There's a video Geoff did that's not part of All The Stations about how when he was younger other people teased him for being a "train spotter" and he later realised not just that being a "train spotter" isn't bad, but that's not what he is, he does kinda like trains, but mostly as this series illustrated Geoff is interested in the infrastructure like stations, the trains just run on it.

He also does videos for Londonist Ltd. which is all about Transport for London. So you'll see Docklands Light Railway, the Overground, and of course the Underground.

These video are great, about 10 mins each. Great history facts, great trivia and such nuggets. Warning: It can turn anyone in to a (Underground) geek.

I've never been a huge rainfan but he is just so passionate about the topic, they are very well done videos.

Can you link that video? I've seen much of his stuff but haven't come about this one yet.

I'm guessing it's this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALd-ApLeIxQ

It's a beautiful video

Yup, that's what I was thinking of.

I can't find the video OP means but in this All The Stations series there's brief mention of his not being a 'Puffer Nutter' in this video:

This is a great series, and they manage to point out a lot of the oddities of the UK rail system.

They also busted my myth that Gloucester station has the longest platform. (It's pretty flipping long though.)

Geoff has a bunch of videos about the details of stations or ticket systems.

> "I don't understand how we can still be in England."

That would be because they were in Cornwall. Many locals (jokingly or optimistically) say that Cornwall is not in England.

Sort of related: I gave a talk about calculating the distance between all the railway stations in Britain in the 1950s using an early computer: http://blog.jgc.org/2012/10/the-great-railway-caper-big-data...

A bit related: just last weekend I learned about [0] a YouTube channel that shows railroad crossing in (mainly) The Netherlands: https://www.youtube.com/user/SAjustusSA

The most viewed video has 16M views which seems spectacular and at the same time totally logical to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rTJjIsKTa0

[0]: Thanks, Dutch Vice: https://www.vice.com/nl/article/xw55yn/een-youtubekanaal-vol...

Wait why does this video have 16mm views for a train crossing??

Sadly they don't actually show every single station in the videos, but it's still a great series to watch nonetheless!

What about Northern Ireland?

You're confusing Great Britain and the United Kingdom.
