Ep7 - I Travelled FIRST CLASS Around Britain and Here's What Happened
I travelled around Britain for 2 weeks to film on every First Class train the country has to offer. I created a video series reviewing every single one, but in this 7-part "Behind the Scenes" special, I'll show you the bits you didn't see and give you an insight into the effort it takes to produce quality content for UA-cam.
In this final episode, I travel from London all the way up to Inverness with LNER. The next day, I make an epic journey back home to Wales via Edinburgh, Manchester, Sheffield and London. But will I make the last train home?

    Great Video. With Birmingham if you just changing trains the B end of the platform is better to change and you don't have to put your ticket thought the barriers twice. The beach looks lovely as well. Bacon and Cranberry... that a combination that I never seen before!

    I’ve taken an EMR 222 from Sheffield to Leicester and back in 1st. I thought it was okay. Certainly better than the XC Voyager I took in other parts of my journey. Just couldn’t get the wi-fi to work at all. I had some snacks and drinks on both trains.

    Heathrow Express first class was so much better before GWR ruined it by replacing the 332s with the 387s. Also worth noting that the 387s for Great Northern and Gatwick Express are identical. The GN ones were cancelled Southern units, and then the Gatwick ones were part of the order with the seats made red, accents made blue, and i believe a couple extra luggage racks. Its also worth pointing out that the 377/6s and /7s for Southern ALSO have the same interior. But I don't know if they fitted those with "First Class". Finally, all operators covered in this video have no guards, so you'll never get ticket checked. The only chance of it is revenue inspector checks in peak times. I'm not advocating for it, but there's not much stopping one sitting in First Class on these trains with a standard class ticket. (Also, G says hi 😂)

    Those Grand Central Class 180 DMUs were built in the year 2000 to 2001 but Grand Central have put a new order in for new trains, no idea what they will be but those Class 180s will be replace sometime in the future. Great video and don't blame you for bailing at York
