Exploring the North West by Train DAY 16 

Loooooving the funky transitions. Great vlog, looking forward to the next.

Ulverston used to be the interchange station for the long-closed Lakeside branch - you could get straight off one train and onto another on that unusual island platform! Great vlog - shame you had to take Northern's trains though!

The area where those old coaches are at Carnforth is West Coast Railways Carnforth Steamtown, it is a huge site! but it does have Diesel and Steam Locomotives as well on that site. At 1:51 they did used to be platforms on the WCML (4 platforms in total) but they were removed. 6:59, TransPennine Express Class 185 DMUs did used to go to Barrow-in-Furness think they started from Manchester Airport, they ran as six coaches to Preston, uncouple them and 3 coaches went to Blackpool and 3 coaches to Barrow-in-Furness. But it ended up changing into Northern Rail, at one point think they did used TPE's 185 on loan to Northern so they was some 185s on Northern services,12:32 had to look twice at that... thought it said local tit at first PMSL!!!! but defiantly a brilliant video indeed. However... I have done that line to Barrow-in-Furness in the past and also got off at Silverdale... but when I visited Silverdale, I travelled behind this photo from my Flickr which is with this comment :D www.flickr.com/photos/47384914@N04/37437824365/in/photolist-Z3fCSr-YK7tgb-YHspVL-XbgreF-MRdRG3-FLMxJW-G63m9K-G3JfMw-zgaiJr-zg7PPn-yT2oA6

How to brighten up your day .... watch a vlog from GLovesTrains that's how. Arnside will forever be known as Arseside 🤣🤣 just one of the many things that make you laugh in this vlog. Love the shot of the train from 5:48 onward, love the joy you convey when crossing over the train lines, the scenery and how you filmed it is spectacular, the wonderful steam train and last but not least your T-Shirt slogan. As always looking forward to the next one.

This series is my favourite thing about Tuesday's, loving the vlogs

I'm relatively new to your channel but I wanted to say I love your vlogs! I've been binge-watching them all week!

Back to watch another cool video of yours Past or present , there's nothin like a good Station an place, and not forgetting Boss trains and a lovely Beach at Grange over Sands, not forgetting you too, i love poetry so can try to Rime for you if you wish?, me off to bed now not that you needed to know, so have a good one and well done. 🙃😴

My old home station Ulverston, they use to be a nightclub called Buffers where the big dark windows are, very nice station lots of history

A whirlwind of information & enthusiasm!

Oh, and the Cark & Cartmel thing... Right, so... There’s a nearby village called Cartmel, and the station is in between two villages, one called Cark, and one called.. yeah.. you guessed it.... Flookburgh... Um... yeah. It’s a massive walk to Cartmel. So it makes no sense. But they do have THE BEST sticky toffee pudding in the country though....

Great video, enthusiasm, dynamic shots and barrow crossings!

I went to grange over sands as I was staying in my caravan at Haven Lakeside. I took a picture at the train station there haha! Great Vlog G

Ulverston is my home town. I still live here & used to work in the signalbox occasionally when I was a relief signalman. I worked Grange too amongst many others.

Still working my way through them G! It’s Choosday today! haha You’re back up in the are I grew up in again, as Simon said, that area with the old coaches used to be a MASSIVE railway museum called Steamtown. I remember the Flying Scotsman being there when I was young, and different Thomas the Tank Engine trains too.

Would love to see Carnforth station. Lots of history and I love the film Brief Encounter that was filmed there.

I like it love

Fantastic video again love the backing music another simply the best video 🚅🚄🚃🚃

I walked from Marple to Congleton along the Macclesfield canal several years ago. It took around 9 hours but well worth it. I would have gone to the end of canal at Kidsgrove but it was winter so went dark early.

Seeing your house in two glovestrains vids in a row 😆

Carnforth, where David Lean filmed some scenes for his most boring film. I used to be a part-time projectionist at the David Lean cinema in Croydon. We used to screen his films from time to time, and Brief Encounter was my least favourite. Ithink Great Expections was his best. You've been to Carnforth, in another video you were at Lostock Hall, and you've been to Burnley, so you probably went through Rose Grove, sites of three of the last BR steam depots. The coal and ash plants still survive at carnforth, one of them was seen in your video, but nothing survives at Lostock Hall or Rose Grove. You've been to Burnley? What would John Cooper Clarke think? He doesn't want to go to Burnley.

Oi oi Virgin red and black livery 😆😆 really want to visit carnforth just for the older mk2s and some hopefully good ol diesels 🙃🙃 if you want to get more confused then Bristol Temple Meads has 15 platforms but the last platform is 16 and (i think) 15 is missing but all the others are still there 😅😅

New subscriber, and enjoying your up-beat adventures

Had to laugh at the business with the phone box! 😀 As always great video! 👍🙂👏

Should of got some fish and chips from Arnside gorgeous from there

I’m terribly old, so remember Ulverston being a staffed station. In those days the staff would have a bridge on wheels to cross to the island platform. I think it was made like that so you could get off the train on one side to go into town or the other to get on the branch train to Lakeside (on Windermere). By the way, I do a radio programme on Transport stuff. Be good to meet up to do an interview sometime in the future.

Bonus stream train nice, great Vlog. 👍

Great video, really like this line!! 🤩 Btw, it said transpennine on the sign because they used to operate 170s and 185s up to barrow

Great vlog G! Amazing as always. I agree. Seeing all the stations, they could do with some more benches to them for sure. There were a lot of Sexy trains out there too. The views were stunning. The station at the end though looked creepy and rather odd at the same time. The platform thing confused me as well. I think that they just need to change the platform signage. Keep up the good work and we will see what the next one brings!

Great video. Really well put together. Fantastic !

Fantastic vid as always G, just the thing I need to wind down with after a miserable day at work 👍

Fantastic video I enjoyed watching it like the views you get from the stations

Another great vlog, Georgia. Rrrrrraaaagh! Keep 'em coming!

Oooh Grange over Sands lovely 🙌🏻

I was up that way the same day! I was several hours ahead as I saw the same Kettle leaving Carlisle. Discovered your vids few weeks before and have enjoyed them! Keep up the good work!

Hops on a 156 goes straight to the toilet love it! XD Another brilliant video too! About Ulverston's station layout was like that because it was an interchange station, so if you wanted to get off at the station you'd get off at P1 but if you wanted to use the junction you'd get off onto the island platform instead of crossing the line.

The sounds for door buttons on the 195s/ 331s sound like the ones found on the Mk5 coaches and the Aventras

Lovin your vlogs G but this one was and looks epic around Morecambe Bay and Cumbria :-)

Amazed we never saw you at Carnforth because we go to Carnforth models all the time

Great video, Was a nice surprise to see that steamer!

Hiya Georgia. This is another excellent vlog, really interesting to watch and consider future places to visit. So funny when you set the dog barking! 😮🐕‍🦺 Anyway, those crossing-y things that you used to cross the track. The legend that is Geoff Marshall did a little explanation of what they are called and why in his YT a month ago about Hawarden Bridge request stop. I didn't know what they were called until I saw his video. 🙂

Beautiful part of the north west, was on silverdale beach a few weeks ago and it was windy that day too💨brilliant vlog as always, the phone bit made me lol 😆 lovely stations and views, looking forward to seeing where you go next time👍

Great video. I enjoyed watching.

I live in grange over sands for 11 years and it is great, lovely weather some days terrible the next. you never know what you going to get in cumbria 😬

Great vlog Georgia this Area looks nice those path crossings are known as Barrow crossings.

1:17 you plank Georgia 😂😂😂 you know what gurl?...your videos get better and better every week...can’t wait for Wednesday’s now!

great video i go to carnforth alot, its quite a famous station and the old steam town museum were you saw the old coaches used to be a big attraction oh though i was to young to remember it i managed to get a ride on the miniature railway before it went, i still walk behind the old museum alot to see the steam locos and rolling stock from west coast railways, arnside is also nice with the viaduct and i can definitely recommend the chip shop there, i also think but not 100% sure but the lakeside & haverthwaite steam railway used to go from lakeside to ulverston so that mite be what the disused platform was for. keep up the vids, thanks for sharing, Tom

Great video which is your favourite station are they no inspector on trains

Nice VLOG! 👌👌👌 Thank you for sharing!Hi from Travelly 👍

Errm how the hell did I forget to watch my bezzies video. 🤯🤯. Another Banger 😊😊

Not that much of a train bug, but wasn't it unusual to see that steam train pass through without a diesel loco on the rear?

very good video, hi from a south african railfan!

Loving your video and the dancing included in your trip. Have heard that Lancashire and Merseyside is now in Tier 3 and Greater Manchester is also now in Tier 3. But hopefully it won’t spoil you days out.

Arseside ! 🤣

Amazing vlog as per usual

who was that disgusting person on the phone ha ha give them my number if they ring back lol great video as always keep em coming G

Brilliant video glovestrains I love ur Channel

Great stuff!

You’re weird side is very funny 😆

Birkenhead park station used to have a single track double platform to.

Amazing video yet again! At 7:00 I think Sim0ntrains already said this, but 185s did used to run from Manchester airport to Barrow in Furness and Windermere, up until 2015/16 when the franchises got changed. Thinking of becoming a Super Voyager, we'll see though!

Nice vid as always! :)

Another excellente video from you G 😎 plenty of sexy wexys, crumpets, crossings and squishy boobies in this vid! 😊 Hopefully yours truly will find himself exploring the Cumbrian Coast Line soon 😊 I’ve only passed through Carnforth a few times and it’s certainly a beautiful looking station!

The Southern tip of the Cumbrian Coast Line
