Coming from Chicago and riding our Metra for almost exactly the same distance and price I'd say you got excellent value. Your trains seem bright, cheery and comfortable. I wish we could get some of that for $9.10. Thanks for the great ride along and congratulations on 100K subscribers! I am proud to be one. 😁

Me too, but I'm a subscriber from the start! I've been a subscriber to her channel since she started and I've always loved her videos. I bought a lot of products on his Teespring store. I wear, each time when I take the train, one of his T-shirts, so it makes me very happy, you can see that I am a real train fanatic

I used live on that line - was once a solid pacer route bouncing along at 70mph on jointed track ever since their introduction in the late 1980's. Seems very odd now seeing class 170s on the route. Doncaster control used to call it the 'cuckoo line'.

Nice video, as always! The train is very smart looking, inside and out.. The scenery was charming with those grey stone houses - and the rainy conditions didn’t spoil it at all.

Thank you for narrating the speeds and distances in SI units 🙏 keep it up!

Great vid! Today if u traveled today you would expect very bad weather 🤣

Another informative video. I know that route quite well as I went to college in Hull and I'm off to Filey in March. Keep up the good work, Dylan.

Love it!

amazing video dylan mate your apinion is almost the same as my experiance on the 170 to york from harrogate

Rather nice job Northern have done with these units. Very much a brighter interior to that when they were with ScotRail but I wont quibble at ScotRail's presentation. My experience with the Class 170 units there was quite good and the trolley service on some services was a pleasant surprise. I had to laugh out loud at your welcome to sunny Scarborough.

I’d say out of Northerns DMUs the 170s and 3 car 158s are the best for comfort as the 195s have the fainsa ironing board seats like the 2 car 158s and ex scotrail 156s

great vid

Nice review of the World's Coast/Yorkshire Coast Line. Having traveled on Northern 170's between Sheffield and Scarborough via Hull, sat in ex First Class seating and found the journey very comfortable. Incase your interested: There is a daily Northern service that operates between Scarborough to York via Hull which is a class 155 Sprinter. One of only seven left.

I have done that journey last year it's very beautiful line along the coastline. I think those seats are common on the 170s /171s as Southern railway 171s have the same seats

another great ride on a decent uk local service. fair enough. thx

I used to work the 170s, ScotRail had a service from Edinburgh to Aberdeen then over to Inverness. Imagine sitting on the seats on that journey.

To us my brother and me we travelled from York itself to Scarbough and then passed Malton and Seemore.

It’s still strange to me seeing channels you watch regularly feature something local. 😂 Like I’ve been to Scarborough on the train from Hull so many times as I live in Hull. It’s a nice little journey along the coast 👍

Idk why but I find your voice very relaxing

Scarborough is fantastic, it has something for everyone and you can live there year-round unlike the overly cutesy Whitby which has no facilities and just attracts working class snobs who don't like penny arcades and chip shops. Great video Dylan .. you're very slick and professional and you have a great style/method/approach oh and you are a workaholic which suits me fine as we all get to see regular videos of yours!!

I love them class 170s (only ever been on it once sadly as i only go up there on holiday from the north) and Go whichever way is cheaper lol

One thing I've noticed from your videos Dylan is you do love a fanta 🤣. Great video yet again!

Right shame missed my town of Beverley. Walk my dogs adjacent to track just north of Bev. Under appreciated part of the country with the wolds not far away

I hope you took a ride onboard the coastliner bus! (Leeds - york - malton - Scarborough / Whitby) - voted the UK’s most scenic bus route! If not, future video maybe?

Too bad about the weather. Nevertheless, another great report. Congrats on 100K!

What missing the lovely station at Beverley and skipping to Cottingham had you dozed off Dylan lol . Another great video though . I still think Hull is the only city in East Yorrkshire so it would have to be the biggest . Take care and keep safe.

Despite being a Geordie, this area is so precious to me; holidays at Butlins Filey (now long gone) in my youth. Day trips to 'Brid', and my lovely great auntie who lived in Driffield, who we visited each year (who recently passed away aged 99). It was a shame that you ommitted quite a few station stops on the route (including Driffield) but still enjoyed the brief coverage of the trip, in the usual pleasant, friendly Dylan style. :o)

Amazing video, i was on this train yesterday going from goole to hull and back, also take the train to driffield sometimes, well as i take the northern service quite often i can describe it as ok but the only thing i would say is worst is the price as i paid £15 for 45 minute journey

These 170s really aren't that bad. I was impressed with them when I used one to travel between Sheffield and Hull.

You should do a train comparison video, Transpennine Express operates class 185s and Nova 3s between York and Scarborough

I love that route, for its old-fashioned quaintness. If you're ever down there again, be sure to alight at Bridlington and take a look around its station, which I think once had seven platforms - and the still extant ornate booking hall and refreshment room! I hope you also took some time to explore Hull, which is one of those surprisingly interesting cities that tends to get by-passed by tourists and visitors alike... As for the 170s - you hit the nail on the head when you said that they are quite reasonable trains to provide the service ON THAT ROUTE. For that is the key. I think you're based in Inverness, aren't you? In which case I can totally understand your dislike for them - as they are definitely NOT suited for such long, heavily-used inter-city type services! Capacity issues apart, I've always thought of them as the most comfortable second-generation DMUs, as their seats are well padded (though well overdue a refurbishment, at least on ScotRail) and most of them line up well to the windows - which also have that all-important shelf for your elbows!

I was meant to be doing this route a few months ago, but sadly car troubles put pay to my plans. I'm sure I'll get back to it eventually and I'll know what to look out for now.

Would have been nice to include passing whats left of the junction to the former filey holiday camp station. You were on the correct side as well.

Would love to see Video 125 do a driver's eye view of the Yorkshire Coast line. Plenty to see and talk about :)

Amazing. For once, you found a trip in the UK that's cheaper than the equivalent V/Line service here in Victoria, Australia. The trip from Melbourne Southern Cross to Marshall (roughly the same distance) will set you back AU$13.90, or just over £7. The scenery (even given the crap weather) is much better on your trip than the one I just mentioned!! 😂😂

Looked like ample legroom on that Scarborough bench, even for a six-footer like yourself.

Ayyy hull my local again! I prefer this line over the hull to york etc etc

Oh dear! You left out Beverley, the county town of the East Riding of Yorkshire, which has a lovely old station with a superb restaurant at the front. It is in the same unique style as the old Pocklington station (now incorporated into Pocklington School's facilities) on the former Beverley to York line - another catastrophic victim of the Beeching axe.

Looks pleasant enough and a smooth ride over jointed rail is a bonus although I'm surprised UK still has jointed rail which I expect in the U.S.

Congratulations on 100K subscriptions! I've been watching that number grow these last few weeks as it was getting close. Besides the scenery, your eye for detail and the thoroughness of your reports I think switching from captions to voice-over really brought in more people. There was something nice about the captioning and silence but one had to watch twice sometimes, once for reading and once for just watching. Talking allows for so much more information and observations and lets your personality come through. I agree with some here that you should make a special video to mark this occasion. I loved that York stone train station.

Northern’s 170s are WiFi enabled now, not sure why yours wasn’t. Also, seems strange that you jumped straight from Bridlington to Cottingham. Beverley is a fine station with a rare overall roof plus there are great views of the minster as you depart.

Hope you didn't get blown off the rails anywhere during Eunice! I saw that most all rail service was shut down. 122MPH on the Isle of Wight!

I am amazed at the opportunities available in the UK compared to the overpriced, old, slow rides we endure in the States. I couldn't move around in my own city for that price. It is wonderful how much effort is put into the rail system in the UK. We'd use it if ours compared on any level. The rails in the States are owned & controlled by the shipping companies. That's why we can expect to sit on a side rail waiting for a shipping carrier to come by first. Passengers are not a consideration here. Merchandise trumps us on a daily basis. That's why we drive everywhere. It's sad. As for your journey, I do have to wonder about those head rests on the seats. I'm on the short side. Not quite sure how I'd fare with that. It might have been useful to see how it was for you. But then, you can't film yourself from a distance. I just have to wonder if they work for anyone. Happy travels. Enjoy your weekend.

Thank you for your fascinating insight into the passenger rail network in the USA I didn't realise this! Every country has their strengths and weaknesses no country is perfect I'm sure the USA will adopt some form of high quality nationwide mass transit system at some point .. but it might be difficult to justify on a cost benefit basis seeing as you're still a very large and relatively underpopulated nation..even now!

I really like what Northern has done with those 170s, considering they used to run between Glasgow Queen Street and Edinburgh they've really kitted them out nicely and are using them on more appropriate regional routes too rather than city to city connection with large numbers of commuters, hence the Scotrail upgrade to the class 385s which they often double up on the Edinburgh line
