The station looks a lot different to when we explored it some years back, it was heavily overgrown then. It closed to passengers in 1935, and to goods in 1953 so was pre-Beeching. His report was published in 1963. Anyway, it is great to see the station again, thank you for posting.

Yeah. Funny.

What a great video! I used to take short hikes years ago, and when we would come across old buildings we never thought to go in...loved the cars but honestly I wish you would have popped open those suitcases....thanks for sharing! Luv your pup, too.

Gosh those trunks are what you'd of seen getting loaded onto the Titanic, I wonder if they're lost property? They came to the train station and was never collected,??

How lovely to spend time ambling along with you and lily enjoying the sunshine and countryside. Most enjoyable. Thank you and lily for a refreshing change from watching TV. Best wishes beverley stone Devon.

Have to say out of all the channels featuring explorers I prefer yours and look forward to watching. Good stuff.

Very cool explore!! The tunnel looks very interesting, can't wait to see that video. Lily is a very sweet and well behaved pup! 💜💜

Great video. Theres so much abandoned railway infrastructure in the uk, cuttings, tunnels, embankments...

Very interesting find! Love watching your videos, you are very thorough with your finds and love the fact you also explore outside of the properties. Nothing is rushed nor missed. Looks like you will be exploring that tunnel after all! Good luck!

That was really interesting and you are now obliged to get into that tunnel!!!!! Your little dog is SO gorgeous and well behaved! 😁 Gill

Hi! Absolutely brilliant explore.... thank you so much! The large, brick-built building at around 09:20 is a transshipment shed. Notice the two large doors down to ground level and exactly opposite each other in the end walls. Goods trains would have entered/exited through these. The two doors in the front wall have their bases about three feet off the ground for direct, level loading into lorries. The outside canopy would have kept rain out of the vehicles. The winch inside of the shed would have been used to unload railway wagons onto barrows or trolleys for goods porters to take to the lorries..

Fantastic explore, thankyou for sharing

That place you visit at 19.40 brings back memories of late 80s when in scouts we use to go there at weekend visits doing raft building and night hiking.

Another great find as always think your dog enjoys places you find aswell keep safe mate

Have to say mate, I’ve been subbed to you for some time now. A lot of the channels don’t put a great deal of time and effort into videos. Your channel definitely doesn’t fall in that category.. amazing locations and awesome video editing. Keep up the great work. !! 🏚

For starters, your dog very cute! So good, too! 😊 Wonder if there was anything in those trunks! I would've opened them! Great video! Awesome find!

Loved it all, especially all that lovely brick work

Good Video, enjoyed watching that! Defo need to get in that tunnel to explore 😎

Very interesting video, the kit car is an NG TfF as a few others have noticed, the lobster looks like one of the illumination pieces used at Blackpool illuminations. Keep up the good work and give your intrepid dog a biscuit she deserves it!

The MG is from 1978 and the road tax ran out on 1/7/92 . The kit car is on a Q plate and was registered in 1982 as an MG. For those not in the know Q-plates where given to cars with unknown origin or make such as kit cars,A self-built kit car or Vehicles which have been self-imported, previously written-off,or radically altered vehicles . Q plates are often hard to insure and you cant put private plates on them , once the DVLA have issued a Q-plate you are stuck with it , making selling a Q-plate quite hard . if you make a kit car out of all new parts it is registered with the current years registration not a Q-plate.

Would be fascinating to see some images of that railway station when it was in use. My imagination is taking me back to the 50’s/60’s and how life must of been around that time.

AWESOME MAN JUST FANTASTIC, GREAT FIND, LOVE YOUR VIDS, 🙏👏👏👏❤

I know where that is. It used to be a scrap metal yard at the start. A local museum used to store buildings there and moved them all last year so thats why it has been cleared recently. There are plans to open it up as an extension to an existing footpath. The last bit before the tunnel is a scout camp. Some 41 years ago I planted a fir tree there. You can see it as he pans right after the hut. The scout camp is moving to make way for the footpath to open up. It is owned by local charitable estate.

Really liked this one country side at its finest the down side it looks like you are going in the tunnel my friend 😀xx

hi your sound is spot on now we can hear you with out having to turn it up when you talk keep the vids coming hope you and family all ok and safe

Awesome to see this I live very close. The building with the winch was last used up until around 1990 a guy used to fix/break up land rovers in there. The out building on footpath is a scout camp. The tunnel there has been blocked up for years, just goes under the road to the end of where the cycle track ends. There is alot of other things around that area, more tunnels etc you just have to head up the opposite way to what you went. The main station building is now lived in. Them cars have been there years, the odd looking car is some sort of kit car being on a Q plate. Great video bud

Great companion you have with that little dog.

Thanks Mr.Beard , Great video ! Will be checking out your other ones. Very pretty country. Train station platform is huge for a country stop . Will be waiting for tunnel time 😉 Good luck from the U.S.A!

Guess you get to come back. Lily is adorable.

Such a wonderful explore. New to your channel and subscribed. I think the unknown automobile is a kit car. Such a shame the automobiles left there to rot, can't believe someone would just abandon them. All the work and effort of putting all the bits and pieces together, someone needs to rescue them. Same as the fine old buildings,a small part of history getting taken over by nature. Do be safe and healthy 😉👍😷✌

excellent , and the sound is much better !

Wow nice thank you for sharing xx

Liked the video mate great explore want to see inside that tunnel

Great video bearded explorer,that station definitely looked like it was a main station because of the size of the platforms, great buildings shame they been left to rot 👌😀👍

wow was good explorer .love ur dog seem be have funny to.thank you my friend 100% good vid and find in joy watch look forward next one

Thank you for bringing me the best of the UK to the U.S, I have a new grown fondness for the UK for I’ve always thought of the UK for what I’ve heard people say about it that have been there. I have a fondness for your website and have probably watched just about all of your videos, my favorites are all of them that you have found abandoned cars such as in this one. I really enjoyed the one where you where with all of the Rovers where you got your VW., I’ve come to really like the Rovers due to the fact that the aluminum V8 came from General Motors from the Buick Division, I believe it was the 215 Aluminum nailhead engine. They called it a nailhead because if you take the rocker assembly the tops of the valves look like nails going straight up and down. Anyhow thanks again.

Goes to show, mother nature will always win in the end. Great video.

An interesting explore, quite a bit different to others I've seen and I'm glad your pride and joy escaped unscathed 😁

The railway tunnel and station are on a branch line that shut in 1953 . The station closed in 1935.Good video went to that tunnel in 1993.

Awesome video as always.loving Lily

I'm a American RR fan so I could be wrong. The building with all the doors looks to be some sort of freight house. The platforms are really fantastic. The subway underneath was so passengers could get from one track to another without crossing the tracks

When my dad was younger he drove his car down a derelict train track somewhere in Northamptonshire and went into the tunnel but it was flooded so far in and had to reverse out again could be this very one!Every so often there will be voids you can stand incase a train comes past, it will be good to see what you find in there! 👍🏼

I think the overgrown building with no floor and the fireplace had a water tank on the top to fill the steam locomotives tenders with water. Great explore again.

Don't like to be pedantic, but its a Railway Station, a Railway Line, a Railway Bridge. Trains are what ran on them, not what they are. The media have a lot to answer with the bastardisation of the English Language.

The world is evolving and moving forward... Including languages and communications. If it didn't we would all be speaking old English and taking a hole day to say a sentence.

Great vid.. always meant to go and check this place out.. it was built so big due to a certain sporting venue and the amounts of Victorian's going to visit it.. this was short lived however due to the car and buses etc.. there are several other tunnels on that route for you to explore once you have been back in this one!!

Loving your vids my boy Thanku :)

Station opened in 1881 to service the Goodwood racecourse ; platform was 3/4 mile long ! The crane in the goods shed was used relatively recently to remove car engines apparently.

Its hard to work out that structure as it resembles a) Southern Region substation buildings e.g. Shortlands, Grove Park etc b) one of Brunel's pump houses for when he really liked atmospheric traction or c) an enclosed water tower but the insides don't seem to back up the water tower idea and that would be a vast tank the sort seen at motive power depots like the ones on the Settle-Carlise line that had a little living area for the bloke who had to keep the water warm using fire because of the very cold winter weather up there. That station wasn't some little one either, if you notice two main tracks, twin track bay with one a cattle ramp/wheeled heavy goods and that incredibly long platform aside the main through line suggests some serious passenger expectations. Back to the tank again, even for a sizeable station like that, that huge building would have been way way overkill for the demands of a busy line. The yellow indicator lens I would suggest is a Ford MK1 Transit, York front most likely as they had the single orange lamps, the V4's had them and split white and yellow discs for sidelight running and parking lights as back then parking lights were a thing in the UK due to the fogs and smogs. The windlass crane would have loaded goods from shunted in rail wagon to lorry/tractor loaded trucks, basically a very small version of windlass cranes found on old sea freighters, very strong and cheap to make too. The station may well have had its own Scammell mechanical horse assigned to it as British Railways had a vast fleet of these insane three wheeled lorries which I can remember as a kid them crisscrossing London like loonies, I live down in Dorset now and the only fun rail local is the class 159's...

These buildings are so architecturally beautiful and still solid they could be made into homes....as for that crane winch that is like something I've seen in boat museums...the suitcases were ribbed and really good quality they'd be a designer in Chelsea that would pay good money for them...the wooden dashboard just sat there in GRT condition.

The fact that the platforms are very long for a country station and that a subway was provided tell us that this station was quite an important one in its` day. A very enjoyable explore even from here. How many platforms were there in total? I have an idea that to your left as you walked along there may have been more, not sure. I also think I have worked out where this is but I`m not saying, lol. One of your best yet. PS. Just been to your surmised station house on Google Earth and that was indeed the main station building at this location, now a private dwelling. Lots of proving pics available

The old roadster car is a mid 90s kit car made by a company called NG. It’s at TD Or TA. Based on either old mg roadster suspension or Morris marina parts. There are still a lot of them on the road but if it has no reg plate or chassis plate then it’s of no use. Can’t be road registerd

Not necessarily true, but it will need to go through IVA inspection at the very least. ....and its an NG TC

Westfield would be close - I seem to remember the shape as an old kitcar, possibly from the early 80s. Perhaps they were using the building as garage space?

The shed with the doors is the goods shed. The doors on the end were where the railway wagons would enter, the crane (winch) would be used to lift freight out of the wagons, the doors on the side is where the lorry's would load and unload.

Great watch, dead interesting really worth sitting down and watching 🙂

The green car must be a NG TC Kitcar with MGB Engine and Gearbox, the company produced cars from 79- 89

The first building is a goods shed, with the original crane , the track would have run through it, and goods loaded from the railway wagons were then loaded onto road vehicles...

In the tunnel you go buddy. Cheers. James

Mate when you paned over i litterally said omg at the same time hahaha Great content man.

Take care if u venture into that tunnel , great video by the way 😀

I'd say the first building, the one packed with the insulation was likely the goods warehouse for the line back in the day.
