I was not impressed by this! But I am giving Vueling a second chance this year, hope they don't blow it! 🤣

I had to give you a shout out Steve, your Rosslare to Santander Ferry vlog gave me the idea to do this vlog! 😄 It's not our first Ferry vlog, but it's our first time putting them against something else!

Thanks for the comment, it's nice to compare options for these various city to city travel methods, glad you enjoyed the Vlog, more of these types of videos are coming, plus we got a handful of others in a dedicated playlist! 😃👌

@southernairs as I'm reading your reply to my comment, I'm actually on a Scottish Citylink Coach going from Inverness to my home city of Glasgow. It is pitch dark outside and the coach got held up before Aviemore. A car collision on the A9. These are also the reasons I prefer the train but the coach is free for me within Scotland and all local buses and I can also take the bus for free to Carlisle or Berwick on Tweed if travelling on a local bus from Scottish Borders or Dumfries and Galloway like Carlisle to Dumfries bus or Edinburgh or Galashiels to Carlisle or Berwick on Tweed buses.

@@markm-1976 My thoughts exactly, train beats the traffic & most times gets you into the city centre, but the coach is so cheap and often you can get them at odd hours where as trains, not so much...

I quite like the new station, though its a shame to see the former train station and bus station looking like a shell of their former selves. But onwards and progress I guess, the new place is pretty nice and puts most major London hubs to shame...

Thanks Steve! Glad you enjoyed the vlog!

Glad you liked it! 1987 would have been a Boeing 747-100 or 747-200 as the 747-400 didn't enter service until 1989, that still sounds like an amazing flight experience regardless! Glad you enjoyed the vlog, we got a few 747 videos on the channel! 😄

Thank you!

Thank you! We've already been filming vlogs for 2025! 😄😄

Hopefully in our lifetime it'll grace the skies over Britain again!

Glad we could help! 😃 Hope your journey goes off well! 😄

Thanks for the information! I like XCountry on the BOH-SOU route in First as they do the snacks which you don't get on SWR by comparison. The standard product seems good enough for places I can't travel to by flying.

@southernairs yeah that's fair enough. Thought I'd give you a heads up about the longer journies to manage expectations. You are lucky to get a XCountry train on time too. More often than not they're crammed to the brim and late. I use it between Birmingham and Cardiff fairly regularly.

Its a nice small collection! I recommend visiting it for somewhere different! 😄

Honestly wouldn't be surprised 🤣😂

Let's Go Raiders! 😁

Have a happy new year too! 😄🍻

It's a pleasure to share our adventures! Glad you enjoyed this! 😄😃

Glad to finally get this out!

It sure made vlogging this a lot easier! Its not a big and fancy market like some of the ones in London or other major cities, but its a nice little one for a town like Bournemouth... Maybe I'll cover Southampton's next year?

Thank you Steve! Hope you & Alicja have a great Christmas & New Year!

Sounds like a solid free upgrade when you get train cabin to yourself! I quite enjoy Cross Country, Might use them for a trip in 2025!

Having flown Finnair a number of times in the previous decade, they're one of my favourites and an airline I would encourage people to try if they have a chance to!

It took a long time to get a long-haul business class flight, lots of saving on the Air Miles... Couldn't pass up the chance to make a proper vlog about it as well! 😃

I had no issues on the journey's I've taken with them. Bournemouth defineatly is far from the best train station, much prefer Southampton!

@southernairs unfortunately I have had the misfortune to get stuck on The bristol to Manchester run you book seats but they never hold then due to trains dangerously overbooked and over crowded every bloody time don't even talk about the home leg unless you board at the source you o ow your standing all the way

Thanks for sharing the information! Why am I not surprised they changed their minds...

The gig was amazing Steve, Alice Cooper puts on a fantastic show! The trip home can be found on the Cross Country vlog from a few weeks ago! 😄

Nice! Thanks for the information- I think I can see a new travel vlog coming up from that!

Nice, thanks for the information on the entertainment port on the seat. It was a comfortable ride on both trips in both classes!

Thanks Steve! Challenges of being a travel vlogger, am I right?

Thanks Steve, its a bit of a hassle to pronounce if you aren't familiar with it! - Tyler

@@steve-marsh I think it's pronounced a similar way to how you Scots say the name of Oor Wully but the second part is weeny.

Hopefully we'll get to cover a Travelodge with a full working restaurant/bar in the near future, see what our thoughts are on it... - Tyler

Thanks Mark, get well soon!

It's a shame its now retired and gone to new owners in Africa, the locals all seemed to enjoy this Embraer on the Gatwick run! - Tyler

I did mention toward the end that the BA Cityflyer flight was about £80 vs the Caledonian Sleeper at £240.

Jetlag was handled easily with my plan to arrive in Sydney late in the evening their time and go straight to my hotel! Thank you Steve! -Tyler

Don't know about the Jet lag but he kept forgetting time zones! He kept calling me at 5am UK time to show me hotel rooms 😂

@@matthewbanjomanwalker Whoopsie! 😆

Thank you Steve, your recent vlogs from Denmark & Iceland have been incredible and fun to watch! - Tyler!

Despite some of the long journeys, I do find National Express more cheaper and reliable than the trains for cross country adventures. - Tyler

Its a nice museum, glad I went back to visit it as I hadn't been since I was a child! 😃

We'll keep our eyes peeled if another chance lifts its head out of the Loch!

Its definitely worth doing at least once, I think once you've done it- then there's no real drive to go a second time. I did personally think the breakfast should come included with the suites though, paying the extra £8 was a bit of a joke.

@ perhaps the fact we talk about doing it once for the experience is the most damning indictment of the service. You should be able to see it as a genuine alternative to getting a red eye flight between London and Edinburgh but when it costs £250 and has such an inconveniently late boarding time it’s easy to see why EasyJet doesn’t consider it to off genuine competition to their product. Which is a shame because it could be so much better.

@@awild10 I don't think there's a demand for UK "red-eye" flights given the short distance and that most airports have restrictions on night flights- especially London Heathrow and London City!

@@southernairs BA used to do early flights from Gatwick to Glasgow and Edinburgh that could get you up to Scotland in enough time to be on site for 9am but they disappeared during Covid and have yet to return. Shame really because they were always busy so clearly popular. The Easyjet morning flight is a bit later so you don't get up to Scotland until about 10.

It was a fun experience! Very pricey, but worth ticking off if its something you are into!
