From Monday through Saturday, at 5:16 P.M., a train takes off from Leeds and heads for the small English town of Snaith. At first, the cars will be jam-packed with people – the usual rush hour of a decent-sized city like Leeds. But with each stop along the way, you’ll notice fewer and fewer passengers on the train. Once you get to the final stop 55 minutes later, there will be no one else besides you. You get off the train at a station that’s equally as deserted. There are no vending machines or ticket offices, no parking lots, no taxies. It’s as if time has stood still. It’s quiet…and eerie. Other videos you might like:

The Real Ghost Train 7:23 #ghosttrain #trains #brightside SUMMARY:
– You need to buy a return ticket in advance since you can’t get one in a station without personnel. But you can only go back to Leeds at 7:01 P.M or 7:16 A.M the next day!
– These empty trains are listed in all documents as ordinary trains, so there’s no way to know how many there are. To find them, you need to search timetables for routes that trains travel no more than twice a day. – If you find a ghost train full of people, they’re most likely adventure-seekers like you!
– Tim Hall-Smith and Liz Morali are passionate about ghost trains. Over the past 25+ years, they’ve been to almost 50 ghost stations.
– The use of passenger trains has almost doubled since 1995. More travelers are riding longer distances, yet the number of trains hasn’t gone up that much.
– Ghost stations are primarily in ghost towns. Most passengers have already hopped off by the time the train gets to the final stop because, well, nobody lives there!
– Surprisingly, it’s more profitable for rail companies to keep ghost trains running than to close them.
– To shut down any route, they’d first have to figure out how this closure will affect passengers, the transport environment, and the economy. – There is a more positive reason why these trains continue to run – the hope that these lines will get busier.
– So, is that hope for a revival of old ghost lines worth keeping? Sure! Some routes are already seeing increased activity. – Yes, ghost trains are a common thing for UK residents, much more so than most other countries.
– Elsewhere, an empty train can seriously scare passengers. That's exactly what happened in 2016 in Belgium. – The train rode 7 and a half miles until another driver jumped into the moving cab and was able to stop it.
– It happened in the summer of 1911. An Italian rail company called Zanetti sent a small tourist train with about 100 passengers to travel around the country. – It entered the tunnel but never made it out the other side! Apparently, as the train approached the mountain, a thick white fog suddenly surrounded it.
– The tunnel was thoroughly investigated. There weren’t any signs of a crash, there wasn’t a shred of evidence a train had entered it. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

What If the Color Green Disappeared for 24 Hours
We’re so used to how colorful our world is, that we forget to appreciate the colors around us. Imagine what would happen if the most abundant color in nature suddenly disappeared? What would the world look like without green, and what would it mean for us to live without it? What’s your favorite green colored thing in the world? Apples? Northern Lights? Comic books about The Incredible Hulk? Imagine if they all suddenly lose their color and become bland and grey. Would you enjoy these things as much after that? Other videos you might like:

Why green symbolizes envy 6:20
The color of the heart’s chakra 6:45 #greencolor #green #brightside SUMMARY:
– Green is one of the richest colors there are. It has the most variety of shades and tints among all the others. – Green mixed with vibrant yellow will look fresh and juicy, but mix it with pale yellow and a little brown and it’ll look sickly and disturbing. – Dark green is associated with wealth and reliability; but make it just a bit darker and it’ll be connected with greed and look militaristic. – Green is associated with all movements that aim at preserving the ecology of our planet. – If the emblem of some organization is green – you know immediately that it has something to do with recycling or environmental clean-up, or the preservation of endangered species. – Being one of the most peaceful colors, it’s linked to reliability and safety. Lots of brands use this to their advantage. – The green pigment used in bills has proved itself to be sturdier than others. It simply doesn’t wear off with time.
– With green come the feelings of a fresh start, peace, and calmness that balance out the red perfectly for everyone’s favorite time of the year. – Green is so strongly associated with safety that, even before elementary school, we learn that a green traffic light means it’s safe to go.
– Pharmacies around the world also prefer to represent themselves with the help of shining green crosses. They’re immediately recognizable signs, making it easy to spot a drugstore at any time. – Ever heard of ‘green with envy’? And if someone’s face has a greenish hue, it might be a clue about how this person feels today. – Green also has a sacred meaning in traditional spiritual practices that have a lot to do with medicine and self-betterment. Like for example, yoga.
– According to this teaching, green is the color of the heart’s chakra, which is the main link between higher chakras based on meaningful and spiritual needs, and lower chakras that represent natural needs that are inevitable in human nature.

A Father’s Duty
I never actually realized how much I loved my son until that night. The night of the accident. We were driving on a highway, singing along to our favorite song on the radio, getting back home from an awesome vacation. You could probably say we’re a perfect family, the three of us —my wife Martha, our son Jack and me. None of us have an ear for music, but we still love singing and dancing. So, like I said, we were speeding along the road, happy and carefree for once. It was late evening, but the sky was still pretty bright, and the air was crisp and clear. I was behind the wheel, my wife sat beside me, and Jack was in the back seat behind her. I never noticed that jeep. The man who was driving it said he hadn’t seen us either, but… I don’t know what to think. Other videos you might like:

Martha was extremely lucky, but my son… 1:52
The least I could do for him 2:19
They don’t know I can hear them 3:47 #touchingstory #movingstory #brightside SUMMARY:
– He crashed into us from the right, and both our cars skidded along the road for a dozen feet or so before stopping.
– My heart skipped a beat at first, but then I sighed shakily with relief: they were unconscious but alive. I’d never been that thankful for seat belts.
– Martha came to her senses in the car, but Jack didn’t. The paramedics said it was alright, he was just knocked out, but I couldn’t stop worrying.
– In the hospital, after several long hours of restless wait, they said Martha was extremely lucky.
– It turned out to be his kidneys. The impact shook Jack so much that they were failing. He needed a transplant, and soon. I was… petrified. – When they asked me the final time whether I was ready to donate one of my kidneys to Jack, my answer was a firm “yes.”
– The surgery was then scheduled for the following week, when Jack was ready.
– The operation was successful. My son had my kidney in him now, and he was doing fine. – The kidney he received adapted well to his body. He called me his hero. What else could a father wish for, right?
– Jack graduated from high school and went on to college. I was never so proud as on the day he was accepted. – They come to visit me every month or so. They sit beside me, share the news, tell me everything that I missed and update me on their current affairs. – They don’t know I can hear them, but they still remember and love me, I can sense that. Yep, I didn’t make it that day. But that was alright, I was ready for it. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

What If the Titanic Sank Today
Sea travel is safer today than at any point in history. But still, how worried should we be? Could a Titanic-like disaster happen today? Before we can answer our main question, we need to know what led to the sinking of the Titanic becoming one of the worst maritime disasters in history. Everyone knows the basic story: the ship hit an iceberg and there weren’t enough lifeboats. The first big issue contributing to the ship's demise had to do with the culture of early twentieth-century ocean liners. The captains of these ships were under constant pressure to keep a tight schedule of arrivals and departures. Additionally, it was widely believed that icebergs didn’t pose any significant danger to ships. Other videos you might like:

Ice patrols 4:22
How icebergs are detected these days 4:44
Costa Concordia disaster 6:41
If the Titanic had struck the iceberg today 8:43 #titanic #CostaConcordia #brightside SUMMARY:
– At the time, it was common for ship's radio operators to work for a third-party company. Relaying messages to the crew was the second priority to sending private telegrams for the passengers. – Additionally, it was widely believed that icebergs didn’t pose any significant danger to ships. – The lack of lifeboats was also due to a misunderstanding of how any potential collisions would play out, and not just because they would be redundant on an invincible ship. – No one had ever anticipated the need to evacuate everyone on-board onto lifeboats.
– By 1912, ships weren't yet required to have someone operating the radio 24/7. – Making matters worse was the fact that the Titanic's radio operator reported the wrong coordinates in his SOS. This meant that even the ships that received the call had trouble finding where the Titanic had gone down.
– After the Titanic sank, many new procedures were established with the hope of preventing similar disasters. – One of the first was the establishment of regular ice patrols in that region of the North Atlantic.
– Another reason today is better than a century ago is that our iceberg detection has gotten a lot more sophisticated.
– Accidents can still happen, so it’s a good thing large vessels are now required to carry enough lifeboats for everyone aboard, and the crews receive training in proper evacuation procedures.
– Modern ships are also required to have a radio operator on duty at all times.
– A good example might be what happened during the 2012 Costa Concordia disaster.
– The Italian cruise ship was passing close to the island of Giglio when it collided with the edge of an underwater plateau. – It was later revealed that there were numerous distractions on the ship, such as the presence of the Captain's girlfriend. – Unlike the Titanic, the Concordia had more than enough lifeboats to get everyone off safely. – If the Titanic had struck the iceberg today, the Coast Guard would’ve deployed a small fleet of boats and helicopters to assist in the evacuation.
– With a competent commander overseeing an organized evacuation, this modern Titanic might not be considered a disaster at all. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

What If There Was No Electricity for a Year
A person can go without food for a couple weeks, water for a few days, air for mere minutes. But without electricity … it's hard to say. It all depends on where you live, what survival skills you have, and how much you depend on the conveniences of living on the grid. But let's see what will happen to humanity if electricity disappeared for, say, a year! So, there’s a bit of charge left on the phone, but your mobile data isn’t working. Nobody suspects that communication towers have shut down, which means no calls, not even emergencies! For now, all you know is, the Internet is gone! You don’t have any offline games either. Your phone is nothing more than an overpriced calculator now… Other videos you might like:

⚡️ What happens if natural electricity disappears? ⚡️ – Lightning 6:57
– Electromagnetic fields 7:25
– No more light and time itself! 8:07
– New Beginnings! 9:13 #noelectricity #whatif #brightside SUMMARY:
– You head to your favorite cafe. Hey, why not grab a latte to pass the time? The barista cuts you off as soon as you walk in the door. – You overhear a group of people talking about a nasty crash on a busy intersection. Oh yeah, traffic lights don’t work now.
– First thing’s first, a nice hot shower to wash this crazy situation away. …No tap. The toilet doesn’t flush either.
– All you notice are dimly lit windows – everyone else is lighting candles too.
– The perishables in your fridge have long reached the point of no return. You throw out your milk, eggs, cheese, and so on. – You better have cash on you – card readers aren’t going to work. Neither will ATMs. Anyone with money in the bank now has no access to it… – Emergency generators are already running out all over the world – the most powerful models can only go for 24 hours max.
– The global economy is plummeting. Commerce, banking, trade, national and personal debt – they’re just gone overnight! – Small communes have sprouted up everywhere. People extract water from wells, they stay fed thanks to agriculture and fishing. – Light appears! Once they fix things up and electricity is back, it’ll take at least 10 years to fully restore the economy, infrastructure, and production. – There’s a layer of it in the atmosphere that protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet and cosmic radiation. Lightning benefits the planet in lots of other ways too.
– Electromagnetic fields make all atoms and molecules stick together to form tangible matter – that is, you, me, and everything around us. – If the charge in the electrons disappears and they stop repelling, then gravity will begin to squeeze them together with such force that a black hole will arise and begin to absorb all matter!

– Drawing makes your right brain hemisphere work like a hundred horses, triggering creativity and helping you find unconventional solutions to problems at hand.
– Automated actions stall your brain since it’s not taking an active part in what you’re doing. To avoid this lack of memory and train your brain at the same time, change up your routine every day.
– You can get a degree that fits your schedule, and avoid student-debt at University of the People, the first non-profit, US-accredited, online university, where you can get a tuition-free Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in the most in-demand fields like: business administration, education, health, computer science.
– If you’re a righty, take a spoon or your toothbrush into your left hand and do the usual stuff. Lefties, you’re now righties for the day!
– Typing on a keyboard or smartphone is okay too, but actual writing with a pen on paper activates critical-thinking and increases your analytical skills.
– When you learn a language, you take on a whole new system, and your brain has no other choice but to adapt to the circumstances.
– Chess is one of the oldest strategic games in the world, and it’s stood the test of time because it’s awesome, as simple as that. If you play it regularly, you’ll learn to concentrate and think bigger, taking actions that will affect your life a few steps ahead.
– One 2015 study found that action video games in particular improve reaction time, observation skills, and decision-making.
– House work also contributes to your brain power. It boils down to physical activity (which is great for the noggin, but more on that later!). It’s also effective at taking your mind off the bigger problems too.
– Walking increases your blood flow, which means more blood (and oxygen that hitchhikes along with it) reaches your brain. This boosts the thinking organ’s activity, making it more flexible when it comes to important stuff.
– If you have a sweet tooth, this one’s for you: chocolate contains an important amino acid, lysin, that helps your brain process things faster and with more efficiency. It’s only about dark chocolate, though, because lysin is found in cocoa beans.
– Here’s a simple exercise that will fill your brain with oxygen and let you feel a rush of energy. Exhale all the air from your lungs and hold your breath for as long as you can. When you can’t hold it any longer, breathe in powerfully and repeat. The influx of air into your lungs will send oxygen to the tissues, and your blood will start pumping faster.

Why Objects Fall If There Is No Gravity in Space
Have you ever wondered why stars fall at all if there’s no gravity in space? We have all seen astronauts swimming in the air on ISS like fish in the water. But if you think that it happens because there is zero gravity there, you’ll learn something new today. “Zero gravity” doesn’t mean there is none of it. If there were no gravity in space the Earth wouldn’t be able to hold the Moon near itself. All the planets and stars would just fly across the Universe freely, bump into each other and – well, it would probably end things really quickly. Gravity can be tiny but never absent, this is one of its laws. Other videos you might like:

Why ISS can't rise too high 3:08
Is “zero gravity” a myth? 3:44
Why shooting stars appear in the sky ☄️ 4:23
Where does the star shower come from? 6:00 #stars #space #brightside SUMMARY:
– The Earth's gravity is only 10% less in the orbit than on the ground. If we build a platform 190-250 miles high (it’s the altitude of ISS above Earth) and throw a stone from there it will fall down just the same way as it falls down from your balcony. – But then why don’t astronauts just walk on the floor of ISS as we do on Earth? The reason for it is that when in the orbit they are in a state of a constant free fall to Earth, and the ISS itself is also falling to Earth all the time. – Why don’t they raise ISS higher above the Earth where astronauts won’t have to free fall? – Astronauts can stay on ISS for so long because the uppermost atmosphere protects them from solar radiation.
– At the altitude above 310 miles, there are radiation belts that have a destructive impact on humans.
– If a body is far enough from a space object the gravity of the space object will be too small, and their mutual attraction will roughly balance each other.
– What we take for shooting stars are just small stones floating in space and their orbit or our orbit, makes us run into each other. – The speed is so high that the air gets super-hot and starts shining. – In science, shooting stars are called meteors. If parts of meteors do reach the Earth's surface they are called meteorites. Super bright meteors are called fireballs.
– Hundreds of millions of meteors appear in the atmosphere daily. Their total weight can be thousands of tons. – Meteors can form as a result of a collision of another planet and a smaller space object. – Small space bodies can have quite a different direction but if they come too close to the Earth, its gravity will turn them around and pull down.
– Astronomers watch closely all the big space objects that could potentially get too close to our planet when moving along their orbit. – If you trace the way of meteors on the sky it will seem that they all fly out of the same spot. It is called a meteoroid stream radiant. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

What Happens After You Flush on a Cruise Ship
These days, any cruise ship is like a huge city, where every detail is thought out so that passengers feel just as comfortable as on land, only better. You can take a shower, do the laundry, or swim in a pool. But where does all the dirty water go? The average ship spends about 40-50 gallons of water per passenger every day. It makes tons of wastewater that needs to be utilized. Say, the world's biggest cruise ship, Harmony of the Seas, can carry about 5,500 passengers together with 2,300 crew members. They produce about 312,000 gallons of wastewater daily! Other videos you might like:

How wastewater gets cleaned 1:28
Why you shouldn't take water from one ocean and throw it into another 2:42
What about other kinds of waste? 3:55
Where does all the water on the ship come from? 6:14 #ships #howitworks #brightside SUMMARY:
– Even though the passengers don’t notice, the water supply system onboard the ship is designed to use the water sparingly.
– And still, the average ship spends about 40-50 gallons of water per passenger every day.
– Greywater comes from laundry, showers, baths, and kitchens. Blackwater comes from bathrooms.
– The highest volume of wastewater comes from greywater. It gets mixed with some of the blackwater and is sent to the bio-reactor. – Chlorine and other chemicals aren’t used since they’re bad for the sea’s eco system. – The solid waste that was filtered at the first stage is kept in special tanks until the ship arrives at the harbor where it’ll be utilized. – Scientists have noticed that ballast water taken from one ocean and thrown into another is bad for the ecosystem. – The species of plankton and other sea inhabitants vary in different oceans, and the “strangers” can start destroying the “natives”. – Sensitive detectors measure the level of oil in the water, and if it’s even a bit higher than what’s allowed, the water is sent for cleaning again.
– There’s special staff on board every ship who sort out the garbage into 4 categories – food waste, paper, metal and glass, and plastic. – Most of the food waste is considered natural: it doesn’t do any harm to the sea’s ecosystem.
– Household waste, cooking grease, and solid waste are kept on board until the ship arrives at the harbor and is utilized there.
– Metal and glass are just thrown overboard. Surprised? These two just drop to the bottom and do no harm to the sea. – Strict rules also apply to the passengers themselves. On every deck of a cruise ship, there are usually special instructions that forbid them from throwing anything overboard themselves. – Turns out, all cruise ships have desalinating plants. When the ship goes farther than 25 miles from the land, they take seawater, which goes through a many-layered filter, a powerful ultra-violet lamp, and a desalinator.
– The desalinating plant is the size of a room and gives enough fresh water for all the passengers and crew. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

I don’t know what happened, but it all started a week ago. I was remembering the good old times and playing Morrowind, and I lost track of time. Late at night, I just fell asleep in front of my PC, and that’s when the crazy stuff began. I woke up because I heard the voice of Jiub… right in front of me. He was addressing me — not my character, but me. I thought I was still dreaming, but I could literally smell the prison ship, and it was all so… real. Then I accidentally bumped into a table on the way to the exit, and it hurt a little. That’s when I knew it wasn’t a dream at all… Other videos you might like:

I find myself in the Minecraft world 2:49
Attempt number 3 – Fortnite! 6:06
I was unprepared for that kind of ordeal! 😱 7:27
And this is how that ended 8:30 #gaming #videogames #brightside SUMMARY:
– Long story short, I spent a full day in Seyda Neen, looking around, talking to people and actually doing quests from the game.
– But then night came, and I spent a few coins for a bed, anticipating my trip to Balmora the next day. …but I ended up awakening in my own bed. – The following night I decided to play a little bit of Minecraft. Yeah, I do that from to time to time to relax. This time, though, a weird idea came to me. What if I stay up late again and see what happens? I mean, I’d already been to Morrowind, why not the Minecraft world?
– I looked at my hands, and they were made of blocks too. I woke up in a forest biome, so everything around me was lush green, but there was also a cave nearby, with its ceiling half collapsed. – I spent the rest of the daytime exploring the glades and woods. By the way, the day lasted just like it would in the real world, not only 20 minutes. By the nightfall, I got a bit tired, so I settled down, built myself a lean-to, and made a fire.
– I supposed I had no choice but to lie down and have a nap. I fell asleep very quickly, just hoping it wouldn’t end like the previous time… …yet it did. I woke up again in my own bed. – I spent the whole day in anticipation. I’m not that much of a gamer, you know, but all this was so exciting that I couldn’t really concentrate on anything else but my next virtual adventure. – And the game I chose was Fortnite. No, I didn’t just give in to all the hype around it; I wanted to actually see what it would be like to participate in a battle royale from the first person perspective.
– It was so weird feeling my legs working and realizing that someone might appear from behind any wall or tree at any moment, with their intentions being anything but good. – I sat with my back to some tree and watched my surroundings intently for any signs of other players. Or were they really players? Could it be that I wasn’t alone in that strange world?
– I felt a sudden hit to my head and lost consciousness. I guess that was the end of it.
– I came round at home again, as I always did after my adventures. But this time I felt it was different. Both the first and the second time I simply fell asleep in the game world, while now I’d been, well, obliterated. – My head hurt, so I took some painkillers and went for breakfast. But I was already thinking whether I’d be able to come back to that world, or to any other, for that matter. – I played until I fell asleep again… and woke up in what felt like a couple of hours, lying face down on my keyboard. Yep, that was really the end. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz
