Great video guys. Really enjoyed that one! I was cheering for metro from the start but that cyclist is really fit whereas the metro guys stuggled a little!
Anyone else find it funny how the Metro people were panting after the short walk, while the cyclist didn't appear out of breath at all. That cyclist clearly has some stamina
Cycling is actually more energy efficient than walking; in fact cycling is considered more environmentally friendly than walking as you require less calories for the same distance which more than offsets the manufacturing of the bicycle. I was taking note of the skilful use of shared roads and cycling specific routes, but in the end a train won!
This definitely seems like a hoax set up between T&W metro and LNER to go see train quicker. That guy was cycling at maybe 30% speed, you could see in every clip how intentionally slow it was
Ya need a race from Peterborough Station to the big tesco at Serpentine geen, Bike vs car Vs Bus (plusbus ticket upsell opertunity) at least Xander would be happy with Tesco 😅😅😅😅, that or something to tie to the Nene Valley Railway,
I know that you guys probably wont reply but can i please know the date you guys filmed this? Because I think I was at the station trainspotting same time as the people in vid.
Reply if you can think of another challenge for the social team to take on 👇
Have they ever raced against Merseyrail?
London to Newcastle (Tower bridge to Gateshead selenium bridge) train vs plane vs car
Challenge who can do london to edingbrough but they all take difrent routes
Go on multiple train company's LNER, Grand central, Transpenine and northern and rate the trains to see which train wins
@@Lukelovestrains It's the LNER social media team... I feel there may be some bias there
I do like these Top Gear style races. 🙂
This was the video? Nice! Team Metro forever!

Hey do one Where you underline the comfort of terminating at King’s Cross at London, i love that when talking of LNER, loving too the snacks!
Maybe you could do race across York, London, Edinburgh, Inverness, Sunderland and Leeds.

That person on the bike was on his own whilst doing the race. Poor Andrew. Still this is a fun race. Keep up the good work LNER ❤️
He's a real trooper! Meanwhile, Charlene and I were doing karaoke 🤣
I see 😂

Who’d have thought someone could love a supermarket as much as Xander loves Tesco after seeing that train…
So clearly a cab is the quickest form of transport.
The race begins finally
*and my ticket from Leeds - Stevenage will be expired in 5 mins*
2 minute wait for a metro, aye right
This is interesting reminds me of Top Gear, great
I mean they even used some Clarkson I mean Harv 😉 voice clips,
And yet taking a bike on LNER is so hard!
I am sorry you feel that way. What issue do you experience? To take a bike onboard, you have to reserve a bike space on our website ^Josephine
They didn't trust xander to take metro because he might have forgotten to get off 😅

Hi Luke, it was 26th June. ^AB
@LondonNorthEasternRailway Thank you 😊
I think driving car,it's hard for their to find the place to parking
,and working to the car on a parking ground behind the station.
train race
Far too long a vid for a short race.
Very poor video no real content they don't tell you where they are or what route they are taking all you hear is corny music
