authentic experience this is becoming
very meta isn't it Westbury where
we but look the BBC are
here look the the cameraman is on camera
that's going to freak him out yeah uh
out so today's awkward station is pezy
there's a 7h hour period between 9 and
3:00 where it only gets four trains two
in each Direction at completely
irregular it has a very irregular
service pattern 10:02 on platform 3 it
is on time this is good news good
news Vicky if if the BBC are hassling
you just let me know I just you let me
know right so David um why do you like
trains what's what do you have a
favorite what's your favorite station do
you have a York York of course yor York
has the the the the emotional connection
for me because it was going home and
also it's got that sweep that curve it's
beautiful it's the it's the great sort
of um train
city thank you pey
tick have you just found the most
delightful waiting room ever it's got
lovely old benches and chairs and some
great pictures of the area there's a
picture of Alfred the Great Alfred the
Great king of Wessex uh strong
connections here in pey and it said that
at some point he went off to fight a
battle somewhere and he left his wife in
charge of the town in the area and when
he came back he
um granted to the people of pezy uh a
day of Celebration and over the years
that has become the pey carnival which
is the largest apparently Carnival in
walshire that's the BBC spoiling my
shot just wanted to point out the
awkward steing service trains to
Paddington at there's one at 622 and 633
10 minutes apart one one in the sevens
one in the E and then the one that we
just turned up on the 10 and then
nothing until 1:45 and then again
nothing until
427 please please saw your name on the
emails yeah okay in your time here at at
pey what what have been the biggest
changes probably in the growth of um of
commuity traffic when I came here we had
well we had virtually no um sea sticker
holders and slowly built up not that
many trains that stop here every day at
the moment certainly not off Peete no we
could do with a few more really but um
it's not too bad peak time when most of
the people are traveling the commuted
you know up in the morning back in the
evening it's not really too bad you know
what made you join the railways I've
always been Railway right from down here
you know always always always been you
know keen on Railways hi we need to go
to bedwin this is a this is a nice man
from valleywide taxes use valleywide
taxes when in the pey area recommended
by Rob on Facebook thanks Rob thanks

[Applause]
yeah BBC are going we're at Newbury
platform 3 we're getting the scer just
me and you again me you
again back at reading into reading three
times I wonder which is our most visit
exension somebody will work it out for
us by the end it'll probably be reading
will be up there we're doing the swinden
Shuffle because we because of the
complications yesterday we've got like
um Kimble and all that to do off of
Swindon right now so we're heading for
[Music]
swind we at Swindon running from plat 4
to two best luck thank you very much
let's go let's
go St stous bler and everybody is
running for the chum train I think it's
a
connection we're all going everyone's
going for
it go to the front
big they held it we haven't done Stone
Gate today I don't know when we're going
to do it but we're going to do it hello
where'd you
go that's quite a step down this is
Stone House uh we have have to wait here
to go back to Swindon but the trains are
only every hour currently and then they
go down to 2 hours is that right Jeff
it's another a frequent service so we we
can have a look around ston housee but
no here's my cutting plan oh strud stoud
is only 2 miles back down the road is it
strud or St I think it's stoud okay
that's enough time to get a taxi back to
stoud which I think is a much more
quaint town and you you better you can't
just you can't just fling the word
quaint around that not how it works we
got to go back through stoud and uh the
other station kemell and kemell is also
amazing I'm practicing my curtsy but
because of yesterday's mess up we won't
actually get to get out at Kimble and
look around but we'll give you
practicing my cutsy for nothing but
let's have a quick look here and then to
St the bud smells
nice got the bus came to St str's
nice
[Music]
we just got chatting to the lovely gwr
man in the ticket uh office and he's
saying that cuz this is a listed
building they can't put ticket mares in
so it's what they call an open station I
didn't realize there was a barrier for a
a barrier in putting barriers in if it
was list you better just walk through
then okay can I see a ticket
please no yesterday we meant to do
stonate stoud and Kimble because it all
went wrong we've had to do it the other
way and that means today there's no time
to spend the Kimble which is a shame cuz
we have loads of things to tell you
about Kimble and we want to go a walk
around yeah can you remember what all
the things were about kimal I have a
little list uh Princess Anne is
sometimes seen on the platform cuz she
lives nearby there was an RAF base close
by and it's the ex training ground of
red arrows and they used to do sort of
fly pasts and things there a Lotus test
area yeah what do I mean by that Formula
1 oh Formula 1 there's an old water
tower I think on this side Jeff if you
look now there's an old water tower on
the platform there's a pub on platform 2
and a new passenger bridge and I believe
the source of the T oh yes it does this
is where the 10 star yes so kemell is a
great town but we don't have any time to
get out here now because of it because
it went wrong yesterday the kemble's
Great
great first
Eng we've been told we can't come to
Swindon without going to the Steam
Museum and we're heading in that
direction but we've just uh walking past
what looks suspiciously like at some
Railway cottages and some sort of
Railway Depot and we're on Station
Road
Vicky what did we just stumble upon it's
a train and tea and a mini train and a
horn bees
shop it's like a a a train Enthusiast 7
we didn't manage to make it into the
Steam Museum in
time uh so let's have a couple te so
this is the site of the swinden works
which were originally the Great Western
Railway sheds for repairing all of the
steam engines um that came through on
the Great Western Railway it's now a
shopping center there is a museum a
National Trust building just uh opposite
us as well and the model Railway Village
as well with which we walk past to get
here which is very similar to
bourneville in the principles of it
being a village specifically for the
workers and in them having um high
standard of um living conditions as well
as support such as medical and health
care we just did milk we went at to trog
Bridge we're changing we're going back
to Bristol that is the end of another
long day on trains but we
