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.
ENJOY - AND DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE!

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...
Corby to Bedford | East Midlands Trains
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.6 лет назад
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...

Просмотров 21 тыс.7 лет назад
Filmed 10/08/17 Great Western Railway's silver dining service, onboard the 18:03 from Plymouth to London Paddington. There are 5 services a day on the GWR network that contain this very special service. 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!

Munich to London and Bedford by Train
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
What unit was that 142?
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.
He wasn't in First Class he travelled in the driving cab over the South Devon Banks to Exeter.
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.
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.
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.
Italian train
Lol....a bus or a water taxi?
So much for the committed socialist Corbyn travelling first class
Bellissima metropolitana!
It's about time they started doing this if the heritage lines want to survive.
They have now built a new shed/workshop
They have now built a new shed/workshop
How do you get to do this
I read that a strange integrated FCE Metro / ATM ticket was set up, but my colleague Don Pesce Vittorio can't find it. Who sells it?
아 그래서 pullman dining car 이 뭐냐고 ㅋㅋ
Lol, labour leader dining in first class
Ma è vuota .... quant’è costata.
La metropolitana più bella d'Italia
Did u stop at Disneyland or just go through slowly?
😘❤ 😍
hi ! It's not possible to take a direct train Paterno - Riposto ?
Full throttle at 1900 rpm! Simple, low revving, Laurel and Hardy days engines!
Potenziate i treni in Sicilia non siamo CITTADINI DI SERIE C SIAMO ITALIANI LA NOTRA ISOLA È UN DONO DI DIO SALUTARE E ACCOGLIENTE
In Sicilia mica fanno così tanto schifo le ferrovie... Le principali funzionano abbastanza bene.
Train managers voice reminds me of Biffa.
Gear handle compares well to a chopper bicycle.
Great video. Cheers for sharing. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍👍👍👍
I miss the HST
Me, too!
It looks so delicious it’s making me hungry
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!
I was told that train service in Sicily isnt as good as bus service. Is this true? I am going to palermo this summer
And now nearly 3 years later even Northern are getting rid of the 319s
grate video
Hey how do we know where to sit in a 2nd class ordinary ticket of a regional train? Also how do we know which is our train?
Yes keep 1st class going Is ok
Did you have to change trains from Pisa to Florence?
sup joe
I have had the lunch service in the Pullman out of Paddington on GWR many times, and every time is lovely 🙂. Every time I go for the steak, it’s lush 👍
The trick is to sit port out, starboard home on that line so you get the stunning view of the sea between Exeter and Newton Abbot
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!
The 🦑
I wish that there was still a train from the Pisa airport to Florence without changing.
Jeremy Corbyn in first class - how very unsocialist of him lol. And VERY different to the virgin train where there was no seats. ... well done for catching the hypocritical tw*t!
1:27 listen to their conversation carefully.
Flight experience the passenger thinks that he is filming her
Flight experience yeah... he should have edited it out...
So sad that they can’t do this in America! It’s shameful really!
We have this in California. It's the Pacific Surfliner train up the coast from San Diego to Santa Barbara. It's lovely and great dining as well.
Torri That’s great! But it’s just a small line, for example we have it in Fl called Sun Rail. It’s not an entire country line. I am talking about long distance trains, not this Amtrash that is subsidized by the government.
Isn't the Silver Meteor still running between Miami and New York?
Or not
Hi Joe. 3 hours, including the return?
Awesome.. subscribed.. please subscribe my channel also..
Did you stop at aspley guise
I am compiling a video of metro systems in europe: I have not had a chance to film this system and was wondering if I could use 30 seconds of your footage? I would be more than happy to list your channel as credits under the description once I upload the video.. :) :)

Qui, cest vrai.
How does it cross the English Channel ?
Tunnel under the sea
through the tunnel en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_Tunnel
It goes under the sea floor in a tunnel.
It has special wings, which are deployed just before it reaches the sea, and enables it to fly over the Channel.
I love the banker lamps, nice touch.
