AWESOME!  One of the smaller railways I've been wanting to have a run on.

Thank you Lee san for sharing this as always! Much appreciated!

[Sascha]

Thanks for sharing Lee!!!

[fpav_2125]

Thanks for another episode

[kevsmiththai]

I watched it this morning before the Christmas day madness began and it's very good. The presenter has done one of these before and his rapport with the people he meets really adds a lot.

 

This and 'Japan railway Journal' really show how to make a good railway TV program compared to the truly awful 'Trainspotting live' drivel served up by the BBC recently

He has done two of these before.  Ep8 Aso Caldera and Ep5 Tohoku Winter.

Hello,

 

Yes, I tried. I received the following message.

 

 

Sorry, the file you have requested does not exist.

Make sure that you have the correct URL and the file existed.

[LeeC22]

Hello,

 

Yes, I tried. I received the following message.

Then all you can hope for is that someone else uploads the missing file.

 

I thought other people were helping out with hosting these files, I only have limited space on my Google Drive and that is now used primarily for my own project videos, so I can't do it. If nobody else is hosting these videos, then there is only ever going to be a single episode available at one time and only then until the next episode is released.

 

I only keep the original files, which means I would have to spend 20 minutes or so converting it again and then another 20 minutes uploading and I just don't have time to do that, sorry.

[Ochanomizu]

Ok ... hopefully someone can help me.

[JR 500系]

Apologizes for the delay...

 

I hope this is the episode you are looking for, Ochanomizu san:

Into the Harsh Winter of Japan's Far North

 

Our journey takes place in Japan's northern island of Hokkaido, where we travel to the northernmost part of the island using local train lines. The harsh Hokkaido winter scenery passes outside the windows, treating passengers to dreamy frozen landscapes bustling with wildlife. We even catch one of the few trains in Japan that runs through areas of heavy snowfall, as well as visit a travel lodge built in the style of an old train station, and even indulge ourselves with some famous eki-soba. This two-night/three-day trip will fill you with the magic of Hokkaido's winter.

For the life of me I can't find this in my network's guide. NHK listings are almost always inaccurate, and I'd like to see this!

I can't see that far ahead on my schedule yet, I can only see to the 6th Feb and this is on 4 days after that.

 

While looking, I did notice a programme called "Pioneer of the Shinkansen" but there are no programme details, so I don't know what it's about... I'll record it anyway, someone might want to watch it.

I created a thread with information of this Shinkansen special program:
