantage, and there's an abandoned railway there (the Wantage Tramway) and, of course, some abandoned railway stations to match including Wantage Railway Station, Grove Hill Halt, Oxford Lane Halt and the abandoned junction station on the mainline, Wantage Road station. To add to the excitement, it crosses and abandoned canal (the Wilts and Berks).
A delightful old Pathe newsreel on the subject.
www.wantage.com/the-wantage-tramway/
I'm not sure what's still left, but one to add to the the list...
First time visit to ATS from whitewicks AR channel ,it's great so i'm subbing.
Can you go to King’s Lynn for one episode? There’s some abandoned rail track plus the nearby Wolferton Station which was used by the Royal Family for their Christmas holiday at Sandringham.
Gotta watch out for them ramps!
Two of my favourite ladies on You Tube, and in the same video. What more could a man desire...
I've walked the accessible bits of the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway (DNS). Winchester Chesil (corruption of Cheesehill) station was where Chesil Street car park is now goo.gl/maps/zG2FVPBUtMysen6u6, in a cutting between the street and St Giles Hill. You can also walk on a section north of Chesil, near where the disused DNS/GWR line crossed the present Southern Railway line at Kings Worthy.
I prefer to think a Santa Run is more like the Running of the Bulls, where a giant pack of enraged Santas is unleashed in the streets of the town, and drunken tourists try to prove their manhood by running in front of them (and often getting gored and/or trampled).
My girlfriend's father treated me to a detailed history personal tour of Winchester Cathedral when I was 19. At one tomb he pointed out a stone bird that signified that life was fleeting. My son graduated there a couple of years ago. I'm now 67. Where has the time gone? Where has my girlfriend gone? Chilling.
Pensacola, Florida love the vids so interesting
I have some confessions to make Vicki ..
Even tho I have changed trains at Winchester quite a bit in the last 2 years either to get to Eastleigh or from Eastleigh..
I have never looked / seen the sign on Winchester Station with regards it’s history or explored outside the station ..
Oh and groan what a failure I am 😉
Very interesting video!
Not the disused railway I was thinking of- I thought you'd be looking at the route that went east to join what is now the Watercress Line at Alresford
The local bus company was NAMED after King Alfred - sadly, it got merged into National Bus Company Hants & Dorset in the early 70's.
locals call it 'pants and corset'
Love the new video
I use train fairly regularly, almost as much as I drive, but another price Increase is putting me off trains in the U.K
Don't forget your aa or race renewal. Road tax. Mot. Maintenence. Car tyres etc. Car insurance. And one day car renewal. And fuel prices.enjoy.
@@ernestparker3648 Indeed, but if you're *already* paying for those, it makes the prospect of using the railway less attractive.
Dream Clean exactly
You should get geoff and andy to the santa run. Geoff does Parkruns, Andy does parksits
Wonderful video Ladies. I meant the video was wonderful, not that you are wonderful video ladies. Although you are that too. So I guess i shall backtrack and repeat my original comment! Wonderful video Ladies.
hey vicki i noticed that you are video tape yourself instead of filming the new guest
How do I enter the competition to Winchester?
Shame you didn't head up to the Great Hall, and visited the man on the horse (if not too easily offended), and the Hampshire Hog outside the council offices.
💗💗
For those of us of a certain age, the Winchester will always be the non-Windows alternate operating system of RM Computers and as such to me the word "winchester" sounds more like a mechanical device, tool or machine than a town/city. "Ere lad, pass me the winchester"
It is the name of a mechanical device. Winchester repeating rifles have been manufactured in the US for over 150 years.
@@hanskniezand2049 It's also the name of a make of hard disk used by early IBM mainframe computers. Apparently the name is derived from the Winchester rifle which had a 0.3030" barrel; the Winchester disk was originally going to have two 30 MB (yes, megabyte, not gigabyte) platters.
Vicki; your logo is missing...a castle... ( Hogwarts maybe )
But surely an omission.??
One thing: no "oh fodey-oh-doe"

shame thef'wersarewonderfulinsummer
Vicky plsss can I have a shoutout plsss you and Jeff are the best plsss can I have a shoutout in the next video plsss thanks by
That is just the best ever Vicki Explores and with the lovely Rebecca absolutely superb.
Ah yay, two of my absolute favourite UA-cam presenters. You two definitely need to collaborate regularly... maybe a dedicated Rebecca and Vicki channel. Whose keen on that???
I’m in
A Santa Run is like running with the bulls in Pamplona. You have to stay ahead of the Santas or you get put on the naughty list.
Portchester Castle is just down the line from Winchester. With history stretching back to the 3rd century and roman times it’s well worth a visit!
Great double-act! Let's have more Vicki + Rebecca. Winchester is one of my favourite cities. I got married there, in the historic Pilgrims' Hall, in 1970 and my wife and I spent many happy hours and days in and around Winchester, when we were staying with her parents, both of whom are buried in Magdalen Hill Cemetery, which is on a hill overlooking Winchester.
Great collaboration! That viaduct looks spectacular, love the old semaphore signal still in place!
Great video, I spend a lot of time in Winchester when I'm not volunteering on the Mid Hants Railway near by, I live about half an hours journeys from Winchester so go quite regularly and am fascinated by the DNS. Great video again
Do more videos together!!!
Is there anyone who lives in that area that could perhaps tell me..............if you take the train from London to Southampton about halfway through the journey the train line passes what seems to be a very large castle on a hillside. It is on the right hand side of the train if you heading towards Southampton. I would really like to know where it is as I would like to visit. I thought maybe it was Winchester area but looking at where Vicki visited it doesn't seem like it.
Possibly Arundel Castle? You can definitely see it if you take the southern service from London Victoria to Southampton
@@lollybeany1 Yes that's it!!! Thanks so much. It looks amazing! Like something out of a Disney movie! I am definitely going to visit it! I see they only open again for visits on 1 April but the gardens should also be amazing then. Thanks very much. :)
Whose idea was it to team up with Rebecca? It worked just as well as I expected!
This has bin a wee while coming but so anticipated. Love the link up, don't over do it but please more in summer. All the best to u all. Who needs boys eh!! (apart from u 2)
