Sorry it's a caption video this week. Been suffering from burnout lately so the next few might be too. Sorry if this bothers you.

Do you think the HST was better than the IET?

This is like the Travel Reports of years ago. I don't mind the captions, and they do give one an experience of the actual trip and its sounds but overall there's much more to these when vocal commentary let's your personality come through. But if you need a break from that we'll understand.

No worries mate. I don't know how you were able to do two a week in the past.

No problem at all with captions, hope you're better soon. Keep up the good work when you can.

I like the captions Dylan. Voiceover is great but with captions you can really focus on the video and excellent filming. It's like you're doing the journey yourself. 😊

Miss your lovely accent, Dylan. Get well and hope to hear you again soon.

Thanks Dylan, brilliant video as always! A journey on the ECML is always enjoyable (well, when the wires are up!!)

You could have given a shout out for the Head of Steam Railway Museum at Darlington. Although quite a distance from the ECML Darlington Station, is worth a visit.

Great video Dylan, thanks as always. Enjoy the captions by the way.

Nice one Dylan, hope you can get a bit of rest and begin to feel better soon. Hope your good lady wife is OK and looking after you.

Thanks for the excellent trip report.

Great vid dylan took us through all the good stuff, and also caught the Transpinne electrification progress which was nice to see. and the 80s which look nice too.

A very interesting video Dylan and nothing wrong with captions...feel good soon !

A nice journey. however, you forgot the most important things in Huddlersfield are Felix & Bolt, The Huddersfield station cats!

Hi Dylan I hope your batteries are being recharged, looking forward to your return.

Loved the caption video! It’s vintage Dylan and I feel it’s more relaxing as it puts me right there on the journey. Take care of yourself, old boy. Hope you’re better soon. 🙏

Great trip. The TransPennine Express' livery is the best. Speed recovery and get well soon.

Great video Dylan. I was expecting to hear your usual voice at the start, then of course the captions came up. Take care of yourself please.

Looks like all the windows are commandeered by the table seats; those in airline seats get a wall view? You appear to have found airline seats with a window!

Very sorry to hear you had a burnout, I hope you'll get better soon and make a full recovery. A great review of the Nova 1. I rode it between Leeds and Liverpool and found it very comfortable and quick journey.

I’m sorry to hear that your suffering form burnout. But I did miss the good old caption videos

Looks good inside and out.

I really wonder why the trend is towards harder seats on new trains? Is comfort considered a vice or something? Maybe they should bring back comfy chairs but we can only sit in them if we promise to give ourselves a good flogging when we get to our destination 🙄

Well done Dylan, it's like your earlier videos, when they were all captioned. I remember seeing Durham Cathedral last July, coming up from London to Edinburgh; its quite a historical structure, spanning the Romanesque to Gothic. I can't help but notice how slick and modern British trains look, our Amtrak trains are boxy and kind of sluggish. I'm planning on doing the Hadrian Wall walk next year, around September or October, with us ending up in Newcastle. While I'm there I've been thinking about taking a couple of days in Durham afterwards, before going down to London. Good work Dylan, chin up and until next time dude.

Good work Dylan.

I believe the lighting on this family of vehicles is far to bright.... I guess it negates the need for individual overhead lights and helps reduce overall build cost.

I sat for interview with Transpennine Express and now hold an offer for host position and I feel like I accept it after watching this video.Hopefully encounter with decent passengers🙏🏻 Thanks a lot for video!

Hope you get you're voice back properly soon. Captions do take a bit away from video as you spend time looking at the text rather than the video content

I hope you get your voice back soon, it’s always difficult to take it all in with captions. Newcastle Platform 1… you may recall before the pandemic TPE began running a regular service up to Edinburgh along the East Coast Mainline and one of the reasons for the 802’s. Since the pandemic that regular service was never properly restored other than one or two a day straight through. They effectively put a break into the service at Newcastle but the train needs to be parked for the time duration, so platform 1 get used where it then continues north, but this service seems to be more progressively being phased out. The platform 1 layover may be the remanent of the previous service.

Hi Dylan, do you have a new camera? Today's video was extremely sharp, I could almost see 3D on my TV screen. Nicely done and wish you a speedy recovery!

Another excellent video mate. I noticed that you use the pixel 6 pro. Do you suffer with the battery drain?

I like caption style video

Dylan I don't mean this in a horrible way but maybe you could update your channel description to upload on Fridays but sometimes I have breaks

TransPennine Express should still keep the Class 185 Desiro, Class 397 Civity and Class 802 Bi-mode trains. As they are now longer using the Class 68+Mk5A and to be moved for storage.

Great video as usual My wife and I are travelling to Manchester next week, from Newcastle but via Doncaster. I didn't book the direct TPE train due to their reliability problems It'll be LNER to Doncaster, then TPE over to Manchester. We even booked the TPE trip as first class, as it was only £15 for the two of us (standard would have been £11.60) Only snag, no seat reservations, so I contacted TPE who just said .. sit anywhere .. we'll be very annoyed if we can't get 2 sears together in what looks like, a small first class section. If LNER can offer proper seat reservations at the time if booking, why can't TPE.

😮 I can’t wait to go back the NRM next year after the refurbishment I can’t wait to see any new exhibitions

Most interesting route out of Newcastle. A 1-off or something unique to TPE services...?

I went on this train just from York to Darlington and had had back pain from those terrible seats.

5:02 thats my mam on the far left! yes she works there lol

Newcastle and Huddersfield proper "Railway Stations"not bare platforms with the odd inadequate "Bus Shelter " plonked on willy-nilly. The rail industry has forgotten that making passengers comfortable whilst waiting for at train is almost as important as running an on time decent service.Nowt wrong with captions lad,I prefer them.

I've done the journey to work on these many times - Man Piccadilly to Glasgow Central - and I have to say the seats are awful over long distances. Very uncomfortable for both sitting/relaxing or trying to get a little sleep. The livery and colour scheme look fabulous though.

Snazzy carpet!

What was the date of travel?

Boa tarde Dylan lindo trem gostei por dentro do trem boa viagem

I honestly think it’s OK that he didn’t do any voice narration

Be a few more years before you have that train noise between Leeds and Manchester

Why in the U.K. is it that we don’t get she’ll back recliner seats?. It seams that capacity is the priority.

Also soon on emr trains to

I just wish that they had direct trains from Manchester Victoria to Liverpool Lime St to connect with the passenger only ferries and Cruise Ships to Dublin (not Birkenhead) or at the very least, more direct trains from Manchester Victoria to Holyhead for the ferries to Dublin - in my 21 years living in Manchester, Irish Rail trains are way better, which also includes the Dublin DART trains and the LUAS Trams, which are even better than the Manchester Metrolink Trams - now if only we could get the LUAS up to the Irish Ferries/Stena Terminals and get tenders to go up the River Liffey at high tide to at least the Custom House or even up to Capel St Bridge

There were in the late 1960's regular boat trains from London,Manchester and Leeds to Heysham for overnight ferrys to Northern Ireland.There were also regular train services to Hollyhead and to various other ferry ports in the UK.

London Bridge needed modernising. The old station wasn't fit for purpose anymore. As much as you may not like it, the new london Bridge Station is much better in ease of use

It was actually good not having to listen to you mispronouncing a lot of the English language ie putting a "k" on the end of every word ending in "ing".

Burn out, LOL. You young snowflakes make me laugh.
