 Hello, thank you for joining me. I'm on a class 150. I'm at Buxton, but it's still got the first great western Moquetz on it's one that's been transferred to northern. So we've arrived here at Buxton and today We're going to go to the miniature railway in the park in Buxton, but before that a few things I want to show you railway wise and about the town Still got seven four signals, which of course. I really like here are some 150s for you and Just here that where the building houses now. This is where peak rail was originally They had a museum here you could get up on steam train have a little ride But then they moved to Rowsley and over there used to be Buxton diesel depot I'm just going to show you some bits around the station It was once a much larger station than it is today. I'll talk about that in a moment it's quite a nice mural all along this fence and Then we're going to head down through the town centre and we're going to go and Visit the miniature railway in Buxton. Now if you have a look here, there's just rather nice Tiled mural so where are we we're here the railway station which opened in 1863 We're making our way To the park here. This is where the miniature railway is on the way. I'm going to show you things like the Royal Crescent and the Opera House So We're gonna do that. I just want to introduce you to a friend of mine first. It's this guy here always say hello to him He's so cool He's made out of bits of old railway Stuff so we got like this is a ground signal. We've got various other bits all welded together He's a really cool guy. So if you ever come to Buxton make sure you say hello to him We're now going to head up here. There's one thing. I simply cannot show you Or cannot come to Buxton without showing you. Sorry And that is just at the end of the platform. I'm a big fan of it. So I need it. I'm going to show it to you and that is The window here always been a big fan of the window at Buxton station Now there was actually once an overall roof here Over the whole station and the station was also twice its size but more of that in a moment Another thing in front of the fan window There's a quite a cool little Japanese garden. It's really a bit of an unusual railway station That guy fishing looks a bit angry. There's an old railway sleeper there There's the class 150s. I do like 150s Well, I like sprinters really just because they're now some of the older DMUs on the network So I'm always enjoy a trip on any kind of sprinter, but especially 150s I just enjoy a trip on anyway. We're now going to leave the railway station We're heading towards the opera house. We're not going into the opera house. We're going to go into the building next door So oh, but there is also something else to do with the railway station I want to show you before we leave and that's here. We go into the ticket office Here in the ticket office Is a rather cool model of Buxton station I think it's really nice. We have this model here. You can see how it would have looked with the overall roof There's a LMS loco. So this is how the station you can see the fan window in the background If I needed it up to position of the 150 in the further background So this is how the station would have looked Now, um, there's also some double o-gauge models here. I particularly like it They've got a model of liander because when I first came to Buxton on steam train liander Hold that rail tour If you have a look around here at the fan window you can see some various other old vehicles Now There was actually two ones. It was like a twin station. If you have a look on that picture there You can see how there were two Fan windows and the area around here was the station forecore. So if we head out here This is now the station forecourt. So there had been a mirror image just there now If we look at the fan window You can see the fan window there The other one would have been See what that Just there where that bloke in the blue thing is Um And where it's all covered in ivy now, but that was the other fan window So this would have been a forecourt and there were two Terminal sets of platforms each with a fan window. I'm going to head down there now down to the town centre And we're eventually going to get to the miniature railway So I've just come down from the railway station now just there you can see a water crane now that is when Peak rail was based here at buxton, but then they moved to a current site down at rousely Now if we look around here, you can see that really quite a spectacular viaduct towering above buxton That is the old peak line Currently goes up as far as hind though and I went on the one and only rail tour they've ever done With steam up there since the end of 60s. What we're going to do now I'm going to run into waitrose and grab a coffee and then we're going to go and explore buxton properly So I've been to waitrose that building over there. That is the palace hotel That's subject to a different video putting a link in now. I've now come to the university This is an amazing building. You can't see it. There's a huge dome. So I'm going to quickly show you inside It's actually a campus of darby university, but it is possibly One of the most amazing buildings you'll see it was originally a hospital If you look says devonshire hospital because it was built by the duchess devonshire who lives at chatsworth That's another place we should go and visit one day. So we go in here through this door. It's one of these funny doors It's amazing. Oh, it's nice and warm. What you're about to see I'll just see you can see what the building looks like. I'll show you on that picture So we've just come in through those doors. Oh, we're gonna see this dome So this is what it looks like inside. Look at it. It's amazing. Can you imagine studying in a place like this? That's something funny is going to happen in a moment As I walk into the middle My voice will start echoing and everything I say you'll be able to hear a split second later So can you hear that now? I'm speaking now and you can hear it repeating myself So that's quite funny. I can't clap because I'm holding a camera a bit. I tell you what's this See the noise it makes It's so strange. I won't keep doing it for the whole night. But just look at this building. It's amazing I just think it must have been amazing to study somewhere like that and that's right up to the ceiling Um, it's a really cool building. It's rare to see it this quite normally There's an event on or something but since I've come here when there isn't an event more do just go upstairs and See the building from above what it won't echo there because it only echoes when you're in the middle Then what we're going to do we're going to carry on down through the town center And um, we're going to go and have a look at a few more landmarks in buxton before we finally Finish at the miniature railway that we've come here to see. So here we are upstairs now Look at this all these columns never counted them but just So many of them there must be 60-odd columns. So that's where we were when we were making the noise. I think this is It's just such an amazing building and be amazing to study here Anyway, I'm now gonna head out. We're gonna go look at the crescent next. So Let's carry on our exploration of buxton So I've just come up from buxton town center And still see the railway station just over there And I wanted to show you on my way to the miniature railway is buxton's royal crescent And this is why buxton is quite often known as bath of the north because it has A royal crescent like bath does It's under restoration at the moment and they're also Restoring some of the baths so buxton can relive up to its name as a spa town So it's it really is a very pleasant place to visit But obviously in my books, it's made more exciting the fact that we've got a miniature railway we can head to So I'm now going to carry on walking along here. I've got one more place I want to show you before we get to the miniature railway So we've now come down from the royal crescent and we are heading up towards the opera house And the pavilion gardens, which is it's building here now. There's one bit I particularly like there's some indoor Gardens, which um, I think are really pleasant. You're probably just already hear the horn of the train. I just heard So we're nearly at the miniature railway We've come to buxton to visit today So if we're going to here If it's kind of like um, it's a lot warmer inside If it's created an atmosphere where more Plants are done I think this is really nice If it and obviously I can't show it to your camera, but it's a lot warmer in here Than it is outside And um, I just think it's a really nice place to walk through. So we're going to go up here now And and we're going to head out the other side to where the railway is. So there's even a pond an indoor pond with fish inside it And just see Maybe don't know how well you can see that but they're they're all fishing the pond um We're now going to carry on through here And um, we're going to go outside to where the railway is So we're just Going through these doors That way there's um a cafe and there's a pub and various other things And then we come out here and you can see the whole of the pavilion gardens Well, I've just had a very enjoyable trip on the train. It's just gone off on another journey And just hear the horn. It'll be coming round again. Um, just crossing the river over there So we'll see the train pass again in a moment. Um And um, I'm now going to head back to the station So if you're ever in buxton or darbyshire area do come and visit this railway or even if you're in manchester Do jump on the train down to buxton and have a ride on this really pleasant little railway And um, you can spend time in the park and the pavilion gardens over there. Here comes the train He's coming back again now. So it really is worth a visit.
