The Night Riviera Sleeper Train! ((15/16)/02/23) I rode the Night Riviera from London Paddington to Penzance, where I spent the night in a solo cabin. I had one of the best sleeps of my life!

Thanks for great review.. Really helps for the day I get round to trying it ๐
GWR Sleepers still MK3's?? wish I did the sleepers back in the 80's when I was out and about on the trains, MK1's and Deltics/50's those were the days. Nice to see females enjoying the hobby us lads did way back ๐
Always wanted to go on a sleeper train.
Iโve used this service many times but only go down as far as Plymouth.
You're gorgeous! This is a trip I wana do someday
No idea why YT suggested your channel. But Iโm so glad it did. I love it ๐
What a waste of an empty bunk, bet youโd love someone lay there at night talking trains! โTalk dirty to meโ!
โErr class 20โs nicknames were โchoppersโ!
But as a girl youโd probably prefer the class 50 nickname of a โhooverโ! Joke before I get accused of sexism!
I'd love to do this with my kids, 11 and 20,. Hello from Suffolk
shame about the music. It seems to be everywhere on YouTube. Very interesting content though, thank you
Always wanted to try the night riveria and I think youโve persuaded me! Great review!
The contraption at 06:44 is where the top bunk would sit on if it were pulled down.
Video just popped up! Fantastic, well done ๐
Liskeard but pronounced liskard
Great video ๐๐๐
I was suggested this video what a great video well edited. I probably will never take a sleeper train but it was still a great watch.
Love your work G, I'm new to the channel. Would you do some steam heritage lines maybe??
Love your channel โค๏ธ I'm now a 100% new follower โค
Two bottles of water in the wardrobe, just where you'd expect to find them lol
Vegan food? Sleeper trains? Review with full info, prices, tips n everything?? Sub get! Thanks for the vid
My last sleeper train experience was 20 years ago and still recovering from it. Around 2 am I had a rude awakening from someone entering into my solo cabin from an inter-connected cabin!
That Blue Light is a Night Light…
i love your completion. For a better sleep wear a tea cosy on your head .
Another great video as usual ๐
Booked to travel on it in may from padd to Penzance have travelled a few times on the Scottish sleeper with the mk 3 coaches so it's a train Cardiff to Paddington day in London on the sleeper day and night in Cornwall and hopefully a 125 back to Cardiff ๐
Lovely to see these trains still operate in the UK ๐ฌ๐ง ๐๐๐๐๐. Great vlog
I'm suffering a deep depression at the moment and like you I have a love for trains. Your videos have really been a gift to me while I'm suffering thank you for the help.
Had to rewatch this as we just returned from our trip on the night riviera ourselves.
Omg, absolutely loved it, one of my best train experiences so far.
Amazing video btw, just as enjoyable the 2nd time round of watching.
Cheers.
Matt
Did you enjoy the first class lounge ?
Thanks for your videos, the whole family enjoy watching them.
Would love to see you travel a train in the USA.
Fantastic ๐ informative and entertaining… ๐ ..
Jloves Gloves trains โคโคโค๏ธ๐โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Took my daughter on this service in 2021, absolutely loved it. Fantastic video & brought back many happy memories. Thankyou.
Brilliant Vlog as always G the GWR Night Rivera definitely looks worth checking out before I do it I wanted to watch your Vlog to see what it would be like until your next Vlog G carry on being awesome keep up the good work take care and stay safe
the little weird boxes in the room are old ashtrays filled in with blocks of metal. Back when the carriages were first built, you could smoke in your private berths, which has now been stopped ๐
I was told about this train today and now here is your video. The Night Riviera is now on my to-do list!
Have you done the Staylebridge to Stockport Parlimentarian, yet?
Do they serve food for carnivores or does one have to endure vegan only offerings ๐คฎ
I bet it was magical just to think that you had the best night sleep ever specially a GWR express train and I might give this a try too and let you all know what I think in the future and great vlog and have ever been to Leicester stations by any chance ๐
Love your vids, G. Keep 'em coming ! ๐
Just showed this to my two year old to show her there are beds on trains, and you can brush your teeth on a train. She loves trains, too. And seeing Paddington out of the window. ๐
