The Arctic, Returning to Durham, and Reflecting on 2023 (David Frankal Show #99)
Broadcasting live* from Bordeaux, I look back at some of my highlights of 2023: My Placement at Northern (joining the Performance team), my gallivant around Europe with my Dad (including the infamous Bernina Express), my train trip and Geography field trip to the Arctic Circle, Durham's Lumiere and launching Enroute. I then join friends & family in placing our bets for 2024. Finally I reflect on the challenge of both working in and critiquing/commenting on the rail industry, Israel/Palestine and the future of the channel.

Swapping windy Northern Ireland for sunny St-Jean-de-Luz, I tally up the scores for last year's edition of 'Place Your Bets', where a ragtag group of people come together and fail to predict what 2023 would have in store for us.

Blackpool North was initially Blackpool Talbot Road which is now the new tram terminus.
26:42 yhh i went on that platform for the first time back in july, was weird that they closed a platform in between and just had the abbey one sitting there all quietly like platform 9/3.75 in harry potter 😅
26:28 😂😂
What is it about traction motors that give me goosebumps as a train enthusiast? 🥲
4:41 what class was that one? I saw an sbahn train at köln bonn airport which was a class 425, and on train sim world i drive 423s and 422s but the one in this vid look different
The Berlin Blockade was a blatant Soviet attempt to drive out the western Allies, pure and simple.
1:39, Yes, yes. All nice and sensible. Now get to the rant.
The rail strikes are about safety, just not THAT safety.
Nice video. It explains several buildings that I saw when I was Berlin recently and also the strange open place near Potsdammer Platz.
From Coobe Road to Rowsley, the “Line” ran through what is not private land. And the owner guards his access rights… fiercely
Lunedì 1° luglio partono i lavori della revisione generale decennale dell’ascensore Montegalletto. Come previsto obbligatoriamente dalla normativa, trascorsi 10 anni dall’ultima revisione generale avvenuta nel 2014, l’impianto deve essere sottoposto ad una serie di interventi e controlli ad ampio raggio sulle parti in movimento e sulle componenti a terra. Il complesso lavoro di revisione comporta la chiusura dell’impianto da lunedì 1° luglio fino a mercoledì 7 agosto. Per diminuire i disagi alla clientela e ridurre al massimo il periodo di chiusura, nei mesi scorsi sono state già eseguite diverse lavorazioni e controlli preliminari. Tuttavia, per completare le operazioni di manutenzione, si rende ora necessario il fermo dell’ascensore, così da consentire lo smontaggio, la manutenzione e il ripristino degli organi di trasmissione. Di seguito vengono indicate le attività più significative in programma: revisione delle pulegge di deviazione delle funi e della sala macchine; revisione della puleggia motrice di sala macchine; revisione dei sistemi di automazione del collegamento vetture alla fune di trazione; revisione delle centraline idrauliche di vettura e della sala macchine; revisione dell’impianto frenante di vettura e dell’argano. Terminate queste importanti fasi degli interventi, l’ascensore verrà riaperto al pubblico; potranno seguire ulteriori brevi fasi di massa a punto. La revisione generale consentirà di avere a disposizione un impianto ancora più sicuro ed efficiente.
There are SIX and not four main terminals in Paris: Nord, Est, Saint Lazare, Lyon, Montparnasse and Austerlitz. Indeed France and its SNCF focus more on the organisation, interconnections, passenger throughput etc than on Architectural prowess. There are also rules in France about protecting the "Sites Classés" (National heritage) that you cannot change without a thorough review and "National intrerest" aspects for changes. Massive walls around Eurostar installation is British Sovereignty at its best. On the continent, we have no borders but with England there were always barriers and its not going any better since Brexit. Shitty weather: you picked a very poor day for your video.
What is the title of the music track you used in the introduction of the video?
how on gods green earth were you allowed to record in the airport ...
It's just a railway station?
@DavidFrankal Since 2001 youve not been allowed?
It would make more sense to connect them together and have the Chiltern Line and Metropolitan line also stop there
So is the rolling bridge open first? Then Fan bridge? Websites says Saturday 2pm for both, I hope they would not actually operate at the same time?
Which bus were you on?
The ship in the Dee Estuary is the Duke of Lancaster which was a former railway steam passenger ship that operated in Europe from 1956 to 1979

yootland not jutland 🥲🤣 your swedish pronunciation was much close tho.
I’m curious how did rail maintenance was carried
Very interesting and comprehensinve material, thanks a lot!
I worked in this area for a short time and would walk at lunchtime all around the local area so this is an area I got to know well along the tow paths, under railway arches and through the parks it is a nice area though could change a little at night and squealing tyres could often be heard.
Lichfield deserves a HS2 station the same way Limburg (similar sized cathedral city which is in fact twinned with Lichfield) has this one for ICE.
I wonder why they called it Manchester Docks when the docks were in Salford.
Clifton viaduct ...... 13 arches.
For what it's worth, there is a scale model of the demolished Buxton station in the booking office of the existing station. This was built by my uncle, who's father (my grandfather) used to be a stoker/driver on the line which ran to Millers Dale. This was known locally as the 'pull and push', as it ran back and forth between the two stations. At one time, you could board a train in Buxton which took you to Millers Dale. The carriage was then uncoupled, and then coupled onto the Manchester train at Millers Dale meaning you could travel to London without the inconvenience of changing trains. Furthermore, trains used to travel directly from Buxton to Manchester via Millers Dale, negotiating an almost hairpin bend, the radius being the most acute allowable. I've been on it and the scraping of metal on metal was alarming. I also recall seeing the back end of the train almost opposite out of the window near the front of the train.
Great posting thanks- super informative and concise! Very interesting, having just moved to the area this answers a lot of questions.
All funiculars and elevators and the rack railway are now completely free for everyone in genova
Ooh, lovely!
Absolutely excellent. And really enjoyable, and informative. … but if you could slow down a little bit, it would be helpful. 😊

He didnt destroy these two! He is basically a child who doesnt want people speaking at university if they talk about something he doesnt agree with! They want it their way! The only people allowed to speak are those that agree with them and if soneone has a different opinion then they should be silenced!

Wow, U've informed yourself and us very deeply. 🤓
Beautiful video you need to visit the mountain railway Genova Casella 😊 near Manin Square
I ask myself daily.
i’m acc rlly worried about 7:46 because trams have loads of volts and can kill you easily if you’re too close. there’s no trams, yes, but still trams are very fast and might not have enough time to stop because it takes so long
I can assure you touching a tram isn't going to kill you from electric shocks. Wouldn't stand in front of one when it's moving though.
