No, you didn't make a mistake in taking this trip. You relied on the train operators to proivde the advertised service which was the let down. However, you achived what you set out to do within 48 hours, so good on you! It has made me wary though of making a journey reuwirng multiple changes of trains. Your videos have become complusive viewing for me, so all the best for the future. 💗
What an Odyssey! Delays, loud lads and kids, missed connections and nearly the entire length and width of Britain. This was very entertaining and if such a complex trip had gone perfectly it would have been a miracle. It's a trip you'll always remember. Congratulations on 100K.
Reminds me of June 1975 when me and my mate did a week on the trains on an all line rail rover . Just what you have done but 7days . Enjoyed every minute 😀
I once did a similar trip all around Ireland, Mayo, Dublin, Cork, Dundalk, back to Dublin - and a 5 hour coach trip from Dublin to Donegal Town and onto Letterkenny - when I eventually arrived back in Dublin by coach for my overnight coach and sail back to Manchester, I was wrecked
I love to see someone making a video travelling the entire length of the south coast of england from Dover to Penzance by rail without going through London over the space of 2 or 3 days.
Well done Dylan, taking one for the team! This was class, enjoyed this, I would have absolutely hated the loud kids too, I am a stickler for noise on trains and expect silence from everyone!! But you made it and as I have said before, you should be extremely proud at the amazing range of travel across the world and at such a young age too. You have lived 2 lifetimes already!! Keep it up man! 👍✈🚆🚄
Agree. Am I selfish on that as I was once a child. Yup. But I just like to sit in silence watching. Don’t mind quiet chat but it’s the same with those with headphones that still think they have a right to have it as loud as possible so it leaks out and that we should all enjoy it as well. I’d pay a few £ for a total supervised quiet car that means no loud headphones and no children under 12 and that actually removes people that break certain rules.
Travelling from Manchester (preferably Victoria) to Holyhead for the ferry to Dublin on SailRail, I’d love to see more direct services without having to change trains at Chester, Crewe, Bangor or Lladnuo in Wales and ideally, I’d love to travel in first class where possible, preferably in a private compartment - on the ferry, especially overnight, I prefer to get a cabin for the 3 hours crossing if I’m feeling especially tired, otherwise it’s the Club Class Lounge on the Irish Ferries Ulysses ferry
Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers! You’re genuinely the best trip report RUclipsr I’ve seen. You deserve every single one of those subscribers and more! I still can’t believe that you’ve done this LOL. Complete dedication to the content, respect for that.
I love your "Hit & Run" trip across the UK. I am amazed at the sheer number of trains serving both large cities and small villages and towns in the UK ...and of course, I'm jealous because I live in auto-addicted USA.
The boy done well! 😀😀 Congratulations on both achievements: subscriber base and surviving 48hrs in British trains Standard Class Seats. Well edited into a palatable length capturing the flavour of the trip.
Thanks Dylan that was great. You deserve all the praise you get. I wasn't expecting you to start at Berry Brow - a station I used when visiting friends on the road up to Castle Hill! I've used the All-line Rovers myself, they give you complete flexibility without having to worry about missing a pre-booked train and losing money as a result. I remember once completely altering my plans on Shrewsbury station when a train I wanted was cancelled. I was surprised you hadn't done that for this trip. Although I live in Scotland I've never used the Caley Kipper as it has a bad reputation for reliability, unlike the older sleepers which I used to use quite happily. £7 a pint for beer in London - and recently a Londoner had the nerve to complain to me about a bar in the Highlands charging £5! What a cheek! I've no idea what monetised RUclipsrs earn, but you've earned it with this one Dylan. Well done.
Best video ever! Glad you got it in the can before winter. Been waiting to see you hitting the Replacement Bus Service, LOL. The narration has made the channel blow up along with the facetime. You are funny with just a neat bit of sarcasm and a very expressive face. Faces are my business. Keep it up son and 200k is next! Congrats!
Congrats on 100k subscribers! I spend a lot of my time on trains as I work for LNER so typically spend 7 to 8 hours per day working on them but I couldn't do what you did! Excellent video :)
Wow Dylan, this was quite a challange!! I was very impressed that you kept filming for 48 hours. I can imagine that you were quit exhausted at he end. Well done mate and congrats of reaching 100.000 subscribers, you deserve it!!! Keep on going!!
Well done Dylan great to see you get the rewards for your hard work. Thoroughly enjoyed all the destinations and rides you've taken us the viewer on throughout the UK and Europe.
Wow what a journey! Congrats on 100K subs! So glad that you decided to start narrating your videos, always very well done! Well-deserved to reach this milestone to celebrate your great content!
Congrats on 100,000 subscribers. I've been a fan of your videos for a long time and you really deserve the success you've had with this channel! Thank you for letting us come along on your trips. Personally, I look forward to every one of your videos. A lot of us wouldn't be able to experience the journeys you take. It is much appreciated. Thanks again!!
Congratulations, Well Done on achieving 100K Subscribers, Dylan. Oish, what a way to celebrate your milestone, taking a 48 hour runabout through England and Scotland. Being young helped get you through the journey. The delays were unfortunate unforseen hiccups in your plans, except for oversleeping. Keep up the good work, Lad. Slàinte Mhath🏴
This was fun . I decided to put this itinerary into a spreadsheet. I counted 19 trains and 8 different operators . The total mileage is estimated at 1908 miles. GWR 2 trains 346.875 miles LNER 2 trains 925.9125 miles Caledonian Sleeper 1 train 400.375 miles Scotrail 2 trains 283.15 miles Northern railway total 4 trains 38.4375 miles Transpennine express total 2 trains 42.55 miles LNWR total 2 trains 197.85 miles Greater Anglia 4 trains 19.725 miles
Hello Dylan, since the pandemic I have been watching your videos and thanks to you I have discovered many trains throughout the world and know how comfortable they are and what they offer in case one day I go to one of those countries. I wanted to propose a TOP 5 of all the trains you have taken in these 48 hours in second class, which is the TOP 5 of the best second class according to comfort, train vibrations etc etc, and for the quality price, thanks and I really enjoyed this video a lot. CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 100,000 SUBS, I hope you reach 500,000 hahahaha.
Congrats on a epic trip! Truly an Odyssey with all the obstacles. I sympathize with the loud people. I go through that nearly every time I'm on my bus to/from college. It can get excruciating!
Congratulations, Dylan. First of all congratulations on your 100,000 subscribers. Second of all congratulations on this wonderful and extraordinary video, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. I must tell you Dylan that you are now my idol and my hero. You’ve done something I would like to have done, but haven’t been able: spend 48 hours on different trains. In my various trips in London and the UK, I could not have used that time for this extraordinary adventure. And in my country, Argentina, where we used to have a very wide railway network, most of it has disappeared. However, while in London my last time, in 1985, I did a station tour. In one of two days. I visited most railway terminal stations: Victoria, Waterloo, London Bridge (which is not real a terminal), Liverpool Street, Kings Cross, St. Pancras, Euston, and Paddington. I am sure I have missed one or two. Most of the stations I had used in my different. Thanks again, Dylan, congratulations and blessings. And see you again next time. William Grant (Willie) from Buenos Aires Argentina.
Congratulations Dylan!!! Thankyou for sharing your epic journey. I particularly like this one I’ll be watching it a few more times over the weekend. Everyone hit that like button 👍🏻… One of the best milestone videos I’ve seen in recent years. 100k subs is well deserved of such a great channel. Keep the awesome videos coming… props Dylan
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. It was realistic and showed rail travel for what it really is sometimes. I like this more relaxed style you are developing and it made me smile quite a few times as have been there too! Keep it up, brilliant.
Brilliant video! Reminds me of the trips I did down South this year leaving home on Monday morning and getting back on Wednesday night. That would consist of visiting two cities linked to London on the rail and two nights on the Night Riviera (seating area) visiting somewhere new in Devon or Cornwall. I feel you when you say it’s tiring but god it’s an experience and great fun being out on the rail!
Wow! I sure as hell wouldn't want to do that trip. I'm glad you survived in one piece. Anytime I do long-distance trains here in the states, I always book a sleeper. It makes all of the difference in the world, as you know all so well.
Congratulations, brilliant job! Also when you get your playbutton, enjoy it! You definitely earned it, you put in the hard work; your videos are amazing and you put in crazy amounts of work and dedication, you earned 100K!
Well done, Dylan. What an epic. You did well to cope with all the delays and changes. The whole video brought back lots of memories of trips I have made, though I've not done Stratford to Meridian Water. I expect I will one day. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations on your Hundred Thousand Subscribers. This was a brilliant video to watch. Here to 200,000 . Thank you for all your entertaining videos
VERY Well done - both on the 100,000 subscribers; and the 48-hour ride. Compare if you will the bright happy face at the start of the video with the travel-weary knackered one at the end! You should have allowed yourself at least one standard sleeper cabin - we'd not have minded. But you'll know next time - as more laid-back videos would be nice, every now and then... Interesting that they feel the need to put notices on the backs of the tip-up seats on your Liverpool Street to Stratford train - informing us that they're not in use when they're in that state, isn't it? And there was me thinking they might be occupied by really small people... And, Aberdeen station... just when will they leave that place alone, I wonder? Thanks for staying awake to film Kintore, too. You'll have Inverness Airport next time you're up that way - and maybe Reston and East Linton - and maybe even direct from Huddersfield at that; seeing as ScotRail is doing its best to forget about its plans for an Edinburgh to Berwick local service...?!! There's an idea for you: everywhere you can get a direct train from Huddersfield to...
Congratulations Dylan on reaching the great milestone of subscriptions 🤩👍🏽 What a great video...a great tour of the UK 😀🇬🇧👍🏽 I used to do this in the 1980’s with BR in my youth and it never, ever went to plan, but it was great fun all the same 😀👍🏽🎉 Thank you for keeping us all entertained with your well presented video’s that are always interesting to watch 👀😎👍🏽 Keep those trip videos coming - we all love them 🤩👍🏽🎉🎉
Well done Dylan. Great achievement. Good video too. I'd like to try it myself one day. It's never going to go exactly to plan. But that's where the fun is! I'll keep watching, every week.
Thanks for a great video - I really enjoyed it, although I'm not sure what the railway 'Social Media Team' would make of it. The delights of train travel in the UK! By the way, 'Penistone' for me always evokes the Woodhead Line. Sorry for showing my age.
Both trains I requested during your q&a have been reviewed in one video! Really shows you listen to your fans keep up the amazing content! 👏 Congrats on 100k subs you really deserve it!
Congratulations on your 100,000 subscriber, no mean feat ! many thanks for all your hard work to bring us so many interesting films. Good luck for the future.
Congratulations Dylan, another superb video with lots of interesting content. You were unfortunately forced to take an alternative route for the challenge, but you succeeded and enjoyed the process over the tiredness, making something special to celebrate your 100K subscriber milestone. Not silly at all!
What an epic adventure. Well done Dylan. I am sure your channel will grow and grow as I and I am sure many others love what you do. It is so much nicer now that you talk on the epsiodes.
Congratulations on 100K subs, Dylan! It’s one thing to travel around the country using only rail, but it’s another animal to do it in 48 hours! Well done!
Thanks for taking us along on quite the adventure. You can never assume a trip will exactly to plan, especially when you make so short connection times. But I'm glad you were able to complete it without fully losing your mind! One idea I've had for a trip that you could do for another video is a "first departing train" trip. You'd probably want to get that rover card you mentioned, but you try to get on the next departing train from the station. You'd have to set some guidelines to follow (i.e., if you need to eat, then you can catch the first train to leave after you are done, only get off at major stations to make sure you're not stuck at an hour-stopping station), but it'd be interesting to see where you'd end up. I did something similar to this in Italy (for only 4 hours and to smaller stations) and I had a blast seeing new places.
A marathon journey, and I could feel your frustration and exhaustion as the plan began to unravel. My wife and I took VIA Rail Canada's "The Ocean" from Montreal to Halifax in coach, back in 1983, and I envy those people who can actually sleep in coach seats on long-distance trains. I was a zombie for the following 24 hours until I managed to get a real night of sleep in a stationary bed.
Congratulations on the amazing milestone Dylan and for the epic journey you took to mark the occasion - it made for an enjoyable video. Too bad you missed out on seeing Felix and Bolt - perhaps you need to bring along a sachet of Felix catfood, which I read in Felix's biography is her favaourite! Thanks for pointing out Liverpool South Parkway also has a resident cat!
Rather surprised that there wasn't any Class 777s along the sidings at Crewe, since they have been storing them there before they head to Merseyrail's depots since 2020. Even so, they still aren't in service to this day, but should be in operation by the 2nd quarter of this year. Anyways, that being said, I have to say a big congratulations to hitting 100k subscribers. It's rather hard to find someone documenting the UKs railway journeys, and when I came across your channel I couldn't stop watching. Each trip report is unique with the views, trains, and Great British humour. You deserve every subscriber, and I can't wait to see your channel continue to grow with the amazing content you produce.
Well done for managing this test of endurance! Hats off to you, Dylan. Berry Brow! Well, I stayed at the Berry Brow Hotel in the Isle of Wight in the late 60s and here the nemw popped up and the memoried=s flooded back. Have a rest before the next trip and I look forward to many more. Thank you very much indeed.
Haha, bet that sleep you got (after the video) was the best night sleep you had in ages! :p Congrats on hitting 100,000 subscribers, and what a rollercoaster that was! I'm also very relieved and happy to know that you didn't get the abysmal Class 22x trains in any way! Also, didn't know about that 7 day rover ticket - though note that there are some time restrictions on it.
2:17 Many years ago, I had a similar problem when travelling from Athlone and Mullingar on the Sligo line via Maynooth to Dublin Connolly, even though I had a tight connection from Dublin Hueston to Thurles - at Clonsilla, the train terminated and I was “peppering” as I knew that the traffic along Dublin’s Quays is notoriously busy at that time of day - in more recent times, this problem has been resolved with the use of the Phoneix Park Tunnel via Liffey Junction for passenger/commuter services
Loved this video, have subscribed because of this video, loved the unpredictability, the multiple aspects & the challenge aspect of it, would love to see more videos like this in the future! Cheers
Well done that man! Being Huddersfield born and bred myself I can perfectly understand why you embarked on a 48 hour journey from Huddersfield to get to Huddersfield!
Wow, you are a glutton for punishment! Thank you for goting through all that for us! I can't wait to see w hat you'll do when you hit 200,00! Congratulations on your milestone! And thank you for all your videos!
Great video as always. I watched a few of your videos with subtitles back and the voice over videos are so much more enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing what is to come!
Fantastic content. Thank you for taking us along with you, enjoyed every second. Please continue sharing your travels it's a weekly highlight for me. Miss that wonderful British weather !!
Greetings from St. Thomas Ontario railway capital of Canada (I think not) most enjoyable video I have subscribed to yourChannel. I was born in Chingford Essex so I know Liverpool Street very well. Keep up the good work!
A huge congrats to your channel, it's always a treat to see your vids from wherever part of the world you are! Here's to more railway trips in the not too distant future!
Well done on reaching 100,000 subscribers Dylan and for finding the stamina to do such a trip like that. I stumbled across your channel and videos during the pandemic and am supremely glad I did so as a few of the trains and trips you have reviewed in previous videos I will be sampling myself in May.
Congratulations on the 100,000. I agree with other commenters here that making an unobtrusive verbal commentary is good. Emphasis on unobtrusive, because far too many folk making videos turn them into showcases for themselves. So in this one you got it about right. On several occasions I wondered if an historical comment or two might be good, such as "Paddington - designed by Brunel and opened in 1854", or as you left Birmingham, a comment on the building site for HS2 and the original London and Birmingham Railway terminus building that will be incorporated in it. Whether such things would be best spoken or in an on-screen text-scroll I'm not sure. Thanks. I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Your expedition is the kind of thing I would have done when I was your age, which is now around 50 years ago. Cheers, from Cornwall.
Great trip in the 80s I used to travel on the class 37s in Scotland going up on a Sunday night and staying on until Friday on the internal overnights Enjoyed your vlog and look forward to watching many more
Thank you Dylan. Another enjoyable trip. It reminds me of my train spotting adventures in the 80s. I’d also spend days away, travelling the country using rail rover tickets. Surviving on cans of coke, bad sandwiches from the station buffets, and sticking 10p pieces into the Space Invader machines. Do you actually record loco / rolling stock numbers by the way, or does that not interest you?
Congrats on 100.00 Dylan! And well done on completing such a tiring trip! Defo gave me a chuckle, seeing operators fail at the simplest of things and then Caledonian sleeper throwing you on to a f'ing coach?? Was an experience just watching this lol. Looking forward to the future videos!
Great to see you're taking this into a great passion and showing it for us! Here's to many more! I'd be flat out exhausted after 5 hours, could never imagine doing this 😂
30 minute transfer at Edinburgh after coming off the Inverness train, you are a braver man than me! Have been delayed up and down the Highland line by all manor of things over the years from snow to broken windscreen wipers.
Great work Dylan! Very enjoyable video, and amusing too. Hope that long went down well, what a cost. Keep up the good work, and yeah for me change in format was good. M.
Awesome stamina and your usual stunning camera work. I look forward to every Monday and Friday, will be using a Freedom of the North West 4 in 8 ticket next week as I've just retired and will look forward to Berry Brow. Keep up the good work!
CONGRATULATIONS Dylan on reaching 100k! I subscribed very early on; can't believe it's been over two years now. 🎉🍾🎊😊 I thoroughly loved this video! Probably not so much fun for you but I enjoyed it. BTW, I love those slam doors on the GWR in Exeter. Something so nostalgic about them. Hope you got right to bed after this trip and caught up on your much-needed sleep. 😴 Have a great weekend and see you next week!
No, you didn't make a mistake in taking this trip. You relied on the train operators to proivde the advertised service which was the let down. However, you achived what you set out to do within 48 hours, so good on you! It has made me wary though of making a journey reuwirng multiple changes of trains.

"No, you didn't make a mistake in taking this trip. You relied on the train operators" That was the mistake :DDD
Do a review on the class 805 evero

Omw, Hi Vex
Congratulations on 100k Dylan.
Complaining at the price of a pint in London is pretty much our national sport in Yorkshire. Was good to see.
I love your "Hit & Run" trip across the UK. I am amazed at the sheer number of trains serving both large cities and small villages and towns in the UK ...and of course, I'm jealous because I live in auto-addicted USA.

I got seasick😆😁😄😄😃😀😚😙😉thanks for your bravery and persistence...I got to see a lot of different trains,so there's that. Sleep well.
Thanks Dylan that was great. You deserve all the praise you get. I wasn't expecting you to start at Berry Brow - a station I used when visiting friends on the road up to Castle Hill!

Congrats man, knew you'd get there eventually, You'll continue to grow from here, this is just the start of your channel :)
Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers. I always enjoy your videos. They take me away from the everyday, and to places that I will probably never see.

Well done on 100,000 subscribers.
That was an epic journey. It made for awesome viewing. Thank you.
Congrats on 100k Dylan! 🎉 Loved this video and would love to see more laid-back style videos in future
Well done Dylan great to see you get the rewards for your hard work. Thoroughly enjoyed all the destinations and rides you've taken us the viewer on throughout the UK and Europe.
Fairplay Dylan, that was a trip and a half. I'm amazed you made it without killing anyone. Well done for making it to 100,000
Wow what a journey! Congrats on 100K subs! So glad that you decided to start narrating your videos, always very well done! Well-deserved to reach this milestone to celebrate your great content!

This was fun . I decided to put this itinerary into a spreadsheet.
I counted 19 trains and 8 different operators .
The total mileage is estimated at 1908 miles.
GWR 2 trains 346.875 miles
LNER 2 trains 925.9125 miles
Caledonian Sleeper 1 train 400.375 miles
Scotrail 2 trains 283.15 miles

Transpennine express total 2 trains 42.55 miles
LNWR total 2 trains 197.85 miles
Greater Anglia 4 trains 19.725 miles

Bless you my darling! That wasn't quite the Celebration you had planned. But we enjoyed the video very much. Let's do it again at 200,000! 😉
Yes! More of these, please.
Congratulations on 100,000 subs. I've been one for a long time now.
Congrats on a epic trip! Truly an Odyssey with all the obstacles.
I sympathize with the loud people. I go through that nearly every time I'm on my bus to/from college. It can get excruciating!
Congratulations, Dylan. First of all congratulations on your 100,000 subscribers. Second of all congratulations on this wonderful and extraordinary video, which I have thoroughly enjoyed.

when you were headed North from London I could hear the theme from Get Carter!
Great video! I loved seeing the countryside!
Wow! I sure as hell wouldn't want to do that trip. I'm glad you survived in one piece. Anytime I do long-distance trains here in the states, I always book a sleeper. It makes all of the difference in the world, as you know all so well.
Thanks for the videos Dylan man and congratulations. Well deserved. Don't know how you do it but mostly looks like fun.
Congratulations, brilliant job! Also when you get your playbutton, enjoy it! You definitely earned it, you put in the hard work; your videos are amazing and you put in crazy amounts of work and dedication, you earned 100K!
35:20 classic! Congrats Dylan, well done mate!
Well done, Dylan. What an epic. You did well to cope with all the delays and changes. The whole video brought back lots of memories of trips I have made, though I've not done Stratford to Meridian Water. I expect I will one day. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations on your Hundred Thousand Subscribers. This was a brilliant video to watch. Here to 200,000 . Thank you for all your entertaining videos
VERY Well done - both on the 100,000 subscribers; and the 48-hour ride. Compare if you will the bright happy face at the start of the video with the travel-weary knackered one at the end! You should have allowed yourself at least one standard sleeper cabin - we'd not have minded. But you'll know next time - as more laid-back videos would be nice, every now and then... Interesting that they feel the need to put notices on the backs of the tip-up seats on your Liverpool Street to Stratford train - informing us that they're not in use when they're in that state, isn't it? And there was me thinking they might be occupied by really small people... And, Aberdeen station... just when will they leave that place alone, I wonder? Thanks for staying awake to film Kintore, too. You'll have Inverness Airport next time you're up that way - and maybe Reston and East Linton - and maybe even direct from Huddersfield at that; seeing as ScotRail is doing its best to forget about its plans for an Edinburgh to Berwick local service...?!! There's an idea for you: everywhere you can get a direct train from Huddersfield to...
Congratulations Dylan on reaching the great milestone of subscriptions 🤩👍🏽 What a great video...a great tour of the UK 😀🇬🇧👍🏽 I used to do this in the 1980’s with BR in my youth and it never, ever went to plan, but it was great fun all the same 😀👍🏽🎉 Thank you for keeping us all entertained with your well presented video’s that are always interesting to watch 👀😎👍🏽 Keep those trip videos coming - we all love them 🤩👍🏽🎉🎉
Absolutely amazing, I love your videos, every single one, but this was just amazing. Congratulations on your 100,000 subscribers.
Well done Dylan. Great achievement. Good video too. I'd like to try it myself one day. It's never going to go exactly to plan. But that's where the fun is! I'll keep watching, every week.
10 out of 10, Dylan, for effort and endurance! Enjoyed that a lot.
Same I did
Well done Dylan! Brilliant video. And congratulations again on reaching 100k subscribers too
Thanks for a great video - I really enjoyed it, although I'm not sure what the railway 'Social Media Team' would make of it. The delights of train travel in the UK! By the way, 'Penistone' for me always evokes the Woodhead Line. Sorry for showing my age.
Both trains I requested during your q&a have been reviewed in one video! Really shows you listen to your fans keep up the amazing content! 👏 Congrats on 100k subs you really deserve it!
Not to discredit Dylan, but there were not really any reviews in this video lol
Congrats on 100k subs! 🎉🥳🎊 You deserve it!
The best laid plans of mice and men. You did a great job my friend. Great video and the patience of Jobe.
Congratulations on your 100,000 subscriber, no mean feat ! many thanks for all your hard work to bring us so many interesting films. Good luck for the future.
Well done, fantastic. Look how far you have come in such a short time. Congrats on 100K
Congratulations Dylan, another superb video with lots of interesting content. You were unfortunately forced to take an alternative route for the challenge, but you succeeded and enjoyed the process over the tiredness, making something special to celebrate your 100K subscriber milestone. Not silly at all!
Thanks Dylan. You're one of a kind. It's always enjoyable to travel along with you. Proud to be a subscriber and patron :)
What an epic adventure. Well done Dylan. I am sure your channel will grow and grow as I and I am sure many others love what you do. It is so much nicer now that you talk on the epsiodes.
I would LOVE to see more videos like this! Congratulations on 100K subscribers, can't wait to see more trip reports.
Congratulations on 100K subs, Dylan! It’s one thing to travel around the country using only rail, but it’s another animal to do it in 48 hours! Well done!
Thanks for taking us along on quite the adventure. You can never assume a trip will exactly to plan, especially when you make so short connection times. But I'm glad you were able to complete it without fully losing your mind!
One idea I've had for a trip that you could do for another video is a "first departing train" trip. You'd probably want to get that rover card you mentioned, but you try to get on the next departing train from the station. You'd have to set some guidelines to follow (i.e., if you need to eat, then you can catch the first train to leave after you are done, only get off at major stations to make sure you're not stuck at an hour-stopping station), but it'd be interesting to see where you'd end up. I did something similar to this in Italy (for only 4 hours and to smaller stations) and I had a blast seeing new places.
Congrats!! 😆 That was grueling!! 😂 Glad you didn’t give up!
A marathon journey, and I could feel your frustration and exhaustion as the plan began to unravel. My wife and I took VIA Rail Canada's "The Ocean" from Montreal to Halifax in coach, back in 1983, and I envy those people who can actually sleep in coach seats on long-distance trains. I was a zombie for the following 24 hours until I managed to get a real night of sleep in a stationary bed.
Congratulations on the amazing milestone Dylan and for the epic journey you took to mark the occasion - it made for an enjoyable video. Too bad you missed out on seeing Felix and Bolt - perhaps you need to bring along a sachet of Felix catfood, which I read in Felix's biography is her favaourite! Thanks for pointing out Liverpool South Parkway also has a resident cat!
Rather surprised that there wasn't any Class 777s along the sidings at Crewe, since they have been storing them there before they head to Merseyrail's depots since 2020. Even so, they still aren't in service to this day, but should be in operation by the 2nd quarter of this year. Anyways, that being said, I have to say a big congratulations to hitting 100k subscribers. It's rather hard to find someone documenting the UKs railway journeys, and when I came across your channel I couldn't stop watching. Each trip report is unique with the views, trains, and Great British humour. You deserve every subscriber, and I can't wait to see your channel continue to grow with the amazing content you produce.
Really entertaining! Your rail system is so complex. Thanks for the adventure.
Well done for managing this test of endurance! Hats off to you, Dylan. Berry Brow! Well, I stayed at the Berry Brow Hotel in the Isle of Wight in the late 60s and here the nemw popped up and the memoried=s flooded back. Have a rest before the next trip and I look forward to many more. Thank you very much indeed.
Haha, bet that sleep you got (after the video) was the best night sleep you had in ages! :p
Congrats on hitting 100,000 subscribers, and what a rollercoaster that was! I'm also very relieved and happy to know that you didn't get the abysmal Class 22x trains in any way!
Also, didn't know about that 7 day rover ticket - though note that there are some time restrictions on it.
Congratulations on 100 K! That was exhausting to watch!
Congratulations Dylan on your 48 hour train journey. Fantastic well done!!
2:17 Many years ago, I had a similar problem when travelling from Athlone and Mullingar on the Sligo line via Maynooth to Dublin Connolly, even though I had a tight connection from Dublin Hueston to Thurles - at Clonsilla, the train terminated and I was “peppering” as I knew that the traffic along Dublin’s Quays is notoriously busy at that time of day - in more recent times, this problem has been resolved with the use of the Phoneix Park Tunnel via Liffey Junction for passenger/commuter services
I remember that passcom pull. Can't believe you were doing 48 hours on trains that day! Great video Dylan!
Loved this video, have subscribed because of this video, loved the unpredictability, the multiple aspects & the challenge aspect of it, would love to see more videos like this in the future! Cheers
Well done that man! Being Huddersfield born and bred myself I can perfectly understand why you embarked on a 48 hour journey from Huddersfield to get to Huddersfield!
Wow, you are a glutton for punishment! Thank you for goting through all that for us! I can't wait to see w hat you'll do when you hit 200,00! Congratulations on your milestone! And thank you for all your videos!
Great video as always. I watched a few of your videos with subtitles back and the voice over videos are so much more enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing what is to come!
Fantastic content. Thank you for taking us along with you, enjoyed every second. Please continue sharing your travels it's a weekly highlight for me. Miss that wonderful British weather !!
Greetings from St. Thomas Ontario railway capital of Canada (I think not) most enjoyable video I have subscribed to yourChannel. I was born in Chingford Essex so I know Liverpool Street very well. Keep up the good work!
Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers. Love the videos!
A huge congrats to your channel, it's always a treat to see your vids from wherever part of the world you are! Here's to more railway trips in the not too distant future!
Congratulations on 100k subscribers! Wow! I loved this video I’m all for having more of this type of “laid back” trips.
Well done on reaching 100,000 subscribers Dylan and for finding the stamina to do such a trip like that. I stumbled across your channel and videos during the pandemic and am supremely glad I did so as a few of the trains and trips you have reviewed in previous videos I will be sampling myself in May.
Congratulations on the 100,000.
I agree with other commenters here that making an unobtrusive verbal commentary is good. Emphasis on unobtrusive, because far too many folk making videos turn them into showcases for themselves. So in this one you got it about right.
On several occasions I wondered if an historical comment or two might be good, such as "Paddington - designed by Brunel and opened in 1854", or as you left Birmingham, a comment on the building site for HS2 and the original London and Birmingham Railway terminus building that will be incorporated in it. Whether such things would be best spoken or in an on-screen text-scroll I'm not sure.
Thanks. I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Your expedition is the kind of thing I would have done when I was your age, which is now around 50 years ago. Cheers, from Cornwall.
Congratulations, Dylan. I always enjoy your videos. All the best.
Congratulations!! i really enjoy your videos. that was an complete Odyssey but it worth it, i really enjy and love the video
Great trip in the 80s I used to travel on the class 37s in Scotland going up on a Sunday night and staying on until Friday on the internal overnights
Enjoyed your vlog and look forward to watching many more
Thank you Dylan. Another enjoyable trip. It reminds me of my train spotting adventures in the 80s. I’d also spend days away, travelling the country using rail rover tickets. Surviving on cans of coke, bad sandwiches from the station buffets, and sticking 10p pieces into the Space Invader machines.
Do you actually record loco / rolling stock numbers by the way, or does that not interest you?
You are a braver man than me Dylan! Thanks for this, such a great channel
Epic and Well done on your 100k subs.
Congratulations on a 100k love this laid back video more please.❤
Congrats on 100.00 Dylan! And well done on completing such a tiring trip! Defo gave me a chuckle, seeing operators fail at the simplest of things and then Caledonian sleeper throwing you on to a f'ing coach?? Was an experience just watching this lol. Looking forward to the future videos!
Great to see you're taking this into a great passion and showing it for us! Here's to many more! I'd be flat out exhausted after 5 hours, could never imagine doing this 😂
Enjoyed that Dylan! Felt your pain with loud kids and screaming babies…. You looked knackered at the end 😂
30 minute transfer at Edinburgh after coming off the Inverness train, you are a braver man than me! Have been delayed up and down the Highland line by all manor of things over the years from snow to broken windscreen wipers.
this was an amazing video, best one you have ever done, i watched the entire video end to end!
Two minutes in and you have made me laugh as much as I have on all your previous clips combined.
Great work Dylan! Very enjoyable video, and amusing too. Hope that long went down well, what a cost. Keep up the good work, and yeah for me change in format was good. M.
Some journey, fantastic, you showed the railway off brilliantly, super scenery on the Penistone Line
Awesome stamina and your usual stunning camera work. I look forward to every Monday and Friday, will be using a Freedom of the North West 4 in 8 ticket next week as I've just retired and will look forward to Berry Brow. Keep up the good work!
Wow! I've not watched this yet but I know it's going to be good! Congrats on the 100k subscribers! (I know I'm one of them.)
Hello Dylan what a brilliant video keep up the good work looking forward to your next trip report
CONGRATULATIONS Dylan on reaching 100k! I subscribed very early on; can't believe it's been over two years now. 🎉🍾🎊😊
I thoroughly loved this video! Probably not so much fun for you but I enjoyed it. BTW, I love those slam doors on the GWR in Exeter. Something so nostalgic about them.
Hope you got right to bed after this trip and caught up on your much-needed sleep. 😴
Have a great weekend and see you next week!
Thanks for your support! Glad you enjoyed the video!
