Could you do a full length
Great video, really appreciated the knowledgeable commentary. Minor complaint: music infill is way too loud!
Very enjoyable. Thank you for posting it.👍
That was awesome !!! Thank you for sharing it with us...😀😀😀
The gentleman knows the line so well that he knows when to speed the video up and slow it down., in order to comment about the important features. So, he can fit the whole line into a fairly short space of time.
Thank you! That was fun! My brother in law is from Scotland. I'm enjoying watching videos from there. 😊
I loved the end where it looked like it overtook the parked ScotRail!
An interesting format. Nice and clear. I'm used to being able to look out the side windows though. Ex freight conductor for Canadian Pacific RR. My great grandfather was a clock maker and had a shop in Dalkeith. The building is still there.
Brilliant video. Spent many a night working on the the tracks between Carstairs and Cobbinshaw Reservoir 😎
What a route to drive on a daily basis! Amazing.
Nice video really enjoyable. Hopefully there is another one of those styles of videos coming out soon.
Excellent thanks for sharing
Brilliant video very interesting and informative 👍
What a superb video, thanks very much!
Well done piece!
Very interesting video, enjoyed every moment of it
Thank you for adding that 'lil Bit extra Commentry!
Is there any plans to do the tnye valley diversion via Carlisle to Edinburgh
Enjoyed the video and the scenic views. I'm surprised the route taken is still used. It would be a lot more sensible to take avoid Motherwell and head over vua Bellshill, Shotts and Livingston, especially since that line was recently electrified.
I agree you should do the full length
Great video, but you can see the train arrival at Edinburgh was either shot on different days or at different times or both as at 09:40 the train is seen arriving via platform 19, yet at 09:48 the cab video shows the train arriving via platform 20 and then crossing to platform 2..

Ha! Ha! You see, there are train spotters detectives out there checking on you.!!
Surely missed a chance to mention the South Edinburgh line that used to act as a commuter route. The west junction is just after Slateford and is served by 1 xc train each weekday doing g GLC-EDB
Very interesting video which wasn’t completely ruined by the awful backing music but it was a close run thing.
Great video I do love trains but the Azuma is definitely my favourite.

Great to see Polmadie from the air at 1:30.
great run
9:43 when gulls attack!
WOW! These LNER trains accelerate like formula 1 cars! (It's a joke. Don't comment!) I too would have liked more normal speed bits. The aerial views are very good.
Is it a new route that u can take between Glasgow and Edinburgh via lner
Music much too loud in comparison to voice. Also why the rush? The video could have been slower. At 20 minutes long viewers might have had time to see the things that are mentioned.
What service was or is it going to be
Excellent
Good watch
Very interesting and great Video ! 👍 Many Greets from Germany !

Will LNER go from Glasgow Queen Street to Edinburgh Waverley and London Kings Cross. Via Falkirk High.
Love your accent!!
Sound of music too loud compared with the commentary.

Don't think you'll be driving 91s for LNER, they're getting withdrawn, they'll be gone by the end of this year
It would be nice if LNER served Glasgow more often now that CrossCountry seem to have all but abandoned it.

I didn't know the LNER still ran trains to Central .
Is it going to be a full length or snippets

It'll be similar to our other In the Driver's Seat videos - around 10 minutes in length.

@@LondonNorthEasternRailway I suppose it has to be short to keep the cost down. But as I do not edit videos for a living I may be out of my depth but surely full length, cab view with captions should be cheaper than all the drone footage. But as always the social media team win over the engineers and the like in these type of videos.
Why don’t you stop at Carstairs?
That’s possible?
Nice images, but what’s with the really intrusive “background “ music? Appalling.
I lived in Kirknewton once and it was nice to see the trains and level crossing,sadly though too many stories of silly people who crossing the line when the train wasnt far away....

Thankfully, you can't do that as easily now. There are full length barriers that come down well in advance of oncoming trains, and plenty of CCTV. cameras.

LNER services arrive at Glasgow Central, the busiest train station in Scotland. Inter-city trains connect you hourly to Edinburgh and onwards along the east coast mainline to Newcastle, York and London. Trains to Inverness, Stirling and Aberdeen are available at Edinburgh Waverley station. Visit our website for more information www.lner.co.uk/our-destinations/popular-destinations/trains-to-glasgow/
Do liner trains even operate in glasgow

Nice video made better with a commentary but why no mention of Carstairs Hospital on the left? It’s probably the biggest set of buildings on the route but just ignored 🤔
Cool music 🎶 send me name
We want to see locomotives
Get more
Great video but maybe do them in real time even though that would make some over an hour or 2 hours
I agree with Anthony Gordon: the music is much too loud, or your voice is too low. Otherwise a great video.
Swap you a 65G 318 Alan.
