Hi folks, Welcome to Nick's Railway Mad where most thing's railway and with an extra bit on top, and you just don't know when I'll capture a video.
Mind you nore do I.
If you love railways, this channel could be for you. If not, it still could be for you.

Huge favor to ask, but if you could, what are the measurements on each pipe? Circumference and length? Do you know what kinda metal its made of? I wanna build one of these instead of paying $700 online for one.
Lovely video , I enjoyed my visit to this railway last week and great to see how it has progressed from its early days.
Our railway company keep moaning that they don't have storage space for trains. This was one big yard they could have kept.
Absolutely brilliant ❤
OMG I nearly passed out with happiness, thanks for dropping the vid ! I might just surprise the wife with a trip to Spar Valley, I'm sure she will love it just as much as I enjoyed being in the lingerie section of Primark for half an hour last week.
"Promo sm" 💯
They get bigger than that one!
I was there at Hastings too! I was with my friend there with the big Tripod! 🤩
There were quite a few people. Can you see yourself in my video?
@@nicksrailwaymad4271 Yes! When 37418 came in, I was at the end of P3, and when it left, I was near the front of Caroline!
How did you find me?
@@nicksrailwaymad4271 Were you the guy with glasses? 🤔
No
That's cool
Thats because hes a fireman
that is Ore Tunnel!
Yeah, Coghurst Woods end.
@@nicksrailwaymad4271 You could have moved position to be level with the tunnel and filmed earlier to see it coming up the tunnel! It is 90% straight!
@pitchykoo_botsalot_yt I could do that with the other tunnels in Hastings. But who would really want to watch a video of waiting for a train coming through the tunnel? I'm not getting much footage atm, but I will be getting back out there.
@@nicksrailwaymad4271 At St Leonards Warrior Square, you can get 2 tunnels at once and at Ore you can get the other!
Great video - just thinking that there are a lot of people that live in Uckfield and Crowborough and work or go to college in Tunbridge Wells there with a bit of joined up thinking couldn’t an agreement be made between Spa Valley, NR and Southern to run a week day morning and evening commercial commuter through service from Uckfield to Tunbridge Wells? Maybe NR could upgrade the Spa Valley section to allow slightly higher speeds
I think the problem with the whole disused rail system is that they keep building on it. They don't think to leave the track beds there for future rail as it gets demanded. I do believe the cuckoo line should have been let. Heathfield and Hailsham are now too big not to have their railway.
Nice sounds they sound like a class 20 locomotive or chopper as I call them you can't beat EE English electric engines from the 1960s nice dmu the thumper units 🥰
where you got this wind chime?
It was a bday present.
where they got it at?
Black Brooks Garden Centre. But you can get them online.
@@nicksrailwaymad4271 ok
gosh this thing is huge!!!!!!!
How late was this filmed in real life I love electrostars southern electric multiple unit in southern livery I remember playing it on train sim world 2 on PS4
This was a couple of years ago. It was the last train at Bognor Regis.
Largest UK spider, is the Raft Spider. But they are SO rare now, almost extinct. Theres a population that conservationists maintain in a pond down south, checked regularly, so they are still here. But I haven't seen one in the wild for over two decades. Used to find one every time my Dad and I took the dogs out near Spurn Point, many years ago. Sadly, not anymore. But yes, the Cardinal has the largest legspan, in excess of 13cm. But the Raft Spider has a larger body, far more dense (if shorter) legs, and they weigh more. They eat small fish and water bugs etc.
Great video mate saw these locos at Hastings. Have you got a job or volunteering at the depot now?
No mate. I'm on something else. I am trying.
How u get on the actual railway
Because what I volunteer on lives in that depot. This is with special permission. If I cross the border I'm trespassing on network rail grounds. This was in the depots boundary.
Oh alright that pretty cool
Lovely aren't they. Cardinals are mainly found down south of England, not sure if I have seen one?. Lots of giant house spiders too. They are easily mistaken for each other, the cardinal has more distinct markings from the very common Eratigena Atrica (giant house spider) which has less distinguished markings.
Cardinals have a larger leg span. In excess of 12cm for the fully grown males. Seen plenty up here in Yorkshire.
Oh, memory, leave me alone. This was one of the numerous locations from which I filmed KESR whilst living in Hastings 2002-2006. On the particular day that springs to mind the Terrier went off towards Rolvendon and the USA came puffing up the hill. Video memories to last a lifetime...I should probably start my own channel...
Im from the uk
Thanks for taking us on the ride.
Hope you enjoyed it.
@@nicksrailwaymad4271 Had fun spotting various parts I know when popping down from Ashford for a visit.
Superb! Haven't ridden on this line since 1982, so really must make a return trip for the thumper.
I needed to know why don’t they just dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can 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 that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Train and 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 bigger and extend it to the 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 a High-Speed train? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Train line to make it 11 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 refurbished 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 brand-new underground train Stations so it could go even further up to Clapton, Wood Street also make another brand new tunnel train Station in Chingford and could they extend the DLR? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended 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 unique small no.13 and unique minor 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 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 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!! And please do something about these very important Professional ideas Please Prime Minister of England, the Prime Minister of Sweden, the Prime Minister of Germany, the Prime Minister of Italy, the Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.
Was this comment meant for here as i feel it's in the wrong place. If you join my Facebook group UndergrounD and put this comment on it you may get an answer. But i do feel that our railway network is in a mess. My big argument is why did the cuckoo line get shut down. Yes it wasn't making money then but now it needs to be put back.
@@nicksrailwaymad4271 I think you are absolutely right about the Cuckoo Line - there is a very small minority of people at the SpVR that would like to see the railway extend down the Heathfield line, so that it can run from Somewhere to Somewhere - maybe even provide a public transport service. I don't know if you have driven on the roads in the Eridge/Rotherfield/Mayfield/Heathfield area in the summer, but it is jam packed with traffic - a living nightmare! I think the railway could help alleviate those traffic problems. Hopefully, as more young people get involved, there will be more support for a southern extension. Great Video - very high production standards, honestly it's up to Broadcast standard. It is so refreshing that you allow the content to do the speaking, without drowning it out with lots of flashy, over-the-top graphics and effects - which so many videographers seem to do these days! Well done, really enjoyed the video, and thank you for sharing. And... keep a weather eye on the Cuckoo line, perhaps write to the railway and suggest that it is extended, get friends and colleagues involved. I think it is the future. Kind Regards & Best Wishes Zac TWITTER: @TheZacDJ
There is a scouting headquarters call Adams wells forgotten how to spell it but know that place as been there for Staint Georges and other evert where get train in morning to high rock and walk on a small footpath to there .
Im glad you watched the video. The analytics shows that people only watch 30 seconds. I was very lucky to get that cab ride.
Lol scouts
¡Hola buenas tardes Nick! Great coverage of the K&ESR. I was over, visiting my daughter and grandsons in Tenterden last October and, took advantage of a Sunday return trip from there to Bodiam. I took quite a lot of video footage myself, as a passenger, whilst riding both of those trains. I’ll be putting it up, on my own channel, sometime soon. In the meantime, stay safe and well. Un saludo. Gary
Thank you. The video would have been longer if i didn't have work. That's the reason why I missed out Bodiam. I'm hoping that they get the connection in my life time.
in Australia these are small size spiders
This is small for a cardinal. The biggest ones are as big as some decent-sized huntsmen.
😅
I've done this a couple of times, the platform is platform 2 not 3.
Wow, that was some length of rail, thanks for sharing.
Makes me wonder how long the steel works is where it came from.
What Is That Place Called
It's inbetween Three Oaks and Doleham. Sorry i didn't put it in the description.
That Train Is Going To Rye
Yeah it's heading to Rye.
@@nicksrailwaymad4271 I Used To Live In Rye Long Time Ago
Spiders are awesome, their silk is a wonder of nature. I hate people who hurt or kill every spider they find! I feed spiders thing I find buzzing around the windows. Spiders are crafts men!
They are everywhere in my house. We have a false widow on the kitchen windowsill. He ain't doing any harm, so he will probably be there for the rest of his day's.
@@nicksrailwaymad4271 That's good, you respect spiders. I have accidently killed 2 spiders as I was on the toilet, I just didn't see them and I felt so bad each time. I have a spider somewhere in my bedroom and I aint going to evict it or hurt it, it will eat nasty bugs you don't want so it's doing me a service! I have always been fascinated by spiders and all the different webs they make. I wish more people liked spiders, there are too many people who stamp on them. I wish they could harvest large amounts of spider silk because it has special properties including an electric charge and antiseptic properties, scientists recon spider silk could stop a bullet so could be used for police, army and security body armour armour or used to build bridges.

Then again there are loads of brown recluses who live in my house. Their bite is nasty, though thankfully they’re very timid.
Love it Nick. Well done.
Thank you Sid.
Was on St Leonards Station it powered out of the tunnel
Yeah i did see that video. I liked it, the Hastings area is hard to video as not much length of track before it either goes through a tunnel or round a bend.
Beautifully clean for ECS.
I couldn't see why the 4TC couldn't run on it's own power.
I will be changing ends in Hastings again tonight, hopefully on time 👍
Was you the driver?
@@nicksrailwaymad4271 yes
How did you find me?
@@nicksrailwaymad4271 was on your back lol
My t-shirt actually works hahaha thanks.
Once this hits 1000 view's I'll up load another shorts.
Yummy!
So many good things in a short video 👍
Thank you for your kind comment, i did manage to get a cab ride on the 207.
@@nicksrailwaymad4271 lucky indeed
I managed to get a video of that as well.
The bloke who waved at 3.00 minutes is Graham Brooker. He helped build the sentinel wagon and was one of the special effects guy's from the film the Mummy.
This demonstrates you don't need to run steam hauled trains every day on a heritage line. After all, when you are a passenger, you can't see the loco! Thanks for uploading.
I absolutely love the 33s and to see this on the line was just amazing. Thank you for your comment.
Can't wait to ride the trains here when I get the chance, been wanting to go Brighton for ages, got some nice looking routes as well.
The view from the viaduct is amazing.
Woah! Thats a big one. I found one almost that size in my house in October.
It sure is, this one is the biggest one I've ever seen in person, but have seen bigger. I think it was an old spider as they are normally quick. This one wasn't fuss and really friendly.
@@nicksrailwaymad4271 The one I found was like that as well, | handled it for a bit before | released it into our shed.

Most common in east anglia. Lucky east anglia…or not.
Sorry forgot the k in thanks Hahaha
yeah that*s cool. do you know a way to find out who has subbed to your channel? Btw, I did some time ago ( or was it the other day? lol I cant remember ) Anyway don't worry if you don't know, was just curious. Keep up the good work and have a good christmas.
Not on android I'm afraid, my son knows how to do it on the computer but it doesn't show you everyone who has subscribed. A lot of subscribers are private, i do know you should get a notification when you pick up a subscriber but this isn't always the case. Have a wonderful Christmas.

What's this got to do with anything?
As soon as I saw "Class 33" I knew I was going to like it!
Well thank you.
Ooh what's the 2nd train at Rolvenden?
You must have missed it, it was a class 108 DMU.
