When you see the number and length of the platforms at Llandudno it brings home just how well used and popular the place was before motor vehicles took over. I imagine there would have been many "specials" on bank holidays and in the summer bringing thousands of visitors from the industrial cities. It is sad that the railways can no longer compete.
That's Cyffordd Llandudno/Llandudno Junction. It's about 5 miles from Llandudno. It's a separate place.
This line features the longest single track tunnel in the UK at over 2.2 miles and yet the video cuts it out. I remember as a kid riding this train and the biggest fun was watching the pinprick of light at the far end getting bigger until you popped out into daylight. What a shame!
Did this journey two weeks ago. What a treat!
Beautiful line, I spend a lot of time in this part of Wales. But… The sound of silence was almost deafening!
Beautiful silent ride through rugged rocky countryside. Tunnels are remarkable. A lot to be proud of here.
Thank you for such a magnificent cab ride.
Wonderful video; can't beat a bit of 'slow tv'. I noticed that all those people who noticed that there was no sound didn't notice that there was no charge for watching ! Thank you for taking the trouble to make these videos, brilliant !
22:56 Unfortunately, no stopping at Betws-y-Coed. North Wales simply is the most beautiful place in the world. The people are equally wonderful (I am from London). Great video, thanks for the upload.
Great video I travelled on that line many years ago in a DMU up front behind the driver very scenic.
Shame there's no audio. - I've been up and down that line quite a lot recently, and it looks totally different when you can see where you are going! Nice to see that NR have begun to cut the scrub trees that block the view. I hope they go all the way down, thinning or removing them, so as a passenger it is not like going along a green tunnel, with occasional glimpses outside! Shame there's still no audio! That stops me from subscribing.
Why bother filming the journey with no sound, completely ruined it.
what a great film, perfect day, wonderful scenery in early spring I presume at its best. I suggest play a soundtrack over it when watching, something hypnotic.
people are moaning about the sound, but what a lovely journey all the same
People love to complain, don't they? I agree, what a lovely train journey - I whole-heartedly recommend even if not riding in the cab of a Class 66! Is notbody going to mention the flawless, sunny day in Wales? It's not that common, especially in Blaenau!
Video image without sound us the equivalent of viewing van Gogh's Sunflowers in black and white. Humans are sensory beings, and sound adds colour to the visual image. As for 'people love to complain' @RoadCone411, well how dare they have an opinion that isn't shared by you 🙄.
Great Video in beautiful country side, don't need that cab noise at all..
Lovely scenery, but like so many others missed the sound which adds so much atmosphere to a train ride. Being unfamiliar with this location I would have appreciated seeing the names of stations and other notable locations identified.
Even though this footage was filmed 1080p, the quality of the rendering is poor. The camera seemed to have trouble focusing on the trees. I couldn't see the point of no sound either. Having said that, the line is wonderful.
You're a really useful railway.
Enjoy the ride.
Great video but sadly let down by no sound
Same as my usual comments about "No Sound" - so I'm pleased to "hear" it matters to others as well! Spoils what could have been an excellent trip.
Just spent ten minutes double-checking everything was connected and turned on, because there was no audio. Then I read the comments.
Why isn't this line as popular as the West Highland or the S&C? Crying out for an enterprising steam excursion company to market this: "Land of the Eagles" line maybe?
Great video. What do you use to blur the faces ?
great footage of a wonderful line, but is there any chance of a re-upload with sound?
You're a really useful engine.
No sound?
what happened to the Crimea tunnel just after the start it takes minutes to get through not seconds ?
oh dear, no captions, when will they learn?
Excellent videography but sadly only half the job done. Half the experience is lost. Any chance of a dubbed version?.
Something wrong with the sound?
감사합니다.
Sad about the lack of sound , it really adds to the vibe . Why the 3rd rail on bends , something to do with stability ? Love these vids set around the Welsh Railways , I'm sure it lowers your heart rate .[not to the point where it stops though !]
Shame about the Sound! .. :-( ... Surely on a Cabride Experience, the sounds are part of the experience!! .. Never Mind! ..... I see a nice route for Train Simulation! ... :-)
No Sound :.(
How on earth can you make a one hour vid without sound? The scenery is fantastic, but I'd prefer some sound.
been on this route many times..in a DMU..Then as you went in that long tunnel is was great waiting for the spec of light to appear...But you cut the whole tunnel out...The trip through the longest single line tunnel in the Uk is an important part of the trip, so why cut it out....if you have a FULL unedited version then that would be great.
(SILENCE)
What a silent video. I'm sorrry to say I couldn't hear the sound, that might be because there is no audio.
All Aboard. All Aboard.
Some of you might not realise but the tunnel at 3:25 is actually the longest single track rail tunnel in the UK at over 2 miles (3.4 km) long. Obviously edited out as a few minutes of darkness (and silence) would be pretty boring! Great video though.
Disappointed that there's no sound
Shame that there was no sound when I played the video. Totally unrealistic as there is sound almost everywhere and unless we are unfortunately enough to have hearing difficulties we expect sound at all times during our waking day.
When I played this video for the first time, I turned it off after about 15 minutes as the silence almost drove me 'mad'. The quality of the footage however, persuaded me to view it again a few days later, but this time I played some of my personal background music while I watched the video. It made a heck of a difference playing that music. I then really enjoyed my video journey and thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent scenery.
Oh I wish that the video had been recorded with the sound of the moving train in the background.It would have made it a video classic. Good footage though.
Jeff.
Travelled this line a long time a go. Lovely North Wales countryside, but oh dear no sound, no station place names, just became boring after a while. If you are going to do a cab ride again lets have some sound and station names etc. please, otherwise don't waste your time filming. See what Hastings Diesels do, they are excellent.
Nice vid but would have loved station name captions to aid following the ride on OS map.
Why isn’t there any sound? ☹️
Can anyone explain why no sound? Sound in these sorts of video's are integral
Ian Smith .Wonderful video. I travelled that line in the early 90s very senic
Gave it up after 4 mins, no sound.
Needs captions to relate to the stations and points of interest rather like Don Coffey vids.
I thought the days of silent movies were long gone ?
At 1:15 we travel past what looks like a disused platform on the left. Can anyone help with any info about this platform's use please.
That used to be the Blaenau Ffestiniog railway station until around 1983 when the new national railway and ffestiniog railway station was built.
@@getnyrb Thank you for this info.
Lovely video, beautiful place, but shame about the sound
Goooood
This footage goes nicely with any number of tunes. So why not play some music, sit back, and enjoy the film?
One of the most unspoilt branch lines in Britain filmed on a very rare sunny dry day - but why oh why edit out the longest tunnel in Wales at the beginning!
Not just the longest in Wales, but the longest 'single-track' tunnel in Britain!
Thanks for making video. Too bad everyone had to focus on the sound issue. I'd rather have the video with no sound, than no video at all. I assume you had reasons for no sound, whether glitch, or what have you. Thanks agains!
Agreed on soundless video vs none at all. You aren’t forced to watch, and as much as I like sound it’s unreasonable to expect the creator to have it if there’s a valid reason on their end not to (e.g. conversations that can in some way used against them)
Every time I see one of your videos, I say maybe it has sound to it! Wrong! If your worried about cab privacy, don't mount the camera in the cab!
Video is nice but NO SOUND!
And what country is this ? None of these videos say what country they are in......
north wales,and the first tunnel you go through is 2 miles long
why so slow ?
I don't think that. I have to say
Great line & footage, complete waste of time with No sound & information.🤪
Shame about the silence, but well done for not overlaying with a daft music track.
Sorry, bit boring. No music, no captions, no stations identified...
look like in GTA 5
Great journey! too bad there's no sound.
I don't think
Check rail heaven.
no
Points incorrectly set at 34:05, great video though
Giovani Tapini you can go through some types of points like that, they set correctly as the wheels go over them. Got to be done slowly though. Same at Chester in the sidings opposite P7
These points are spring loaded, I reckon
Can't even watch 2min without sound, why even bother uploading. Very disappointing
IS MY DEAF AID BROKE!
Is this how the deaf enjoy a train ride...??
No lights on and then cut the Moelwyn tunnel 5 minutes or so out.
Shameful !
Best bit that.
Otherwise fairly delicious.
Diolch yn fawr.
동양은 실제 우주의 원리를 찾느라고 무진애를 썻지요. 그 시절 서양은 할머님의 도구를 이용한 물질 문명에 극에 달해 현재에 이릅니다. 이러니 현 시점에 우주의 원리 물질 문명이 잘 조화를 이루면 당연 좋은 미래가 오지요. 단지 탐욕 갈등에서 벗어나 함께 같이가 있어야 모든 문제를 잘 풀 수가 있읍니다. 그리 어렵지 않아요. 하하.
why everyone moaning about no sound.
늪지와 들은 몰라도 산에는 사람이 옷을 입듯이 나무 숲을 입혀야 됩니다. 이는 꼭 이지. 그저 나름 괜찮아가 아닙니다. 하하.
산과 들을 누가 제일 많이 버렸을까. 바로 지배층이니 하지 서민은 그저 가지치기 정도. 끝 토목사업이 문제이지요. 피라미랑 대표작입니다. 왕궁 다 숲을 망가트린 원흉이지요. 하고 나면 기후변화 물길의 비낌 동물들의 대 이동. 곡식이 더 나오지 않다가 바로 사막화 큰 장마에 태풍 프래일 막 요동칩니다. 이게 기후변화에 주범. 우선 기초부터 차근 차근 행하면. 나무들은 착해서 잘돌아와요. 더 하려고 하도. 이지는 남은.숲이없을 지경. 남은 애들도 작년 재작년 작년 다 태우고 남은게 없어요.
저도 뙌놈만 잡으면 이유없이 이 사업은 시작 아마 거의 몰두 합니다. 이 일을 하며 나오는 문제 면역이지요. 이 또한 같은 문제라 부지런히 해야 후손을 보지요 응급구조도 하야하고 바쁘지만 숲가꾸기는 무조건 합니다. 심지어 중동 동생들이 자꾸 돈지랑으로 일을 가르쳐도 합니다. 수에즈 운하도 정비하고 홍해와 흑해를 있는 문제도 잘 고려하고 상의하여 완성 시키어야지요. 이런 것은 기본으로 갈등만 없으면 해결될 일을 몇 천년동안 갈등에서 헤매어 못하고 있다. 넉넉히 끌어 놓지요. 왜냐 물류가 잘흘러야 매가 아니 모든 사람이 하려는 일을 이루지요. 일은 안하고 곡식만 탐한다. 실제 어렵지요. 그런 길은 가지를 않읍니다. 이런 일에는 모두 팔 겉고 마서야지요.
저는 자연을 좋아하여. 나무가 자라고 커지면 당연 간절하고 잘가뚜어야 하지요. 참 좋은 목재가 나오지요. 그 이상의ㅡ행동은 안돼요. 이게 멈추지 못해 지배층이 이렇게 나쁘게 만들 이유도 있읍니다. 간벌에 멈추지 못하고 싹 다 잘라 궁전이나 대형 토목에 쓰니. 나무가 산에 없지요 그 다음은 엉망진창으로 가는거에요. 매우중요. 숲은 계속 가꾸면 사람 정도 먹을거리는 주지요. 그것을 당장 배불리기 하다가 이지경. 들도 마잖가지 입니다. 지금은 그 혁명을 따 반대로 하면 되는 시점이지요. 그러면 멀리서 제비가 고맙다고 리튬 물어 오지요. 즉 좋은 소식과 박을 선사합니다. 일은 매우 쉬우나. 사람들을 잘 배치하고 움직이면 몇 년후에는 모든 시민이 숲에 살기를 원하지요. 그것도 여자의 마음 같이 물가에 옹달샘 가까이에 살기를 원합니다. 그러면 사람의 안정되고 사회도 기준이되어 잘호응하게 됩니다. 실제입니다. 저의 경험입니다.
동지들도 막 만들어 지거나 변형 꺽꼿이는 감사해야 하지요. 있으면 되지. 실제는 안됩니다. 나빠지지요. 묘목장에서도 관리하더라도 이쁘고 튼실한 놈이 그들도 후손을 잘봄으로. 골라서 시작하면. 그리 어렵지 않아요.
제 눈에는 철길마저 개발만 했지. 숲을 가꾸지 않았어요. 실제 제 눈에 그렇게 보입니다.
사람들이 숲이 있으면 꼬입니다. 또한 불이 있으면 꼬이는데. 불어 타죽지요. 이래서 현대사회는 제 눈으로 그저 타죽는줄 모르고 불에 뛰어드는 사람들이라 생각합니다. 숲을 가꾸고 잘 형성하면 당연 숲과 함께 살아가지요. 거기에 강에 맑은 물이 흐르면. 여인네는 거기에서 무었을 씻고 닦고 화려합니다. 지금의 불에 죽거나 불가에 모여 있는 현 세계의 시국을 누가 하여야 합니다. 모두 위정자 지배층 들이 힘을 모아 가꾸어야 합니다. 더 빠른 길 없어요. 여기에 경우 산에 정상적인 모종을 심으면 아지 산에는 꼭 꺽꼿이는 아니고 씨종자를 심어야 하지요. 이러면 사람 마음도 자연도 물도 불도 멀리가지요. 영국이 종자학에 원리인데 ㄷ이번에는 다시 자연을 숲으로 가꾸고 후 일을 같이하는 것이 좋다고 생각합니다.
Lovely route featured, but without sound the video's just a load of rubbish and completely unrealistic! I suppose you COULD play music while watching it but that's hardly the point of a cabride is it. However, if you cut the sound because of cab-conversation and/or privacy perhaps I could suggest that in future you put sound-equipment in the rear cab. This way you can record whatever noise the loco is making AND still have the view from the front, without having to worry about background noises! But as things stand at the moment your videos are completely pointless and in future I will definitely make a point of avoiding them.
