- The Long Ride to Milford Haven! (26/03/22). I've ridden this route as far as Cardiff plenty of times now, but this is the first time I have stayed on the service all the way to Milford Haven. And what a beautiful day to do it! :)

Getting up at 2 and walking for 2 hours? You are dedicated! My wife and son went by train from Inverness to Norwich today. Loved the film G, great positivity as always!
Oh my word, you're on my doorstep!!!! I live not far from Milford. I don't envy that journey, it can be, and usually is a nightmare, especially for locals here, Transport For Wales out here can be shocking!!!
Done Milford / Cardiff return 3 times. Beautiful scenery from Swansea to Carmarthen. BUT the Milford train was cancelled 3 times. Absolute nightmare all times. The class of train from Carmarthen (when I eventually made it to there) was a mini bus! Great video, enjoyed it.
Best 8 minutes of TV on a Tuesday night.
❤ the glasses they really suit you
If I was a manger of network rail or whichever I'd offer you a job riding around all day assessing platforms trains service etc ..
Brilliant video legend Georgia and cute glass really sort you very cute . Nice 158
Wow G amazing thanks for all your hard work 💜
Did Crewe to Swansea on the way to Tenby from Stoke on Trent, 2 coaches absolutely rammed , was dreading the return a week later, could not believe my luck, a loco plus 5 empty coaches, happy days. Great video.
I would marry you in a minute, years of getting grief and ripped for being into trains (my dad brought me up that way). I love your channel and keep up the good work!
Great video really enjoyed the journey
great video very scenic
Another brilliant upload as usual. Looks like a nice place.
All the best.
I've always wanted to do one of these start to end train journeys and have a day out. a wonderful video as always and I love your glasses too.
Always good to see your videos and smile
i really enjoyed this one Milford Haven looks beautiful and the train journey looks amazing i love long train journeys i cant wait to my first one very soon keep up the awesome work
Another great journey love the glasses very elegant glad the weather was good for you
Good stuff. Highlight of my Tuesday evening!
Brilliant video G! Love a good 158, great scenery and weather for it too! 👍👍
Excellent commentary from you G
Fantastic video as always
Hi G, after a long stressful day at work, putting on your video makes me unwind and put a smile on my face. You vidz are getting better and better. Those new spex are awesome and keep them for new vidz. Stay safe - Rafael
Fantastic video! I’ve only just found your channel so I need to watch more.
I did Manchester to Haverfordwest a few years ago when I went to St David’s on holiday. But I came back a week later not the same day like you did! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nice video G, I also love long train journeys. I once went London to Blackpool & back in a day🚇.
Another wonderful vlog - love the class 158s, very similar to the class 159s I used to take to go to uni in Exeter!
Wow, getting up at 2am and walking two hours that’s crazy. Great video, it looked like you had a wonderful time. I hope you had a good journey home got back safely. Thank you for sharing
Another great video. Can't beat a long scenic train journey. Also surprising how long the Cardiff to Milford Heaven section takes in comparison to Manchester/Cardiff. Respect the early starts and walking. It's definitely worthwhile to get out on the trains.
Oh the scenery brilliant makes it worthwhile getting up so early great video again Georgia you are so excited to be doing what you want keep up the good work 👍👍😊
Nice video G, i love the 158.
looking forward to this! good video idea, more vlog-ish content please!
G you certainly go out your way to give us these brilliant vlogs up at 2am to walk 2 hours for your train that's dedication I salute you young lady, and whot a fantastic ride to the Milford Haven that was a special journey, as ever can't wait for next trip cheers G 👍 🙂
"Oh my days!" just when I thought you had reached your peak, you climb even higher. Great Vlog again! Fun filled, enjoyable and informative. Keep 'em comin'. BTW loving the specs, really suit you x
What a superb day - Big Thanks for taking us along! Hope you made it back safe for a welcome sleep 😉
Well done you G great video you looked good as usual. The longest train journey I tried was from Penzance to Glasgow after eight hours on the train got off at Preston and visited Blackpool instead stay beautiful xx
Thanks for the trip, GLovesTrains. Nice place to be and lovely to see your specs not forgetting LEGS!! for a change
Glasses huh? A good look for you 👍🏼 the great evolution in storytelling sticks too. Enjoyed this one!
Hey there, I live in Milford Haven and i’m glad you enjoyed it down here in the middle of knowhere lol.
2am wake up, that's dedication :) Just subbed too so looking forward to more videos 😊.
These videos always puts a smile on my face, really enjoy watching them Gloves :)
Cheers Chris!! 😀
I have one word for you Georgia, Dedication … in bucket loads. you have a week off work and you are getting up at 2AM and walking for two hours to bring us informative fun and wonderful scenery, thank you so much. Looking forward to the next one, stay safe
Awesome video, G! From the perpetual darkness of Horwich Parkway to the glorious sunshine at Milford Haven, this was a wonderfully happy journey to follow along with you. Excellent music choice, great editing and pacing as always and I love how the typeface in the thumbnail fits with the vibe of the pose you are striking!
I'm glad ya think that barrowc! 😂 thankyou very much!
Our "Gloves trains"! has a new look which really suits you. Thanks again for a lovely uplifting happy vlog. 👍
Brillliant video, That looks like a very long journey indeed. Milford Haven is a place I'd love to visit sometime as well as all the other parts of Wales I haven't been to yet. :)
One of the best yet, you should be given a slot on TV 😉. 🚂
Rather you than me getting up at that time! Milford Haven looks really nice, the lovely sunny weather as well made that early start all the more worthwhile 😎
wonderful to see you once again do one of my old regulars, last one was navigation road in Altrincham,,, an im from Shrewsbury i would often get that one or the Altrincham via Chester but that way was always a northen pacer with the old bus seats god i hated them things
Another Great Vid 🙂 Would Love To Make That Trip One Day Looks Nice And Relaxing.
Another brilliant vid G, lovely to see warm sunshine at last! Glasses look good on you,now you really are a "spotter" 😆.
Just ordered one of your mugs in what looks like the cab of the APT at heritage centre. Keep safe.
Aww thanks Antony!
Nice ride TfW 158830 was actually the first 158 i ever rode on in their fleet back when it was with ATW
I don’t like their 158s as the air conditioning on their units never work and they usually use their 175 coradias on the Milford haven route so it’s odd seeing them use a 158 express sprinter unit
£25.70 for a ride from Manchester to Milford Haven, I honestly cannot disagree on the price for a six hour journey, I agree that worth the price. Also cannot disagree in riding the line while the recent warm weather we had during the past week (or two when this vlog goes public) But finally you can kick that journey off your bucket list, nice vlog G!
Thanks Cyber!! Haha bring back the sun will ya 😂
Is that for a return or single?
@@Matthewsbuses1997 single, because the ticket is in the video at 2:14
That's one heck of a Journey... And nice views must get out over that way some time.
I like your new glasses! Great long ride down to Milford haven especially on a pretty 158. The scenery and weather was amazing. Did you make your train home?
Thanks Sam! I made me train home, stayed awake the whole way and then stayed up pretty much all night then went out filming again 😂😂
Lovely line that G, only ever travelled as far as Newport on it although the day after on my return trip on a Saturday the train was diverted from Shrewsbury east through Telford and turned northbound at Wolverhampton to go up towards Crewe to resume the correct paving route
Great video and the glasses really suit you
lovely vlog G very positive and happy cheers
Cheers!
Hiya G, another awesome video, you never fail to please, like your glasses they suit you, nice to see more of your home including the tomato sauce, i was not happy with you walking on your own for two hours that time in the morning it is not safe, it must have been a long day for you, well done and take care xxx ❤
Thanks Glen, and don't worry it was quiet out, a few early dog walkers 😂
Hi G this is one very long but scenic journey ive never been to milf haven (if thats right😂)looks very nice there thanks for sharing your day out❤
(Yes 😂)
Rode a few TfW 158s last Saturday on the Cambrian Coast. That line's well worth a trip!
Great video. I can empathise with the early start and sleep deprivation, my last attempt to do some of the Harz steam railways started with a 2:10am train from Cologne, after a couple of hours pottering around the riverside with Mcdonalds coffee in hand. Fun though!
fantastic vlog G. sounds like a place to vist when i escape from london.
Haha escapeeeee 😂 thanks!
Hi Lovely G! Back from the travels and caught up with your great vlogs. Loved the Racing a train to Euxton Balshaw Lane Again. Loved the first one too. Cheshire Day Ranger great as well. My favourite Day Ranger is your Lancashire Day Ranger, however. Next time we're in the UK it looks like we'll have to do your Long ride to Milford Haven. We've never been to Wales. That has to be remedied. Can't wait for your next great vlogs! Love ya G!😀Love your new glasses too.😎
Aww thanks Michael! 😄
2am start? Now that is dedication - I don't think I'd be as cheery as you are if I was up that early! Those 158 noises are so familiar to me up here - keep hoping to get one of the ScotRail Class 43s every time I'm getting a train, but it always ends up being a 158.... Not that I'm really complaining! Those views on the journey are super!
I used to do that when i had trouble sleeping, esp in the summer months with the daylight hours. I had no problem with it. The coppers did, mind, when they saw you. Went through the 3rd degree a couple of times with them, which is fair enough, i suppose. Did'nt think so at the time, after getting searched, like.
Discovered this Welcome to my town I live near Gelliswick and worked at the Yacht Club for many years and still enjoy a dip at the beach. Great video
What a lovely journey, great video and same…always burn before a tan🙄
Awesome video
You did very well not to fall asleep on that train ..those trains are the cosiest and most comfortable on the network, especially when the heating is on! Loving the glasses look btw!
Ah, she's all tuckered out! Bless, she'll sleep tonight with all that fresh air 😁
Agreed about forgetting the feeling of sunshine too!!😁
Also, love the librarian-come-weather girl glasses!😊
Loved the bit on Gelliswick beach, great childhood memories.
To heaven, it beautiful to watch you up
Was looking for something else but found this video! I'm from Milford and Gelliswick is my local beach! Hope you enjoyed it here!
very beautiful landscape in England and beautiful stations perfect and I wish you best regards from Harz VG Marcel
Cool, that's one heck of a journey & quite an odd service.
Another very good Video
In Milford Haven.
I've never been & it looks stunning.
See you in the next Video
Bless you & have a very Day and a safe one as well.
Bless You.
Many thanks to you have a very day & a very good weekend and a safe one as well.
Bless you.
Chilled. Suits you Milady Milford. No wails or Whales but loads of Wales, well worth waiting to watch. Joyous and chilled and a cheeky Shrewsbury too. Go you. Happy G is a good look. X
Your crazy getting up at 2am in the morning. 😅 I'm asleep at that time lol. Great video G
excellent video Georgia
Sunshine? What's that? Oh, I saw it reflected in the water! I hope you did get back and not fallen asleep in the 'Sun Shine' and got stranded. Always a smile, Gina. Thanks! Keep Safe now. Cheers!
Hi G, great video as always. I always look forward to Choosdays for a new vid! Keep up the great work. Ps. Could you do more Metrolink Videos as I’m a huge fan of the Metrolink and really liked the tram versing videos. Loved that video! Keep it up 😄😄
Of course, still got Zone 4 to do 😂
My dad Loved trains and so do i My son and daughter prefer to travel on trains all the time. Well Done G Excellent as usual. Kind Regards .
G have you ever traveled First Class with Lner from London To Newcastle? My family and I have done this route lots of times and The Trains and the Lner Staff just make this Journey so special.
Great vids 😊
awesome video :)
Need to do the run across to pembroke dock now Georgia x
Very long journey ther glad enjoy it ther them glass sure well
Longest train journey I've done was from Calais to Berne in Switzerland back in the 70s. Pretty sure we didn't change train and it was over 30 hours in length. We didn't have sleepers either so had to sleep sitting up.
Plus we had been stuck in a massive storm outside of Calais on a ferry for 4 hours which had even made the BBC 9 o'clock national news that day.
Thanks for that boost.Recently found cheap Azuma fares (don’t tell or everybody will be on to them🤦♂️)and feeling better every time I go on a train trip😎
Shrewsbury 6 biscuits with a cup of tea ?. Down yer in Gert lush Brizzle I drink coffee and a PACKET of biscuits lol, oh and I love the glasses,, great vid again G X
G you just made my day going to buy you a drink tomorrow and loving the secretary look very pretty with the glasses
Got on the train on Saturday to Millford Haven it was packed as hell. It was a nine o clock train on a crowded 2 coach 150.
This one gets even better on 2nd viewing! Take care G 😊
Pembrokeshire is truly lovely - I always enjoy Tenby. From the weather I assume that was last weekish whereas it went blimmin cold and wet afterwards - the great British weather
Growing up.in Milford Haven I got used to having to travel for ages to get anywhere. I remember that I used to be a 9 hour coach journey to get to Milford from Nottingham when I was at uni.
There is dedication to the cause and then there is madness! I am beginning to think that you fall into the second group rather than the first 🤣
I love trais too
G, you look good wearing your glasses
This was yet another fantastic Vlog G and my gosh the scenery along the route was absolutely stunning and Milford Haven looks absolutely stunning indeed Il agree with you G I’m glad you enjoyed your train journey to Milford Haven and I’m glad the weather was also kind to you too until your next Vlog G carry on being awesome keep up the good work take care and stay safe and I look forward to catching up with you again next Tuesday
Amazing railway journey G 6 hours thats extreme time that i could not imagine sitting on a train that long
I've done it coming down from Aberdeen
@@ametrinemoon nice to know but how long was the train ride 😜😂
@@GLovesTrains 6 hours from Aberdeen to Birmingham or Aberdeen to London direct
G going the extra mile for us!!!
Hi, Caught a glimpse as your train departed from Crewe of my favourite of all times the amazing Advanced Passenger Train at Crewe Heritage Centre. Have you or will you do a blog of this which you can board the train and drivers cab ?
Nice Video
beautiful 😍😍
once again a big smile is on my face watching your latest video, PS is that a Las Vegas Raiders logo on your shorts 😊
It may well be! Tbh I just saw them in H&M and got them 😂
You are very brave traveling 6 hours on the transport Wales service and to have a seat it's a nightmare sometimes traveling on the valleys services but travelled the heart of Wales line many years ago on a class 116 valleys DMU was a long 4 hours from Shrewsbury to Swansea 😆 needed the loo arriving at Swansea
