good morning we've come to the right
place it says for the Explorer in you
lard lyard lard we're going to get into
so much trouble we're at the railway
station and I think about getting the L
Branch uh as you can see from the DMI is
that there's a very least you station
here in cornal K Kum yes Kum Junction
Halt and it only gets two trains a day
and we're getting 8:33 so that we can be
on it it's a request stop Yes here the
thing Vicki I've had a look at Google
Maps this morning the train when it
leaves lard goes around in this
magnificent Loop to get down the hill
into and then reverses out yeah I
think I can walk down the
hill and get there before you really so
I'm going I'm going to leave you right
okay can I leave you my bag okay and
then I'll see you at okay I'm going
to go down there and do it is that I I
mean oh don't e me
[Music]
J I really hope this is the right way
very quiet single Track
Road I'm pretty sure it's the right way
okay I am the only one on the train at
the moment lovely little one car
train the driver and guard have just got
off so
literally I'm in so possession of this
train
okay we have left discard we are about
to head to
had a quick chat with the guard and
he says that yes the train reverses back
up there so it is a request stop but it
will stop there automatically anyway
fingers cross the uh Jack there
I have a new favorite train station in
the whole world here's the tiny
platform there a single track and this
is the halt it's just a little tiny halt
so I feel like doing a
mini Leu station
it's
amazing oh my life there's a shelter the
help point and the sign and that's it I
can hear trees I can hear birds I can
hear the running water of a
stream there a v duct beyond the bridge
in the distance and it's just awesome
and any second
now a little single car 153 is going to
come chugging around the
corner that is
incredible have I got I think I've got
time the train's coming I've walk down
to the point
where it wouldn't
normally yeah I hear it this point
there's a little Crossing where the
train normally only comes to when it's
not going into Kum Junction halt
just twice a day it goes 100 met further
maybe 200 M further and comes into CB
Junction halt I've got to walk back down
to the path and catch the
train I might run
incredible station it's amazing there's
like nothing here wow when was the last
time you picked someone up at the
station all the stop
here so the train only
stops your arm
we're at Lou cornall you are extremely
pretty it's so
lovely we are back at liscard station
having done the lovely L
Branch let's go we have some shot of
some lovely houses we're just about to
pass over the Tamar Bridge the famous
isard K Brunell
Bridge can just see out the cor of my
eye so the bridge marks the dividing
line between Cornwall and
Devon here we go oh wow you need to
[Music]
get doing an interview with the Cornish
Times newspaper and had a tea by the
way you need to step step on the
platform because it's
Victoria that's my
station how's it feel a bit your station
it feels like being at
home it's pretty cool we just went under
the Tamar
bridge welome to G's Lake
unfortunately we're turning straight
around again we're in train goes in 6
minutes we have come down to Plymouth ho
because this journey isn't just about
the railways we want to visit all the
sites or as many sites in Great Britain
as we can so we have come from the train
station down to the seafront to find
this chap Sir Francis Drake who many of
you will know is famous for being the
vice admiral of the English Fleet during
1588 when the Spanish Armada approached
the shores and allegedly he was here on
Plymouth ho playing a game of bowls when
news reached him that the Spanish Armada
was approaching and he famously said
it's okay I still have time to finish my
game and defeat the Spanish hey Vicki
Vicky I just had an idea yep could we
possibly improvise and
reenact Drake bowling we how don't we
okay we got some we got some bananas
okay so you be Francis Drake okay I'll
be the Spanish Armada you'll be the
Spanish Armada I'll be the Spanish
Armada
[Music]
I am the Spanish Armada it's fine I've
still got time to eat this banana before
I defeat
[Music]
you we might have hit our first delay
because we have a 5 minute connection
time at newon abber if the train keeps
moving we good maybe he'll make up time
yeah we're approaching you an
abber we were doing 4 minutes ago it's
going to be adjacent we're coming in a
one what we be ging is if as we arrived
it would this is like theing tube
challenge can you see it is on the
platform train that's our train that's
our train it's a PAC of Vicki yay hold
the Pacer oh it's moving no they let it
go
we literally it's going it's ping out
now there it
goes and I I can see our train
disappearing into the distance that's
really
annoying okay listen so we're at
painting what are you saying we get the
1630 out and but I don't understand this
thing with Star Cross what's
happening so how is it that we now could
make it and I thought we were going to
miss it I just rang my friend Simon
we've got to go back up the line we want
to go to doorish to see the classic sea
at doish I don't know how we've managed
this but somehow we get the 1630 back we
can get out at doorish we'll have about
25 minutes to run down see the seaw wall
the famous seaw wall that collapsed into
the into the sea one day till they
repaired it and then back on the train
because we have to do starcross which is
an old station and then providing that
train is on time at exitor got a 5
minute connection at exitor and we will
make the stopping all Station Service to
bable including newent TI and chaplon
which are the or stations on that line
we might just do
it the sea is oh we're obviously in a
tunnel right now but the sea is like
lapping up against the wall like like
inches away from the train right so D is
is on
so he made it to doish as you can
see the water I'm what I'm I'm
underneath the railway station right now
I'm beneath the railway platforms this
is look
up that's the westbound side and the sea
is literally just
here right on the edge now what I've
been told is at 500 M down that way
we'll get to the part that infamously
collapsed uh under a severe storm into
the sea the network R Done a fantastic
job invested a lot of money uh
apparently they've glued the ballast
down it's some kind of special gluey
ballast and the ballast no now no longer
moves and the waves just regularly crash
in over the
rails what's a first Pacer it's a Pacer
[Music]
and that's how to do
jish and your first Pacer
woohoo thank we made it to
chapon done I'm going to give you your
trash that's your receipt there
[Applause]
[Music]
what's on the other side Vicki wow it's
the old Station House which is now
somebody's house the old sign and what
was once a platform but is now part of
somebody's Garden it's very quain any
