Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. This railway had been lifted and consigned to history until a group of determined volunteers got together to set about rebuilding the line we enjoy today. It's a real working museum, we owe our gratitude to those early pioneers and all the people who make the railway the awesome experience it is today.

Like most of the preserved lines in Britain, the K & ESR only have a very few paid staff (many in essential admin posts); the great majority of those working there are unpaid volunteers.

Hello Barry, we are lucky here in the UK to have so many wonderful heritage railways, they are all different in character, this one was part of a ramshackle empire of light railways kept going well past their sell by dates by the charismatic Colonel Stephens, using a fascinating mixture of second hand locomotives and rolling stock, along with support from local communities and I dare say a bit of creative accounting. The enthusiast railways of the UK owe a lot to Colonel Stephens, he was responsible for keeping railway alive long enough for the infant preservation movement to step in and save them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._F._Stephens

This was a lovely journey through the picturesque countryside of England. I thoroughly enjoyed the sound of the steam loco, the signs that said whistle in crucial spots, the gates that open and close the tracks. Takes me back in time. 🛤👍🤗

Hello Larissa, I'm pleased you enjoyed riding this train through the pretty rural Kent countryside. The operation of the railway is fascinating, because unlike a mainline railway this line was constructed to be operated as a light railway with far less onerous safety requirements, hence why you see the train staff operating some of the railway gates. Best wishes. Tim.

I used to ride my push bike from Chichester to the Longmoor Military camp in the hope of one day seeing a train, I never did, but I remember looking through holes in the engine shed to see David Shepard's "Black Prince" next to the LMR locomotive "Gordon", now at the Severn Valley Railway, I seem to remember an odd looking engine on a length of track outside some official looking buildings, I believe it carried a name like "Gazelle". Years later I saw a lot of "Green Goddess" fire engines inside one of the buildings. The nearest I got to seeing a train moving was watching "the St Trinians Train Robbery" happy days indeed.

Delightful and relaxing. Lovely spring views and the cutest little engine!

When the railway magazines (no internet back then) reported the next section to open, I'd visit with my camera to record the occasion, just one more section to go and the railway will once more be connected to the national network. I hope you enjoy visiting again, it is still one of the most welcoming and friendly railways I visit, maybe the fireman will stand aside to let you shovel coal into the firebox for old time’s sake.

Hello Keith, it's nice to hear from you, I enjoyed the trip and commentary on your recent trip with Paul. I was visiting the K&ESR on one of their behind the scenes tours where you get to see what it takes to run a railway, it was a really good day out and I was fortunate that the driver allowed me to fix a camera to his engine. I've followed the rebirth of the line almost from the first trains in preservation back in the mid 70's and I have to say it has matured into a first class tourist attraction, especially with the added bonus of Bodiam Castle to visit, there is optimistic talk of trains once again serving Robertsbridge in the not too distant future, this line really captures the essence of a Colonel Stephens Railway. My favourite Bluebell Railway event is their Model Railway Weekend, always a good show. Take care and stay safe. Tim 😊.

That was great, Tim, and more interesting than I expected. There's still a lot of railway infrastructure there, and the countryside of course is delightful. My only knowledge of the railway before was seeing a train in the distance on a visit to the castle, and driving over one of the level crossings.

That's a nice little ride which was fun to watch. Thanks. I also liked the way you incorporated the "01" in the landscape at the start as though it was part of the channel name. Editing to add, the gates take me back to my younger days when there were gates near the railway station in my town, but they were only opened on "show" days so that people could more easily get to the football (Aussie Rules) park where the show used to be held. The show has since been moved to a race track on the edge of town and the old gates have been removed and a permanent fence has replaced them. It's safer that way since there are around 4 tracks to cross and one is used 6 times per day. The other tracks are shunting tracks.

Hi, it's changed a bit since the sixties, yet the area still retains an olde worlde atmosphere. The cray fish ponds are abandoned and many of the fruit trees and Hop fields have disappeared, some have been replace with vines, most importantly the countryside has not disappeared under yet more new housing as is happening in many places along the South Coast. I remember that "Challenge Anika" episode. A walk around Tenterden Town, a ride behind a steam train, followed by a visit to Bodiam Castle and maybe even a steam boat ride, it's hard to think of a better way to spend a day. I first visited the line in 1975, since then I have enjoyed watching the line reopen to Bodiam.

I may be biased, but I think Britain has the best heritage railway scene to be found anywhere in the world, the one good thing to result from the axe Dr Beeching took to Britain's railways was the plethora of picturesque branch lines available for enthusiast to rescue, coupled to Dai Woodhams scrap yard deciding to wait for the price of steel to rise before cutting up locomotives, resulting in over 100 steam locomotives being available to restore. You grew up next to a very interesting main line, bet you've got some wonderful memories from those far off days. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. Seasons Greetings. Tim.

It's been a while since I spent time in the area visiting the railways you mention, I'll have to make a point of staying for longer sometime this year. I was visiting the line on one of their "behind the scenes tours" and our guide was optimistic about restoring services to Robertsbridge saying that most of the hurdles had been overcome, just one or two to sort out, including purchasing a stretch of track-bed currently in private hands. I would certainly consider asking the operating department at the line if they would allow me to mount a camera to record the reopening of the line to Robertsbridge, although I would guess they will be making their own video to celebrate the occasion. They are a really nice bunch of people at the K&ESR, I look forward to visiting again.

Lovely video, a reminder of when we lived in Peasmarsh 20 years ago, and regularly crossed the railway at Northiam. One detail I don't understand -- the train passed at least two signals that were off, i.e. clear, for the opposite direction on the single line. Explanation, anyone?

@Timsvideochannel1

2 жыл бұрын

Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed this trip down memory lane. I looked at the signals at 28:51 and 30:02 they are set in the off position for a train from the opposite direction, I have only ever seen this when a signal box is switched out and the section is operated under one train in section rules, but that doesn't explain the signal at 33:01 unless it is operated locally to allow a train to enter the station or a signaled section. This kind of explains things - signalbox.org/block-system/closing-the-box/ When a box is switched out, all the signals operated by that box are left in the off position to allow trains to pass through as if the signal box and it's signals didn't exist. I was also interested to see no signals after that at 33:01 all the way to Bodiam, this suggests that this stretch of line is normally operated under one train in section rules. I hope this helps, maybe someone in the signaling department can confirm my explanation. PS: it is perfectly safe to operate under one train in section rules.

Hi, I hope this video bought back good memories from your own trips to the line. I picked up a guide book in which there is an article about restoring the missing link, it reads "To date five new bridges have been installed and flood erosion measures have been taken.

Hi, you are correct with both sightings of Bodiam castle. This is a video from a few years ago in which we take time to visit the castle - kzread.info/dash/bejne/k3auzJOLes6epqQ.html

These wonderful railways not only help us understand the past, they help us understand evolution, yesterday the horse drawn waggon-way, next the steam locomotive, today a tilting electric high-speed train, tomorrow ? I love technology, Britain is often a leader in tomorrows world. Today I'm operating a computer controlled milling machine, over 40 years ago I had to look at dials and count revolutions. It's the things I did in the past that help me understand the future.

Thanks for posting. But it's not the driver's eye view as mentioned in the description.

Hi, "No" it's not a true "driver's eye view", but it is a term the KZread algorithm likes, if I describe it as a "forward view" the algorithm won't recommend it, resulting in only a small number of people seeing it. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive my little white lie 😌.

Why the hand signal at Cranbrook Road crossing? ( I did a stint on that crossing one blistering hot Kent summer )

@Timsvideochannel1

I see similar signals used on secondary railway lines at East European stations where it is an indication that everything is OK for the train to pass, I can only guess the green flag you see in this video has a similar function. I assume there was no green flag required when you worked the crossing, has much changed since that hot summer when you worked on the KESR?

This is such a nice video. It is precious. I will be watching again and have subscribed. Now let me say that you could be using a better camera for all of the beauty you have to present. You should watch RailCowGirl doing train videos in Norway and use the same camera equipment that she uses. It would make your very nice video into an excellent production.

Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I use the same cameras as railcowgirl does for a lot of her videos (GoPro 8 and 9), although I suspect she is better at selecting the correct settings, she also uses a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K whereas I use a Sony AX53. She has one massive advantage in that she is a train driver, giving her the opportunity to fine tune her settings over a number of runs at different times of the day. I am just a member of Joe Public and I rely on the kindness of drivers resulting in me having to set things up real quick and hope I've remembered to turn the camera on. I use the factory setting most of the time, although not ideal, I know I'm going to get a result I can alter if need be when I edit the video. I try to mount the camera on the outside of the loco if I can, sometimes this does result in too much wind noise, I have just ordered a WindSlayer from Amazon to try and improve the situation. There are a couple of settings in the camera I'll experiment with after reading suggestions from other GoPro users. I have used GoPro's since the GoPro Hero 2, they all suffer to some degree if the primary colour in the scenery is green whereas they deal well with lighter colours such as snowy scenes and rocky mountain terrain. Feedback is always welcome and I try to do what I can camera wise within my financial limitations, this channel is just a hobby, the money I earn from KZread makes a useful contribution, but I'm lucky if it covers a third of my costs and I don't feel comfortable asking viewers to contribute financially to my channel as many other creators do these days.

Hello Robert, I looked up the diamond crossings and found this article - www.amusingplanet.com/2016/08/unusual-drawbridge-railway-crossing-in.html they are fascinating, never seen anything like it before. The K&ESR was originally a cross between a tramway and railway, often referred to as light railway. It was built to serve several smaller tramways and terminals used to transport agricultural products from the area, such as hops, cob nuts and apples, as time passed the lorry took over, leaving the railway with no real purpose, happily it survived long enough for the then infant enthusiast movement to realise its potential and save it for all to enjoy today.

Hi, this is a heritage railway, a working museum that runs on most days throughout the summer and at weekends during the Spring and Autumn, there are also special Santa trains at Christmas. The line was originally closed to passenger traffic in 1954 and all traffic in 1961 after which most of the track was lifted. A preservation society took over and created the wonderful working museum we see today. For more information please click on this link - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_and_East_Sussex_Railway

I see the "whistle" signs and I'm wondering what they're for. Obviously they tell them to use the whistle, but why? In America, we have a W sign that means the same thing, but it's for the crew to sound the horn in an approach to a level crossing with a road, but I don't see any crossings coming up where the whistle signs are.

The train passes several semaphore signals showing all clear for traffic travelling in the opposite direction. This is somewhat disconcerting until one remembers that the driver has the token.

It is odd to see the signals cleared for the opposite direction, this happens when a signal box is switched out (off). It's signals effectively no longer exist so they are all set to the clear position.

Nice one, thanks. Quality camera in use but - it seems - insufficient memory card that can not follow the camera 4k data flow and is losing pictures. This is why video does not run smooth and video sticks. Which than makes it unpleasant to watch. Otherwise: perfect, interesting and beautiful line, full of nature and it's colors and if filmed ''in a right way'' that this would be a perfect, high quality railway video. All this makes me sad seeing that the very same mistake is repeated again and again. A lot of resources are spent and videos are made that could be easily done much better and - as consequence - last much longer. Insulting anyone was not the purpose of my comment. I wish you all the best.

I wanted to know why don’t they dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so they extend the unused abandoned underground stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and remix and make them all together and also redesign them overhead line and also make them into 5 cars per unit and also having 2 Disabled Toilets on those 5 cars per unit A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into a 11 car per unit so it could have less doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it more bigger and extend it to bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Train tunnel into an High Speed train. The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Train line to make it 8 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbish 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 37 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project that is OK for London Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build a brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street and also make another brand new tunnel train stations in Chingford and could they extend the DLR. All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel five carriages to disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extend doing roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and they can order Every 17 Octagon and Hexagon shape LNER diagram and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 117MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 117MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units can they use those class 40’s, class 44’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 16 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 16 Tonnes for all of the 117MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so Please make sure that the Builders can do as they are Told!!

Hello, Your video suffers from the default settings of the cameras which do not restore the dynamic range of the sensor, already not huge, hence the loss of detail in the shadows, the sky, and unrealistic colors. So as it is general, here is what I could gather as advice. absolutely prohibit Gopro 7, 8,9,10 with standard states Bit Rate-Standard Shutter-Auto EV Comp-0 White Balance - Auto ISO Min - 100 ISO Max - 1600 Sharpness-High Color-Gopro or "natural" wind "AUTO" OK with theses states: HIGHT Rate-Standard fort GoPro 8,9,10 Shutter-Auto EV Comp-1 outdoor, -1.5 -2 in forest for all GoPro White Balance - FIXED 5500K ISO Min - 100 ISO Max - 400 for all GoPro Sharpness-LOW GoPro 8,9,10 Color-FLAT for all GoPro Sharpness-MEDIUM is OK ONLY fort highest definition. Otherwise always bad (for exemple with GoPro10 BAD in 4K, good ONLY 5.3K, GoPro 8 BAD in2.7K good only in 4K) wind "NO" post-production: export with gamma 1.05 - 1.15 to compensate for the overall lack of brightness in low and medium light. With the osmo pocket 2 I don't know if "vent-auto" is deactivated, but you shouldn't use the "standard" color profile which reduces the dynamics too much, and makes shadows and highlights unrecoverable. You have to use the D-cinelike color mode. If you don't readjust it looks a little gray, but even so, especially for the city, it's better, at least you can see almost everything. Use the histogram to adjust the blacks and whites in post-production so that it doesn't get clipped. the sharpness seems optimized for the finest image frame possible near the resolution limit of the sensor, otherwise too coarse and excessive emphasizes edges and bleeds colors.
