What do you think, what is better this train ride or flying?
That is nowhere
After seeing many people doing this journey, it's easy to tell how extraordinary this journey must be, been on this Legh from north to south.
Great apart from the very annoying music and totally unable to hear what you were saying.
I've been on several long rail journeys, up to 24 hours long, but this one is pretty brutal looking because it is during the day and all in a seat instead of a sleeper! Good review, interesting, and it must be nice seeing the way the UK's scenery changes from the North East to the South West. Oh and a Lumo review would be welcomed, especially since there are rumours they may be starting a Glasgow - London route, which is more useful for me than their current route. Thanks for another excellent video!
If you didn't get any complimentary drinks and snacks until after Edininburgh, Cross Country were stingy. You should have caught the LNER 0752 from Aberdeen until York, and changed there, they would have looked after you big time. :)
What a poor offering a piece of bread with hardly any filling
To be honest, the first class catering service wasn't really good to me... Cross Country service really need to learn from other train companies...
That's actually a fantastic price for 1st class.I may be wrong (I usually am) but I seem to recall that this was the first train journey in the UK to cost more than £1000.
if it was a return, it would be worth it, but not one way.
This country is back to front. Sure, flying is far quicker (but over land? Yuk.)... but being by far quicker, the plane should be the expensive option, not the (non-sleeper) train.
It's such a long journey that you literally arrive in a different climate.!!
Oh dear….you looked exhausted at the end of that. I laughed at you flopping onto the bed and the “see you in the next one”😂
Love it! Thank you! I hope to do this journey someday.
Another great video Dom! You managed to cope with a 14 hour train trip better than I ever could lol
Thanks for taking a hit for the team on that one, I couldn't do it definitely ✈ 👍
Tremendous work! Well done!
Well done you done it dom and it be worth it when you see your beautiful destination area not that I been there great video thanks have a good week
You did it! We did have a laugh at your "See you in the next one" muttered whilst collapsed on the bed. LOL. We love train travel and on a future trip are planning a Cardiff to Edinburgh train journey. Your super-long trip, though, is probably a bit too long for us.
Great vlog! Especially the ending 🤗
