I've done this trip lots of times and it never disappoints. You give a very good representation of the journey, Steve. It really is a relaxing, hassle free way of travelling.
Glad to hear you support the P&O workers. I stopped getting the Cairnryan to Larne crossing, even though it’s more convenient for me, and started getting the Stena Line to Belfast.
Here's a similar one we did. After the boring flight to Vancouver, it was a coach which went on the ferry to Vancouver Island, then back on the coach to Victoria BC. The driver actually asked what hotel we were staying at, and took us there. Up in the morning to get the float plane to Seattle for a family reunion. Pretty magic, coach and boats and planes.
@@derekbryce2632 It was a magic trip. Mind you, all the luggage had to fit in a DeHavilland Beaver float plane - best bush plane ever - so we didn't have much. My family is in Seattle. Not far away so Vancouver is pretty familiar.
@@chrissaltmarsh6777 haha I know the feeling! I flew the Harbour Air seaplane service from Victoria to Vancouver harbours once and got to sit in the co-pilots seat … I guess they don’t need one on a flight so short. I’m just back from BC and flew s larger (but not that much!) Pacific Coastal Airlines Beachcraft from Penticton to Vancouver which my brother in Victoria likens to sitting in a VW van being tossed skywards by a giant slingshot! 😂Fantastic part of the world indeed. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 ✈️
@@derekbryce2632 The islands to Vancouver Island remind me of the Wertern Isles of Scotland (I live on the East). Morning and mist - you're off with the faeries. But also the wee prop-planes. A lovely part of the world.
Same with me Steve when I hop on a ferry to go to Alba. I drop my bags in the cabin and head out to the deck and reflect on the start of a lovely vacation with a wee dram
Found your channel through "the algorithm" and am really enjoying your back catalogue. Fantastic camerawork, editing and music choices and stunning locations with calm, relaxed and informative narration. It's made me want to explore Scotland, NI and the islands more - you're certainly doing the locations justice with your videos and capturing their vibe really well. Thank you Steve!
Steve the sea coach was very kool great scenery sunny day and you got a little sleep (and some fish and chips) . Your right glad the bus driver knows his job👍And home again Thx Steve😘
Hi Steve...wow....so many " double decker" buses ! Both in Ireland, and Scotland. They are a bit of a rarity in Australia. I tend to see then only on Skybus routes. ( Skybus routes tend to connect larger airports with the closest CBD) Love all the seagulls perched on the bow of the ship . Did I see correctly that the drivers drive those trucks on one end of the ferry...and when they get to their destination, they drive off the other end ? Wow you know roughly how many trucks and buses it can hold ? I presume cars are on another deck.. I makes one realise just how big and tough these ferries really are ! Such lovely weather for you too .
hi heather they are called RORO ferries roll on, roll off designed so ships do not have to take ages offloading and reloading faster turn around. hey did you spot the huge great double axel coaches right in distance at coach station, they are called Metroliner style coaches, some have toilets, some have sleeping pods and a bar even. great for a band tour couch when you hit the big time.
The Tasmanian ferries out of Melbourne & Sydney to Devonport in Tassie are RO RO ferries . You enter from the Front in Melbourne and exit from the back in Devonport in Tasmania . That can be a very rough crossing too particularly around the the heads near Melbourne
Retired Coach driver, enjoyed your vid as I used to do a duplicate service for Ulster Bus back and forth from Glasgow to Cairnryne. Loved the folk from NI.
Did this trip with my daughter in 2019. Was good, but she discovered she gets seasick on the ferry over. She was not happy with the journey (LOL). Was nice to get to watch the countryside go by once in Scotland.
Hi Steve, I only discovered your channel this morning, and by this evening it is my absolute favourite channel on UA-cam. So much content to watch ... after a few more days of viewing pleasure I'll suggest some more "Northern Ireland" adventures for you. In the meantime - THANK YOU!
Thanks so much again Steve, I love travelling and sightseeing with you.. I still get a kick out of seeing all the double decker busses.. cheers Julie in South Australia 🇦🇺 🥰
Another great video. I’ve done this route the other direction before but with Scottish Citylink where the coach doesn’t actually go on the ferry and you connect to a local bus at the Belfast end, meaning you have to transfer your bags. This service looks better. Great trip, as you say, especially on a nice day. I’m just home from Canada and last week I travelled on a very similar service from Vancouver to Victoria on the BC Ferry Connector, which is also a through coach/ferry/coach service using the same bus. A very relaxing way to travel. The driver from Vancouver was telling me he’s amazed more people don’t use it over there. I guess people really like their cars.
Hi Derek, yes, the fact that our coach goes with you the whole way is such an important part of our service and why so many people use it. We handle the check-in process as well so passengers don't have to worry about that either and can sit back and relax. 🚌🚢🚌☺
Really enjoyed the video, Steve. Very professional indeed. Well done! Ps As an "aviation" aficionado, would love to see more journeys around Scotland and all the islands. Many thanks
Great video Steve… A number of firsts for me… I lived just outside Belfast for a time, but I’d never seen inside City Hall - looks fabulous. Didn’t even know you could get a coach from city centre to city centre - that’s really useful. And the price seemed good too… Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Steve. Fairly painless trip and lovely weather helps. Time to do a program on the hideous buildings of Glasgow -- you'll be spoilt for choice -- starting with the one opposite the entrance to the bus station.
@@steve-marsh cheers Steve it's actually Glasgow to Belfast and i have a flight booked home later in the week. Hope you made it back to Montrose, where my hometown team Shotts Bon Accord are playing in the Scottish Junior Cup this weekend!
We get that a lot!!! 😆😆😆We can reassure you that he is older than that and a fully trained and experienced PSV driver 👍👍👍 As Steve say, that drive on to the ferry is only for most confident of drivers...
@@hannoncoach8909, I'm sorry, I hope I didn't offend anyone. My dad & I were two of those people who looked 10-15 yrs younger than our ages, but now at 61, I am the one who is saying how young he looks. He will be thankful when everyone around him looks old and he is the young looking fella in the group.
This looks fab, this is what I wanted to do, but its the rail cost from the south coast of England to Scotland, hence booked a flight.. Really enjoying your back videos....ps..Pleased you took Stena Line..
Looks like a great idea! I didn't know this option existed, but I may just use it on my Scotland trip. There's a friend in Belfast I'd like to visit while on my journey across the Atlantic, and it would be cool to see the Rory Gallagher statue too.
Master of transportation does it again. I'd agree this is a good way to get from point A to point B. Plus the food is better. View's, scenery looked great on the big TV. Take Care!
Belfast City Hall is certainly a lovely building .. funnily enough the City Hall in Durban, South Africa is almost identical. I was born in Northern Ireland, so when I was in Durban and noticed their City Hall, I thought it was similar, so checked on t'internet .. 100% correct.
We get great feedback about the beautiful scenery from our international travellers using the service - on a good day like that it is hard to beat. Some passengers have even commented that the Ayrshire coast drive is better than many scenic tours they have been on!!! Ailsa Craig ⛰is a particular highlight 😁😁😁
Always enjoy your vlogs Steve. I'm currently in Portstewart in Northern Ireland. You just can't beat Stena Superfast ferries to and from Ireland. Totally professional. The rail and sail fare and the coach and sail fares are great value too. We normally take the car due to my wife's disability and because we come for more than a week at a time.
@@steve-marsh the weekend has been made better by the arrival of your video, down to the Gold Coast on Sunday to catch up with an old mate and to have lunch at one of the pubs down there. cheers and all the best to you and Alicja. Cheers.
Thanks for that brilliant video! Only just learned today that there are no hire car companies in Cairnryan anymore and was stressing about how to get where we needed to go. We are now spending 2 nights in Glasgow! What's another 2 nights away after all .... how good is retirement!! Thanks again!
Another great video Steve.....what a really cool system this is of bus/ferry/bus.....looks like a lot of fun & a nice relaxing day! Thanks again for taking us along to enjoy all of these new adventures that we didn't know existed!
Wonderful trip! Just my kind. You get on you go to your destination and you get off. No changing no waiting in Lines no bustling people. And that was a good idea of yours to get supplies before you get on the ferry. Although the meal looked very tasty. Thank you once again for the trouble that you go to to make these videos for our entertainment. Say "hi" to Alicja for me. Be well, stay safe, travel far, love from Texas.
Thanks Kate! This is one of the most chilled journeys I’ve ever taken and planning to do with Alicja some day, she loves a wee bus or train journey :) have a great weekend!
My wife and I will be making this journey in reverse June 2025. We will be taking a transatlantic journey on the Queen Mary 2. Then take a rail journey to Scotland and finish our trip in Belfast. Love your informative videos!
Steve, I really enjoy your video blog. I have a suggestion. The A91 was built in the 1920’s, replacing the old road which ran above the flood plain of the River Devon. You can still walk the old road, from the Logie Kirk, near the Wallace Monument some 12 miles to Yetts of Muchhart. Park at the Kirk, except on Sundays, and return by bus. The walk takes you through the old mill villages of Blairlogie, Menstrie, Alva, Tillicoultry and Dollar without walking on the A91. You can bail out in any of the villages, but watch the bus times. Beyond Dollar, the only bus is the 202, which cuts across country to Blairingone. Peter
Done this journey the opposite direction 3 months ago when I realised my plane to Belfast would have got in too late (5pm!) for my onward journey. Fab 😊
Really great video Steve, I'm definitely up for that journey, looked so relaxing, I will pester hubby to take me now lol Thank you for taking us on another of your smashing adventures x👍
Nice video Steve. I was drawn to it because of the Stenna Line and Belfast. I recently took the Stenna overnight Ferry from Liverpool to Belfast. I even splurged on a cabin! Thanks for a nice reminder of travelling in the UK and the Republic. Could I interest you in visiting Canada sometime? Your recent video from Riga, and its snow covered trees, makes me think you might like it here. Keep up the good work!
We did this a week ago, but also hopped on another bus to take us from Glasgow to Edinburgh. Love using the Stena. It was a long travel day (bus, ferry, bus, bus, Uber) but the weather was great so super views all along the way. Would definitely do it again.
Thanks for doing all your UA-caming Steve and alicja when she is around
Unfortunately I am on long term sick at the moment but I have driven these coaches for yours
I've done this trip lots of times and it never disappoints. You give a very good representation of the journey, Steve. It really is a relaxing, hassle free way of travelling.
It's rare for me to arrive at a destination feeling so relaxed! Love it Jane!
Hi Jane, glad to hear that you like the service and we look forward to welcoming you back onboard again soon !!! 😀😀😀
Glad to hear you support the P&O workers. I stopped getting the Cairnryan to Larne crossing, even though it’s more convenient for me, and started getting the Stena Line to Belfast.

Such lovely weather for you too .
You make such a great point about the drive on/drive off - you know I didn’t even think about that! Will need to research it a bit more 🤣

That was another dose of escapism from the drich weather that caught up with Cologne! 🤗 I might actually brew a tea and re-watch. A lovely video! 🙏
Hey that would be super appreciated :D
The scenery between Stranraer to Glasgow was great.
And such a relaxing way to enjoy it - normally I drive so it was great to sit back and take it all in :)
Excellent video I didn’t even know you could get a bus from Belfast to Glasgow 👍 thanks Steve
I was totally unaware of this one as well mate!
Cracking video as always, Steve. Also, bang on for calling P&O out on their disgusting behaviour towards their staff.
FYI we partner exclusively with Stena Line for the ferry crossing.
Cheers Duncan! Aye, I'll avoid those chancers at all costs!
Great video of country to country travel before I head into work today

I used to do that journey a lot with ulsterbus when I was a student at Strathclyde about 25 years ago. The price was much the same back then.
Ah a familiar route!
Thanks Steve,really enjoy your presentation style.
Thanks so much Kenny!
You can see Paul McCartneys,"Mull of Kintyre"from the Scotland-Northen Ireland ferry!
I would never have thought of that route!
Me neither until recently! :)

Awesome video Steve👍 I love that trip along the west coast, stunningly beautiful👌Unusual to see queues at the Kingston Bridge😜
Haha it sure was a surprise 🤣
How cool! I am planning to do this in a few weeks!
Superb Tammie! Enjoy! It sure is a relaxing way to travel!
I love the song, "I'm Coming Home." Wonderful video...again. I started my morning with this wonderful journey. Thanks, Steve! Merry Ann from Minnesota
Aw you're so welcome Merry Ann :)
I might go for that as I want to visit Armagh Observatory with a pop over to Monaghan too.
Oh I want to visit the same places next time!
“Not after what they did to their staff”… top man

What a lovely journey Steve,and the added bonus of driving all through Dumfries and Gallaway,one of my favourite places.😊
It looks alike a great way to see the countryside, plus spend some time on the water. I would enjoy this type of travel.
We get great feedback about the beautiful scenery from our international travellers using the service - on a good day like that it is hard to beat. Some passengers have even commented that the Ayrshire coast drive is better than many scenic tours they have been on!!! Ailsa Craig ⛰is a particular highlight 😁😁😁
Always enjoy your vlogs Steve. I'm currently in Portstewart in Northern Ireland. You just can't beat Stena Superfast ferries to and from Ireland. Totally professional. The rail and sail fare and the coach and sail fares are great value too. We normally take the car due to my wife's disability and because we come for more than a week at a time.
The whole Stena Line team is great to partner with 👍👍👍
