Coach Travel To Disneyland Paris. How Bad Can It Be?? VERY BAD!! 😭
I've flown to France. Gone to Paris by Eurostar. But I've never been by coach or ferry. So decided to try out the ultra-cheap, sub-£50 FlixBus service from the UK to Disneyland Paris. A decision I quickly come to regret!! This is part one of a three-video series about my short holiday to the French capital. Enjoy!

Megabus vs. FlixBus vs. National Express... Cheap Coach Travel UK

Good to see aomeone havimg a good Jurney on Megabus ost Videos have a tale of Wor
looks like a horror movie. now way as nice as the Japanese ones
😂 Yeah, you're right. It was a creepy place. Made stranger because it was so empty. One day I will try the Japanese pods and report back. 🙂
BEST TRANSPORT RUclipsR EVER!!!!!
I'm doing the same but from birmingham to paris on a flixbus on spring break next year
I can never bring myself to pay for the extras like reserving a seat because I just know that if someone took my seat, I'd be seething about the £2 for the entire journey 😂
you're lucky mate. i've had some apalling experiences with megabus
Most Megabus videos on RUclips are tales of woe.
Would you be interested in a 50% family and friends ticket on national express.
Thanks for the offer, but I already have NatExpress discount. Appreciate the gesture though. 🙂
@JayShareef no problem, brother. Jazakallah for the reply back
Hi Jay long time sub here...Did you take down your older video on micro cards and the cards you used for your car vs the go pro? I bought the Kingston micro card from the list you provided in the video and its working great. Thanks and be safe out there.
Hi Polly. Hope you're well. Yes, that video isn't on this channel anymore. I moved all my tech-related videos to a different channel, here: www.youtube.com/@BigFatTech I'm going to focus this channel on a more travel/tourism theme so pushed all the tech stuff to a different location, just so there was a separation between the themes. 🙂
@@JayShareef Nice and thank you.
Very helpful video but did I miss the segment on National Express?
Quite a unique experience. They could have made the inside of the pods more interesting. I'm surprised that the pod thing hasn't taken off in London.
Agree completely. And it's strange someone hasn't taken the risk of sticking a pod hotel in central London proper. Especially now so many commercial properties are sitting empty. There must be a market for ultra-cheap, simple short-term accommodation. 👍
New subscriber from California. Enjoyed the video - in March I took Eurostar from London to Paris - 119 pounds - a little expensive but quick.
Yes, Eurostar is fantastic. I've seen it as low as £35 at times. I hope you enjoyed your time in the UK and France. 🙂
Why do you so much complaining?
I was both hangry and horny. Therefore, cranky.
Please be aware that nobody asked you to come into the EU, and you were filming and making a video throughout. Do you realize that it is illegal for people from a third country to work and earn money whilst in the EU. You may access the EU countries ( 90 days in every 180 ) but not work! Do you understand?
Feel free to report me to the authorities. 🙃
Here we have the average European citizen whose only achievement in life is being randomly born in a country that is part of the EU, and therefore feels the need to point that out every chance they get and ensure that people who are not from said political and economic block, are treated as secondary humans. No wonder this continent is going down a cliff
Nice free haul 😊
Hey what did you like best Minehead or Skegness butlins and the surrounding area? I have been to Skegness thinking of booking Minehead but unsure.
I love both Skegness and Minehead - to me both are more enjoyable than Bognor!! I think the area surrounding the Minehead resort is a lot nicer, and has a lot more to explore, than Skegness. The northern Butlins resort is fine for what it is. But the surrounding area seems to be getting worse and worse. A real shame. There's still plenty to do in Skegness, of course. But you can't beat the areas around Minehead for natural beauty.
@@JayShareef thank you for the comment mate I went to Skegness the start of August for the first time 2 adults 2x kids (we have decided to go again next year as we did enjoy it and still have some things we wanted to do I was really close to booking Minehead but I was put off for some reason I just think my kids will be bored (out of Butlins) going for 7 nights there is only so much Butlins you can do without getting a little bored right lol maybe I will try Minehead 2026
@@Mrandythefoodman I don't blame you. With Pleasure Beach and Fantasy Island nearby, for young kids Skegness is the better option. For slightly older visitors, places like Dunster (and Castle) plus Bossington, Exmoor and lots of quaint coastal towns might appeal a lot more. Enjoy Skegness. It's always been fun for me!! 🙂
Ha ! Loved the end! Your face was a picture! I have got alot growing on my allotment plot and have been taking them and freezing them, but alot of the blackberries taste really sour/bitter, its such a shame, but great to make jams and crumbles with. Just found your channel and this video made me smile!
Great video, thank you for sharing 😊😊😊
Too far out of central. Would uive me the creeps. Tube costs more to get there. Not for me.
I'm in the same pod tonight wish me luck pookie 🙏🙏
Good luck!! 😂
@@JayShareef thankyouuuu it's much needed
@@Lychee-r7t How was it??
@JayShareef way too hot for my liking but other than that not bad 😭
There is at least one other pod hotel in London at St Christopher's Inn
I know the one you mean, at London Bridge. I've been there. But don't consider that to be a "pod hotel". It's more of a hostel (which also has some pods). I've also heard people describe the Yotel at Gatwick as a "pod hotel" but to me that's just tiny hotel rooms rather than pods - each one has a private tiny bathroom. I guess how you see it all comes down to semantics and what your definition of "pod hotel" (and indeed "hotel") is.
... where's national express?
On the cutting room floor (metaphorically). The camera I used to film my NX trip disappeared from my desk and I have never found it since. So NX only gets mentioned in the video as part of the comparison section rather than the journey itself.
You can get it from Digbeth coach station in Birmingham and it goes to Victoria coach station in linden and it, sometimes goes to Finchley road or Golders green station
I have this exact journey near the end of the month, but am toying with mega as that is £16 there and back for me and my partner but national express is £33 so a big difference!
Megabus is no frills but I was quite comfortable all the way. I'd definitely use them again. Hope your trip is fun. 🙂
Beautiful accent, informative video and a pleasure to watch. Love from Imran in Manchester !
Thanks Imran. Appreciate the kind words. 🙂
Hello sir I like your video :) I plan to go there on my holiday and stay at this hotel. What places which are near do you recommend?? Thank you very much indeed
Glad you liked the video. Hackney area doesn't have a lot to do - I think there's a museum and an independent cinema. You might want to check out St. Augustine's Tower if you like history, but I think it's only open once a month. There are lots of food places though, catering for every kind of cuisine you might want. Best thing about staying in Hackney Downs is that it's easy to get to Liverpool Street station and then get on the tube to visit anywhere in central London, where you can see all the main attractions - Buckingham Palace, Houses of Parliament, London Eye, Hyde Park and Edgware Road etc. You can also take a train from Liverpool Street station to Southend or Manningtree if you want to visit the beach for a day trip. Let me know how it goes.
Thank you so much for some pieces of information 🙏
Good video.what was the tune that was playing at the start.
Glad you liked it. The music is called "At the game" and it's by Max McFerren. You can find it here: ruclips.net/video/65k5GxlBzGA/видео.html

That is fucking horrendous!! What the hell has happened to London?! I wouldn't let an animal sleep in there.
Get these migrants coming over from France in them but put 2 or 3 of them in the same one theyl sharp think forget this
🤣
Don't go to any of these "attractions" . London has so much more to offer.
Which ones do you think I should visit next?
What camera did you film this with Jay
I've started using a new camera recently. Bought a DJI Pocket 3 and added a K&F Black Mist 1/4 filter. I chose the K&F version because it's very slim, so you never have to take it off the camera.
@@JayShareefI did notice a difference tbh, didn’t think it was the x3000. My fav place is Chessington btw
@@Delicious_and_Delirious I've still got my X3000 as a backup. I'm constantly amazed how good the video still looks after all these years. When your main camera runs out of juice, that old Sony is still a competent backup option. I've never been to Chessington, but it's definitely on my list for 2024! Thanks for the tip. 🙂
@@JayShareef Oh I promise you will love Chessington beat theme park iv been to. Just make sure you go early when doors are open
@@Delicious_and_Delirious thanks for the advice. I've got some time off work in August and will add Chessington to my schedule. 🙂
No one cares about the lgbtabcdef.... The LP needs to get TF out of identity politics.
Bit rude saying "poor peoples accommodation" I've stayed in all of the accommodation there and I've been comfortable and had fun in every one of them...
There's a concept called "tongue in cheek". Not everyone will be on board with that style of presentation. The playful, tongue in cheek way of presenting things is how I choose to do it. Everyone has different tastes. I might not be to yours.
God forbid there's ever a fire in that place... You are asleep in a wooden box!
A good thing I never thought of that before I made the video, or I'd NEVER have stayed their overnight!! 🔥🔥🔥 And, now, I never will again!
You can get a room in an airbnb for £30
Best I could find on ABnB for that date, within Zone 2, was £56. It did look very nice though. Luxurious in comparison to the coffin!! 🤣
Staying in Hackney Downs is a bad idea to being with, it’s too far from anything of interest and the trains that run there are lousy. The area itself is horrible. To stay there in a makeshift coffin just makes it all the more miserable. God help anyone coming to London that tries that lot out. The ‘pod’ looks like an infection incubator and far too small and nasty looking. What a dump, why did they even bother? £37 sounds cheap but Christ you’d be better off spending another £30 and staying in an actual cheap hotel that isn’t in the middle of a crappy part of London. Utterly awful.
I wonder why I have never stayed there.
your a sad twa.. when your homeless you have no Capsule, what ever size u live in. Just appreciate cheap or expensive capsule. hahaaha
They could have painted or covered the plywood ffs.
for 1200 you can go abroad to a beautiful sunny all inclusive holiday lol
Apparently you get a discount if you book for two people. Only 50 quid but the other person has to sleep on top of your body. 🤭
🤣
I thought you were kidding. But I just checked and it's true!! Imagine two people trying to sleep comfortably in that single-person coffin! 😂
Im planning on going there on my vacation this year and stay at this hotel for a week, exploring the Hacksey Down area. What should I not miss checking out? Could you please recommend some restaurants in Hacksey Down? Guess there arent any beach or swimming opportunitues? Do u think a week will be enough? Thanks
A week is a long time to stay in a pod hotel. But if you're using it as a base for visiting London, then it might be fine. And very cheap! Hackney doesn't have a lot to do - I think there's a museum and an independent cinema. You might want to check out St. Augustine's Tower if you like history, but I think it's only open once a month. There are lots of food places though, catering for every kind of cuisine you might want. Best thing about staying in Hackney Downs is that it's easy to get to Liverpool Street station and then get on the tube to visit anywhere in central London. You can also take a train from Liverpool Street station to Southend or Manningtree if you want to visit the beach for a day trip. Let me know how it goes. 🙂
Im from Australia This looks like the making of a horror movie,your walking down a creepy alley to door you than go inside see your in a morgue. 😂😂😂 Hell no .i thought it would be fun not bloody likely now. Is this Chinese owned or what lol 😂
everything looks so gross over there lol
These videos work better when you don't add the ongoing live commentary, the Japanese have this down 100%, it's all subtitles. That means, firstly you are not annoying the other people in the pods, also you don't ramble as you create a script. 'Noise complaints', yeh this is this guy in the pod next to me talking I'm trying to sleep before catching my flight....
It comes down to a matter of taste. Some people prefer the live commentary. Others prefer the voiceover. My own preference when watching RUclips are the videos with the live commentary. Which is why I chose to do it that way myself. And no-one was being annoyed. There were hardly any people staying there and I only ever spoke in the pod room in a low voice - and only during daylight hours. I always try and be considerate when filming videos.
You kept using the word coffin.... Ventilation or more accurately a supply of Oxygen seems the main flaw. Pods in other countries are much better including an air supply, sound proofing and overall quality.
“Poor people accommodation” you’re on the same resort regardless 😂😂 too snobby for butlins you
I agree. I am far too snobby for Butlins! But the kids love it there, so for the next couple of years I've no choice but to tag along. 🙂
The Nelson state room in the Shoreline Hotel is more expensive you should stay there see if you like it glad you had a lovely time at Butlins.
Thanks for the suggestion Summer. I might be going back to Bognor next year and will keep that option in mind. 🙂
23:14 that is a beautiful close-up of Joao, the male tiger. Also, Daseep (the female) was pacing back and forth in front of that door because that is where they do meet and greets, and people get to feed her and Joao. I had the pleasure of meeting Daseep last year, she is just the best.
Thanks Sarah. Really good to get some interesting background on what's happening there. They are my favourite animal and I hope to see more in future videos. 🙂
@@JayShareef no problem, Daseep and Joao are my favourites as well. Daseep is so friendly as she was hand reared and happily came over to us, but Joao isn't as friendly and kept his distance.
Is the silver room, the new style silver apartments??
I don't think so. Silver rooms are supposed to be a slight upgrade on Standard rooms. Silver Apartments will have more amenities, like a separate lounge and kitchen. Usually it's an open plan lounge-kitchen area. Those will be much nicer than a Silver roon.
@@JayShareef thank you so much for replying! Feel a bit better about our stay next week now 🤣
@@KaterinaCooksGlad I could help. Have fun. 🙂
Love a bit of Butlins! ❤
