Excellent video Sarah, well researched as always Please don't take any notice of those idiots, they are the real freaks

Have finished the video after about 4 shifts… I too had an incident in Aslockton. Mine was a furious old lady who didn’t want me to park my car in the station car park. It must attract unfriendly people that village…

Good Video,had to work out the freight train.

@lastofthebrownies 6 месяцев назад

Botty station! I know it well. Used to have a dreadful Sunday service. Lovely chip shop in the village.

Great catch on the 60, Sarah, still not seen one in the wild myself. How dare those youfs!? Don't they know you're SarahWithTheTrains?! 😮

@sarahwiththetrains 6 месяцев назад

Last saw a 60 at Nottingham a few years ago so was surprised to see one when filming this! I know how dare they 😂

@teecefamilykent 6 месяцев назад

@craiglogistics2092 6 месяцев назад

I really enjoyed this vlog Sarah, when are you going to do part 2 from Grantham to Skegness (nice station at Heckington)

@sarahwiththetrains 6 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it! There certainly will be more parts to the series!

@micchaelhiggins3667 6 месяцев назад

A fantastic video, more singing please. xx

@sarahwiththetrains 6 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it! I'll try to come up with more songs in the future 😄

@alienzombie1819 6 месяцев назад

yet another enjoyable video, can’t wait for the next one. PS you sing better than me 😊

@sarahwiththetrains 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it! The singing was very much the best take I could get! There was another version where I was out of breath so I couldn't bring myself to use it 😂

@SBCBears 6 месяцев назад

Hi Sarah "Freak"!? You've got to be kidding. They need glasses. Sarah is a doll, but then I've a soft spot for gingers. 😍 😃

@sarahwiththetrains 6 месяцев назад

You're too sweet! 😊

Supposedly, my parents got engaged at Grantham station. I think one of them turned 21 as it turned midnight as the train reached Grantham, probably 3rd April 1942. Philip Heselton

@sarahwiththetrains 6 месяцев назад

That's such a lovely story!

@davidhamm7909 6 месяцев назад

Grantham AKA Mrs Thatcher land 😔. I’m glad you’re still standing when you got to Elton 😂

@sarahwiththetrains 6 месяцев назад

Ah yes I did think of the 'Iron Lady' when I was at Grantham as aside from the station it's about all I knew of the place!

@carlwilson1772 6 месяцев назад

Great video Sarah. Presumably Poacher line because of Lincolnshire Poacher, the song.. The tune of which announced one of the most notorious Numbers Stations.

@jamfjord 6 месяцев назад

Ooh, Number Stations, now there's a rabbit hole...

@sarahwiththetrains 6 месяцев назад

I wasn't aware of the Lincolnshire Poacher song but have looked it up as well as Numbers Stations and heard the recording of that station! I suspect if I let myself I may fall down the rabbit hole of researching Numbers Stations!

@carlwilson1772 6 месяцев назад

@@sarahwiththetrains Numbers Stations are an endless source of fascination. The Lincolnshire Poacher was a British one which seemed to be based in Cyprus. There were quite a few East German ones, and Soviet ones. A famous Soviet one was "The Russian Woodpecker". It wasn't in Russia but in Ukraine, and wasn't really a true numbers station. It was an over the horizon radar system that was near Chernobyl. A huge antenna array that when operating causes a series of wooden sounding clicks on the short wave band at various frequencies. Hence the Woodpecker epithet. I well remember as a teen in the 80s listening on the short wave radio that I'd built and hearing, these strange, disembodied voices reciting numbers. All presaged by odd sounding spooky music. It was otherworldly.

61016 has many variations because it keeps customers alert to the message. Else it merges into our minds. So, if you see something..ll

@MichaelSebastianTodd 6 месяцев назад

brilliant vlog Grantham looks like an awesome station to film trains especally those LNER AZUMAS & other express trains passing & im loving all the other stations & Bingham toen centre looks amazing & im loving those 170 turbostars

@sarahwiththetrains 6 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed the video! I love seeing the Azumas and the Grand Central 180s passing through Grantham!

@cliffordperry62 6 месяцев назад

wonderful video, lovely signing, NOT a freak - just you :) Thanks for sharing!

@scottjones3782 6 месяцев назад

Sarah - thanks for doing this one - I’d been waiting a long time for it as it’s an interesting line for sure. Keep them coming as they are very informative and good to watch - due to content like this I now watch far more utube than regular tv - good work!

@sarahwiththetrains 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed it! I'm really looking forward to visiting the stations heading up to Skegness!

@scottjones3782 6 месяцев назад

Yes it will be interesting to see the rest of it - a great line.

@dcarter3921 5 месяцев назад

Ashlockton, I bet it's those kids from the local school going home to the next stop. They can be rowdy but once or twice I've told a little smart one to, well, why he should remain silent towards me and his mates laughed at him. They don't even stick together, lol.

@MarkBinning 6 месяцев назад

Great video Sarah !

@Sim0nTrains 6 месяцев назад

Great video Sarah, honestly that singing was quite good and those idiots who yelled freak at you, was really uncalled for and possibly too lazy to come up with new material, but hope you okay after that Sarah.

@sarahwiththetrains 6 месяцев назад

Hi Simon! Glad you enjoyed it! Absolutely fine after the encounter with the youngsters. I very literally shrugged and walked off.

@ReecesTrains 6 месяцев назад

Great video Sarah! I've passed through Grantham on the way down to London from Leeds!

@fussyboy2000 6 месяцев назад

Great video. Well done for half ticking off Elton & Orston. You need to do arrive and depart by different trains for it to be a full tick! There's a footpath on the map alongside the River Smite that would cut out quite a bit of the country lane walk. Is the pub at Orston any good?

@sarahwiththetrains 6 месяцев назад

If I go again I'll have to check out the footpath! Can't comment on the pub I'm afraid as was only passing!

@ianr 6 месяцев назад

Great enjoyable video! Ditto my comments elsewhere. 👍🙂

@ReubenAshwell 6 месяцев назад

Brilliant video Sarah, that station master was a very naughty one indeed. Lovely to see that Class 60 at Ashlockton. I did visit Elton and Orston and Bottesford back in 2022 but I was with other people and one had a car to drive us to Elton and Orston back then. :)

@robertwilloughby8050 6 месяцев назад

Did you accidentally invoke a nuclear attack during the sped-up sequence at Bottesford? That funny noise was VERY disconcerting! Very good otherwise, keep up the good work🙂😉

@LOUNGE-ROOM-REGGAE 6 месяцев назад

Hi Honey. I've put your charming little song to music. How can I get it to you ?

@sarahwiththetrains 5 месяцев назад

Hi! Oh wow that sounds brilliant! If you have RU-vid open in a browser rather than the mobile app you should be able to see my business email address in the 'About' section on my profile 🙂
