Much prefer these train reviews. They are more interesting and your knowledge, both historic and contemporary, is a bonus. I still dream of getting to the UK and travelling on many of your reviewed trips. One day... maybe. 🙏

Uk is a lovely place, if you know where to go. Otherwise in some places, especially West London, it’s a shithole. But southern and the inland areas are often the nicest

The HST is like the 747 of British trains, even if it is obsolete (and it’s a big “if”), you just can’t say no to it. Absolutely timeless.

Great job Paul, your passion for trains and the beautiful architecture of the 19th century really shows!

Your train reviews are always worth watching. Nice to get places pointed out and a historical perspective. Always good to get a nod to Thunderbirds for those of us who are old enough to remember it first time round in the 60s.

Nice little trip to take, thanks for letting us join you and top-tip pricing!

Great to see you getting out and about, Paul. I live in Northumberland, so it was nice to see Newcastle Central.Station, which I haven't been to since before Lockdown. Stay safe and well xx

Good to see the old toon again. Haven’t been back for many years as I live in Australia now but used the train services in Newcastle a lot in my youth. Great video Paul

Being a Bristol native who went to uni in Durham, this brought back a lot of memories! Thanks for all the station details, super interesting :)

Awesome video Paul, one of your best yet! Especially enjoyed the extended bit on Newcastle Central, my home station. Being an semi frequent user of LNER I'm in complete agreement with you over the old vs new. Give me a Class 91/43 hauled train over an Azuma etc any day of the week, especially in first class.

A simply brilliant video about HST. Reminds me of the golden age of rail travel. Hope you are dealing with and staying healthy during the pandemic. Cheers Bob

Paul, your videos have long been an inspiration, and you are the reason I started my own KZread channel.

In the meantime I am grateful for your journeys and can travel alongside you virtually. Cheers

Whenever I do the Birmingham New Street to Bristol Temple Meads trip I always pre check the diagrams and use the HST sets.The voyager experience even in 1st class is woefully inferior to the extremely pleasant ride and airier ambience of the HST.

Hi Paul A great review with lots of historical information. I was pleased to see my home town of Darlington in your review. Keep up the great reviews. DS

Cracking effort as always Paul!

Enjoyable video and loved the split fare thing! Never heard of it before but will give it a look! Cheers and happy travelling.

I'm very happy to see you're doing out filming content and getting sponsorships. I had a fear your channel would take a big hit during COVID, but glad to see you're still creating content.

Paul.. super vid mate have travelled this line many times, and its always a pleasure to see that wonderful scenery on the journey. Keep up the brilliant work. Best regards IAN

A truly excellent video Paul really well put together, thank you, and very informative.....

I loved this very informative and I adore the train thanks for tag along!

Unfortunately that perticular Costa at York station is currently closed , and I don't think it will be opening again anytime soon, great video Paul as always!!

A fantastic video, thank you Paul. Excellent research and facts! I still can’t get over the lack of people on the trains!

Great vlog Paul ! Glad to see you are still making vlogs and doing well

Howdy, awesome trip report as always Paul!😸😸

Greetings from North Carolina. This was very detailed and interesting. I hope we get to see your return trip.

Such a lovely peaceful journey ❤️ Thanks 😊

Good to see you well, Paul!

Great vid as always. Brings back great memories of when I was at uni in Newcastle in the mid 1990’s when the franchise first started. Travelled the route numerous times to Birmingham when heading home to Worcester. Totally agree about Durham and the view. I would add Worcester from the train is a great view when crossing the river Severn and you sight the cathedral up above overlooking it.

Great to see you back in "the game" brother. My wife and I enjoy your channel immensely Paul.

Love stations like Newcastle, York and Darlington - iconic.

Hello Paul, great video and fantastic commentary throughout. Great video footage and it was fantastic to hear your perspective on this and it's good to hear that the First Class on a HST is still there in some form. Cheers Peter :) p.s. keep it up! p.p.p.s It looks like a very scenic and decent route throughout.

Thank you, Paul, for sharing your interesting train video with us.

Paul, thank you very much for this train ride video in Great Britain. I have been subscribed to your channel for some time now and have always enjoyed the flights. Hope you are planning to post more videos of your train travels in Covid 19 restricted England.

Brilliant review again. . .as always mate. Always look forward to your vids Paul. Us salaried folks are ok . . I do so Hope you are doing ok in these strange & trying times. . .

Thanks Paul that was an absolutely brilliant video very interesting and entertaining 👍😀

I did smile Paul, I live five minutes drive from Westerleigh Road Junction and you can hear the trains from the house at night when all is quiet. Bristol Parkway is my nearest big station xx.

Enjoyed seeing all the history along the line!

Sounds fun to me to. It would be great to travel with a tour group in a restored coach from the late 1800s / early 1900s. Everyone wearing period clothing.

The updated headlights and modern liveries have really made the HST look like a train built in the 2000s, Kenneth Grange's cab design has hardly aged and the Mk3 coaches simple clean design still look elegant, it's hard to believe they were built over 40 years ago!

Excellent video! Newcastle is awesome and that old train station is a beaut

Love these train videos Paul.

It is so strange to see Birmimgham New Street so quiet. Brilliant video as usuall and I am looking forward to the next one.

A wonderful trip and a great production!

I cannot imagine how these rail services will survive given how astonishing vacant the coaches were. Fondly remember an absolutely superb train ride from London to Edinburgh on an Intercity 125 many years ago. The ride and service was five star.

I've travelled on that service from London to York and back, on several international trips from the Netherlands. The last time was in first class. I totally agree, that was a great service!

Craking video Paul. As a train manager in Norway im enjoying your train reviews. Hope you one day come to Norway and try the most senic route of them all. The Bergen Railway 😉. That Tornado replica you saw at York was probably preparing its journy to Åndalsnes in Norway where it was used in the making of the latest Tom Cruise movie Mission Impossibille 7. They used the loconotive and a set of Norwegians coches foiled in the Orient express colors. Working up and down in the Romsdalen valley, a part of Raumabana, the line between Dombås and Åndalsnes. In a very senic part of Romsdalen Valley.

Already know it's going to be a great video

I once went on a Virgin EC HST to Edinburgh and we went into Newcastle the other way, in order to reverse as the First Class was at the wrong end of the train.

Great video Paul it looks okay myself look forward to your next video hopefully on an airline but great video

Very enjoyable content as always. I always enjoy your domestic videos. However I'm slightly ashamed you know more about my local area (york through to leeds) more than me! Cheers

Excellent production well narrated

nice and green in the uk, nice, def need the water here in California. Great video

Yet another enjoyable report.

Fantastic trains, beautiful stations, awesome trip, thanks for narrating the journey so we don't waste time reading to a lot of text, and therefore we don't miss any views of the video.

Another trivia fact on the Costa at York station is that, apparently the only Costa with a blue color scheme. This was done ito reflect the brand identity of Northern Rail..

Costa or Starbucks? Costa pays tax in the UK. British Starbucks apparently makes a lot of money for its American shareholders, but has never paid tax because they pay massive royalties to Dutch Starbucks (for the recipe and use of the name) and always make a "loss." Or go to Cafe Nero.

watched the Tornado coming through Crowthorne Station in Berkshire a few years ago, fantastic.

Nice video Sir Stay safe on your travels

Great Video, Paul

Great report Paul. If I can, I'd recommend the Copenhagen - Hamburg journey (especially in the summer time), where the train itself boards a ferry to cross the straight between Rødbyhavn, DK and Puttgarden, DE. Super great views both on and off the train. Best ride of my life for sure.

Great vid, Paul👍🏻I’ll be goIng to Bristol myself next September (all things being well) by train for a weekend, but from Paddington. I’ll fly into Heathrow on the Friday, then take the Express to Paddington, then hop over the platforms to get the Bristol train. Apparently that method is quicker than going from Heathrow to Reading and boarding the train there.....so I’m told. I’ll investigate it nearer the time when I book it👍🏻🚝✈️
