    Every bit as good as Michael Portillos BBC series with a lot more enthusiasm to boot. The gang at the station house were naturals and I have now placed this on my bucket list, along with marrying Sandra Bullock. Brilliant job guys! 👍🏻

    This one is a keeper, mate. It's a great behind-the-scenes look at the "back of the house" of a small British restaurant with unique delivery and service challenges.
    And keeping the staff happy and sane while living and working in such close proximity in the middle of nowhere. (Shona was cute, too, but I digress.) I can see a BBC reality show in the making...
    Well done, Jeff and Vicki. I felt like I was back in the restaurant industry, and thoroughly enjoyed your storytelling.

    I was actually here not that long after you guys filmed this. The wonderful staff were so kind to share that I had missed you guys by like a week. :') I've been eagerly awaiting to see this one go live because of that.
    I also got the rare chance to drive into the station since the line had been shutdown for repairs but the Corrour Estate had opened the access road to visitors staying in the Signal Box because of the extended shutdown so that the Station House could still get a few visitors. The view driving in is still one of the most breathtaking (and harrowing) drives I've ever done. And despite it raining all 3 days I was there, the entire trip was an absolute delight. The staff at the Station House are absolutely lovely and it was so absolutely serene and calming to relax in the Signal Box with a nice pint of cider and take in the views while listening to the rain and wind roll through the Highlands. Well worth flying to the UK and then having to rent a car and drive up from Glasgow. I truly hope I can return soon for another wonder stay (and take the train to visit this time)!

    One of the most enjoyable videos you two have ever made, and I have watched ALL of them, some multiple times! What shines through is your obvious affection for the place and how much it means to you both. I am so glad you gave me a chance to see Corrour and the team there, it is out of reach for me to visit, but you have both brought it alive for me.
    I only hope that this video gets the views and widespread admiration it deserves. Thank you so much, Geoff and Vicki, I'm off to Amazon now to order your two new books, to add to the Railway Adventures book in my library!
    P.S. Sowerby Bridge Station has the fantabulous "Jubilee Refreshment Rooms", a train fan's dream, railway memorabilia, trains to spot, real ale to drink and the finest bacon butties to eat. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

      That and more. What Geoff knows how to do is to capture breathtaking visual images, add commentary that's moving because it's somehow both down-to-earth and spiritual at the same time, and accent the whole thing with delicate applications of appropriate music (here, the brilliant Steven Francis theme which Geoff commissioned especially for this project.) The result is pure poetry on the screen. Geoff knows how to do this. And he DOES it. And he keeps on doing it. For himself and for all of us. Lucky, lucky us!
