I was thinking KTV Videos for the train spotting experience. His Every Platform videos are quite informative.
Seen Starlife Studios, an excellent channel, will have a look Boogies, cheers.
Thanks, I added that to the list.

Good video material, but sometimes I wish there was no Voice over.
Non Stop Eurotrip, Simply Railway, Superalbs and Dylan's Travel Reports.
Occasional videos from Paul Lucas/Wingin It and Noel Phillips are railway based and they do other transport too which may also interest members, and certainly interest me

Each to their own I guess, but I quite like voiceover on trip reports rather than at a stations watching trains go by.

Quite like both
That surprised me, do you prefer video graphics and what info do you like to see if any?
Thanks for those, some big channels in that list. Like the look of Dylan's channel.

In videos where it is: ‘Trains at ……’, I prefer text to tell me information, like starlife studios who shows TOC, destinations, whether it is on time etc. However, when it comes to trip reports, I don’t mind either.

For railway history, this chap does great videos (as well as also doing aviation, cars etc).
I'm finding the travel Vloggers a bit uninspiring recently, they seem to be running out of new and interesting places to cover or collectively re-covering ground that someone else has already done.
Left of field, Bald and Bankrupt is/was an excellent Vlogger who has done some interesting stuff away from the commonly-covered Anglosphere, although he is now sadly banned from Russia where a lot of his content was made and his recent stuff hasn't been quite the same:
Downielive does some interesting stuff too:

Thats good to know, I also rate Starlife, his more recent graphics are very informative.
Thanks for your input, I was thinking along the lines of trainspotting, modern rail, and depots in the UK. That said I like "The man in seat 61" channel and he has a great website with loads of information.

Knowing people in the rolling stock industry, is it just me that wonders how none of the "depot flyover" drones have not been shot down yet.
I certainly wouldn't dare to imagine the repercussions of a fly-by in Leicestershire or Warwickshire...

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned 'Pennine Trains' yet....although, right enough, it's pretty pedestrian and the photography - taken with a fixed wide-angle lens smartphone - is pretty crap. Must have a word with the guy who runs it and see if he can be bothered to make some improvements.

Yes I'm surprised the video over flying the Worksop Harry Needle Railroad Company depot did not attract any attention from the owner.
