Excellent 61, thanks.
I've been wanting to take this journey for a little while now and maybe I'll get lucky and I can change to Kings Cross from one train journey from Reading when the Elizabeth line connects fully. I'll have to look it up
Five star coverage
I am remembering my first trip to Edinburgh and scenery views in 2019… , Thanks.
My pet hate is the socket positions on the Hitachi sets, why between the seat below you, and why no usb socket, the amount of times I get asked for sockets on a 385. On a plus Lner is far better than Avanti IMHO
I don't know anything about Trains nor This Country but I would love to take a ride on this one❤Beautiful❤
Călătorie plăcută,Prietene👋👋🚄🙂
Excellent video 👍 thanks
The worst long distance trains in the UK.
Thanks, for taking me such a great distance, in just 13 minutes!
On any long distance rail run I assume their is a driver change, how does that driver return to his original start point,
I'd never noticed the track side markers that you highlighted before! I'll have to keep an eye out for them now!
Very informative, thanks…
I can't believe how noisy the people are in the train, isn't there a quiet carriage ?
Do they take cash again for food and drink…every other railway in Europe does, but LNER still has "Covid" problems taking cash……
Really enjoyed the video. Have you thought about doing Edinburgh up to Aberdeen for a video or even do Aberdeen to Penzance?
Nice!
That Sheperherdess Chicken is properly tasty. Almost made up for the fact that we had no proper breakfast from Inverness on Tuesday…almost!
26/27 in first class are perfect seats for a couple. We had those same seats on our return trips between Kings Cross and Edinburgh Waverly a couple months ago. Overall, really great service as well!
Thanks for another great video!
