Really have to try a meal on the Seil - Luing ferry!

Thank you this helped my girlfriend and I who are both neurodivergent to alleviate most of the travel anxiety ❤

At 13:15 is there someone in a sleeping bag, sleeping on their knees?! 😂

Great video, and I must say the Class 380 EMUs are excellent. The newer Class 385s are not so good, and it was a shame that Scotrail didn’t buy more 380s !

Great stuff as usual! Little late sorry . UA-cam notifications could be better.

Another good video Tim, but I didn't realise you were a dark lord of the sith 😂

The nicest station i ve ever visited is Antwerpen-Centraal ;) I used to have an appartment with view at station and the zoo (which is next to the station)

Superb video as always Tim! You just don't realise how many ferry routes Scotland has, especially when you live South of the border like myself. I can't wait for the next one!

The 6th point could be Stranraer but you'd probably have to split that section at Carlisle.

I live in guernsey 🇬🇬 it’s really nice great for views and history hitler invaded us find out more at our guernsey occupation museum

It’s pronounced or re ny

It’s not orriny

Im a bit late catching this one Tim , love the factoids and chat 😊 The ferry did look like it needed updating , and a bit 'smokey' at the end ! Keep them coming Tim , love your trips ! 👏 Great value at £20 return for the entire trip !

Do you remember when you could drive into central up a curling driveway and onto the platforms… loved those days

Great video showing the trip. Did the exact same journey from Ardrossan to Brodick about a month ago on Isle of Arran but due to storm winds on the way back got diverted to Gourock so a 50 min sailing turned into nearly 2 and a half hours. The “auld trooper” is really showing her age now but she’s absolutely brilliant loved every minute of travelling on her and will definitely shed a tear once she’s retired. Hopefully won’t be long til the Caley isles is back from refit and the Glen Sannox should be due in the next couple of months. But brilliant video and keep up the great work.

I really need to try one of these rail and sail journeys! They look really fantastic, though I think I may need to pick a slightly less busy route. 😅 good work again Tim, keep the videos coming!

I remember the toilets before they became a tourist attraction. They were dirty and grotty and almost derelict. My wee home town looking a bit worse for wear these days. 😢

Love the Class 380s. We’ve had them on the North Berwick line for about 10 years now. I call them the UFO trains because of the weird sci-fi noise they make when starting off! 😂

Now do the crossing in winter 😂

No cafe, or food or drink on the chartered MV Alfred.

Love the question about the three stations town, and no, I have no idea! Think the rail/sail ticket thing must just be a glitch. In the same trip a year or two back, I just bought the combined ticket at Central station. Keep 'em coming 👍

Greenock has 8 stations (Bogston, Branchton, Cartsdyke, Drumfrochar, Fort Matilda, Greenock Central, West, and Whinhill) with a population of 40,000 so the ratio isn't far off there!

Another great video, Tim! Will look out for your next video!

Somewhere I didn't get when I stayed in Largs last year. Come to that, I didn't even get over to Great Cumbrae. But I did take the train into Central and thoroughly enjoyed the trip there and back. You're a true Stoic, Tim. Sitting there in audible and visible rain as if nothing was happening. Understatement at its very best. I'm looking to seeing Brodick next.

Looks like a nice journey, hope the weather cleared up! As for small towns with multiple stations, Ryde on the Isle of Wight has to be up there. And down our way the village of Brundall has two stations, on the same line..

I love your dry sense of humour. 'It's just started raining. Tremendous.' I hope you enjoyed your adventure despite the weather! I need to explore more of the Highlands and Islands - I just need 2 things. More time and more money! Great work as always.

Always a treat to see a new video of yours, especially when it's about some Scottish location.

I have been to the Isle of Arran Tim, on the MV Caledonian Isles. Mind you it was much quieter when I went at the start of May. This is why I tend to stay home in the Summer, just too busy for me. I’ll be back up to Scotland in Jan/Feb again probably!

A great trip to sunny Brodick! Aye that Arran ferry seems to be crammed all the time, I hadn't realised before that even foot passenger space runs out frequently, a popular wee island eh!

Great vid, Tim. I did this for a video a couple of years ago and I loved every minute. I need to go back for another visit someday. :)

Another great video/story for us Tim. Hope we have an upcoming one from Arran soon.

Haven’t been there … yet! We love a rail and sail or coach and sail adventure. You did a great job especially considering the summer holiday madness.

Agree, love the old ferries.

Think you have to book online on the website and collect the rail sail tickets or get directly from the ticket office as they need to issue you paper tickets.. the app cannot be used. The train you got I have experienced myself recently and frankly it’s the nicest train I’ve ever travelled with ScotRail, even the air conditioning works.. the ferry had 80’s vibes 😂

This was a nice watch, thank you Tim. 😮

OMG I'm just off the Northlink. Now it looks like I'm about to board again via your video :) AFTER WATCHING: Great video mate, I feel how tired you are right now, not moving today! I actually prefer finding a place on the floor more comfortable than the pods, I can't sleep sitting up. I wish they'd introduce some dorm style accommodation to cope with the summer demand and hopefully make them a bit more affordable than cabins. Hope you got some rest afterwards!

guess where my next trip in the motorhome is going to be!! What a smashing video as always Tim! I notice Mrs Tim's travels didn't join you for this one... I wonder why 🤣😂 I can't believe you mentioned 02:30 am and didn't say it was dentist time, but really did appreciated the Jane McDonald Vibes with the tour of the ship. Wow, I can feel how tired you are at 15:00, that's a man that really regrets filming this trip 🤣 I feel you should defiantly do this journey in February when the weather is bad! (sorry... 😆)....

Great video Tim! Think I'd rather take a cabin then a pod! When looking on the Northlink website some depart at 17:30 and some at 19:30... Do you know why this is?

As a foot passenger I think it’s got to be done once at least, and then fly otherwise if possible. Obviously if you can’t fly, the it’s your only option , as is the case when you are taking a vehicle. If you love ferries, then fill yer boots! Thanks for the video.

We just stayed in an apartment right across the street from Gravensteen in June and took the tour as you did. Plus it was cool to walk around the castle at night. Loved it, and really enjoyed your video.

I live near Aberdeen and I still have to do this trip with Northlink Ferries. One day! I still have to go to Scrabster and cross there to take in Orkney and Shetland. I have done the ferry plus bus from John O'Groats to tour Orkney. It is just getting time to do the rest. 🤔

Really informative and helpful. Thanks my friend. 👍🏽

That was a very informative video Tim! I’ve seen a few videos of people staying on those recliners and nobody seems to sleep on them..but at least you said it was comfortable 👍

For that little bit extra I think I would prefer a proper cabin!

Nice video, shame about the sleep (or lack). Back in 2005 I had a trip on this, booked as "deck space". At Aberdeen port they were offering "upgrades" to bed in a shared cabin for £40 - I took it. Slept really well, and I'm not even sure if anyone else ended up in the cabin at all!

Good report !! Right about the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, I have been impressed every time I went to Shetland !!

Aw, Shetland. A magical place. A lot of murders there though. ;) You’re a brave man just booking a pod. We’ve done the crossing (one leg in good weather, one in very stormy) and even as good sailors, we were very glad we took Steve Marsh’s advice and booked a cabin. Too bad you’re there just for the day though. :(

Brilliant Video Tim!
