Добавлен 25 дек 2023
Hi
I travel a lot and will be using my channel to mainly review the many different trains that feature on my itineraries but I do plan to have the occasional coach/bus/ferry /hotel video as well.
The best way of keeping up to date with my upload schedule is to check the community section.
If you have any requests on something that you think I should make a video of or any personal questions , please keep them in their designated places so that I don't miss them.
If you enjoy what you see, please like , comment and subscribe.
I aim to read and respond to all comments except ones I deem inappropriate.
Please note that all of the filming , editing , planning itineraries etc on this account is all done by one person .
If you want to , you can email me at gabrieltravels@outlook.com if you wish.
Flights have no place on my channel!

Britain's rarest train - Northern railway class 155
In this video , I ride from Beverley to Hull on what I'm convinced is the UK's rarest passenger train still in use the Northern railway class 155 .
I found the seats comfortable.
Price: I had a free ticket issued for a delay replay claim that I used.

Просмотров 1204 часа назад
Date of travel: 11-August . In this video , I travelled from Skegness to Long Eaton by train . I had to change trains at Nottingham.

Avanti West Coast Birmingham New Street lounge- don't expect a three course meal **with subtitles**
Просмотров 133Месяц назад
In this video, I used the first class lounge in Birmingham New Street. Date of use: 27-July Time: 12:06-12:36 There was plenty of seating . I found it very peaceful and comfortable. The selection of complimentary food and drink available was limited but appreciated as there was no first class service onboard , due to a caterers strike I believe. I was the only passenger in here for much of my t...

Просмотров 459Месяц назад
With subtitles In this video, I travel from York to London Kings Cross in first class on an LNER Intercity 225 . My ticket included lounge access at both ends.
