Hello sun's out which has caught me out
because an hour ago when I left Corrour it was raining it's up with my rain jacket on
Oh obviously what with this being Scotland just wait 20 minutes and the weather changes and the
sun's come out it's delightful yeah at Corrour right now doing a video there Vicky's doing a
video there we do make a fuss of Corrour because obviously it is an incredible station and just like
a magical place to visit but don't forget there are other stations on the west highland line going
up to foot William and to Malaika and I thought I'd do some of these today and I spotted in the
time table that Roy bridge has got a little X next to it which means that it's a request stop
however I'm not currently at Roy bridge I'm at now I want to say Spain bridge imagine
a Geordie Newcastle accent saying Spain and you have Spain SP EAN there's no restaurant
there's an old she missed an old signal box there's an odd sort of luggage trolley over
there it's it's fairly quaint Vicky was here she would be giving it some of that yeah instead I'm
gonna walk down the road to Roy bridge which is a request stop but only for the sleeper
but I'll explain that more and I get there so I've got an hour and three quarters to walk
down the main road and this is a bus or a taxi to get to Roy bridge that's where we're heading
things to know about my walk to Roy bridge is that one there's a mountain over there
secondly there's no pavement so I'm walking on the road which means that
quite often there's no cars and then occasionally a car passes so after 5.3
7k and 53 minutes of walking you get to a sign that says station
welcome to Roy bridge have just walked from Spain bridge that way Tulloch and corral
this back that way and I got about 40 minutes until the train arrives
there's some extremely uneven steps this is great in all video producers slash editors
nightmare can you hear somewhere over there someone's got a lawnmower going
cuz it's a residential area that's got a really annoying me the whole video
I can't see it I can hear it I think it's one of those sit on wall Mo's if that keeps up the
whole video that will really irritate me I just want to head straight for the shelter because I
want to demonstrate something that's in here what Caledonian sleeper have done along the length of
the line and this is really about the sleep though because it's only refreshments by virtue of the
sleeper are they've installed these touch screens which isn't working Serco couch sleeper would you
like to come and have repair your touch screen at Weybridge good it's not working I want to look at
the Train times board here now to demonstrate quite clearly that yes it's served generally
by three Scott Braille training today it'll be like a little class one five six print to come
through in a minute if you look at the timetable the Caledonians later it's an interesting thing
yes it's a sleeper train but it's only a sleeper train up to sorry up to or down from Glasgow so
when it runs on the Fort William branch coming down to Glasgow as I could do later I'm getting
them on before but you can't just get on it as a local service or after Glasgow from like I think
it's a bluey now it must be from maybe Helensburgh Arthur going up to four with him you can get on
it as if it were a local train but the odd thing is that if you look at the timetable you can see
here as it comes through a Troy bridge at 9:31 it has an X by it whereas the other trains the
local Stoppers the sprinters are not requests stops but there's the sleeper is a request stop
and then yet coming back down in the evening is left foot William at 1950 it comes through here
at 2017 and again there's an X by it and none of the others on this bit do so just Roy bridge just
for the sleeper is a request up I say none of the others but you're looking down are Louie is in the
same thing in the description I've put a link to my website where I've got this all detailed you
should download my request stop map I do intend to get round all the request stops slowly hundred
237 spy 100 1342 average which would be funny I continue 3712 people come to the use of work
which station and 2017-18 statistics divide that by 3 6 5 Berlin approximate a figure just over 10
passengers per day you just have you see ever there quite clearly up to the 1960s a second
platform who knows how is this work because there was like a signal box another route my stuff I'm
robbing buildings over there and obviously when that got stripped out those houses got played I
wonder whether when the house with the lawnmower this side got plain it's just real it's gonna be
the one with the doorknob please stop I'm not making this up I've walked out this end of the
platform to escape the Launer which is over there and in the house here in the back garden there's
someone else for the long run there really is it's too lawn mowers we're just gonna have to
rename Roy bridge to like lon central or something you couldn't make it up really
one minute 42 seconds to walk the length I'm a little bit confused by the help point
because there's a button that says button not in use and so and it actually what does
that mean does that mean that buttons on use I would that's the button I'm
just confused by the labeling as to which button you're actually supposed to press
I'm trying to think of another station I'm trying Horton autumn is coming I'm
trying to think of another station where there's a bench seats that is this close
and perpendicular to the platform also with the rickety steps there's no way
that anyone is gonna bounce a bike down I just don't see this bike rack being used
much and why would you sit here when there's a nice Pleasant wait and remember they're
interesting and yes there is a bin can you hear that can you hear that listen listen
seriously it was quiet for like 30 seconds and on cue that sounds like a hedge trimmer right bridge
you're not as cute as spin bridge span bridge but you're another request stop ticked off Thanks
on the trip meant to corral and let's have a new span berridge android bridge all the bridges
you
