good morning it's thursday the 11th of
may we're in weymouth we've come a
little ways down the road because we
wanted to show you
this another train line in weymouth
this train line was known as a weymouth
tramway
you can see how the rails themselves run
right down
the middle of the street and it went
down to the
keys and connected with boats originally
going across the sea so it was known as
the boat train
this line hasn't seen any trains running
on it for
about 18 years but weirdly it's never
been
officially closed so this is still
technically an open
train line oh do you want to go and get
a train then to the chains
[Music]
so
[Music]
this is quite an awkward section because
we're going along the south coast
weymouth
bournemouth paul southampton but you
can't get one train that stops
everywhere
when you look at the map it looks as if
you just get one train from weymouth all
the way through to southampton but you
can't
have to change
the next station is
[Applause]
behind me you can see it deborah smith
and post office this is one of the
things we have to do every day in all
the stations
the admin for you we have to post the sd
cards
down to our editors and what's really
strange is that this reminds me of
lincoln on our test day with the level
crossing
because you're in the high street here
you're walking along you're doing your
shop
you've been to costa suddenly you want
to go down here to the hsbc bank and
suddenly
the railway is in the way the railway
just like
dissects the high speed that's so weird
and there is a little bridge up here you
can see there's a little footbridge
but wouldn't it be great if there was a
major you know lift uh
you know a step free lift and everything
help the residents of pool
get across their high street
[Applause]
[Music]
so this is pool station what is there to
say about pool station
pool station um is in the middle of
lots of cars and some flyovers but the
historical harbor i think
is a little bit further away
unfortunately you don't have time to pop
down to the harbor
just an interesting thing on the next
train indicator they do a thing
they do this up at um watford with the
overground trains they say they're only
going across southampton rather than
houston
it's to stop people getting on the slow
stopping service so actually there's a
train there that's advertised
as going to farnborough but actually it
is going all the way to waterloo but
they want you to get the express train
the fast train toward the low so to be
nice
to stop you getting the slow takes
longer train to waterloo they only
advertise it as going to farnborough
it says farnborough it really means
london but that's a good thing
it's a good thing
i know you're all concerned about
keeping count on the number of teasers i
drink i'm not
sorry i'm not going to count the number
of teas tea count is not what all the
stations is all about at least two
stations yes
all the stations lesson we just came
through bournemouth though what a
beautiful station someone on twitter was
like
jeff check out the art deco framework
you got the
the idea that it was once a much more
major station you had gaps in the middle
where tracks obviously used to come to
the middle
there's now just two tracks on the gap a
little bit it was a beautiful
gorgeous station this is hookstown
i have to say i'm reflecting from the
first few days where we spent
on gwr services and all the cornish
branch lines was wonderful
and it feels a bit weird to be back in
familiar territory and it's not as
exciting like i like
you know going to new places and we're
back in london
yes i know we're down in but we're back
on the london map we've just come down
the little branch line
to livington pier which mainly i think
people use to get
ferry services to the isle of wight
we have successfully navigated the
livington town and pier branch
um awkward station of the day today i
might put a tweet out in a second if
there's a badge of that and you won then
that badge is appearing on the screen
now is bewley road we'll be doing that
soon
but we're here at brockenhurst i want to
point out this over here this is what i
believe
is called a luggage extender can you see
there's a red contraption with wheels at
the bottom
there's a footbridge here if you had
luggage or something really heavy they
could extend this out
over the tracks and you could wield your
luggage or heavy equipment if it was
across
over the railway it's definitely not in
use now because amongst all the
investment which network rail are
putting into stations
around the country there are some nice
new shiny lifts here which is great for
step free access i've never seen them
before are there any more of these
other stations around the country i'm
sure you let us know in the comments
i've got one bar 3g i'm going to stand
by the door
the next station is oh it's
it's just decided to break initializing
video
come on come on periscope it's not going
to do it is it
i just want to see if anybody gets on or
off we really wanted to do
i should get a photo at least to prove i
was here
we just left mill brook station uh that
and red bridge station on the way into
southampton we went through really fast
and there was a heart dropping moment
where i thought we've missed our first
stations and then we got to southampton
and realized that our train back out
we're getting which is the one we're all
now to salisbury actually stopped at
those stations
stations in the southampton area
trickier than you'd think
south africa itself by the way very
pretty a nice mural along the
length of the footbridge there when you
change
yes we went through the tunnel we're
just about to get off the train
we're at uh solsby station and i've just
tried to
run down into the town to catch a
glimpse of the cathedral
that shot i think is the only one that
i'm gonna get i think i probably should
have turned
down another right-hand road as i left
the station
um but i have to get back and catch this
train
so i'm not going to hang around anymore
i'll head back to the station now
[Music]
1994
[Music]
yeah what's the new plan so
we're in basingstoke at the timetable
there are some pain
stations not all trains stop this
there's a skip pan we have like a
backup mission control here at all the
stations that i'm chatting to
and we have our friend david here and
between the two of us we've realized
we were gonna do hedge end and botley
please please come through
this lady is like i'm interrupting a
crucial documentary how's your day
how's the railway can we talk to you
about how much you love drones
hi what's your name my name is meg hello
nick
we've got to get the train in four
minutes let me get this at 1700.
no i'm getting me something no seven
okay all right we're making a
documentary about what it's like we're
traveling to every single station
are you on facebook you need to type in
the phrase at all the stations
and you'll find us but you just said you
love travis i do
why do you love trains because it's it's
just so simple
to be now clearly you look young enough
to have a young person without cards do
you have a young person as well i do
you know what a young person is between
16-25
so you could get that down to probably
like like 2 pound 80 or something
i need this
whisper
so i failed in salisbury but winchester
i'm trying again
to see if i can get to cathedral in time
before we have to catch our train got 20
minutes
that's sort of the back of the cathedral
but
okay i think i might have one minute to
go around the front and then i really
have to
maybe maybe even run i did not think
this through
[Applause]
okay that's it back
good
[Music]
hello hello nice to see you
[Music]
[Applause]
dave again david his camera's bigger
than us
vicki if you hold that pose i think
we've just found so this post
i think we've just found our closing
shot for the day what are you gorfing at
