Oh my: Just two months before filming of this programme began, my husband and I brought my 85-year-old father -- the most committed railfan I ever knew -- on his "last hurrah" trip back to Britain. In November 2010, we three rode the Settle-Carlisle line, his favourite, on just such a wintry day as George filmed, and I treasure my dad getting to chat with various members of crew and stations along the route about his love of trains and this beautiful countryside. Happy happy memories, and a brilliant build!

I don't know why the planning commission doesn't allow their own architects to work with these new owners who buy these buildings for instance work and help them draw up plans that would be acceptable instead of folks drawing up their own plans that get rejected all the time. It just makes no sense that they haven't come up with a system folks can approach them and work towards a more effective system than the one they have been working with for decades and decades that only seems to cause grief and heartache to folks who venture out on such projects. The money time and frustration that folks have to endure is completely unnecessary as far as I'm concerned. Where not living in the 15oo's anymore we're suppose to be living in modern times aren't we? smh.

This is one of my favourite episodes. Such a beautiful restoration. And such a sweet couple.

[andreaandrea]

What a lovely couple! And George, as wonderful as ever. It was driving me mad trying to think of who it is that Mark reminds me of: Architect Frank Gehry!

[milliebanks]

George makes a wonderful host for this series! He has such grace and kindness with all concerned. Thank you so much!

Amazing and beautiful...well done...Bravo for this incredible save.

[ElsieDreamWorld]

Such a great, elegant couple. They know what they want and slowly but surely went ahead to get it done. Excellent

[michellestrawn]

I am always fascinated and the passion of the individuals who take on these restoration projects. But equally amazed that anyone would take these projects on given the arcane, obstuctionistic, bureaucratic and territorial rulings of the planning versus conservation offices. I don't really think they want to save these structures. Too much lip service. Those officers just want a job. But the persistence of the people who are so invested the continue despite these obstacles is absolutely awesome. Plus George is such an invested host. Love him.

I so admire Marks commitment to saving the railroad line!! A beautiful restoration:)

[tmcg]
