My favourite place thank you so much I must visit the Church next time fascinating history 👌🙏

The law says, brown sauce on sausages and tomato ketchup on bacon. Anyone doing anything else will be deported to the UK's Guantanamo on Jersey.
LOL
New to the channel here Jon, thanks for sharing some great videos 🙏 and looking forward to seeing what it’s like on the other side of the world in Mongolia! 😮 Let us know how things workout with any language barriers and how you get around it. Meantime, safe travels👍🏼
Thank you for watching and yeah I’ll keep you posted with plenty of videos. Fortunately I’ve spent most of the last 25 years living abroad and having to learn languages, so nothing too new for me there…
Enjoyed that, thank you. I've subscribed.
@@MiriamWhitaker Thanks a lot 🙏
Thanks
Oh thank you! Really appreciate the help : )
Would like to know if there any stops along the way. 😊
@@missrioux1385 Yes there are, but since it was nighttime and dark the whole way even in the morning (January) I didn’t take much notice of them, sorry. You can always check the GWR website for the exact route…
@JonDoesTravel No problem, just curious. New to your posts. I really enjoyed watching. Very relaxing 😌
@ Thanks 🙏 Glad you enjoyed it 😊
@JonDoesTravel PS: if you ever get a chance to do a London transport post, I desperately want to know how to get from London Waterloo to Terminal 4. I have travelled many places across the globe, but London worries me the most. I never go there 😬🤯. No hurry for info....not going till March. Thanks 😊
Great video mate a bit of music would be good in places but it's not a criticism.
@@marcusnadon7061 Thanks 😊
Hi mate nice video ... I been too Grimsby few times pubs are crap
@@andywright3450 Agreed 😅
@@JonDoesTravel It looks right GRIM in Grimsby glad i’ve never been there.
I haven't had cause to use the first class lounge at Paddington for quite a while, but I notice it doesn't look as nice anymore. The lighting isn't as cosy now the Tiffany-style lamps have gone.
OK
the stat that I’ve never been. I didn’t. put it very well haha!
I’ll have a look
Cheers 😊
Is it just me or is Top Bunk wider maybe just looks that way ,anyone nice video also got a sub and like cheers
@@jimmunro4649 Thank you 🙏. Yes top bunk is a bit wider without the backrest.
Never been there , nor Grimsby. I don’t think I’ll be breaking that statistic either mate! Grim indeed !
Breaking what statistic?
the stat that I’ve never been. I didn’t. put it very well haha!
@ aha
Ah yes beer! I remember beer! Not had one since end of December with being offshore !
Just think of all that money though 😉
@@JonDoesTravelthat’s my motivation!
Hi Jon. Managed to get a vpn that allows me on RUclips whilst I’m offshore. Great video! I’ll def have to do this trip. How did you kill a day in London and then Penzance? I’ll have to catch up on your videos I’ve missed Joe I have access again!!
Hi mate. In London I went to the Tate Modern and the South Bank (didn’t film it). After the train I went St Ives (video) then made two more videos (B&B and a day in Penzance).
Didn’t realise they did sleeper trains to Cornwall Thought they were only on trains to Scotland Amazing!
Thanks 🙏 Yeah you should try it 😊
Me too 😮
How much dose it cost? Is it a nice way to start a holiday
I break down the price in the video. Check the time stamps.
@@LucieLocke I think it’s a lovely way to start a holiday (but you do have to love trains 😉)
Joseph and today
@@josephlenehan4461 ??
They kick you off the train too early on the return trip to Paddington.
@@June-d3c Not me they didn’t. I was allowed to stay on long after it arrived …
@@JonDoesTravel Yes until a quarter to seven. I'm Burlington Bertie, I rise at ten-thirty.
@@June-d3c Haha
That pillow has been on the sleeper since 1975 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@SuperMetalRockets At least!
How much?
@@mattythehammer How much what?
A great video from Cornwall (Kernow),the area seems to still have some life in it still..Good luck for Mongolia ,Ulaanbaater,it appears to have some good universities in the city...
@@andysm1964 Thanks a lot 🙏 Much appreciated 😊
@@JonDoesTravel I like your padded two tone jacket with orange zip what brand is it if you don’t mind me asking?
@ Haha thanks. Think it’s from Mountain Warehouse. Their own brand.
Reminds me of a street where the doctors was that i had to go to. I seem to remember being sat down and looking to the side of me to discover a large cock roach upside down waving at me. The doctor saw it and put a cushions over him and i thought mmm if that had happened in the uk
Yes it is nice there well i liked it
Wasn't keen on Portugal not green enough for me although there were one or two nice places
What? Portugal is really green! You just need to avoid the south coast. Head north next time...
@JonDoesTravel Arr yes bit like Spain yuk but go in land it's beautiful
Yes I was with someone and basically he had lived there but obviously only showed me the coast
i was very surprised that was first class it looked very basic and small to me, the lounge was pretty basic with just the bare essentials and the cabin looked tiny with no shower or toilet. The breakfast looked like it was for a child, and when you mentioned someone came into your cabin during the night, that was totally out of order and dangerous too. I have travelled all over Asia and their transport infrastructure is exceptional compared to UK and Europe, and quality of transport and cost in Asia is fantastic, its only when I see vlogs like this and think how can you be happy with this low standard is beyond me and no one questions the low standard either especially first class. Come on man, you cant just show us things and not question anything. don't you have an opinion on anything ?
It was not First Class - it was just a 'Super Off-Peak Single" ticket. Only the Lounge was supposed to be first class, nothing else...And yes, everyone has an opinion (unfortunately at times...)
Don’t go on a weekend, as you will find it picks up all the locals that have been on the sherbets in each town or city 😂
I do this journey every couple of weeks both ways for work. The cabins are wee but functional enough & comfortable & the buffet car is lovely. Well worth the trip. I look forward to going up to the Big Smoke for the buzz but then always good to get home to St Ives again to sit in the corner of my favourite pub with a quiet pint & a book.
Yeah that sounds good to me.
Hello jon Mick from hull really enjoyed this episode hope you are well and keep them coming 😊😊😊😊
@@mickclark427 Hi Mick! Thanks mate
Not quite the Orient Express, is it?
Does it make any stops
Just a few, not many. Doesn’t take long at all.
What a cool train
Great to see another video Jon. Must be nice to visit off season
@@nickwalter9630 Thanks 🙏 Glad you enjoyed it 😊
One up on you I have been to Cornwall a lot it's a wonderful place. Even in this day and age you can still find quite coves. It is a very mystical place . You could do no end of video there. Thank you for that as always ❤
@@jaynerichardson3807 Yeah it’s a lovely place and nice friendly people too. One or two more videos to come from Cornwall soon…😉
@JonDoesTravel What ever do for a living what ever it is I'm sure it's interesting. Yes I'd be off like a shot if I had the opportunity I got to go to Hong Kong when my ex husband was working there and was in my element. Wonderful underground system
I’m an English teacher btw.
@JonDoesTravel Oooo a man with brains I just a bear with very little brain.🤣 Good luck to you work hard and retire early I have several friends who have done it.
Nice one Jon, you have sealed my fate to make this trip. Did you use the bus or train from Penzance to St Ives?
Train. They run about every half hour from Penzance. You have to change at St Erth though if I remember rightly.
@@JonDoesTravel Thanks Jon and best of luck with your new venture - I will follow with interest!
Have done this journey, to Truro. The most uncomfortable night of my life!
@@hugovandermeer1566 Certainly wasn’t the most uncomfortable of mine unfortunately…Check out my Bucharest to Chisinău sleeper train video for that 😬
Enjoyed Chisinau to Odessa,not sure if that running now-goes through Tiraspol in Transniestr which only the Russians and a few other countries recognise.I was told that you couldnt get on/off there unless a local so I did a day trip by car/mashrutka(mini van),had to leave by 5pm or register with the police.
Apart from the very disturbing incident at 4am, which for a woman would be terrifying! 🚫✋ Did you get to the bottom of why it happened? But overall good value and a very convenient way to travel to the South West from London if going on holiday or business the night before and avoid a 6 hour drive.
@@larhumba4233 I didn’t get time to ask about it actually (I should have though, definitely).
When you arrive in PZ at that time in the morning, immediately leaving the train station is Sullivans Cafe. Good for a Full English breakfast.
Can confirm. Great breakfast!
Freeman street has some classic boozers mate, just got to go to the top end past all them shitty vape shops & international markets lol
@@SpearOfLughh Thanks
Just discovered your channel
Welcome 😊 Hope you enjoy my videos…
Can you take dogs?
@@matknox5954 No idea..Check the website maybe..
Good to meet you john Paulax
@@paulalaye6428 Have we met?
I personally could not travel on a sleeper train, the beds are way too small and narrow for me. That bed looked like a toddlers bed. I am 6ft and used to sleeping in a double bed alone. Cheap breakfast in a bag too. No way would I pay £124 one way for that. It looked like a tiny prison cell too.
@@Simon-fr4ts To each his/her own…
I think you love trains,nearly £300 to go to Cornwall.Go on a coach,stay in a hotel and have as many showers as you need.
@@JohnHutchinson-bl7nj That’s right, I do love trains. Hate coaches!
Great video thanks so much, balanced opinion
@@ianevans7291 Thank you 🙏
UM probably would not bother.Breakfast looks crap.room security compromised-so whats great about this,must have missed that bit?
Why? M4 - M5 - A30. 305 miles, 5.5 hours, £47.50 versus £134.90 🤷🏼♂️
Free breakfast and shower and no stress
@buzx1313 Ummm....if that journey by car would stress you, I hope nothing serious happens in your life. Each to their own I guess and the channel makes you money, so sort of get it. 👍🏻
I'd love to do this in the Summer when you can watch the early morning sunrise on the way down to Penzance.Was there any explanation from GWR as to how a complete stranger held a card-key enabling him to open your cabin at 4am in the morning? Seems bizarre at the least, and also a complete compromise to personal security (it could have been anyone!). Also, was there a specific reason you didn't book a Return journey ticket...ie was there no cost saving?
@@JoannaLouise200 Yeah summer would be great for that. I didn’t get to ask them about the key card incident (I really should have but I guess I wasn’t awake enough when breakfast was brought to me and that was my only chance on the train before getting off). I think a return ticket would have worked out more expensive than two singles. Check the website yourself just to be sure if you are considering it.
@@JonDoesTravel shame you didn’t follow that through for the sake of single ladies travelling. Would never dare do that now.
