Hi Kuga, I've also done London to Penzance, in 1982 I'd go there with my bicycle and gear ,I rode from Lands end to John OGroats in Scotland for charity, Multiple Sclerosis, went the long way through the lake district and Scottish Highlands, ended up doing 1100 miles in 12 days, it's a scenic rail trip when near the sea, you go past Stone Henge, cheers and good luck 😊
Thank you for this video, Kuga! You may think you are just offering enjoyable travel videos, but over this past very busy, hectic year of mine you have given me tranquil, informative and humerous moments to just relax!
I'm a Scot who moved to the West Country for a long time, after all of your beautiful travels around Japan it was a little surreal to see Taunton out the window on one of your videos, and to hear the familiar whirring of the machine printing your ticket or the GWR recorded announcements that I could recite in my sleep. I was excited to see what you thought of Penzance and Cornwall! If you are ever back in the area I reccomend some of the walking routes and villages to the west, around the Land's End peninsula. After vicariously enjoying the various regional station bentos and local food from around japan I was sorry to see you having to subsist on what looked like whsmith biscuits, but I'm glad you got to have some of the good porridge as well!
The best part of your travel videos, mostly trains of course, is your subdued laid back personality. You are unique in a UA-cam world full of people who think they need to scream during their videos to get their point across. 🚄🚅🚆
My wife and I took this train to Penzance in 2011, sleeping bunk-bed style in the one compartment. As a fat man, the bed was a little narrow for me, but it was still far better than a seat or driving, and worth the money. We stayed two nights in Penzance, before taking the train to stay in other Cornish and Devon towns (Truro, St Austell, Exeter) before going home.
Hi Kuga, Thank you for your latest train excursion. You have fast become a favourite of mine with your superb camera work and the mood that you set. Lovely trip. Best Wishes, Peter
Kuga, your videos are so informative and relaxing. Thank you for showing Queen Victorias waiting room! Never knew it existed! Also, you should show your handsome face more often 😊😊😊 Thank you for a wonderful video!
That billboard at about 20 minutes is a drawing of "the famous five" from a book series written by Enid Blyton. She was a British author. I love your travel journeys and your honest comments! Keep up the good work! Saying hi from the Netherlands 🤗
You passed through my city (Plymouth) on your journey, Kuga! Glad you liked Penzance - it's my favourite town in Cornwall. Hope you enjoyed the scenery on your return journey - I never get tired of the views, no matter how many times I've travelled in Devon and Cornwall by train. The original GWR was nicknamed God's Wonderful Railway, and I suspect the landscape had a lot to do with that!
Cornwall was famous for smuggling, and during naval battles with Spain 🇪🇸, they lit signal bonfires along the coast to London to let them know it was happening 😂 ❤ 😊
Always love a bronze statue (like the Paddington Bear one at 3:10 ) - you can always see what parts people touch most, in this case the top and sides of his had, and most particularly his nose/muzzle. On some older statues, this is done for good luck, and I like to think it is so with Paddington too.
Took this very recently. It was a good experience but bumpy. If you don't just fall asleep fast, you will struggle. Finally drifted off after Bristol. Sausage and bacon rolls are a better breakfast imho !
I have seen 3 other videos of travelers doing this journey. Yours was the only one with pleasant weather in Penzance and the showers working. You got so lucky.
The West Highland Line (Glasgow to Oban or Mallaig) is incredible, and in Scotland/The UK. Considered one of the most beautiful in Europe, so I hope you do check that out.
A travel with this typical britisch Understatement 😊and the porridge Looks good with honey ITS a great combination🎉and great that There is a lounge in the Main Station👍
Loved this 😊 Paddington is my favourite London station and tho I've been in the 1st class lounge I was unaware of the Queen Victoria link 😮. Looked like a splendid new train, I'm glad you enjoyed the journey ❤
Very nice video, I like how the way you filmed they journey in the peaceful , quiet way let us to feel how the journey was. By the way, the day your mobile phone showed you were on the train was my birthday, 20/8/2024..
Been on both, the GWR seems better to me though the Caledonian is hauled by a class 92 electric locomotive and the rooms are bigger in some coaches ,the first class lounge at Paddington is very good .the locomotive that took you to Penzance is a former Class 47 locomotive which was build between 1964 and 1968 refurbished into a Class 57 ,
Stunning Landscape on arrival Britain is so beautiful. Interior looks good but the bed is way to narrow for me.Price for a single compartment was ok if you compare it to nightjet trains from ÖBB, Single is always more expensive if you dont book that long in advance.
I hope you went back to London by first class- those GWR trains have the most uncomfortable standard class seats I've ever experienced- like a church pew 😩
Too bad The Belmond Grand Hibernian (sleeper train between Dublin and Belfast) had stopped service on 18 February 2021. They did announced to relocate the trains elsewhere in Europe to operate again though.
While Night Riviera Sleeper don't have shower room on board, passengers have access to showers located on First Class Lounge at Paddington or Penzance.
How did you have the lounge at london to yourself? And then seem to have the entire train also to yourself? Are you editing people out of the clips? Sorry not seen your videos before so not sure if this is normal for your other videos, I just find it hard to believe that this train and the lounge was that quiet ( it was very busy when I went )
Love your videos, but you show an American flag at 0.43 against 'London, England'!? We associate more with The Cross of St George or Union Jack flag, in preference to the Stars and Stripes 🇬🇧 🏴
Nice content kuga..i just remind you all that end of time is near prepared with do charity because you have obligation to God for you goodness in eternal life..
Very nice. English trains may not be as sophisticated or advanced like the Japanese trains but there’s a unique feeling and comfort when you rail travel in England. This specific cabin was very nice indeed. Thanks Kuga. Would look forward to your return to London. 👍👍
I don't watch your videos super often, but it's nice to watch every once in a while. Watching this one while finishing up my lunch and enjoying my soda.

when i lived in Plymouth I remember watching this train go past my window just before I'd go to sleep :^)
how was living in Plymouth? we are thinking about moving there from Birmingham
@@Anlin there's a lovely model railway shop near a roundabout you might see if you get there by bus ;]
I love Paddington station. I remember taking my mum to the 1st class lounge, she loved it.

Excellent Point. Agree with that.
King Kuga, it was lovely to have you in our country again. I am glad you enjoyed your trip :-}
wow that is a super nice train. And perhaps the quietest train I have ever seen. You must have felt at home.
My wife and I took this train to Penzance in 2011, sleeping bunk-bed style in the one compartment.

I enjoy watching your videos.. You do love that Boulder, Colorado shirt.. thank you, love watching your content
I was just about to comment the same. Does he have 1 or 10 of them I wonder 😂
Hi Kuga,
Thank you for your latest train excursion. You have fast become a favourite of mine with your superb camera work and the mood that you set.
Lovely trip.

That train seems incredibly quiet. Wow.
Thank you kuga beautiful trip love from Rockingham NC USA enjoy your videos 💕💕
Thank you again, Kuga! I always enjoy your videos immensely! 👍
Kuga, your videos are so informative and relaxing. Thank you for showing Queen Victorias waiting room! Never knew it existed! Also, you should show your handsome face more often 😊😊😊 Thank you for a wonderful video!
This looks like one of the nicest sleeper trains. I visited Penzance many years ago and would like to return one day.
I do love Paddington Bear ❤️❤️🐻
Thanks for taking my handicap body along your great man. Thank you. Take me on longer ones. Please your good man.

Another wonderful train travel adventure, Kuga San!

イギリスのDevonに友人が住んでおり、いつか行ってみたいと思っていました。
Kuga様の乗られた電車で行けるようです。
なかなか情報がないので参考になりました。
貴重な鉄道動画有難うございました。
Thank you Kuga, it looked like a nice ride and such a contrast between London and Penzance, beautiful scenery.
Good to see you came down here to the south west! Hope you enjoyed your trip.
Thanks Kuga, nice trip with you :)

That is a really nice looking train interior, very sleek. Hope you had a great trip.
A travel with this typical britisch Understatement 😊and the porridge Looks good with honey ITS a great combination🎉and great that There is a lounge in the Main Station👍
Thanx Kuga......another great video i thoroughly enjoyed! 👍👍
Thanks for that piece of information have used the GWR 1st Class lounge and never knew that one half was Queen Victoria’s waiting room
Loved this 😊 Paddington is my favourite London station and tho I've been in the 1st class lounge I was unaware of the Queen Victoria link 😮. Looked like a splendid new train, I'm glad you enjoyed the journey ❤
Like the analogy of paddington bear to the shibuya hachiko statue ❤
Thank you Kuga. Very beautiful trip.
The train is slick!
Thanks for sharing your travel
great video, 3:14 it is Paddington bear (a famous animated bear who even has his own movies)
Love your videos thank you for sharing ❤
When you get to PZ, you could go into the greasy cafe right next to the train station called Sullivans for a true English Breakfast.
Thanks for the nice video !
What a lovely trip
Mmm Kuga-san, your opening sequence has 🇺🇸London, UK not 🇬🇧London, UK...
...but have you seen "Cardiff, Japan"? 😂
I hope you had a wonderful time
Beautiful station
Excellent
So Good. I enjoy so much!
Nice. I might try this myself one day, if I ever want to return to Cornwall.
That train looked really nice!
Your captions never disappoint.
To the „Pirates of Penzance“ 😂😂
Traveling in Europe is very different than Japan Welcome to Europe Mister Kuga
Very nice video, I like how the way you filmed they journey in the peaceful , quiet way let us to feel how the journey was.
By the way, the day your mobile phone showed you were on the train was my birthday, 20/8/2024..
You're lucky! Everytime I tried to book this sleeper train it is cancelled due to engineering works :(
Wonderful. Wish I could go. Greetings from Canada.
ahhh i love these train videos💖
Awesome video

Penzance is a beautiful town and it's certainly worth spending some time in Cornwall. I do like the Sleeper. Did they do meals in the buffet car?
"Great video! Just a quick note: the US flag emoji seems out of place since this is about London, UK 0:45. But I really enjoyed the content!"
The Pirates of Penzance!!!
Bro, like your videos very much.
3:14 That’s Paddington the Bear
See any pirates? 😂
"Save the best for last," The toilet? HaHa.
Too bad The Belmond Grand Hibernian (sleeper train between Dublin and Belfast) had stopped service on 18 February 2021.
They did announced to relocate the trains elsewhere in Europe to operate again though.
While Night Riviera Sleeper don't have shower room on board, passengers have access to showers located on First Class Lounge at Paddington or Penzance.
Oh, you just travel back to London? I thought it would be good idea to also explore the "Land's End" or "St Michael's Mount" while you're there.
You should get a red carpet from the waiting room to the train for £165.00 😂
MINE! MINE! MINE!!!
Love.from.india...
How did you have the lounge at london to yourself? And then seem to have the entire train also to yourself? Are you editing people out of the clips? Sorry not seen your videos before so not sure if this is normal for your other videos, I just find it hard to believe that this train and the lounge was that quiet ( it was very busy when I went )
How smooth was the ride?
❤
isn't there a St. Aaaaauuugh in Cornwall?
I wonder if he is the son of a rich Japanese Industrialist. And does this for fun.
Love your videos, but you show an American flag at 0.43 against 'London, England'!? We associate more with The Cross of St George or Union Jack flag, in preference to the Stars and Stripes 🇬🇧 🏴
To a city? Since when was Penzance a city?
Nice content kuga..i just remind you all that end of time is near prepared with do charity because you have obligation to God for you goodness in eternal life..
It will be the brainwashed fanatics of the Abrahamic religions that bring about the end of human existence
There are very few “average sized” humans. However, 50% are below average, and 50% are above average.
Very nice.
English trains may not be as sophisticated or advanced like the Japanese trains but there’s a unique feeling and comfort when you rail travel in England.
This specific cabin was very nice indeed.
Thanks Kuga. Would look forward to your return to London.
👍👍
Good video but you had a 🇺🇸 In the captions at the beginning for London, UK and not a 🇬🇧 or a 🏴.
Kuga living the best life ?
That porridge doesn’t look like it is food.
@@StevenWalker-ns5ii It's better than it looks. Perfect to warm you up at the beginning of a cold day.
I did this journey with my wife 3 years ago.
1:18 Penzance is a town it is civil parish and port in the Penwith district of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Penzance is not a city 👍👍👍
Is a cat 🐈 supposed to go in that litter box???
I don't watch your videos super often, but it's nice to watch every once in a while. Watching this one while finishing up my lunch and enjoying my soda.
Must be a slow train, i have drivin that in 4 and a half hours during rush hour.
London USA? 0:44
0:47 Wrong flag! We are not American!
“Britain’s”, not “the Britain’s”
Did you have to buy a shower card with only 3 minutes of water?
Quite right to put the US flag next to the title of London; the UK is a colony of that country.
