St Neots is a town and civil parish in the non metropolitan county of Cambridgeshire, England, within the historic county of Huntingdonshire, next to the Bedfordshire county border. St Neots lies on the banks of the River Great Ouse in the Huntingdonshire District, 15 miles (24 km) west of Cambridge and 49 miles (79 km) north of central London.
St Neots is the largest town in Cambridgeshire with a population of approximately 40,000 in 2014. The town is named after the Cornish monk Saint Neot, whose bones were subject to translation from the hamlet of St Neot on Bodmin Moor on consecration of the Priory of St Neots c. 980.
Pilgrimage to St Neots brought prosperity for the town, and it was granted a market charter in 1130. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the town enjoyed further prosperity through corn milling, brewing, stagecoach traffic and railways. After the Second World War, the town and its industry grew rapidly as London councils paid for new housing to be built in the town to rehouse families from London. The first London overspill housing was completed in the early 1960s.
St Neots lies in the valley of the River Great Ouse, partly on the flood plain and partly on slightly higher ground a little further from the water. The Great Ouse is a mature river, once wide and shallow but now controlled by weirs and sluices and usually constrained in a well-defined channel. St Neots developed at the site of a ford where overland routes converged. This was replaced by a medieval bridge, and today there are two further crossings just outside the town, one to the north and another to the south.
St Neots is approximately 49 miles north of London. It is close to the south-western boundary of Huntingdonshire District, and both the city of Cambridge and the county town of Bedford are nearby. St Neots railway station is located on the East Coast Main Line and provides half-hourly trains south to London (London King's Cross) and north to Peterborough. Journey times to London King's Cross typically range from 36 minutes to one hour. The station is managed and served by Great Northern.
St Neots is bypassed by the A1 which links the town by road with London to the south and Peterborough to the north, while the nearby A14 provides access to the Midlands and East Anglia. Regular local buses are provided by Stagecoach in Huntingdonshire and Go Whippet. St Neots is served by the cross country X5 service that runs between Cambridge and Oxford.
St Neots Museum, housed in the town's Victorian Police Station and Magistrates Court, has local history collections covering the town's rich past including a display about James Toller, the Eynesbury Giant, a resident from the 18th century who measured over 8 ft in height. There is also a gallery with temporary exhibitions by local creatives including fine art, ceramics, sculpture and illustration.

I have added the music as the wheels were squealing alll the way through the ride.
St Neots Vlog
Full of history, this museum was a fascinating place to conduct a ghost hunt. A few strange things happened during the night but whether they are paranormal or not is still to be decided.

Market Square (Paine & Co.) St.Neots Through Time
St Neots Through Time is a new book by Amberley publishing which will be available in April 2014. It shows views of St Neots taken from old postcards, with the current view of the same location with captions describing the scene.
St Neots used to be in the county of Huntingdonshire, but it is now in Cambridgeshire. If you ask locals what St Neots is famous for, they will probably give you one of the following answers: that at one time it had the most public houses per capita in the British Isles; or that it is called St Neots because some monks went to St Neot in Cornwall in 974, stole the saint s bones, and carried them 300 miles away to the banks of the River Great Ouse, thus founding the Priory of St Neots. There are actually four separate parts to what now comes under the heading of St Neots . Eynesbury is the oldest; Eaton Ford is just across the river to the west; and further on from there is Eaton Socon, on the old Great North Road. Beautifully illustrated with a selection of fascinating photographs, St Neots Through Time takes the reader on a journey through the development of this town and its surroundings.

60163 Tornado - A stint on the ECML | The Christmas White Rose - 14.12.19
A grand finale to my mainline steam of 2019. Running on her home terriorty of the East Coast Main Line, LNER A1 60163 Tornado, would haul The Railway Touring Companies Christmas White Rose from Kings Cross to York and return.
This tour was due to have A4 60009 Union of South Africa haul the return trip, but with her unfortunate failure a few weeks before, the A1 Trust agreed to have Tornado haul the entire trip.
Beginning at Arlesey we see the A1 at speed on the slow towards Peterborough before catching it lineside near Newark North Gate. Next came the highlight of the day as Tornado chimes through Doncaster past the old railway works where the famous Flying Scotsman and many other Gresley Pacifics were built, 20 minutes early as due to a fatality there weren't many service trains holding her up so she was let out of Babworth Loop. Because of this, by the time we got to York she had left the station so instead we head to the Railway Museum to see her being 'fed and watered' before heading to turn around.
If one steam engine wasn't enough, 7029 Clun Castle, who was running a tour from Dorridge to York, was next to Tornado in the station prior to her preparing for the return run. Returning to Doncaster the A1 passes giving us a few whistles before she is seen at speed again at Retford. After this was Peterborough for the water stop before Tornado gives a stunning departure. To end the video, Tornado is seen at speed again, this time at St Neots. We weren't planning on filming here, but she was switched onto the fast, which gave us the risk of it passing our train and us missing it.
I had planned to get some stills at Kings Cross afterwards, but upon arriving back Tornado almost immediately left the station, so no shots were captured, but nevertheless it was a great day out to the north with another fine chase of this locomotive!
With there being no more steam tours on the mainline this year that I can attend, I'd like to wish my viewers a very Happy Christmas and New Year, and as always give my thanks to you all for watching my footage over the past year. Stay tuned for more in 2020!

Miniature Railways of Great Britain Norwich Model Engineering Society Eaton Park June 2018
We made it! Four railways and a steam museum in a day, travelling around Norfolk,very busy but great fun.This is the last video from series/holiday six,we hope you have enjoyed them.Roll on series seven but that might be a little later in the year due to my National Fuchsia showing.
We arrived at Eaton Park just in time to catch the last steam ride of the day.I was always told that children should be seen but not heard! That doesn't apply these days!
A very nice location in the very pretty park,loved the wild flower beds.
The train twists it's way around these beds.A nice long 7 1/4,5 gauge ride.
