Became an Engine Driver for the day a few years ago. Brilliant day out thanks to the two instructors and my daughter who bought the ticket for my 70th. Great video thanks Jenny and Bob.
Hi Bob, jenny, poppy & Tara, what a lovely trip on the watercress line, looked very relaxing, hope you are both having a lovely time, lots of love, Linda xx
Hi Bob and Jenny and pups, what a lovely name for a railway line, it looked a very relaxing trip, even though it was a scorching day, really enjoyed your video x
The old trains are great. I also love seeing the old stations. They are pleasing to the eye and have so much more character compared to the modern ones of today. Very nice video. Thank you.
Great job with the videography, as usual... You've got a steady hand. Love the countryside views. Looks like a peaceful and enjoyable time. Thanks Bob!
You should have got out at Ropley to see all the engines and coaches being repaired and put back into service. Alresford town is also a little gem for future reference.
Arlesford is a pretty village, I've often heard the whistle of steam trains from the watercress line whilst fly fishing. Enjoyed the vlog Bob & Jenny particularly the beautiful Hampshire countryside!
Hi I live in Hampshire and was interested in your video on the Watercress Line. Entertaining as always. As you say perhaps people prefer something different. Thanks.
We have enjoyed this vlog. Have you considered going too Chinnor-princes Risborough railway and Quainton railway museum. They are both doable in a weekend from a CL in Thame Oxfordshire?? Great days out. Xx
Was disappointed after seeing the title of the video that you were not both drunk on a train causing mischief 😜😂😂 but was a great informative video and looks a great day out.
What a cracking video Bob, and I’m not really that interested in the railways. I think it’s your interest that must spark mine off. Thank you for all your and Jens efforts mate, I’ve just started to edit some holiday videos and am realising just how daunting it can be. 🙌☕️👍 Ps did they put the bunting out for your visit😃👌
Like the fact that the garden railing at 06:18 is partly made with bullhead rail.One of the best bits was the speeded-up barking when you had to wait for the trucks to pass near the beginning - was that you two, or was it the dogs? And did you find the mouse in the Terence Cuneo painting of Clapham Junction (he always put one in)?
Ah, watercress soup - very nutritious! You can still buy the locally grown stuff at a number of shops near Alresford, even though the 'Watercress Line' ceased shifting it up to London a long time ago. I pop in to the station from time to time to see what's happening, as we live in Hampshire. Cheltenham is a lovely engine but strangely the town was always Great Western territory, not Southern Region.
I needed to know why they don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 37 Octagon and Every 17 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 142MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 142MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 17 Tonnes for all of those 142MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!!! And please do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please?

I think our Union flag should be seen a lot more, than just for a jubilee. Every civic building should fly the flag, and be replaced annually to upkeep the prestige.🇬🇧
Very enjoyable video thanks 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks a lovely day out, you enjoyed wonderful weather 🌞
Great vlog, brought back many memories. I lived in Alresford and as a child I used to go on the train to Winchester,
Really enjoyed that thanks both for taking us on this trip with you. Loved the music too. 😁👍

Wonderful journey, thank you so much, Jenny & Bob, our favourite motorhome couple! 🤗

Blimey haven't had watercress sandwiches for years!
@@BobEarnshawMoHo Yes, true for us also. Somewhere I have cress seeds for sprouting, will try them. 😁🌿🥪
Great job with the videography, as usual... You've got a steady hand. Love the countryside views. Looks like a peaceful and enjoyable time. Thanks Bob!

Lovely video and such beautiful scenery, thank you.
Love those old train stations 👍👍
I do too
Beautiful countryside and engine !!!!
Many thanks!
Love steam trains, but wouldn't want to be shovelling coal in the hot weather. Thanks for sharing👍Mark & Coral
It would be a trifle warm!
You should have got out at Ropley to see all the engines and coaches being repaired and put back into service. Alresford town is also a little gem for future reference.
it was just too hot! Perhaps next time.
Great video as always love your train journeys .🚂Poppy and Tara enjoy there trips 🐾👍

As you say perhaps people prefer something different. Thanks.
Just love that line, last time we went, spent all day, getting off at each station, such a beautiful area. Thank you and the dogs. Take care.
Great video as always . I do love a steam train x
We have enjoyed this vlog.
Have you considered going too Chinnor-princes Risborough railway and Quainton railway museum. They are both doable in a weekend from a CL in Thame Oxfordshire?? Great days out. Xx
A couple we could add to the list! Thanks.
Lovely
Thanks for great video, really interesting, loved the train trip 👍

Yes, the word also has a different meaning up north.
