    The gentleman knows the line so well that he knows when to speed the video up and slow it down., in order to comment about the important features.
    So, he can fit the whole line into a fairly short space of time.

    Enjoyed the video and the scenic views. I'm surprised the route taken is still used. It would be a lot more sensible to take avoid Motherwell and head over vua Bellshill, Shotts and Livingston, especially since that line was recently electrified.

    Great video, but you can see the train arrival at Edinburgh was either shot on different days or at different times or both as at 09:40 the train is seen arriving via platform 19, yet at 09:48 the cab video shows the train arriving via platform 20 and then crossing to platform 2..

      @@LondonNorthEasternRailway I suppose it has to be short to keep the cost down. But as I do not edit videos for a living I may be out of my depth but surely full length, cab view with captions should be cheaper than all the drone footage. But as always the social media team win over the engineers and the like in these type of videos.

      LNER services arrive at Glasgow Central, the busiest train station in Scotland. Inter-city trains connect you hourly to Edinburgh and onwards along the east coast mainline to Newcastle, York and London. Trains to Inverness, Stirling and Aberdeen are available at Edinburgh Waverley station. Visit our website for more information www.lner.co.uk/our-destinations/popular-destinations/trains-to-glasgow/
