    Overnight ferry to Lerwick in Shetland with Northlink Ferries sometime? It takes 12 hours if direct or 14 hours if going via Orkney. Has a very rough reputation with heavy seas! Nice vessels though

    Hi, Lily!!
    Honestly, got to agree with the Amtrak food. I can understand not having a lot of room for better quality food in the cafe car, but that doesn't mean everything has to taste micromade, either. It's why I generally waited until I was at Penn Station in NYC or Union Station in Washington to get something.

    • @TheSpotify95
      @TheSpotify95 Рік тому +1

      Sure you don't want to eat food that is apparently worse than prison food? (I can't say whether this is true or not, as I have never been to America - and I have not, and do not, ever intend on going to prison!)

    Very interesting. I am not surprised you found the 'What is the most user friendly operator?' almost impossible to answer. If I were asked, 'Which country has the most user friendly public transport?', that would be easy. Switzerland! All public transport interconnects beautifully. Tourists should always buy a 'Swiss Travel Pass' valid on all public transport except lines which purely go up mountains. Staying with the Swiss I agree with you about 'Flirts'. But I would add that their double-deck equivalents called 'Kisses' (I am not joking) are also extremely good. Austrian Railways OBB (whom you rightly admire) and has no Flirts have just ordered 86 Kiss trains.

Thank you for the interactionness (trademarking that) and continue being wonderful. On a side note my friend of a decade randomly independently found out we both watch your videos and were rather happy about that, for me you are a relaxing way to wind down from a day (although I’ve run out of old videos, might be time for some reruns 😂). Anyhoo, stay safe keep vlogging if the need drives you and most of all, to quote a legend, be yourself. ❤️

    Sad train news here in the States, Canada and Amtrak are having an argument over payments for maintenance on the tracks from the NY/Canada border a Rouses Point up to just east of Montreal. CN has limited all trains on that section to 10mph due to heat kink problems, and it’s a 42-43 mile distance, so that’s 4 hours extra of delays. Amtrak has cut the Adirondack short at Albany (there’s really nowhere to turn the train around farther upstate.)
    Basically CN wants Amtrak to pay to replace the tracks with more heat tolerant ones.

    Thank you Dylan , that was both informative and enjoyable. I think you and your wife should do more of these. One question I would have liked to ask is about your pronunciation of foreign place names, they seem spot on? Have you a gifting for languages, and what gives you the confidence to travel and make yourself known in countries that aren’t fluent in English. Perhaps do a blog on the Ffestiniog or Highland railway which are local to us.

    Well, since my post on your car vs train video this morning, I see you did go to the shearing shed (er..barber). Great to see Eli contributing actively again - you've hit the jackpot there! And I see 4 of the 5 house managers participated as well! Now I think they might have had a say in you staying put in Bradford.
    Other things noticed are Tigger in the background and the boomerang at the side window. Ahhhh, does that mean you might come downunder? I agreed with most of the answers to the questions Eli put to you. Certainly Stadler Flirt trains have transformed the Greater Anglia experience and are proving popular in America as well. I wonder if they will ever get down to Australia. GBR looks like a Mexican standoff again between DfT, the Treasury and those who really know how to operate a railway and give excellent customer service. Enough from me on this presentation! NEXT, please!🙂😉🙂

    I really do like your videos and content and I do think that you should continue on making more videos. I got a question. Do you think that closing train ticket offices at railway stations is necessary and people to use ticket machines which most of the time these machines keep on breaking down.
    I travel on c2c and I’ve seen lots of ticket machines having issues and the people who commute on c2c are getting frustrated with what’s happening to their stations and having to see ticket machines closed permanently and ticket machines keep on breaking down. I do think that c2c are deliberately ruining people’s lives just by allowing these things to happen.
    And I have seen posters at Greater Anglia stations stating that their ticket offices at certain stations are to close which is a big mistake and I think it’s so wrong to close these ticket kiosks or having to change opening hours.
