Loved this. I was a Shoreham by sea Guide in the 1950's and we used to have weekend camps at Bramber in the land behind the station.. The large house was where the district commissioner lived and it was her land .We used to play in the castle moat and visit Pottters' museum. Great memories
Great memories @dianeruff, what a wonderful place to visit as a child. Or adult even! We loved filming in Bramber! Lou, Producer.
This is really very good. You deserve a Channel 4 history series! You remind me of the Hull History Nerd, another truly excellent UA-cam channel. You even wear similar waste coats! Keep up the good work. This history has to be remembered. Thank you! John
Thank you, John! I'll have to check him out, too. And waist coats are cool!!! 😂
This is fantastic. I’ve ridden the Downs Link and never get bored of being out in the country imagining being aboard a steam train! I love the attention to detail and superimposing the tracks etc so we can see clearly where the railway and the buildings were. Can’t wait for the next episode, this is better than any railway mainstream programme on tv. Congratulations 🥳
That's very kind of you, Tony. Thanks for your lovely comments.
Please subscribe so you will get notified when the next episode is ready!
Mountain bike around here a lot , fascinating series.
Another great episode and insight into our Railway past. I can't wait for the next episode, having witnessed the demise of our railway network in the 1960's. My elder brother was a Fireman on Britannia Class locomotives out of Liverpool Street. My Saturdays were spent train spotting on Liverpool St. and Kings Cross stations. Never without the obligatory Ian Allan Engine Listing Book! Our local line between Gt. Yarmouth and Lowestoft is another example of our lost heritage. So many lines lost throughout Britain and so sadly missed.
I'm on downslink regularly, allways nosing around the bushes at the edge of the path looking for signs of the old railway and platforms. You can bet I'll be using this series to find every "boring" fencepost you point out along the way.
I really appreciate the depth you go into and cannot wait for episode 3.
There are hundreds of them, once you start seeing them, you will spot them easily ;)
This brilliantly shows how railway is much more than just a collection of rails. I doubt roads will be seen the same way in the future
Loving this series!
Thank you so much! We are delighted that you like it. Please subscribe to our channel.
Another outstanding episode. The episodes are so well paced, with each insert well timed to hold your attention instead of distracting you. The then-and-now layovers of old photos onto new footage are immaculate and draw you in so well.
Worthy of a classic regional TV early-evening slot.
I love the sense of fun too, like the occasional carefully chosen sound effect (vworp vworp) or wry caption. Just the right amount to be amusing but not silly!
Wow, lovely praise, thank you and also constructive. We often wonder if the humor is too little or too much. Thank you so much for watching it and taking the time to write such a nice comment. - Chris
Two episodes in, and this has to be the most thorough and well produced historical record of the old Steyning line. Seriously can't wait for the next episode now, thank you so much Stephen, Mike and everyone for bringing this subject to life in the best way possible 🙂
Thankyou very much for your lovely comment @AndyCreepy27. We are so pleased you enjoyed it. onwards to Episode 3..........! Lou, Producer
Always good to see Prince Andrew and his love for kids.
Magical stuff, enjoyed every moment, this is Dumpman's new favourite.
and we love all the Dumpman films. Would highly recommend - especially if you like to see a variety of old railway lines explored!
Went on a school trip to the cement works when it was operating and can remember seeing wagons in the sidings .
How lucky and cool that must have been. Did you take any photo's at all? Thanks for commenting - Chris
wonderful love the way you told the story thank you so much from trev in west sussex
I find your documentary series astounding. I especially enjoy your use of projection of where the rails used to run as if they were still there giving a great visual. Keep up the good work.
Wow - high praise, thank you so much for watching and supporting us - glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely brilliant video. Here's to the next episode!
Thank you @terenceholloway1632, we're already out filming Episode Three! Lou, Producer
Remember us driving over the Shoreham toll bridge in 1957 whilst on holiday in Bramber. Sometimes we avoided it (and the toll) by going round the back lanes via Sompting (St Mary's).
A less known local route @batman51, we use that backroad all the time ourselves to avoid the road closures! Lou, Producer
@@loupartridge4803 But probably not in a 1937 Austin 10!
@@batman51 No, not that lucky but still a beautiful route in a Nissan Micra with the windows open!
Well i thought part 1 was great but this has surpassed even that. Having met Stephen and his crew at the missing bridge whilst cycling down from Henfield( even got a photo with him!) I have been waiting patiently for this and it certainly doesn't disappoint, Incredibly detailed ,I have learned so much so far.. Roll on part 3.
Thank you, David. It was lovely to meet you on location, and now you can see how that fitted in to the story.
Please find our Tracing the Rails Facebook page, and send us the photo!!
This is incredible u can feel the line comes alive again with your presentation look forward to the next eps !!
Thank you @MrMansun95, we are so pleased you enjoyed it! Lou
So interesting, particularly as I travelled this line several times as a young lad when we visited family who lived near Guildford. Looking forward to the next episode.
Thank you for your kind comments. 😊
Loved this. The most comprehensive video of an old railway I have ever seen! Love old railways, the research here is second to none. And the presentation is as good as it gets. Excellent production, well done all!
Thank you for your kind comments
What an excellent series. Looking forward to the next instalment.
Thank you very much. Filming for episode 3 is well underway !
I've really enjoyed watching this and I can't wait for the next episode.
Thank you!
Fantastic well worth the wait for second episode well done
I am glad you felt it was worth the wait - Chris
A great and well put together series. It was great to see Bob Howick in the first episode, he thinks he is famous now and expects us to want his autograph. 😂🤣
Bob is a legend!
@@stephencranford1102, Lovely man as well. 😃
Fascinating stuff once again; love the effects which really bring out where the tracks fit onto the current landscape. Was good to see footage of a Hastings buffet unit on a railtour. This was probably one of two "Sunny South Express" tours organised by the Lea Valley Railway Club in 1976 (1 May or 31 July) with unit 1034 which visited a series of Sussex and Kent freight lines including Beeding
So glad you enjoyed it. We love when we get footage that we can show like that because it really brings it all to life.
Where you were at St Botolph's by the Downslink intersection were two railway cottages, long demolished.
My mum lived with her parents at one of the cottages during WW2, her dad being a platelayer.
Mum used to walk up the line to go shopping at Bramber.
During WW2 grandad built an air raid shelter out of sleepers in the garden there.
Thank you for sharing your memories. We discovered that several old properties were demolished in Botolph's.
Another fascinating episode in this ongoing series.
Brilliant content, and wealth of information and finds, found along the route. Keep up the good work and research - can't wait for the next episode
You are very kind and we are glad you liked it - thank you for commenting
Wonderful, thank you.
We are very pleased you liked it, thanks for taking time to comment :)
Excellent production values. Well worth the wait. Thanks for the work you have all put in to this.
The team are very proud and thank you for your lovely comment.
An amazing well produced programme most enjoyable, thank you so much .and yes I have subscribed 😊
Thank you very much.
U & yesterday as has been previously mentioned in your comments should be biting your hand off to bring your production and standards to the main media, because if they don’t somebody else will.
Thank you. Please message them and suggest us!!
Remember my Father taking my brothers and i in the Sixties from Holmwood to Brighton via this line steam ftom Horsham
Hope it brought back some good memories? Glad you were able to watch - thank you.
A brilliant programme I enjoyed every minute sadly l don’t live near enough to visit. My main interest is the history of Edmondson tickets, l actually manufacture and print replica tickets almost to the original system used by Thomas Edmondson so any different colours or type faces used are of particular interest to me. Thanks again and look forward to episode 3!
Hello @normanbrown3384, thank you for your comment and we are so pleased you enjoyed it! The interview with Gerry at the Bluebell Railway on the Edmondson ticket printer was a very cut version of what we filmed - we are planning to release the full interview with him in one of our Sidings webisdoes so do watch out for that!
There was also a station further down called Bungalow town which re opened as Shoreham Airport
In episode 1, we featured bungalow Town. Take a look, there's a small segment about it. 😊 Thank you for watching!
Wow !! so much to like in this episode , those great clips of now and then, the ticket stories but most of all the beatiful way its crafted together with Stephens immaculate diction,lots to learn and some new things i have never seen before .Good to see that people and companies are happy to give you access i always wondered what the inside of the cement works was like ,finally Do you need a stunt double Stephen ? im standing by !!
Aw, thank you so much for your lovely comments. We have been so grateful to the companies who have given us access to their sites .
Thank you too for comments on my voice. That speech and drama training and over 20 years at the BBC has moulded my voice !
Another great episode, looking forward to the next one. But I hope that song thrush has a bit of a brake ...
Notes - will make sure the birdsong soundtrack is more varied ;) - Chris
@@tracingtherails We've broken the news to our song thrush that he's being replaced for Episode 3, Richard. He's looking at his options and considering a stint on Autumnwatch.
Fantastic and professional series thank you. I've been cycling the Downs Link for years and have always been interested in the history. Loads of information in these two episodes that I'd never seen before. Looking forward to the rest of the episodes and hoping that you might do a second series on the Guildford to Horsham line.
Thank you for watching, and for your kind comments
Really enjoyable and hugely informative thanks Stephen and all for undertaking this project. My family recently cycled this route and i was very keen to see the extent of the quarry railway.
Thanks very much for your lovely feedback, and for watching too, of course!
This is brilliant. Thanks Stephen. I'm really enjoying this.
Thank you @allananscombe1337!
I’m absolutely loving the series so far, it’s really interesting and you can tell you guys are really passionate about it, the only thing I would suggest is splitting these longer episodes into smaller 20-30 minute episodes, as then you can release more often. But that’s not even a complaint as much as it’s my opinion :) hope you guys are enjoying making it and I can’t wait for episode 3 😊
Thank you @bradleyfrost7059 we are so pleased you are enjoying it. We were originally aiming for 45 minute episodes but we had so many keen contributors, in spite of strict editing the episodes so far are more of a film length. We imagine people will watch them a bit at a time on You Tube when it suits them! We have had huge interest in Episode 3, the Steyning episode so have decided to make it a 2-parter!
There is bound to be one , yes the plane is from further on in the war (at least its German ) trains not planes is what this is about !!
Noted
g8 video an area i cycle along...
Hope it helps you too spot some things on the next cycle ride ;)
Where did you get the photo of St. Nicholas church from?
Hi, we don't have the editing equipment with us at this minute as we are all watching the premier, but we will check our sources over the next few days and get back to you if that is OK? - Chris
