A Disastrous Journey: TfW's Premier Service In Standard Class
I tried to spend the day riding on Transport for Wales's Premier Service trains in Standard Class, but the weather had different ideas.
TfW has a fleet of 8x Class 67 loco-hauled trains which they call Premier Trains. These 5-carriage units travel between Cardiff and Manchester/Holyhead and feature some of the best catering on any train in the UK. So I tried to spend the day eating through as much of the menu as I could whilst riding up and down the line.

"Seat Only" First Class Trains - When Upgrading Isn't Worth The Money
Переглядів 6 тис.2 місяці тому
I explore the world of seat-only first class trains in the UK to find out if it's worth upgrading. First Class train travel in the UK has the good, the bad and then there is the awful. 6 companies offer "First Class" service but without the First Class experience. They give you a seat only and nothing else. No complimentary drinks. No complimentary refreshments. In fact, you'd be lucky to be of...

I don't know how anyone can sit backwards on a train - especially travelling at 125mph/200kph 🤢
Great to see in all these LNER/King's X vids, finally someone uses the 1st Class shortcut to the platforms!
£242 to travel first doesn't seem that bad when it costs £193 for standard!
Note, I actually work for GTR and on Thameslink trains the standard class section do have seat back tables on unit numbers 035-060 and 125-155
The River Wye. Belmont Abbey School Rowing Team used to practice on it.
Pontrilas Station, between Abergavenny and Hereford, was a victim of Beechingisation. The station buildings became a private house. My Mam nearly bought it back in the 70s.
I'd just like to go on a first class train that actually that actually runs! Had a lot of bad luck on both TfW and Avanti recently. But I do love your videos, I have to say
Sounds like you've had incredibly bad luck. I've had a few issues in the past too - I think we all have - but in the main, the trains at least run the full route even if they do get delayed
No Arriva's 1st class catering beats LNER hands down but LNER has better 1at Class lounges
TFW staff member here ...... We do offer free sanitary items thru the at seat ordering (when it works)
Are you the guy I met on the train last week?
@TravelSoGood yes we briefly spoke 😁
TFW i find a bit of a joke 2 coach units for a long journey and u wonder why they are rammed
Sorry to say are you trans❤?
Proudly! 🏳️⚧️
@@TravelSoGood ❤️❤️ you are so beautiful
That egg and hash brown roll looked amazing. Add a Hashbrown to a Greggs Omelette Breakfast Roll and one to the Cheese and Bacon Flatbread at McDonalds. Another great vlog.
Surely that's the River Severn, not the Wye?
Google maps says it Wye. The Severn runs through Shrewsbury though so maybe that's what's you're confusing with?
Thanks that was a very enjoyable video 👍
I await the burger review! 😂❤
i think this was the day i was stuck ona 158 for about 3h between Shrewsbury and Gobowen due to flooding, not great when you can see water where the track bed should be
Yeah, possibly. It certainly could have gone worse for me. I kinda figured I was taking a risk heading north from Hereford but I had to continue for the sake of the video!
Great video Jen 😜. Those free Hereford buses are fruity buses! 🍎
I thought it was sponsored by Morrisons!
Our first ever long distance train trip on 12th October was awful. What was a five hour trip ended up nine hours because of a line side fire. As a terrified traveller it's scared me. Birmingham New street station is terrifying.
10 out of 10 for the food on those TFW services. It looked absolutely amazing The disruption later in the day was unfortunate. Shrewsbury always seems to be one of the first places to be affected by flooding when there's been heavy rain
Toasted cheese and Tomato soup is such a comfort meal, perfect for such a dreary day. After years of travel I now travel with a set of utensils in a little case which solves a lot of plastic/ wood displeasure.
Did you have to buy new tickets for the journey back to Cardiff? TFW's catering seems far superior to any other operator in the UK.
No. My existing ticket was valid on the diverted route. Although that said, I was only asked for my ticket on the first train out of Shrewsbury!
Great video! 20:03 lol i swear like 30% of your channel is tasting food! You should make a montage of food tasting of all the foods you have eaten on camera😂😂
Or how about an entirely new channel for it 🤔
@TravelSoGood oh yes!!! How could i be so dumb 😄 I remember you said you are starting a cooking channel!
So annoying the train on the way back was cancelled, it must be one of the worst downgrades from a TfW set to an overcrowded voyager 😂 looks like you’ll have to do it again for the cheeseburger soon!
Yeah... I'll try again soon!
brilliant vlog the TfW class 67 look amazing & ive yet to have a ride on one but ive seen a few out & about in the North West & Hereford looks like a lovely place to visit but maby not when its raining & i visited Shrewsbury back in Febuary when i spent a week in the Midlands & its a lovely town & i tried to visit the castle but i went on a Thursday & sadly it dosnt open on Thursdays
I remember this day a few weeks back, HD01, the train you were going to take, ended up sitting at Chester for a few hours and then went off to Holyhead. Pretty disrupting day, shame you didn't get back on them, I didn't actually know you could order stuff in standard, that's pretty awesome. Most times in standard I'm only on one stop, say Cardiff to Newport. I should try this one day, hopefully without the weather getting in the way, though!
It was a very bad day for the trains. I didn't even include everything that went wrong - just the pertinent stuff. But I'll be back to get my cheeseburger!
@@TravelSoGood Hi! I had it a few years ago when travelling to Newcastle. It was average, but I would recommend getting it with something else as there is nothing to accompany the burger!
Jen you put in the description that they are class 91 loco hauled, but that is LNER, TfW use the Class 67 for their premier services as they need diesel and the 91s are electric
Can you tell I'm not a train expert?! 🤣. Fixed. Also - Jen? I think you've got you trans trains UA-camrs mixed up 😜
@@TravelSoGood Yeah I can tell 🙃
aw you look so done with s**t in the thumnail 😥
Surprised that your train was running normally they are cancelled. Trains are crap good luck if you get a hot drink normally the boiler is broken
Been to Tenby before, nice place really, very scenic! I thought I had recognised the paths in the beginning, it's Llanharan, my hometown! What a lovely dog!
Have you been on the new Class 805 Evero that are now in service to North Wales and Chester. And later this year the Class 807 Evero will begin service to Liverpool Lime Street and Blackpool North.
Funny you should ask... I rode it earlier today! Vlog out in January :)
Good video
Found your channel entirety accidentally and I’ve got to say I’m loving it. Will be subscribing. Currently binge watching this series. Loving the earrings btw ❤
I can't think of any UK trainline company that can beat LNER!? Even LNER Deli first class menu (basic) beats all the first class menus from other companies together 😂 LNER ❤
Wonderful vlog. I think Drax enjoyed being on Tenby beach
Your dog is totaqlly adorable
Yay Coventry at 12:26 😊
You called your dog Drax? like the james bond baddie or the power station oop north?
Neither - He's named after the Marvel character because he's big and stupid but with a big heart :)
Puppy so big! I took my first train journey recently, thanks for your tips in previous convos. The coming home was a lot less stressful than going to my weekend destination (train slowed down coming into my first stop making us miss the connection). I'm still unsure I'm confident in getting on the right train to start with, if the time posted is the time the train gets there or is leaving. I assume it's the getting to the platform time and that the train at the station people are getting off is not the one I'm aiming for just come early. Because I nearly missed it first time despite watching the multiple screens with two trains coming to the needed platform. I assume my observation and understanding skills will 'level up' the more I do it and the more practise I get and lingo I learn to read.
What's the name of restaurant you went in please?
Hope and Anchor :)
Beautiful day out! Thank you for taking us! ❤ Drax is so cute!
What a gorgeous dog
This is what the railway is about - getting people (and pets) places! Another great vlog and Drax is super cute!! Tenby looks like a cool place, however a bit far from where I'm from 😅
Lovely vlog! It's funny i had a dream i was swimming in the sea at Tenby last night 😂
Haha! You might wanna wait 7-8 months before you realise that dream though! 🥶
