Great video, I did 9 hours of this from Bristol temple meads to Aberdeen a few years ago and now I’d love to do the whole lot. Just find it fascinating for some reason!

Pity they don't make this a sleeper service ... but I guess there wouldn't be enough passengers to warrant this ever hapening. I remember as a kid taking a sleeper train on thre ECML, from Newcastle to Kings Cross.. a service long gone
Thanks very much. There were five changes of crew throughout the journey and each one spotted our journey details in the manifest and came up to say hello.

Fine. Now immediately return from whence you came.
All in a day's work, eh?
Excellent music choice.

I did this in standard as I thought first class would be cheating 😂 it was also over £120 more then standard. I still really enjoyed it though!
lovely film including. Worcester & Birmingham canal at 2min49s.

Love this! What’s the piece of music called?
Thank you, kindly! It's a piece called Pacific 231 and the German orchestra is named in the final credits.
What catering was available on this train?
