train have you seen
and you come to Bell founder Bell which
dates back to the 1950s and sadly a deaf
man was killed by train arriving from
Cork that was decided to put a bell in
each signal box which would be rung to
alert passengers and staff that trains
are coming and so this Bell is from the
South signal box although they call it
cabin and their bells are replacing the
nineties by a siren
[Music]

and it's just full of old photos and
half an earlier and when it's won best
station awards over the Everett mallow

all going to get a bit matrix again with
the tinted blue I hope it is a blue tree
[Music]
said Michelle we'll have some fun on the
blue hue tint to train and the gang we
made was that it's like in the matrix
where everything in post they gave
everything like a green tint so we
should have some fun here so let's make
it like the man Michelle do add a little
bit green right now add a little bit
more green bit more green that's too
much it's too much it's too much you

[Music]
I'm sat outside on the stairs of what
was the White Star offices and it's
where the last passengers to board the
Titanic would have come to sign up to
register to get on board the ship at the
back of the building is the old jetty
which passengers would have had to walk
long to catch a tender kind of shuttle
boat service that took them over to the
Titanic which was anchored a little bit
further out into the belly it always
seems to be stairs so right at the top
of the hill here just by the cathedral
you can see an incredible view across
the harbour that includes spike island
which has been many things in its past a
military base but perhaps most famously
it's known for being a prison it's now a
tourist attraction so you can visit the
prison have a look around
it's kind of like the Alcatraz of Island
incidentally coleman's cathedral is
thought to be one of the tallest
buildings in island cove is also linked
to the story of the Lusitania which was
travelling between America and Liverpool
and just off the coast of Cove here
it was torpedoed by a German u-boat and
it was the sinking of the Lusitania
which drew America into the first world
war
[Music]
we're on the platforms of glam torn and
I hope I'm saying it right because I'm
about to chat to man who should have
learned how to pronounce his words
because he's an Englishman but he moved
over here many years ago so he sounds
Irish to me Mike have got in touch to
say I'm a tour guide if you want some
help around the cork area and I give you
a few facts and I'd like to say he's
here right now hello Michael hello I
have to ask straight away why does an
Englishman move to Ireland my family's
Irish I moved back to Ireland 20 odd
years ago I went to study here I met my
wife and I'm living here ever since I
want to ask about the train service
you've already driven here today I used
to train maybe once a month to go to
Dublin for work I used it at least
weekly for a long while been huge
improvements in and in recent years
you've probably noticed as you've been
travelling around you know fairly new
trains and fairly on time most of the
time so we can't complain too much it's
a good service I'm assuming you get back
to Britain now no no how do you think
the railways compare between Britain and
Ireland obviously the system is a lot
more extensive especially in some of the
built-up areas of England but you know
there's a lot a lot of similarities at
the end of they getting people in and
out of the city I don't find it quite as
congested in the areas I'm living in
there's you know of course in Dublin the
commuter trains I'm sure are very
congested but I haven't been as many
stations as yourselves still to do a few
editor guide you do stuff all over
Ireland so what's one brilliant thing
that we'd never have known and this we'd
have met you when you get to the the
west coast of Ireland to the Cliffs of
Moher
you have to take the coastal walk along
the coast there a lot of people miss
that it's just such a spectacular
scenery you're overlooking the cliffs
there and maybe even a boat trip under
the cliffs
directly
so Vicki you've explored Cove Michael
really you're scientist at all the
stations taxi
very poor look at my feet it's like
getting attention let's do it let's do
it Middleton or character Hill I'll look
at the timetable it's not a hill you
don't H I don't think character Michael
driven us to Middleton it's 2:43 the
train leaves at 2:45 there's an hourly
service and where we don't want to have
to sit around for another hour it's just
the station but I can get it as close to
the station entrance as you can and
we'll see you at character oh yeah are
