Fabulous video. I know this area so well and these ferries
If LNER kept the HSTs operating on the Highland Chieftain that would be so much better
Do they somewhere you can watch the Euros?
Enjoyable video 👍
15:11 December 13
Chance are if you tried to repeat the same trip another 5 times it would be cancelled twice due to lack of train crew. did Edinburgh to Newcastle with Lumo for 8 quid last year seats were better than L.N.E.R and trans pennine excuse
My brother disagrees because he traveled with lumo and he said never again
Good video with lots of detail. Find it hard to believe that one of the Beeching Plan's recommendations was that Newcastle-Edinburgh be either closed or downgraded (to a regional route) with England-Scotland mainline trains taking the WCML. And today we have four operators (including Lumo) on this sector.
The F Seats like on LNER are passable. The Standard Class seats are concrete ironing boards. Horrible. Well done on picking one of the only sunny days we’ve had this year for your trip up to Edinburgh. 😂
That breakfast item was tiny!
Very interesting. I like the look externally and the livery. I still haven't forgiven Transpennine for withdrawing the 68's/November 3's on the Scarborough route. Thankfully I did at least manage to get one trip from Scarborough to York last summer - involved a day excursion by coach from Skegness to York, as well as the bus from York to Scarborough. Turned into an unintended Transport Challenge and, fortunately, all went well 😂
Good watch on one of my favourite lines.
Great video, you must really hate Sunderland lol😂
Lol, it's not that bad - I used to holiday up that way a few years ago at Roker a few times and later at Seaburn 😊
Visually this was good to watch. The long sequence out of Newcastle really set the scene, and the early morning crossing of the Tweed was superb. I have never seen those reflections on the newer road bridge before!
the longer the class 720s stay the more we realize, it's bad its awful
I felt for you on that one; a noisy family, screaming brat, broken A/C and poor facilities like that hand dryer not working. Clearly a 2 car unit is insufficient for a service this long. Although TfW can't too much about the first two points, they should really improve on the others.
Hi mate, thanks fir watching - appreciated.
That's my main route to London. We get on at Warwick Parkway. It's normally £30 return for an adult and 2 children and often includes unlimited tube and bus travel around London too.
thanks for watching - appreciated.
It is still only a 65mph average.
Excellent camera work 👍 Job well done! Even though built by Hitachi, Azuma, is the poor cousin of trains in Japan ~ Thanks
Thanks for watching mate, appreciated.
An Gearasdan or Fort William in gaelic is my original hometown and a better journey you will nevr have than by coach to that town in Lochaber district
Locals of inverness have been known to refer to it as inversnecky

I did this overnight coach back at end of March and I was surprised how busy it was. I wondered if we were on the same bus because I went back on Easter Sunday
Hell is...other people!
Thanks for watching - agreed
It's one of my favourite train journeys this. Haltwhistle and the likes are beautiful. Old cast iron bridges.
Thanks for watching. Appreciated
That was a bit of an eye opener!! I never heard of that Birmingham station!!
hi mate, thanks for watching - every day is a learning curve 😀
My preferred route down to London. Avoids the ghastly Euston and it's a prettier route through the leafy Chilterns.
Will do the roundtrip as you did, in September this year. I´m danish and will flying to Inverness and return via Aberdeen. Nice Video. 😀
Its a lovely journey, thanks for watching.
Great video! These are my local trains as I live near Leamington Spa and I do really like them 😁
Thanks fir watching mate, appreciated
Interesting watch thanks 👍
Thanks fir watching - appreciated
Nice one! I'm bobbing down to brum on Thursday, and going to do the (hopefully) 68 to Leamington on the 11.45
Thanks for watching mate, appreciated as always
Bicester is actually pronounced as "Bister", oddly enough.
Like Leicester.
Hi mate, thanks for watching, appreciated. I did make a mental note but completely forgot about it when editing - doh.
I enjoy your videos, just a small thing it would be nice if you added a station tour at each end, otherwise great thanks
hi thanks for watching - I can certainly add that in future vids.
Going on there two weeks today to cycle around Holland.!
Thanks fir watching - enjoy
Shame they stop the catering… I think it happened during Covid
Great stuff and I am heading to Kent from Birmingham in July so will be definitely booking Chiltern for the first leg to London. 😀
Thanks fir watching - appreciated.
I love travelling on Chiltern railways. always a pleasure. I sometimes go up to Birmingham moor st station just for a day out . I leave from stoke mandeville station and sometimes have 3 changes to get the train from haddenham and Thame parkway to Birmingham. never have to wait long for a connection. lovely modern trains , always spotless and clean, very comfortable. I’m getting to like Birmingham, yes I’m a great CR fan. Love it .
😅ljj,xbwagwdywgwsfsasdg7gz yesfd
Thanks for the video. Chiltern is a worthwhile alternative to Avanti on its Euston to Birmingham NS service ... it's usually less expensive too.
thanks fir watching - appreciated.
Lovely video I will follow more sir
Hi mate, thanks for watching - appreciated nad thanks for the support.
great video and being a Sandancer have travelled countless times on this service and numerous loveable DFDS ferries past and present. just wondering why you left early, as the weather looked fine, but I would be happy with that as the longer the sea experience the better
Hi mate, thanks for watching - appreciated. I'm not sure, suppose if all have booked have checked-in mayne they can head off early. The weather was great for the most, and a really good crossing.
You would of thought Scot rail would of provided decent Trains for that journey of four hours such as providing HST’s instead of filthy old carts we’re very little catering or nothing at all 🤔
Hi mate, thanks for watching - appreciated. They're ok, really.
@@TheGeordieTravels Just made the journey last week. I thought the trains were fine and relatively comfortable, although I didn't like Inverness station much. The on train staff were brilliant and the price was more in line with continental rather than English fares... much cheaper.
Still prefer Virgin! And I guess the staff are still the same? They were great on Virgin too. (Unless you got a London crew)
Hi mate, thanks for watching - appreciated.
Its rather strange to see a Danish flag at the stern of a wessel there are in service from Newcastle and Amsterdam, but it makes me proud as a dane. at 12:15 - OH MY GOSH, do they even shows Danish comercials on board - thats a Rema 1000 commercial.
I believe all DFDS vessels are registered in Denmark?
Hi mate, thanks for watching - appreciated. DFDS are a Danish company.
May I ask which side of the train I should sit when leaving Paris? I noticed that at the start of your trip, you're on the left side but how did you get views of the coast and the sea (which should be on the right side, correct?) Please advise, I'm getting conflicting information online. I want to book a seat but want the sea views.
Hi mate, thanks for watching - appreciated. For this journey to get views of the sea sit on the right hand side. The train emptied at St Raphael-Valescure so i moved and manged to get a seat on the right.
Great report mate!
Hi mate, thanks for watching - appreciated as always and thank you for your cointinued support
SO MUCH more relaxing than the stress of airports & cramped planes.
Hi mate, thanks for watching - appreciated. Certainly agrre with that.
Why are there tickets sticking up on the seats?
