Me Driving a Train | GWR
I achieved my childhood dream a few weeks ago and drove a train!
I drove the Class 117 DMU on the Gloucester and Warwickshire Railway between Winchcombe and Cheltenham Racecourse stations, a journey time of around 20 mins! This was as part of their Diesel Driver Experience days that they do a few times a year.
The Class 117 DMU operated on the Great Western Mainline out of Paddington but were also found further afield on the railway network. Coincidently this unit spent the last of its life on the Marston Vale line between Bedford (where I live) and Bletchley before being restored by the GWR.

London Luton to Pisa | EasyJet a320
Просмотров 1 тыс.6 лет назад
Earlier on this month I rather spontaneously booked a flight to Pisa, for only £30! As I booked the flight 2 days in advance the seats I got booked were not window seats so I wasn't planning on recording it. However on the day the plane was switched to an a320 which meant I managed to get a window! The flight time was around 2 hours with an hour delay, arriving at 17:30 in Pisa local time. Apol...

A trip from a place I haven't been to in years, despite it being 40 minutes up the line from where I live! We are on a Class 222 Meridian for this journey going through the Northamptonshire towns of Kettering and Wellingborough before arriving into Bedford. The Midland Mainline is fantastic for its quintessentially English scenery and I do recommend a trip on it! Upcoming Trips: Luton to Pisa w...
Ruislip Lido Railway | Woody Bay - Willow Lawn
Просмотров 3956 лет назад
A more unusual trip report of mine. The other week I thought I would go along to Ruislip to go on the Lido Railway. The railway is the only volunteer run one that is included in the TfL Journey Planner. Because of this it is argued that the stop Haste Hill is the least used station in London. It also boasts the only request station in Greater London. The route runs for 1.5 km around the Lido. U...

The food experience is available for all passengers, however priority is given to those travelling in First Class if the service becomes busy.

How to Drive a Bus in a Storm | Taormina
Просмотров 4797 лет назад
From a recent trip to Sicily we encountered a large storm whilst on a bus en route to Taormina from Catania. We ended up being stuck on the steep twisty roads on the way up to Taormina and the rain began to get heavier and thunder and lightning began. The result of this storm was torrents of water gushing along these roads!

    the question is that there were changes, i.e. transfers, and whether you get off the train when you change, for example at Messina, or the train does the transfer itself and you don't get off the train. or is it a direct train? price ? thank you

    Just a thought, Corbyn probably kept that quiet about travelling first class and enjoying a three course meal. I'd have expected him in standard class eating a sandwich.

  • @Glenn1967ful
    @Glenn1967ful Год назад

    We should have this on Avanti services to Glasgow, instead of the airline style meals in first class and the trolley service for second class. British Rail had its faults, but every long distance train had a dining car at peak times or a buffet car that could be like a pub on rails.

  • @vaslav030547
    @vaslav030547 Год назад

    Not the best video in the world. Obviously not used to First Class. That main course looked as though it had been thrown on the plate from a roof top. It would have gone strait back to the kitchen from me.

    • @devon896
      @devon896 Год назад

      WTF? I thought he did a great job, obviously you're bound to be critical because you've probably never been in first class in your life. Jealousy is a nasty thing.

      The sirloin steak is always superb but of course you've got to pay a supplement, over and above the cost of your fixed-price two or three course meal, to have the pleasure of tucking into one! With Dauphinose Potatoes and a half-bottle of Rioja, of course!

    Tip: when flying into Catania, book a seat on the left/port side of the plane; the flight path takes you on almost a complete circuit around Etna and the views are amazing. Unfortunately, sat on the other side (as in this film), you see absolutely nothing!
