Behind The Scenes At Corrour - Documentary

Corrour is one of our favourite places to travel to. In September 2019 we stayed for two days at the Station House to spend time with Shona and team that work there to see behind the scenes of the UK's remotest railway station (and of course to enjoy the trains too!).

Though I think you hear it frequently, I don't think this is being said enough: Vicki and Geoff, you are wonderful people!

[Johantheman]

Don’t often comment on YouTube but have to make an exception here. What a warm, delightful and interesting video. What a lovely bunch running the station. A gem. Well done Vicky and Geoff.

The drone footage of Corrour will never cease to amaze me!

Corrour, the station I adopted during All the Stations for helping out on Kickstarter. It’s a beautiful and remote station. It stands out. I love it

Every bit as good as Michael Portillos BBC series with a lot more enthusiasm to boot. The gang at the station house were naturals and I have now placed this on my bucket list, along with marrying Sandra Bullock. Brilliant job guys! 👍🏻

Possibly the best I've seen at far, I'll definitely be visiting next summer. Fabulous video. Thanks Geoff and Vicki. 😀

I smiled for 27 minutes straight. I love the energy

Having worked on British Rail(1968) have just found Geoff & Vicki rail travels. A walk down memory lane - thank you.

What great advertisement for Corrour station. I think post Corona they are going to have to take on more staff. Vicky and Geoff, a big thank you!

This one is a keeper, mate. It's a great behind-the-scenes look at the "back of the house" of a small British restaurant with unique delivery and service challenges.

And keeping the staff happy and sane while living and working in such close proximity in the middle of nowhere. (Shona was cute, too, but I digress.) I can see a BBC reality show in the making...

Well done, Jeff and Vicki. I felt like I was back in the restaurant industry, and thoroughly enjoyed your storytelling.

What lovely staff and location. Must go one day

[leonardduncan]

Watched this video and had to visit, did so last September just for an afternoon and glad to see Shona was still there. What a wonderful place, had an awesome late lunch and got some great pics from the old signal box. Next time I will definitely stay overnight. Awesome place !!!

Absolutely brilliant documentary by an exceptionally talented couple, many thanks for sharing.

[garrywilson]

Fantastic! You two are just the most natural, enthusiastic of presenters....and not afraid to get your hands dirty ( literally!). What a place....I intend to go there eventually!
If you are doing Barry Links, least used, give me a shout Geoff. Would like to do a follow up article from your all the stations one I had published. Cheers Garry

What a wonderful Sunday afternoon treat! Thank you Vicki and Geoff, i very much enjoyed seeing your great visit back to Corrour. And it is great to see more content being added to 'All The Stations', just fantastic.

Vicki is a natural at voice overs. When does she complete her training as a barista? Great video as usual. Kind regards.

I think this is my favourite thing you guys have ever done. Shona, Katie and Jo are so much fun and Steven has outdone himself with the music this time! More of this kind of thing please.

[mrmister]

As Geoff said “cute dogs, thumbs up” you now have a like from me 😂

[cythrosi]

I was actually here not that long after you guys filmed this. The wonderful staff were so kind to share that I had missed you guys by like a week. :') I've been eagerly awaiting to see this one go live because of that.


I also got the rare chance to drive into the station since the line had been shutdown for repairs but the Corrour Estate had opened the access road to visitors staying in the Signal Box because of the extended shutdown so that the Station House could still get a few visitors. The view driving in is still one of the most breathtaking (and harrowing) drives I've ever done. And despite it raining all 3 days I was there, the entire trip was an absolute delight. The staff at the Station House are absolutely lovely and it was so absolutely serene and calming to relax in the Signal Box with a nice pint of cider and take in the views while listening to the rain and wind roll through the Highlands. Well worth flying to the UK and then having to rent a car and drive up from Glasgow. I truly hope I can return soon for another wonder stay (and take the train to visit this time)!

A thoroughly enjoyable video. In fact it was so much fun to watch, I could have been mistaken for watching a TV documentary from BBC Scotland or STV (Scotland's ITV).
