It's funny, when I was younger I loathed History & Geography, and now I can't get enough. Just life's long journey I guess.
With the Don Coffey videos being based around Manchester - Leeds - York I've got to know that area quite well in the last few months.His captioned videos are the best and most informative.

A lot of junctions in that area are suffixed with the old (pre 1921 grouping) railway company names like LNW and L & Y. (London & North Western and Lancashire & Yorkshire)
