The Least Served Stations on the East Coast Mainline

I am now aware that it is called a "Harrington Hump"!

Now I want to hear Adam Chase shouting "We're in the Snack Shack BABYYYYY!" 😆

Good to see a Jet Lag reference in there!

The snack….shack! I understood that reference 😂

Love the Snack Zone reference!!!!! you two are cultured

It'd be great to see the two of you against the Jet Lag regulars in some sort of UK rail challenge after this 😀

You guys are the modern day Geoff and Vicki

I did visit Acklington once back in September years ago and was getting dark then but I love the Chathill service as it very quirky and hoping to visit Pegswood and Widdrington this Summer (Date is set and Hotel is booked) as I haven't visited those stations yet. Also love that there was conflict with that Charter train. great video Nick

When I did Acklington I walked it from Alnwick. Similarly, when I did Pegswood and Widdrington I got an earlier train to Morpeth, walked to Pegswood, rode to Widdrington and then rode back all the way home from Widdrington.

Acklington is a pretty little Northumberland village.... with a huge high security prison in the middle of it!

"I remember" Acklington, it was a sunny day in the mid seventies, there was still a ticket office where the clerk had company of his golden retriever.He gave me a bicycle LNER ticket still amongst the Edmondsons. Never thought another LNER would come along nearly 50 years later.

I admire your girlfriend's optimism about Ashington being a nice place. She's in for a surprise.

We’re in the snack zone with this one Jet lag fans 👇

More stations, especially at ones where a stopper service affects other services too much, should adopt passing loops where stopping trains have an extra pair of lines that split off from the main line to let passing services... pass. It's a huge problem for the Liverpool to Manchester south route (CLC). Speaking of, Merseyrail really should adopt a line from Lime Street to Warrington Bank Quay (low level) via Fiddler's Ferry. It's such low cost, could free up the CLC line more, accesses underserved or superior locations when compared to the CLC and Merseyrail lines, the rails are all intact and basically unused... and it follows the Mersey!!

I was not expecting a Snack Zone ripoff in this video, what a nice surprise. (Also GO TEAM BADAM!)

Loving the reference to jetlag, whatever next a guest appearance ? 😂

6:35 for some reason the northern announcer on civities also adds a LOT of emphasis on lime compared to liverpool and street

Yet another phenomenally entertaining and well made ‘ticking off stations’ video! Quite a feat to do these 3 in a day so congrats to you!

A great video. i really enjoyed you travelling and showing us the three stations plus a village. The charter train looked so cool that passed through.

I am a (ex) native of those parts. It may interest you to know the brick structure at 10:13 is the remains (the machine room part) of Widdrington Station signal box. When I was a very young lad (4-5 years) I got friends with the son of the signalman there and got to spend a few hours in the box as he was working traffic. (A lot of steam still, in those (early 60s) days. And some A4s still in service.) I was completely fascinated by it, and the memories remain vivid to this day. I have a good photo of the box as it was if you are interested and you let me know how to share it with you. (I don't think you share an email here on YT that I can see). Good to have just discovered your channel!. I am looking forward to catching up with more! Mike (ex of Northumberland, now living in the USA these past 40 years). p.s. The name of the town the station serves . . . is "Widdrington Station" . . . that's the town name; so you really visited "Widdrington Station station," not "Widdrington station." Or, put another way, you visited the towns of Morpeth, Pegswood, Widdrington Station, and Acklington on your (very enjoyable) video.
