it's Friday the 29th of March hello
do it very good we're at Cork Station
well Kent station named of course after
Thomas Kent and strangely out trained
today to Waterford isn't until this
evening which means we have all day
spare to go exploring around cork that
okay but before then we have a musical
appointment here interpretation welcome
all the station
[Music]
so what they're doing is that they're
installing pianos around Irish railway
stations today is the fifth one that's
going in here at Cork Penn Station
what this initiative toy Israel about
two years ago mister pianos and Pierre
station Dublin Connelly Houston pumping
station Waterford and obviously Kent
station today I live in London perfect
three years while I was training these
pianos were dotted everywhere and I just
wanted to bend the concept to the people
of Ireland for the commuters of
Arlington well it depends on how many
stations there are suppose we know that
in Northern Ireland as well
198 days okay we're going to order but
so it's a lot of pianos
[Music]
this is a very accomplished penis called
did on how they can play any really
[Music]
so we played him like ten seconds about
danger and you've done it already okay
that's pretty good
[Music]
I can practice for like weeks and not be
that good you know plan out with some
more anything anything
[Music]
just got aperture to bus to bus
[Music]
and what somebody in court this morning
described as the warmest March they've
ever remembered I've come out along
Black Rock Road to come to the old rabbi
station now I don't know whether it's
Mahon or Mahon I'm sure you term in the
comments I've come to the bridge and I
can see it's the old narrow gauge Black
Rock we're way because down there my
friends looks like an abandoned platform
and it's now looking green wait here we
go
[Music]
to my white there's a nice picture of
the GB and PR now I'm gonna have a
geocache of my spare time geocaching is
like a the GPS based treasure hunt game
geocache owners quite often put
information about the area into their
geocaching so I can tell you that the
cork Blackrock and pattered Railway was
a 3-foot narrow gauge railway that
opened in 1858 it closed completely in
1932 and the since been replaced by a
public pathway and nature area which is
what we're on there and there's joggers
and the cyclists and there's Walker's
and there's mothers with children and
prams and it's just delightful
[Music]
now we get the bus back
see what Vicky's been up to
[Music]
I must hunt robust the to15 to take me
to blarney castle
for 18 minutes
[Music]
Wi-Fi
just on chatting to a nice lady who's
lived here for 23 years but originally
from Massachusetts she pointed me in
this direction there's been a castle on
this site here in Blarney since the 10th
century the castle that remains today
however dates from the 15th century
blarney castle has always been the
ancestral home of the McCarthy clan and
in the 12th century the clans chieftain
Cormac McCarthy became king of Munster
one of the main reasons that people come
to Blarney Castle is to kiss the Blarney
Stone it is said that if you kiss the
stone you will be endowed with the gift
of the gab there are many stories built
up around this legend
whatever the reason hundreds and
thousands of people come every year to
climb to the top of the castle to kiss
the stone I think it's my turn
[Music]
we'll reach the top I think
[Music]
[Applause]
I did it and I've got the photograph to
prove it it's a bit of a tourist trap
getting the photo but hey how often do
you hang off the side of a car so that
gives the space I don't know about you
it doesn't happen to me very often and I
really like castles
[Music]
Michael who we met yesterday said we
have to come to some answer
also known out of the Chandon tower or
the Chandon bells also known as the
four-faced liar because the clock on
each side of the tower tells a slightly
different time you can as a member of
the public go into the church up the
tower and ring the bells but sadly it's
closed so we don't have time to do that
but talking of time talking of time the
time has come for us to be reunited
hello hello I kiss the Blarney Stone and
did you like it yes time it's comforts
together a bit to save us walking back
to cook station it's trying to do the
magic we're just click or just click and
get there because I'm exhausted that
will save us the wall yeah ready three
two one drop you get the drinks in yes
get the jeebies as we call it in the
trade that's the news that's it that's
not we know calling TVs
[Music]
in a rather exciting update we do have
our first proper delayed train the
Dublin Houston to coke train is running
late by about 30 minutes and the
Limerick train waits for it so normally
what it would have left by now so
they're holding it but all the while
they hold it it's blocking the platform
for our water for train this is the
first big delay so we just get to hang
out at at lemon road junction which is
fine
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
did you write the other number that
train please
that's the doubling coltrane leaving
which means the Limerick drinking Nelly
and this is it this is the water for
train how many people do think at home
we jump on because we don't want to miss
it because the next one ain't until
tomorrow is there a toilet yes I've got
Packer crisps in dinner so are you
prepared to jump out stations along the
line and get a shot in darkness
yes excellent
[Music]
Tipperary I shall be returning here
looks like this in the darkness
please again thank you for traveling
with your brother
factories here rich
hate filming it's got a footbridge sorry
turning at 8:29 Aragon sheron's wood
looks like
finally the the limited service train is
approaching Waterford a little bit late
over here we have Claudia I didn't get
your name madam and over here we have
character
first of all Claudia do you wish there
improve your life I fear that I wouldn't
have to stop you both houses and eat a
cake taeksoo case is that because you
missed the train ones and you have you
had to rely on a stranger to help you
anyway but destiny war trains and Carol
hi did you make journey every Friday so
I usually before I saw that the tickets
were such she pays to take the bus but
that was like twice as much as expensive
so I decided to take the train but
there's only two a day experience good
it has been there was one time where I
was heading back to Limerick for an exam
from my one of my exams and a tree fell
on the rail but thankfully no one was
injured and we stopped just in time but
they did their best to really help me
get there on time they got a taxi ready
for me when I got there and they drove
me straight to the exam and they wish me
the best of them and they apologized
like all the time for it and I'm just
very grateful so even when they make
mistakes there really feel bad about it
so thanks Carol
we've made it to one of the fun kit yes
we're little late be honest bit like
what happened is that as we were late we
then it took wait for the platform to
become available which radios even more
spotty late because it's just leaves
only one platform at would for Plunkett
so we're here in Waterford the weekend
where there'll be bonus videos
what a day good day yeah you want to say
seed gonna say roll credits a little
more the credits will seamlessly crash
it
[Music]
probably one of the main reasons why
people come to blarney castle is to kiss
the Blarney Stone
it said if you kiss the stone you'll be
endowed with the gift of the gab which
is something I probably need a little
bit more of though Jeff would probably
disagree
you
