Pleasington / Hapton & / Burnley Barracks Request Stops

no one knows you're here although in a very youtube jump cutty way i might now use that more of this like oh let me adjust the again you can chop together seamless start okay morning i'm at lost hall it is time to do some more request stops today i'm on the east lancashire line now normally we need to address this immediately when i do at least use station i very definitely have a companion request stop videos usually don't have a companion however in the history of lisu stations my friend carl who's from manchester has joined me for uh husker as well as stanley thornton and he also joined me once on a ride we just did on the uh on the old reddish south and denton which is why i'm thrilled today that carla distance is here again so you're my exception to the rule exceptional friend you are my exceptional exception friend is this sign in the way let's go ride some trains so on my request stop map we're ticking off three more in the lancashire area and we're going through hun code which used to be a request yeah it used to be a sticky handout job yeah just stick your hand out just stick your hand out job yeah request stops are now known as stick your hand out stick your hand out stations in the days of yesteryear yeah i would have expected a pacer but now you think around that corner in a second it's going to be one of the northern's new toys which is what you want famously said you know what i won't put any money on that yeah yeah is it the next stop normally i'd sit next to you when i'm in london traveling now it's fascinating to watch on the london overground where you get the seats that are side by side rather like that like no one's no one's told us to do it as humans we've just all sensibly gone oh i will no longer sit next to anybody so you get person gap person gap it's just it's just naturally happened it's it's like it's brilliant to watch so now in the height of the rush hour you get trains with seats and no one's sitting on them so i'm not sitting next to you i've spoken to a guard i've requested bama bridge first i've requested pleasington best request for the day she just said pleasing too it's pleasing to me oh step down [Music] do you think pleasanton or pleasing to them on the announcement they say pleasington definitely thank you so much it is a community rail partnership the crp people will be waving right now hello we came to pleasington but look the pirates way to cherry tree hang on is that is that comic sans someone's used comic sans it's a little walking route but what we were going to go along the canal but they're saying that you can take a little ah but the amazing thing that you've noticed carl are the signs apart from your book standard northern one we have four rather pleasantly pleasantly see what i've done there pleasantly coloured signs and i've just noticed notice there's spring on this one and because there's four there's one for each season look isn't that lovely so all four seasons are covered all four seasons covered that is very pleasington isn't it that's very pleasing to see oh we we could go for miles can't we with this gag i'm telling you yeah a clue as to what used to regularly do this route there you go your pacer oh look at the law find me another pacer on black um it was with you when we did uh oscar from uh burstco uh richard johnson i always get this one wrong oscar bridge junction that was over a year ago you've not been on a pacer in a year they're still out there in places right it's still it's still smelling like about smell knocking around like an unpleasant smell yeah we really so quick check shelters yes ticket machine yes bins yes no dot matrix benches inside the shelters having some hump step free access to both sides no car park or shop what i miss i'm impressed it's got a ticket machine the one in the new ones as well yeah why not northern van gogh's my theory about the not being any of them on this line well no they're using maybe using those for the for the express services and then the one five eights for the stoppers uh yeah maybe we're talking numbers this is not a train spotting the vlog this isn't definitely not it's just i don't know why i've started that view this morning we've gone down a rabbit hole let's not let's not do numbers is that clash 37 but you're but the reason why you're my exceptional friend is because carl is like my local fixers you're like northern you know what it's like it's like on the bbc when they used to go and now in middle eastern correspondent kd right i'm not saying kt right welcome but you are like my northern correspondent so imagine i'm on the bbc and now to our northern with an interesting thing that he's just spotted [Music] at the bottom of the are they called totems flag i don't know what you call anyway you see the nw at the bottom there the grey and orange thing that harks back to poor is it late 80s early 90s when you know it's not even a franchise it was it was a re-branding uh it was before privatization that all the railways around here were branded as network northwest and it was given this gray and orange um brandon and it's still there so like network southeast but network north west i've not seen one of those logos for years honestly um because they slowly obviously they replaced now we've got a bit star wars that's a name i've not heard in a very long time is it the lead to liverpool canal we've done a bit of canal walking these are liverpool need to liverpool there's there's a lead to rochdale canal which passes through manchester okay because the leads obviously lead to liverpool as well but by hook and crook and foot we just got on the train at coat now hum coach for many years wasn't requested off and when they made bernie barracks and stuff request stocks hun cut they also made a request but then they unrequested it and went back to a regular stop and so we've just come to hancock to get on there but it's not requested anymore but instead of getting out of hat work we're going to go to burnley barracks first then reverse and then come back and do hat worth which we're just about to pass through but we'll do this third rather than second i really should learn the name of the stations apparently there was no need because he says we're stopping at all of the stations anyway today so today's request stop didn't need to be requested [Applause] that's quite a lot of people quite a few people got off i know you can see that i am and it's like a single track as we approach the two tracks went to one and we're now on single track so there was a barracks here right oh yeah yeah yeah i feel this is definitely your territory uh again bbc presenter we go now live to carl our northern correspondent to explain the history of the barracks at burnley thanks jeff you join me now from burnley barracks that's not here anymore it was built in 1820 and was in use until 1898 no 1898 1889 anyway um there's very little of it remaining if anything at all it was used mainly for the infantry and for the cavalry karl florjack northern england correspondent jeff marshall channel so single track now but there's obviously space where there was another track and another platform and even the bridge there you can see this track so it's been doubled to singled at some point clearly is there a bin is there a shelter is there a display is there a ticket machine shelter yes yeah bin yeah wafting in the breeze but again no timetables what is when is the next train in about trains in about 20 minutes 30 minutes but there is which i'm again i'm finding very surprising is one of those lovely touchy touchy screeny kind of tickety machines that northern have brought out recently ish i'm amused how there's like three stages of platform there's the the modern day with the visually impaired rumble strip then there's a bit which is fairly modern but no rumble strip and then there's this third section down here that's the overgrown with nettle stage what's up there's a river behind what's the river where did you see the river no that's it's cooper now come on northern correspondent you've thrown me oh no there is the canal that is the canal we will walk along earlier there's more of the canal so it goes right over the canal here nice right here comes our train so we're going to hampton hampton this is the northern service to preston the next step is the reason why jeff i think this is quite a vanilla station i mean two shells there's not much else um the original buildings were demolished in the 70s obviously the uh platforms still remain but um i think on the information board up there there's something you can read about that have you found a fat yeah northern correspondent northern correspondent has found a map um perhaps a station though for a map that's based at hampton station hampton station actually isn't on it it's like just off the uh just slightly off the map here he's coming in there so oh there's burnley barriers we've just come from there so i think it's just pointing your way to the canal and you've got padding there greenway the patio loop was open to good traffic back in the 1870s there's an old line it's now a greenway another old railway that's been turned into a greenway we could do that carl or we could go to the pub down by the canal so pleasington was pleasant and charming and yeah nice and bernie marx was in a bit more functional kind of thing wasn't it yeah happen is now quite dull yeah a real kind of like so but carl down the road there is a pub by the canal so i think we need to uh yeah yeah i think we need to exit stage left here exit stage via the canal and add a little drink to finish out a bit but that is it that is three more request stops ticked off there's one more to come in this area you're not invited to that i don't need my northern correspondent do you want to sign off though do you know like they sat on bbc news they go they like shuffle the papers you have to get to sign off this has been carl f northern correspondent for jeff marshall cheers
