I must say I LOVED this video. Although couldn’t help but laugh at the pronunciations of some of the places 😀

I have been on South Western Railway down to Portsmouth Harbour and the journey is very good.

[@londontravellerlass7460]

Thankyou for sharing this route and explaining.Planning to go to portsmouth this summer

[@varyar77]

Nice review - I’m taking this route tomorrow.

[@NintendoFanboy21]

Thanks for the time-lapse and the little pun at "Havant" station 😂

[@Largeportion1000]

Nice, well done.

[@Memphis2010GFC]

Where do you store your suitcase? I am concerned that it will be stored out of sight of where you are sitting.

Surbiton station also appears in Harry Potter and the Half Blood prince

[@Cowman9791]

Slight correction, Portsmouth & Southsea is not the busiest station in Portsmouth. Before the pandemic, that was Portsmouth Harbour, but more recently, it has Fratton, so I guess people must have overinterpreted the phrase to get off at Fratton.

How much is the first class ticket ? thanks. Okay i see 19.10 Pounds .

[@jang5593]

Are there any refreshments on the train and are they complimentary in 1st class?
Thanks 👍

[@GooseWaffe]

South Western Railway do not provide redreshments

[@joncleung]

Love the video. Please advise how to get the ticket for £20 or less. I am coming from US in Aug and love to go back to Portsmouth for leisure & photos. Any senior discount? Thanks in advance.

Bumping this post as 2024 1st class tickets are nowhere near as low as advertised here.

[@charbuch1884]

thanks Josh. I will be taking this train, 1st Class, in a couple of weeks but will have a suitcase with me. is there somewhere to store my suitcase where I can keep an eye on it?

[@JackJackProductions]

Yes. If it is carry-on sized, you can store it in the overhead racks. Alternatively, you can store larger bags between the seats

Bathroom? Who takes a bath on a train?😀

[@mudchute4dlr]

unfunny

[@MrRQBQ]

@@mudchute4dlr It wasn't intended to be funny, I was highlighting the unnecessary use of an Americanisation on a British site.

[@JoshGoesSlow]

@MrRQBQ it’s what I have called it my entire life. Maybe don’t watch a global website where people have different accent and different name for things. The British are the only people who call it a toilet, because the rest of us put everything in the same room. And no I’m not American.

[@mudchute4dlr]

@@MrRQBQ the word 'restroom' is american, not 'bathroom'. obviously some call it a toilet but yeah

[@MrRQBQ]

@@JoshGoesSlow 'The British are the only people who call it a toilet' - bit of a sweeping statement which is factually untrue. Try Germany for example where the use of the word 'toilette' is common in public places. Anyway I don't wish to quibble over something so petty, my original post was just intended as a light hearted observation.
