Walking the old Cranleigh to Christ's Hospital Railway!

Hello, thank you for joining me. Today I am in Cranleigh in Surrey, largest settlement in the county without a railway station. The railway station used to be just over there behind the shops and in today's video I'm going to walk along that old railway from here all the way to Christ's Hospital. It's about 10 miles. In part one I walked the first section of the railway from Shalford to Cranleigh. That was a few months ago. I've been wanting to do this all summer. Life's generally got in the way, but here I am today. I need to get behind the shops and find the old railway. Let's go to Christ's Hospital. I was just over there a moment ago. Here is the main car park and this is basically the site of the station. Now there's not really a lot or anything to see of Cranleigh railway station, but we'll find some better examples of surviving stations as we go along the line. The interesting I do wander there along the back of shops. That looks like that could be a bit of old platform but I'm not sure. Maybe some of my viewers could comment and tell me. The actual path runs along behind there. I don't think there's a way out. I could go along there behind the shops. I'm going to go around, head off in that direction, go along the old railway. Next station is Baynards. That's quite a famous well-known station. Let's go and find Baynards. Here we are on the old track bed. Proper, just heading out of Cranleigh after where I was a moment ago. Passed a bit of a recreation ground and then the path begins. Yeah and I remember this from last time I was here. See it was in winter last month. Look there's remains up there of a signal so that was possibly the distant signal for Cranleigh station. So that's quite an interesting survivor. When I came here when I was doing Largest down to Cranley Railway Station. I remember seeing it then so I was expecting to see it. I walked a little way along here but didn't have time to go to the hospital so isn't that quite exciting the first real railway artifact we found today and part of an old signal post still surviving, part of the arm still there guarding the approach to Cranley. I've got another 10 miles of this so I better get going. I'm on my way out of Cranley. We're now on a rather low embankment. You can just see some fields down there and we're just coming to our first overbridge. I'm not going to show you every bridge we pass but let's find the first one. It just seems like you feel like you're really getting going. You can see there's a bit of a hump so that's where the brickwork would still be. But the track bed each side has, or the embankment should I say, has worn away. Modern houses are cropping up. I'm not going to go too much about reopening the line in this video because I think I've done that in largest town to Cranley Railway Station and in part one. But it probably won't ever happen. But if it did, one idea was a tram from Crawley into Guildford. Not Crawley, Cranley, sorry. Crawley is that way. Different video for a different day. Another one, I'm going to go down here because I want to have a look at this bridge from the... See what it looks like from down here, it's over a river so I don't think we can go under it. Anyway, I think if it's reopened it'd be worth reopening it as a through route because obviously you give Cranley a railway station but also, and they can travel to Guildford and London, they can also travel down to the south coast to join the Arun Valley line at Christ's Hospital. As I say, houses keep being built, more reason for railway stations. There's this path along here, going back towards Cranley, that's the bridge I was on a moment ago. I'm going to go back up the Back up the steps onto the track bed, because I've got still a very long walk ahead of me. As I walk along I like to sort of look at some of the the relationship the railway or former railway has with its surroundings. Now this bridge here, this is the Copleys Brook. Let's see, I'll show you if I go down there. So down there that's the Copleys Brook, it's a tributary of the River Way which of course is a tributary of the River Thames. So another quite interesting bridge, we're up on an embankment, shouldn't be too long now, get to Baynards. Now walking through another cutting, so it's gone from embankment to cutting to embankment. Baynard station, We're not quite there yet, but a bit about it. It's not in a village, it's one of those stations that was built as a condition of the railway going through the land, in this case the land of Lord Furlow. He owned Baynard's Park, it was a country house, it no longer exists, the Baynard estate exists, so the station was built to serve Baynard's Park, Baynard's estate. Because of its, I suppose it's a bit of a backwater, it wasn't a busy station, not many people used it. It became very popular for filming and you can see it appear in various films, obviously when the line was still open. And possibly the most interesting one was, and I haven't seen this but I'm going to have to try and look this up and watch it, is the Railway Children. Now I'm not getting mixed up with the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, that came later, there was a series of the Railway Children and it was filmed on this line, on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, they filmed it on this line and Baynards was the main station so no doubt that'd be very interesting to see but like I say that came prior to the very well-known Railway Children I've got my children filmed on the Keighley Worth Valley Railway, so hopefully... We should be there. It has got that country estate feel. It's really nice here. Now I've got away from Cranley. I mean, Cranley is nice, but there's a lot of people, a lot of dog walkers, and I feel like I've got the place to myself. And I'm quite happy. I just keep walking and walking. That's exactly what I'm going to do. There's the deer, just running off down the railway line. Feels like a while since I've seen any other humans, but there's plenty of wildlife around. I think now I'm coming into a little bit of civilisation. I'm near the former Baynard station. Oh, that's interesting. I just noticed. It says Downslink 1984, yeah I should mention the Downslink, Downslink is basically a footpath I believe linking the Thames path with the North Downsway or the South Downsway, it's a long distance path anyway, I shall walk it one day. What's this over here, oh yeah look, okay there's an abandoned Renault 5 and this is, yeah okay, so there's a smashed up Renault 5 and an abandoned house, must have been built around the time of the station. It's not the station, I'm hoping, I've never seen the station before, I'm hoping it's in better condition. I can just see there, that's the old goods shed. So if we walk around here, now it is a private residence, so I'm only going to show you what I can see from the public footpath. It's hard to see. But I believe the station is very complete, so we'll see what we can see. By the way, the line closed in 1965, and it opened in October 1865, so it lasted nearly 100 years. A good bit of railway architecture here, it's a good shed and um yeah look at that, can you see that through there? That's the old canopy of some of the platforms, see if we can can just see signs saying LBSCR London Brighton and South Coast Railway, so that would be the railway company before Southern took over. Yeah I'm not sure who that house belonged to if that was part of the railway estate but the um good to see that the station building is very much well looked after. Oh yeah, and if you look here. You can see the station. So that's really nice to see. It's really nice when you walk along an old railway and you find the station complete. I mean, you can't even see, it could even be forgiven, apart from that little ladder there, that this station was still open because you can't actually see that there's no track there. So, you know, train could be about to pull in. Surrey Industrial History Group Award for station building has won. So, yeah, look at that. It says the old railway station just there. Opened in 1865, it says it's now privately owned, so like I say, we're only going to look at what we can see from here. Another big old house, and this is Station Road. Very unusually, well, there's lots of, that's not unusual at all. There's loads of roads in the country called Station Road. Station Road, that's a private road, that's pretty unusual. I'm not saying it's the only one, but there certainly is many of them. So we get to here, I guess it's just a bit of a lodge, but that looks private. The old railway continues, I'm going to go down there in a minute, but I believe quite soon I'm going to have to leave the track bed then. I can't show you much here, you know, like I say, I'm not going to go poking my camera over the fence, I'm only going to show you what I can see, but that is looking straight through the station, you can see the canopy, so here we are, Barnard station, probably one of the most well-known disused stations there is, and like I say, it's been in various films and TV series, all that was done before it closed, now it just appears on YouTube videos like this, short way that way leads to a tunnel, let's go and find that. It's taken on a bit of a different character here, not quite such a wide path anymore, just more like a little footpath. Now I know I've said tunnel, and this is a bridge, I know that, but there is a tunnel, or was a tunnel, and this is where it gets slightly complicated. It looks like they've been filling it in here, so unfortunately I might not actually see the tunnel portal. So what I think is going to happen, in a moment's time I'm going to walk over this bridge, and I've got to follow. The diversion, so if I follow the downlink signs, I will, I think it's going to take me over there and I'll go over the top of the tunnel and then we'll see when we get to the other end what we can find. We'll have a look here, I'm not going to give up just yet on finding a tunnel. We'll go look at downlink, downlink and that way is where we've just come. We could park here if you want to just go for a walk. There's a path going down here, we're going to have a look. The last time I did this, it was when I was just exploring an old railway. Not making a YouTube video, it's the Oxford to Tame line horse path tunnel. I did something a bit like this and I can see a footpath, it didn't say private so that's why I'm just having a look and I walked along similar very similar situation and what did I find at the end but I found the remains of the tunnel. But you see right now I'm walking about where the roof level of the trains would have been. There's not many many obstacles to reopening this so not really many buildings obviously there'll be some things that have to change i just bumped into some people and they said oh they keep talking about reopening it i said yeah i think i'll believe it when i see it but it's not it's not out the question you know this could be dug out obviously things like the conditions of tunnels and bridges would need to be assessed and they may have to rebuild some of the bridges and sometimes where a level crossing sufficed that's no longer what what they want to do. The tunnel must have been where those trees are. Yeah, I'm a bit not sure if I'm really supposed to be up here, but like I say, I'm saying I shouldn't. And then, like I say, there's something there. There's a path, this might be a public footpath, because I can see the steps. Oh yeah, look, I think, anyway, I think the tunnel is so overgrown, there's some, it looks like a vent, but I don't think we're kind of above the tunnel yet. I think I'm gonna leave it here and go back to the Downs Link, see if we can find the other end of the tunnel. I'm now walking over the bridge, I just walked under before trying to find the tunnel. Up there you can just see the chimneys of the big house I could see by Baynard station. Okay it's interesting, it says Downs Link, what was it, you know what I said a moment ago about not going where it's private? It says private land there, it says private land, no doubt, but it also says this is the Downs Link and that, the fact that's got a letter on it, I think that's someone's drive, so I'm going to go down here, I'm not going to step off the path and that should take me over to the top. One thing about walking on old railways is they're usually flat walks. Until you come to a tunnel you can't walk through and you have to walk over the hill so it's been an up over the hill But look down through there. There's the other end of the tunnel just down there. So it's the other portal It seems I can only assume it must have been filled in if I get down to the track bed Which as you can see will go right the way down here I'll see if I can walk up to the tunnel that really would be quite exciting And then we'll continue on we've got two more stations to find the site of and then we've also got Christ's Hospital which is still a station it's just no longer a junction now what do we have to get down it might be i think that's really the best i can do i'll go back and get another picture of it but it can be quite boggy in that round here you can see it's been raining a bit so i think i'm just gonna maybe leave it at that and then continue on back down on the track bed on second thoughts seems a shame not to come have a look at the tunnel Here it is, look at that. It's always just exciting. This is the biggest structure we've seen. It's great to see what remained of Thaynard station. To find a whole tunnel complete like this. I feel a cold breeze coming out. So I don't know if I'm going to get in. If I did, what would happen if I tried to walk through? That's where I'm going to get in. There's nothing much to see inside. I think while we're While we're down, let's have a bit of a look at the architecture. of the tunnel so you can see all the curving walls normally you just don't get to come down here because normally this would be a railway line so it's nice to come be this close and you can see there bring the water down with like um a gully you can just see that through the trees yeah this is quite fantastic thing to see now then i'm gonna find my way back out of here continue on i say i've got two more stations to find and then the former junction with Yeah, I'm just happy. Here's the tunnel. It makes a day in the exploration of Old Railway so much more exciting. Maybe the next thing I should do, like some of the other ones, is make it so you can go through. I don't know what it's structurally like. Maybe it's not safe to do that, but wouldn't it be fun to go through it? Anyway, let's continue on. 20 minutes or so after the tunnel, I've now arrived at the site of the next station. This was Rudrick. Not a lot here. By the way, I hope I'm pronouncing that right. No doubt I'll be slaughtered in the comments if I'm not. But anyway, This is the site of the station. There's a great deal to see here. There's a board here. So it's where I started on part one to Cranley, Baynards, Rudrick, Slynford, Christ's Hospital. In the future I do want to continue on down through West Grinstead, eventually down to Shoreham. So that is all what I plan to do. Some interesting things at West Grinstead. There's the double bridge at Rudrick which, in fact I'll show you this picture now. Have a look at that. Because I don't know how well we're going to see that, but we're going to be going over that. We'll talk about that when we get there. Here's a picture of the station in 1910, have a look at that. So it looks as though the station building is no longer there. But what we'll do, we shall have a look. This is where the building, you can see there's a modern building built there now. There's a bit about the village of Rudrick, some pictures. Oh, there's the tunnel, Paynard's Tunnel, and that's how it would have looked. That's probably looking from the other side of a bridge, which should be, can't quite see it yet, but we'll go under that. The double bridge is a map of the town or village should I say because it's definitely a village and there's a few pictures of it that's it when it closed that's it after closure before demolition so and there's another picture there of a steam loco either steam locomotive and one more picture of the station. So that's a few pictures it's a sad sight there's no station here I'm going to continue on I think the next thing of interest to see is going to be this double bridge. Leaving the outskirts of Rudrick behind, that is how you pronounce it, a local lady. Just crossed the main road. There's been a bridge here, but it seems the bridge is missing. Probably quite a small bridge and there's traffic increased on the road. It got taken out. So there's little things like that if they were to ever reopen it. I've realised though, the Downs Link, of course what it means is it's the link between the North Downs Way and the South Downs Way. Both paths which I would like to walk one day, but I need more time. Time and, yeah, it's just, anyway. One day I'd like to walk them, but it seems I have without maybe realising it hasn't been doing the Downs Link. I mentioned the Thames Downs Link, that is another path which has some sections in common with London Loop. London Loop is the one long distance path I have walked all of, but I haven't done it all on video. I might do it again one day, make a video series on that. Would you be interested to see that? Let me know in the comments. Anyway, I just feel a bit of rain. I'm quite hot so I don't mind a little bit of rain. Continue on now and find the next disused station. The next station we shall come to will be Slynford but before we get to Slynford we're still in the parish of Rudrick. We're about to leave the parish of Rudrick and pass into the parish of Slynford. We're going to do this over this rather unusual bridge, the one I did show you a picture of back there, the bridge over the river Arun. Look at this now from above it doesn't look anything too unusual it just looks like a bridge over a river as we should come along here. We shall see. We are relatively high, probably the highest bridge we've walked over. I'm not going to go too near the edge of my camera because I don't want to blow. River Arun flows down to Arundel and there's the Arun Valley line. The line that this joined up with at Christ Hospital, have a look on this side, you can see the river down there. But going by that picture I showed you, you're probably wanting to see what the bridge looks like from beside, not from on top. So we've now crossed the bridge and we enter the parish of Slynford and I've not been down there So I'm going to see this for the first time as I show it to you. I've noticed it says viewpoint. There's a bit of information there but I hope I'm going to just take you down here and have a look. So we are going to leave the track bed. Soon I'll be back up here continuing on to Slynford. I'll take you down these steps One of the most unusual features on the railway. So the reason for this bridge is the line heading that way toward Rudrick would have had a 1 in 80 gradient. and I think we're going to see... That's quite steep for steam trains, it's all right with modern traction, there are gradients of 1 in 80, those gradients are steeper, but for a line like this it was considered not the best. So what they did, they'd already started building and um okay well this hasn't really worked. I'm going to have to climb. Hang on, let's go. I'm not supposed to do this but I'm going to do it anyway because I've promised you something. It's coming. I'll just tell you about the bridge for a moment. The original bridge was about this level but that meant the gradient of 1 in 80 to Rudderick. So what they did, they decided to build a much more gentle embankment but further out to give a more gentle rise. So that resulted in the higher bridge which I'm having trouble trying to show you. I'm going to switch the camera off. I'm going to climb down through the fence and I'm going to try and show it to you. So I was a moment ago, I've left my rucksack up there, I've scrambled down the embankment because I really wanted to show you this and see it for myself. Here is this rather unusual bridge. So this looks fairly normal, it's like a bridge over a river. But see the other bridge on top, so see what I mean. After that bridge, the gradient would have been too thick. So they built the bridge up high, kind of effectively built a bridge around the bridge. So this effectively became more like a flying arch or like a buttress to support the bridge above. So that is how we've ended up with these two bridges. If you're travelling on a train you probably wouldn't even notice this rather unusual bridge. I'm now going to make my way back up to the track bed and we're going to go and find Slynford. That's the next station we need to find. I've just been through a sort of tunnel, it's where they've put a road over the railway and they've made like one of those modern tunnel-like bridges, not high enough to carry a train so I didn't really want to spend too much time on that, but I have now got to Slynton station, look at this, the path just abruptly, well not ends, but goes around it, so I'm not sure what I'm gonna find here. We shall have a look. I think it might be a campsite. Anyway, you can see the track would have gone there and the path goes around here. Behind me, it's not on the station site, there's a load of industrial units. Yeah, look, it's a campsite. You can see some caravans there. So we're now walking to the side of where the station was, interestingly. It might have been because of the geography of the region. The main street of the village is the next road on upwards so the station at the moment it looks as though the station wasn't situated in the most logical place but my guesses are that possibly this was a more suitable site on the edge of the village and the village has possibly grown even without the railway. So that's where the station probably this is right down the very end of the platforms as they came down this far. Let's see what we find. We leave behind these industrial units. It's funny we find these industrial units. It's quite a long way from anywhere. The nearest town by now is Horsham. Christ's Hospital station on the Arun Valley line and then Horsham is just above it. So I'm going to end up passing through Horsham because I took the train to Guildford from Reading this morning. I got the bus to Cranleigh and then I shall buy a single from Christ's Hospital to Guildford, change at Dorking, then I'll just stay on the train. There's not much to show you at the moment, so I'm going to continue along here. If we get to the road, I'll see if I can find anything off the station up there. But this is where it would have been, just behind these trees. Let's come and see the end of the station site. What I have found are these cottages, these railway cottages. There was some at Slindford. These ones, sorry, Rudgwick, this is Slindford. These ones have been rendered. Thank you very much. So they look like railway cottages. The station itself We'll have a look at that in a minute, but the railway line continued that way. I'm just going to have a look up here. I probably better not just go wandering into the campsite, but it's quite funny to think if you're staying there, you would be on an old railway. Look at this, this is a medlar bush fruit. It's a fruit you eat when it goes rotten. This is the site. Interestingly, when I was walking along there, there was a couple from Belgium. I heard them talking to someone else and they said they were from Belgium, so it kind of makes sense. They're probably staying here. I've just gone out for a walk so uh yeah that is the entrance to the campsite look at that there was there's a sign it says a bit of a railway station so there's a little shop there I probably could go in there but um at the same time they might get fed up with pesky youtubers like me coming in because I don't think there's anything to see so that though the important thing is that is the site of Slynford station we've got one more that's Christ's Hospital I know that station It is open, but from what I understand... it's got platforms disused platforms so it's very much a part of this and then like i said the line did continue on across down towards Shoreham definitely not doing that today i'm not doing too badly i mean it's not dark yet so if someone's starting things off am i gonna get there before it gets dark but anyway Slynford station the sight of it at least final leg now on to Christ's Hospital just to show you Slynford village well as you can see i'm going between two houses but have a look The houses there are much older than the houses here, so these have been built since the railway, they would have been built since the railway. So the railway comes straight across here and then the path continues on over there, it's a very modern estate there. So Guildford's 16 miles away, Rotherhithe's two and a quarter, not sure how far Cranleigh is but it seems like I've been walking, well I think it's about 10 miles, so this is the village. So I can kind of see why station in fact wasn't the room to fit a station in here. I've got another two and a half miles to go. I am, I did this in Rotherhithe off camera, I'm trying to have a quick look around the village because I like to see what there is in these places. Final two and a half miles beckons. I'm about halfway between Slynford and Christ's Hospital. I'm not actually on the old railway, I know it looks like it, but the railway itself I think was just in there, it's in a bit of a dip and it looks like it's become possibly a bit waterlogged and got lots of plants growing in there so it probably just became too boggy. Let's see if I can show you through the trees i don't know if you can see but the railway line would have run along there actually up here it might be easier further back at one point it seems well ever since i've left then for the path has been going just to the side of the railway at one point now you have a bit of view of what it looks like so you can see in the winter it probably gets very waterlogged yeah at one point it was so narrow and of course typically it's when all the cyclists suddenly start coming along i haven't seen that many but you know a couple of them came along when the path was narrow as far as I saw anyway, I'm coming up to a busy road and then after that it's not too far I will eventually get to Christ's Hospital. It's drizzling I'm happy about that because I wanted it to rain all summer when it was really hot I didn't like the hot weather so I'm not going to complain about a little bit of drizzle. Now here, that says private, I'm not going to go in there. but just eventually looks like that might be another public footpath yeah, that's the track there and that's the trackbed looking towards Christ Hospital So I'm going to continue on. There might be a bridge up there. we'll have a look at that in a minute and then onwards to Christ Hospital I said I could see a bridge. Here it is. at least this puts the footpath back onto the old railway line So I think this is the final major road to cross. looks like the footpath. You can see it now I can't see it now Railway line is there but the footpath is there. Just to the side of it. It's the final mile now up at Christ Hospital. Come across this bridge here now this shows how much a cutting has been filled in so beyond there that was all filled in the footpath was to the side of the track bed a roof of a train be about here so it looks rather odd it looks like a sort of shortened bridge I believe it's just a a bridle path it's not particularly wide I'm looking at the map I think it's a bridle path So, um... just there I notice it says Thinford two miles Guildford 17 miles and on the other side Christ Hospital one mile, so I've got my final mile shown by C25. Definitely not doing that today, so another day I've got a 19 mile walk to do, so I might be able to do that over two, or maybe as the winter comes I'll get around to do it over three parts. I'm not sure, but I'd certainly like to continue. Initially I did think I was just going to do this section. As we come down to here though, Yeah, here, we. I'm going to resume the real track bed level and as we look back at that bridge we can see just how much has been filled in. Right, one more mile. The rain is starting to get a little bit heavier but I'm nearly there, nearly across. There's not much further to go. I can already see... The Christ Hospital, I don't know if the camera's picking it out, but the tower is over there. The hospital, by the way, is not a hospital, it's actually a school. I'm not going to go into the history of the school today, that's a subject maybe in another video another day. What I did want to show you here was, well firstly the school, the hospital, is on the other side of the Arun Valley Railway. So the fact we can see it can only mean one thing, we're not too far. The path, though. To the North. But there was a triangle and I believe the triangle started here so trains coming from Guildford that were heading for Shoreham or down the Arun Valley line they would have turned this way here they would have turned right but we and the footpath turned left so I just thought that was if you haven't really seen any junctions or anything along here I might be able to show you with this field here so the footpath and the railway we're following on that way it's getting a bit windy now and if you have a look there there's a triangle here The railway line that way would have gone that way around the field, the Arun Valley line must be just over there. Right, final section now, we're nearly there at Christ Hospital Station. That was the final bridge I had to walk under, the rain is really starting to pick up now, it's kind of gone from that welcome slightly cooling off rain to turning into this sort of rain I'm going to be soaked in even if I only spend five minutes out here. Just as well I've arrived at Christ Hospital isn't it? Finally arrived at the station so here we are, I have put a nameplate here. I wonder if anyone's ever got confused and come here. thinking they can catch a train and they're confused to find that there's clearly no railway line here but they're told the station is open because station is open just not this section so this is Christ Hospital station, I'm yeah happy to be here Hey, here, hold up. if you look on the platforms here you can see these sticking out this is probably where the wires would have run for the signal so i can't see any sign of signal box or any station buildings interestingly it looks like over there i'll see if i can get up there onto the platform There was a um another platform but a bay platform uh as in with a platform a track with a platform each side I'm trying to say a bit like Horley Kings on the Bluebell Railway there's a gate there I don't know if that's a gateway onto the main platform I'm not sure because I've never been to this station but I can see some actual signals now I can just see through the bushes it says Christ Hospital I'm really hoping I haven't got too long now to wait for a train because it's kind of I've had a great day I've enjoyed it but you know when you get to that stage you feel like you want to go home now um right so the path I'm probably going to finish this off the camera find out if I ever get out here but let's just have a look this is it this is Christ Hospital station and I suppose I should finish what I showed you yesterday so you can see whether they've been a bay through here and through there There's a sign there, says no connection with the railway station, so that's helpful. So you can literally walk straight onto the platform, but there's a lock gate, and there was a commuter standing there giving me a weird look. Okay, then, I'd better try and find the open part of the station. There we are, Christ Hospital Station, ticket office is open It's a bomb safety machine, it seems to take forever because the rain's raining on it. It makes touching the screen difficult, trying to buy tickets to Guildford But this is the open part of this station, so that way it's looking towards London. There's a nice picture there of the Christ Hospital itself. And then we go down here, this is the foot, what's it called, underpass, so we'll go down there, take us on to the other side, interesting to see, it looks as though, as we know, the station was once twice the size or even more, so maybe there was another track there, looks like it continued that way, sometimes these places have like a secret passageway, maybe there was a secret way into the school, I don't know, but basically that's too much about school, and then we didn't continue along here. I'm not sure, but we have arrived at Christ's Hospital. It's quite nice when you walk along an old railway, when you eventually end up at a fully functioning station. And I've never been here before, so if there's another station I can tick off, and I'm going to get the 18:37, running a little bit late. It's going to take me as far as Horsham. I've changed to Thameslink. Oh, no, I can't remember what I'm doing, but I know my way home. I've got it on paper. Anyway, this is Christ's Hospital. I'll show you that. The one thing I was going to finish on was that little way which would have, I could have actually got an earlier train if that had been opened. There seems to be this secret way out. So that's where I was a moment ago. So here look you can actually see the disused part of the station. It's padlocked so I don't know why there's no ticket barriers, you want to have it open to make life easier. Anyway from Christ Hospital station the rain is getting heavier and heavier so hopefully my train will be here soon. Thank you very much Thank you very much for watching, please do feel free to like, share, comment, subscribe. In the future, we'll perhaps do a bit down to Shanmen Sea, but from Christ's Hospital Railway Station, goodbye.
