Rawcliffe - Least Used Station in East Riding of Yorkshire

The resident of the house doesn't like railways because of something you didn't show. The stop board on the Goole end of the platform that says Stop and Whistle before proceeding over the crossing. So used to have an early wake up call at around 6am when the northern ECS train went through for the 0704 back to Leeds. I used to be one of the Leeds 32 conductors that signed it

Best co-presenter so far in this series. You can invite FactPhil back!

As Shakespeare said "verily, the train doth approach".

Phil’s chirpy nature is rather infectious!

Another vote to bring Phil back. He’s great

As a kid, I was dumped on that platform many an afternoon while my Dad was in the Railway Inn pub which was next door. I think that’s long since gone like the double track. I think it was demolished for houses. This video brought lots of memories. I rode the line myself back in May 2019. There was only me and another passenger on the 3 car train after Knottingley heading towards Goole. No one got off or on at Whitley Bridge, Snaith or Rawcliffe.

Phil gets 10 out of 10 for his derivation of Riding (according to Chambers Dictionary). You need to go back to Breich to see how it did not become the Pilning of ScotRail.

Geoff, you should really bring Phil along more. I really enjoyed seeing him in the video with a folder. As someone who is incredibly well prepared, he has my approval.

Phil was a joy in this vid! Love to see him again in more of your vids!

This video has now had more likes in under 24 hours than this station gets passengers in a whole year. :-)

Def get "Statto" Phil back highly entertaining special co-presenter

The titles are fantastic now with the map and matching transitions to the music , very nice

I was in the Goole link at Leeds between 2004 and 2013 and think I picked up less than 10 people in that time. That includes the few months of the lunchtime service (1204 ex Leeds) before the Sept 2004 timetable change when the lunchtime service was cut (rarely anyone on in either direction between Knottingley and Goole).

I feel Geoff always sets up the 'say "hello Phil" joke and is always disappointed when the punchline doesn't come

Phil's brilliant, a genuine joy to watch

He's good at Philling us in on the history of the station

The name Rawcliffe means "red cliff" from the colour of the steeper banks of the River Ouse. From the Old Norse "rauðr" meaning red.

Nice. More Phil and PhilFacts please.

I like Phil

As someone who grew up not far from Goole, I loved this video. Phil is a brilliant companion, not only full of facts, but also has a fab presenting style. 0:55 I really need to convince my dad to lease the station offices for our family company. 2:10 (and throughout) The Tall structures in the background are called The salt and Pepper Pots. Theyre both water towers and local landmarks. I think theyre listed 9:07 The former station at Airmyn and Rawcliffe was on the Selby-Goole line, as mentioned in the Flanders and Swann song "The slow train" which ran along the Ouse, basically on the opposite side of the River to the also defunct Hull and Barnsley. This went over the Ouse at Barmby on the Marsh (big up BOTM) over a really cool swing bridge. Yep... I'm much nerdier than even I realised
