Do you know the station?

Every so often I release a some additional videos with unseen or unedited footage. Out takes, bloopers or genuine behind the scenes stuff that shows what goes into filming the main videos.
I release these as members only videos to give my fantastic channel members something extra.
Anyway, here are all the videos in one playlist.

A long tiring day, but plenty of filming done.
I set off this morning at 07:45 (Gordo walked at 06:30) to drive to to Pickering to meet Phil.
Lost Railway Towns of Pickering and Kirkby Moorside ticked off.
Then further up north to Ingleby Greenhow to climb the Ingleby incline.
Ps. That was steep. Stunning location though.
Back to Whitby at 19:30 for some fish and chips 🙂
...so. what will tomorrow bring?

Are we ready for the next Lost Railway Town?
This is one of my late father's photos, taken in this location in July 2000. Exactly 26 years to the week that I visited to film my video.
It's another town that lost it's railway, before a preservation movement allowed the railway story to live on.
Welcome to Ramsbottom.
Video will be released Monday evening, or available now to all channel members.

I hope you've been enjoying the 'Lost Waterways of South Yorkshire' series.
So far we've followed the Dearne & Dove Canal all the way from Swinton, deep into the heart of industrial Barnsley.
In our next video, that industry (or the lack of it) takes centre stage as we pass through Stairfoot. Once a maze of railways, collieries, factories and heavy industry. Today...you would never recognise it as the same place.
Thursday 17:30 on the Wobbly Runner YouTube channel.
