    Will share...what a glorious day it is today in Cornwall. Sun out, warm and the sea is crystal blue and sparkling

    I am a huge fan of this service. The FGW staff are truly amazing and the journey is beautiful.

    We finished our trip to Dubrovnik by coming home on the Night Train and it was a highlight of our voyage

    As the Dawlish train line re-opens we celebrate with this fab film set aboard the Night Riviera train from Paddington to Penzance, the most romantic way to travel to Cornwall. Who has travelled on the Night Riviera? #loveCornwall ruclips.net/video/Mk5J9aF3KdQ/видео.html

      took this service about 5 years ago. We left Paddington around 1145pm stopped at Reading and then again at Bristol Parkway I think, were we spent god knows how long.
      The accommodation was basic to say the least - a most unedifying experience. Rolled in to Penzance around 7.30am. breakfast was something from the old travellers fayre stockroom, all this for the princely sum of £150 return- never again

    This looks marvellous, a bit ould-fashioned and luxurous. Would love to try that sometimes. I've taken the train to Cornwall, but not at night.

    Oh to move heaven and earth to repair the line. To everyone who has sent me the classic bite out of where I once or twice parked the car when I lived in no 6 Sea Lawn Terrace Dawlish and went to sleep listening to the trains passing every night.
    Wo betide the one who put the glasses back in the kitchen kissing on the shelf to have them rattle for every train!
    Poetic but I have just realised just how shaky the ground is there!!!
    I love trains hence the Steamsearcher.

    When my wife and I used it a few years ago the service was atrocious, pulled into London and the train staff just left everyone, no tea, coffee or anything else.
    I would never ever use this service again and what's portrayed in the above is a pure fairytale and I mean a fairytale.

    I really like the idea including its presentation. The cost seems rather prohibitive, however.

  • @doomexternal9609
    @doomexternal9609 9 лет назад +9

    Would love to but the cost for a family of 4 of travelling would equate to the cost of our normal week long holiday, including accommodation, especially as we would have to travel to London first, costing another £60 or £70. I can see for 1 person, living in London, it may be a fun weekend trip, though.

      Beautiful dreamer,
      Wake unto me
      Starlight and dewdrops
      Are awaiting thee
      Sounds of the rude world
      Heard in the day
      Led by the moonlight
      Have all passed away
      Beautiful dreamer,
      Queen of my song
      List' while I woo thee
      With soft melody
      Gone are the cares of
      Life's busy throng
      Beautiful dreamer
      Awake unto me
      Beautiful dreamer,
      Awake unto me SWEET DREAMS from San Francisco!!!!!!

    Just confirms my idea that the UK needs the Chinese or Elon Musk to build bullet trains to major hubs--- Penzance, London, Edinburgh, Newcastle, York, Bristol, Brighton, Glascow, Aberdeen, Cambridge, Manchester, Inverness, Cardiff, Oxford.... There is no reason you shouldn't be able to go from London to Edinburgh in an hour by bullet train. >
