Loved this. I don't know enough about N.E. England. Looks lovely| But surprised massive stuff like LNER stock can share lines with metro? Anyway, great vid.

Great shot! I saw her at York.

Hello do you get a specific seat number or can you sit in anyseat in the carriage like in a normal train??. Can you get a more spacious seat if you pay more Please tell me as this is going to be the first time im traveling out of london and i dont know why but im nervous as its a 3 hour journey 😅

Super nice Video!!!

No stick to Grand Central rather than that LNER crap

Nice 👍

Interesting, I was expecting you to have to negotiate a huge drop down to the platform, but it doesn't look so bad with the HST. It's about four feet from a Class 170 Turbo or a Class 158 unit. Last time I used it I had to be helped down by five other passengers. Next time I shall ask for assistance - which might well be a taxi from Perth, I suspect!

...And you passed the Aberdeen train on the Inverness station approach, though to be fair, it does look as if it had probably been occupying your platform! Unlike the Tain service, it also wasn't the last of the day on that line, given that people travelling to stations east of Elgin are likely to travel via Aberdeen anyway... but, the main problem will have been the many miles of single track I expect - and the number of other trains it would also have disrupted. It's great that you get a free trip out of it - even trespassers (and I'm NOT advocating what they do) have thier uses, it would seem!!

It's a shame there aren't more services that operate North of Corby on this line on a daily basis.

I didn't realise there was a Sunderland to London service that went via Newcastle, though I can see why as the Cleveland area is very deprived and probably doesn't produce that many would-be passengers. It's a shame they don't have the catering underway by Durham, as you barely had time to digest your breakfast - although, I daresay only a limited number of people do such a journey in reality anyway. Good video - and you can speak, if you want to!

all that money spent, nah, wasted on yje new station and it looks worse than the old one

Excellent video, your journey was good. Sorry to hear about the withdrawal of the Glasgow central & Stirling services

Great video! Looks like you had fun!

Great video.

Great video.

Sunderland Station. A depressing, gloomy place.

Great video.

Enjoyed this video saw places from a railway view .

Just before the Covid-19 pandemic struck in the Spring of 2020, Scotrail increased the price to its First Class supplements to take into account the enhanced catering offer which they intended to provide aboard their I7C short-formed HST sets, which was to include a Steward(ess) service of complimentary hot drinks and substantial snacks. In the end Scotrail decided to cut costs by just providing free biscuits and mineral water on a "help yourself" basis. Unfortunately, during long journeys, these often completely run out. The seats in First Class on Inter7City trains are comfortable because the carriages are ex-GWR rolling stock which has been re-branded. Incidentally, why won't you make singulars and plurals agree with each other in your commentary? "There is" (or "there's") should be used in relation to one item, such as "a table" whereas "there are" is used in relation to two or more items, such as a pair of "window curtains". The irritation which your bad grammar causes is a distraction from the otherwise excellent content of your video diaries.

So why didn't you catch the train from Paddington to Plymouth which runs one hour later and enjoy the delights of Pullman Dining in the Restaurant Car, which is available to passengers travelling on cheaper Standard class tickets? There's always space available in the Dining Car on Tuesday lunchtimes!

Nice trip with good food and snacks !!

It's just a shame that this and the Stirling will be lost from the December Timetable change

Puzzles me TfW only ordered 2 and 3 car units. Is capacity an issue?

Good video

Sorry. The trains are wonderful and the service excellent. But the seats are bloody awful.

i like it i been who else

I never knew there was an LNER train from Sunderland, but to be fair, I wouldn't normally be around Sunderland Station at 05:39 in the morning. When I started to watch the video, I assumed it would travel south, ie towards London, similar to the Grand Central trains do, so was surprised to see it heading north to Newcastle before heading down to KGX. Great video !

Feels really weird to see an Azuma screeching through. So used to grand Central, northern and metro only.

It's nice to see a steam train

nice but you mean 158767 and not 158867

So cool im subbing

Great video

Nice to see a different view of crossing the Tyne.

The reason for there not being a Dine menu available at weekends, is just that they don't have onboard chefs to cook the main meals offered on those menus. The remainder of the menu is usually simple or pre-packed and heated up. Hope that helps.

The river near Berwick-upon-Tweed is the River Tweed, not the Ness. Thanks, commenter, for correcting me.

That was the River Tweed, not the River Ness when approaching Berwick Upon Tweed. Xx

Great video

Great video I enjoyed that! Never tried an azuma before bthey seem nice. You have a new subscriber

If LNER kept the HSTs operating on the Highland Chieftain that would be so much better

Great video!

LOVE this! One of my biggest pet peeves is when the Mk3 vestibule doors don't close! It makes everything so noisy and skweaky! I didn't notice that much of an issue with them back when they operated in full service pre-coved? It honestly makes the IETs look good in terms of quiet inside the carriage.

Great video.
