Cheers, another spotlessly clean train.. great to see.. with cracking views.. 😊

I loved that film, thanks, in my own neck of the woods! For ten years I worked with foreign students in Glasgow and sometimes took them on day trips to Falkirk Wheel - including the inevitable walk through the tunnel at the High station. They really enjoyed the tunnel. Your camera seems to do what mine does - auto-focus on raindrops on the window rather than what's outside!

Thank for getting off at Falkirk and going through our spooky canal tunnel!

And we also enjoyed your little venture around Scotland as well G, especially that walk along the canal

You still look full of beans at the end, I think I would be ready for my bed after that journey, Polmont is a cute station, as it is my destination for visiting family after travelling up the WCML to Edinburgh.

Great video G. My eldest son lives in Edinburgh and is about your age. Your video made me look forward to visiting him more. Great enthusiasm as always. The world needs more like you.

Another great video. Loved the Falkirk station and the tunnel walk thru. I love the large stations but there is just something special about those small older stations in the U.K. I loved the quick views of Glasgow Central. I was just there a few months ago and stayed at the VOCO Grand Central Hotel. A lot of history with that hotel. I felt like I was just back in Edinburgh when you were walking down Princes Street. I love the Views you get up towards the castle. If you ever have the chance as much as you love flowing water I would highly recommend taking the train from Waverly up to StoneHaven and take the short taxi ride and visit Dunottar Castle. We were there when they first opened and the sun coming up over the North Sea is absolutely stunning at the Castle. Be sure and sit on the right side of the train heading North. Thanks again for sharing and bringing back such great memories. Unfortunately not getting back to the U.K. this year other than transiting thru Heathrow but I get to enjoy your videos and Imagine myself in some of my favorite visited places.

A tip for your future travel in Glasgow. I wouldn't walk From Glasgow Central and Queen Street in the rain. There's a shuttle bus Between the 2 stations. Or from Glasgow Central low level to Partick. Switch platforms and go from Partick to Queen Street Low level And walk upstairs. Yes it's a bit of a detour. But with a views of the river Clyde and keeping out of the rain. It's worth it. Plus you can get the train from Partick straight to Edinburgh Waverley.
