As a second comment, could I just say that this journey is through a lovely piece of Countryside. It reminds us what a beautiful place the UK is when you get away from Towns and Cities. I watched this twice and the music and atmosphere grows on you, thank you.

Travelling through the eyes of others 👍👍 The music the weather all came together. So mellow, beautiful. The Welsh language 🙂

I’m sure that the visual video was lovely, but I copped out after a while because I just couldn’t stomach nearly an hour of that sound track!

Wonderful countryside and places to visit

Pity the stations place names werent on screen as we go along

Thank you for this video. Nice cab ride with some beautiful.landscapes despite overcast sky.

These are great but do they come without the music & the real sound of the journey-also would be useful to say where they are & even better show on a map

[idatipping]

👏🏻lovely even better had I been be able to see the route description, thank you

Seeing these awful, red brick, chimney less, boxes, called housing developments going up in rural towns and villages, is heartbreaking.

It's amazing this line survived Beeching, just the kind of thinly populated line his report took aim at. Maybe they played it clever, didn't make noise like "Hands off our railway!!", managed to stay below the radar, and survived!

Very good. I've done many walks from the stations featured. Nice to have a reminder of the scenery.

I guess the purpose of these videos is to show the public at large the beautiful countryside they could be seeing if they travel by train. The videos made by Don Coffey and also by companies such as Video125 are aimed at railway enthusiasts and so are much more informative about the railway itself. It might have been better to start this video at Craven Arms, so we could see more of the Heart of Wales line, in particular the part of it that's actually in Wales! It's nicely filmed but I'm not so keen on the music.

what a lovely video, I feel nice and relaxed after that journey :)

[robertsrest]

The music spills it sooner hear real sounds otherwise great video

[goingnowherefastman]

Thanks, man...for the info on the stations along the route....and the fake rain...

[wayneharbin]

Beautiful musical chords throughout, makes it incredibly relaxing. Is this just improvised music or part of a cd ? Thanks Wayne

[bertspeggly]

Wonderful! Please do the section through Llandrindod Wells!

[daviddearden]

The journey I have just watched bears no resemblance to the description given above. The section from Shrewsbury to Knighton is in ENGLAND yet supposedly the filming location is WALES.Only in the final bit from Knighton to Knucklas does the line cross the border. We get to see none of the notable landmarks as the video ends at Knucklas station, just short of Knucklas Viaduct which is first on the list.

I cannot believe that whoever wrote/copied the description has watched the video.

Hower as cab rides go it was quite interesting

Viewers beware - you just about get into Wales, never mind the Heart of Wales! See the 'Welcome to Wales' sign at 53:47
