Great, and the commentary is a model of what such things should be. Thanks.

Thank you for the feedback. I try to keep it interesting, without being overloading and distracting

A great but inevitable OTM Shake Rattle & Roll movement, at least you got a good road for the most part.

@emmo999 2 месяца назад

They’re necessarily set up relatively hard for the work they do, which means rattles inevitably form over time

@Pixel_pixie963 2 месяца назад

Used to do this journey in the early 1990s. Trains always stopped at the halt.

@emmo999 2 месяца назад

Nothing stops there now. The platforms purely remain because it’s easier than removing them!

@andrewpalm2103 2 месяца назад

The gentle curves and long stretches of tangent track were pleasant surprises on this part of your route. But then lately I've been watching several video cab rides on Japanese meter gauge lines which seem to be all curves and even more tunnels than you have! 🙂 Thanks for another nice ride and cheers from Wisconsin!

@emmo999 2 месяца назад

There’s very little long sections straight of straight track around this area, as it winds its way around the North Downs, rivers and local geography

@heckelphon 2 месяца назад

Thanks for another great video. A route I just didn't know. Those with rattle-aversion will have liked the tunnels: very smooth ride through them, and hardly any sideways movements!

@emmo999 2 месяца назад

It could have been so much worse, with the sounds echoed around us making them louder! 😂

As we ride through Strood, I'd like to give a big shout-out to any ex Temple Secondary School boys, especially those who frequented this old, draughty establishment during the 1970s 🫡

@emmo999 2 месяца назад

I’m sure - if any are watching - they’ll appreciate your sentiment 😅

@TheMisterB2u 2 месяца назад

That warning board for 40 approaching Dartford should be removed.The 40 doesn't start till Dartford junction and like you stated there is a 20mph restriction before that(either side of Dartford station).

@emmo999 2 месяца назад

There is a very brief period of 40mph immediately before the 20mph. If you have access to the Sectional Appendix, you’ll note a 40mph stretch from the crossover before Dartford There is a sign at 23:48 in the video, but it’s small and should be large. I have always ignored the 40mph anyway, due to need to slow for the 20mph

And I still don't know what the final destination is to be, unless I missed it somewhere along the way. Perhaps it's a secret...

@emmo999 2 месяца назад

I haven’t posted the final destination, because it wasn’t largely relevant for the video. It happened to be Woking Up Yard, but the camera battery died before I got that far (I’ve previously uploaded that part of the journey anyway)

Having watched part 1 and now on part 2 no.passengers at stations although there is a train parked at Strood. Was this filmed on a strike day?

@emmo999 2 месяца назад

Yes. Passenger trains (what few there were) were running from Dartford towards London

@Pixel_pixie963 2 месяца назад

Did a freight train derail in this area a couple of years ago?

@emmo999 2 месяца назад

One did coming out of Hoo Jn towards Higham. You’ll note the lighter ballast on that side where the line has been renewed (whether that’s coincidence or due to the derailment, I have no info)

Once the Industrial Revolution/Period started, North Kent ('The White Country' cf 'The Black Country') was never a pretty place. But #ThatDamnedTunnel and #ThatDamnedEU and #ThatDamnedWomanMargaretHilda ruined our #BelovedKent. Grrr!
