Fantastic video mate, I had the exact same meal as you just yesterday and can confirm, it is very tasty, look forward to your next video!
Cheers mate, appreciated as always - it was great to back on the tracks and this was the perfect tonic. I’m pleased hot meals are back on the menu, most welcome.
Another good video. A few years ago myself and wifey had a few days in Harrogate travelled north in a 125 and south in a 225 both ways in first very nice indeed both on breakfast trains. The brucey bonus in leeds station is having a spoons in station building. 😂
Hi mate, thanks for watching - appreciated. I have used that spoons pub a few times myself, a little too handy 😂
Good to see you back mate
Cheers mater - appreciated. It’s nice to get the channel back on track (no pun intended) 😂
Great video mate. They still have 225 sets running around and I like their first class is very nice
Cheers mate - appreciated. They’re are a few still knocking about and I do love the 1st class. I’m hoping next week brings another one. !?
Nice to see you back. Always enjoy yours travels. Always liked LNER First although never been a fan of their external colour scheme - I liked the darker one (seemed more classy). Andy from Melbourne, Australia.
Cheers mate - appreciated. Agree about the livery.
That was a fantastic trip report ! 😀 I rode back in 1992 on my last trip across the pond. It's to bad they couldn't have built a newer version of the 225...Thanks for sharing this with us... :):):)
Cheers mate - appreciated as always.
Nice video
Never taken IC225's 1st class before (but I've taken Azuma's 1st class for 6 times)
Thank you - appreciated, if you get the opportunity take it.
My friend, that buzzing “urrrr” is not a broken tannoy but is a deliberate sound to confirm the carriages are synced to the loco. If you cannot hear that sound, your 91 loco is broken!
Hi mate, appreciate the info. Regards
I'm travelling this route with my Dad on 11th July to King's Cross, we are going in first class that day but on the reverse route the next day, we are going in standard class.
It’s a really nice route and I hope you enjoy your trip, plus make the most out of what 1st class offers.
@@TheGeordieTravels thanks!
The iconic InterCity 225 and the even more iconic InterCity 125… shoes that will be hard for the Azumas to fill.
Isn’t the North Concourse of Leeds station what used to be the totally separate ’Leeds City’ during the Big 4 days for one of the companies ? Then combined and updated in BR days as one single station? The Southern concourse was the other station.
Good question mate, I’m not sure but I’ll look into it.
Good report 'Mk 4 standard class seat and 1s class seat still the best
Cheers mate - appreciated as always.
If the ride is so good, and the sears are sk comfortable, why is the design not copied, else where? Thank you a good ride!! Patrick Speaight, Northamptonshire
Hi, thank you for watching. I wish they did but it’s common place nowadays to take something old fashioned, modernise it and actually make it worse. Shame to see them go.
Excellent report. Who were you playing for?
Cheers mate - appreciated. I was involved in an event that was part of Englands 2018 World Cup bid that was held at Elland Road.
Great video, once again. I love the old mk4 coaches... alot better than the newer azuma First class imo. 👌🏻
Cheers mate - appreciated as always and totally agree 100%
Great video! I travelled in standard class accommodation in a Mark 4 set and I can honestly say it's more comfortable than 1st class on an Azuma (Class 800,801).
Cheers mate - appreciated. I agree with the seats. The 800’s are uncomfortable at best.
AZUMA'S RIGHT ANGLE SEATS
Yes, definitely the best first class experience. Such a pity that these trains' days are numbered in favour of a replacement which has already clearly demonstrated itself to be inferior.
It is a real shame, I was recently on an LNER Azuma and they just have nothing about them, bright lights and a bit soulless. Hope they stay as long as possible.
I want the Leeds services to be hauled by 90s instead of 91s. Is better
Why??
@@manomaylr They have more stops than the slows to Waverley, and the 90s have a lower top speed, but slightly more power.
Why do people always show a toilet. We all know what a toilet looks like and how it works.
Hi mate, thanks for watching - appreciated. I understand your view but some people don't so for completeness i do.
