Behind The Scenes At Corrour - Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лют 2020
- Corrour is one of our favourite places to travel to. In September 2019 we stayed for two days at the Station House to spend time with Shona and team that work there to see behind the scenes of the UK's remotest railway station (and of course to enjoy the trains too!).

Don’t often comment on UA-cam but have to make an exception here. What a warm, delightful and interesting video. What a lovely bunch running the station. A gem. Well done Vicky and Geoff.
Though I think you hear it frequently, I don't think this is being said enough: Vicki and Geoff, you are wonderful people!
correct
I think I will 2nd that comment. They Really Are.👍
I'll third it.
Fourth here!
Fifth here!!!
The drone footage of Corrour will never cease to amaze me!
Corrour, the station I adopted during All the Stations for helping out on Kickstarter. It’s a beautiful and remote station. It stands out. I love it
ha ha! knew you'd love it Avery! :-)
You have incredible taste, Avery. I also have fallen for this beautiful spot. It reminds me of some of the National Park lodges I've visited here in the States.
Why did the RR company open a station in such a desolate (but beautiful!) place?
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! 👍🏻
Russell Gray just read your comment,just burst out laughing, great stuff,
Funny that, Sandra and I are headed to Corrour for our honeymoon
Portillo's docs are fine but I watch them despite him. But Geoff and Vicky are a delight to watch and they really add something special to these films.
As Geoff said “cute dogs, thumbs up” you now have a like from me 😂
Not just any old dog but a Golden Retriever.
What a wonderful Sunday afternoon treat! Thank you Vicki and Geoff, i very much enjoyed seeing your great visit back to Corrour. And it is great to see more content being added to 'All The Stations', just fantastic.
Absolutely brilliant documentary by an exceptionally talented couple, many thanks for sharing.
I think this is my favourite thing you guys have ever done. Shona, Katie and Jo are so much fun and Steven has outdone himself with the music this time! More of this kind of thing please.
Nice to see someone giving credit to the brilliant Steven Francis, composer and arranger of the music for the entire All The Stations project. Tip o' the hat from a professional sound designer, Steven!
Vicki is a natural at voice overs. When does she complete her training as a barista? Great video as usual. Kind regards.
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.
Susie is the guard I had on my second visit to Corrour! It's fabulous to see her here! 😁😁
Everyone there seems to be so much fun!
Susie has been my guard many times. I live in Fort William and use the line frequently. She’s amazing!
Had her in jan last year, she played walking in the air as we crossed the Glenfinnan viaduct 🤣
Most importantly, a 👍for the 🐕!
Loved the quietness, remoteness, & quaintness of this video!
I smiled for 27 minutes straight. I love the energy
Possibly the best I've seen at far, I'll definitely be visiting next summer. Fabulous video. Thanks Geoff and Vicki. 😀
Having worked on British Rail(1968) have just found Geoff & Vicki rail travels. A walk down memory lane - thank you.
Stayed here after watching the first ALS video on it. Stunning scenery, cosy rooms, lovely staff, excellent food. Don't know what else to say without it sounding like I'm sponsored. This makes me want to go back.
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)!
oh my, you went whilst the lined was closed and they let you drive in! that's neat, not many people get to do that! he hee!
@@AllTheStations I was so glad to get to, my visit there was my favorite part of the trip!
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.
How can anyone dislike this? How??? It was brilliant. Well done you two. Staff at the station seem like a great bunch of people. I think the Corrour marketing board should give you some commission! I bet that accommodation will be booked solid for months after this.
Top notch video! 👍👍👍👍👍
Brilliantly well done video! Geoff and Vicki you are such a wonderful & warm couple! The staff are really lovely! I can't tell you how wonderful this was to watch! Thank you...take care!
You beautiful people. Thanks for bringing a favorite bit of Scotland to us ex-pats around the world. Travelled through Corrour several times and never stopped. Next time I’m back in the UK I’ll make a point of it.
What great advertisement for Corrour station. I think post Corona they are going to have to take on more staff. Vicky and Geoff, a big thank you!
Great documentary! You're both naturals when it comes to presenting. And a big 'hello' to the very welcoming Corrour station house team - a must-visit experience!
What lovely staff and location. Must go one day
This is a trip of a lifetime (if you’re from a different part of the world). This station is definitely on my bucket list! Thank you so much Geoff and Vickie for showing the world this amazing place!
"Just turn on the coffee machine - no pressure" brilliant.
Christ! A UA-cam video with no nastiness in the comments, how lovely!
What an amazing beautiful place, a great video, makes me want to go there!
Although I did note the 45 dislikes...
What is wrong with some people?
What an absolutely wonderful documentary. I want to go there even more now. Well done the both of you.
Watched this video and had to visit, did so last September just for an afternoon and glad to see Shona was still there. What a wonderful place, had an awesome late lunch and got some great pics from the old signal box. Next time I will definitely stay overnight. Awesome place !!!
Fantastic. Would love to see more like that. Behind the scenes, or a 24hrs at a station sort of thing
It would be real cool to see these alternate between super busy terminal stations and remote boutique stations like this one.
Loved the video. I now live 10,000 miles away from Scotland but last time I was back I went to Crianlarich and waited for a train to come in - just like I used to do when I was a little boy. Happy memories.
Geoff: "It's like a stable"
To which the audience (of two) in my house said:
"Neigh, Geoff"
Fantastic! You two are just the most natural, enthusiastic of presenters....and not afraid to get your hands dirty ( literally!). What a place....I intend to go there eventually!
If you are doing Barry Links, least used, give me a shout Geoff. Would like to do a follow up article from your all the stations one I had published. Cheers Garry
Excellent Great catch and video Thanks for sharing your work!
I just finished watching a 27 minute ad and I enjoyed every second. Great video!
Amazing Video again Geoff and Vickie An absolute Pleasure to watch this
Trainspotting soundtrack from Wolf Alice come to mind, Great video Geoff and Vicki!
We went there in the fall of 2018 based solely on your "All the Stations" video. When Geoff said in the video "You have to come here", I ran upstairs and said to my wife "Amity, we HAVE to go here" and, well, we did. And hopefully soon we will go back :)
Doggo!
5 stars.
Brilliant and insight to Corrour.. .Think its time to watch All the stations all over again..Yet again I should say..Great work as per..
Wow, this is a truly amazing video and more of these should be made you did a fantastic job working at the station. It was that you were able to show us so much can't wait for your next behind the scenes.
I love going to Corrour the staff at the Station Cafe are so friendly and the scenery is stunning.
Great video Vicki and Geoff. Would be very happy to see more like this.
So gotta go back there again - went for our silver wedding in September and LOVED IT!!!
Another enjoyable half hour in your company. I watch at least one of your video's most days, please keep them coming.
This has to be my favourite video on this channel. I've been inspired, so when I have the time and the funds I will travel from London up to Corrour.
I may never be able to get back "over the pond" again but I feel like a mini trip every time I see one of your vlogs. Thank you!
I think I have just possibly seen the best piece of video I have ever seen on You Tube
This guy knows how to make a documentary
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!
BBC trained l believe
you two have done it again. awesome video. I loved it. you two are like two very special friends. I can't describe it but I literally get so excited when I get the alert that a new video is out. Keep it up! You truly light up, (if I may speak for everyone), our lives.xoxo
Absolutley love this video. I am staying at Inverness for a week end of March (bus from Inverness to Fort William). Even if it going through i have to to try this route. Thank you for a video made with love.
I was so entertained this felt like a 5 minute video. I want more of this! Great job, Vicky and Geoff!
This is the life what a great way to live (y). I can imagine this is your happy place Geoff and fairplay to you! Great people,good vibes and in the middle of nowhere. Love it!
Another wonderful Vid Geoff & Vicki, wow what a great little station Corrour is, thank you for sharing, Robert.
What a great video i love behind the scenes stuff its a pretty remote great place to visit when i eventually retire.
Thanks geoff & Vicki best video so far ive watched.
Marc In Bletchley Towers
Really enjoyable documentary thank you both. Beautifully filmed too. Better than most stuff on TV!
Stunningly beautiful, sounds a bit cliche I know, but truly. Thanks very much for the look.
What a wonderful video! I can't express how much of a good video this is. Top quality and great people.
Absolutely loved every minute, Thanks.
I never get tired of watching this video , just brilliant !
Corrour truly is a beautiful place and again shows how railways lead to amazing places.
That was lovely, thank you. What a fantastic place.
Brilliant as usual. We are planning to stay this summer. Thank you.
That was amazing to watch. I used to volunteer at Authur's Tea Bar at Leyburn Station on Wensleydale Railway,🧀 which makes a fascinating video to watch. I will put Corrour on my Bucket List of Places to Visit. I am beginning to think you two will have to do another book soon with all the things you have done since 2017. Well Done Again, Choose Corrour.😊👍🏴
Another great video Well done guys,Cant wait to visit this stunning place in April!
Excellent cup of tea. Well made footage par excellence.
What a wonderful documentary; fabulous drone footage, great people, amazing location and most of all, the icing on the cake, Geoff and Vicki.
Corrour is now on my list of ‘must visits like - I have been through the station but never stopped!
I've got to say...that was one of the most enjoyable videos I've ever watched on youtube. Lovely people, great location and stunning scenery. Enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you.
Great video. One of your best. Adding that to my bucket list.
Absolutely heart warming and enduring video proggrame. You have both nailed it. I love it!
What an incredibly beautiful documentary!!
What a charming video and both the ladies working at the station seemed to be an absolute delight.
So glad I found this video! It's so lovely and wholesome! I want to visit now!
Yes I've been watching all the videos beginning with this is probably one of my favorites so far and beautiful station with wonderful staff
Lovely video! You get a real sense of teamwork.
That place changed owners maybe 9 years or so ago. I stayed there for three nights back in 2008 and it was an ambition fulfilled.
I adore this video. It’s such a mundane topic but at the same time incredibly enthralling.
Another great story. Thanks team!
Love Scotland, haven't been in a few years, now I miss it greatly! One of your best videos, like visiting with old friends.
First class production values. Another fabulous video, and one of the finest locations ever featured on All the Stations.
Loved the video. What a wonderful place and the staff amazing.
What a HAPPY experience for you and for the audience!!! 💖💖
Fascinating. A thoroughly enjoyable video with bonus Golden Retriever footage 👍
I always love hearing about Corrour! What an amazing team who clearly enjoys their job. Thanks for this peek behind the scenes. The logistics are fascinating to watch.
Oh, and the venison burger is delicious. Best burger I have ever had, definitely! #ChooseCorrour
Tremendous video, thanks!
Doco’s like this are a gem to watch. 👏🏻👍
What a beautiful place. Definitely on our bucket list.
Beautiful! Thank you . 😎❤️🏴
What a fantastic video! Though I am now massively envious of the lucky lucky people who get to work and live in such an amazing place!
Fabulous video, loved everyone's enthusiasm, dedication and commitment.
What a great video! Long live Corrour Station and its wonderful staff! I will be visiting in 2020
Steven Dalton Oh my.... 2020 huh...??
Well done both of you for such a wonderful film.
I really enjoyed this very much, and more than I was expecting to (and I tend to enjoy Geoff and Vicki's videos).
A fascinating insight, great staff, stunning scenery and some cute pooches.
I really must visit Corrour sometime soon.
Absolutely brilliant!! That 25 mins went sooo quickly!! Please, please do some more like this or something similar.❤️
Loved it, thanks to both of you XXX
Fascinating insight. This place is even more on my to do list!
That was simply lovely. Thank you
What a beautiful part of the world, Lovely video & lovely people at the station house.
Geoff and Vicki make sone really great videos. This one is particularly special. Well done.
