I've heard a lot of things about sleeper trains so I wanted to try them out for myself and see if it's really as glamorous as it looks... would you use one?
I've done it several times & seated to fort William too you have to do the one to Cornwall it's much better & cheaper 😅
Yes, just so I can have a little room to myself away from the people drinking and farting.
No, I don't think I would sleep that well either, not to mention the claustrophobia 😵💫
The First Class experience from Paddington to Penzance is probably the better one
And by the way, Gingers are gorgeous and handsome - I’ve dated Ginger guys in the past and they have always been 10/10 every time ❤❤❤❤❤
"Thought I had Baby Reidneer in my bedroom for a minute" hahahahaha
Lolled at tht
Could they not have picked a handsome Scottish hunk with a sexy Scottish speaking voice to do those announcements ❤❤❤❤
Actually laughed out loud watching on my own 😂😂
Can't imagine anything funnier than waiting for a train and seeing Ed Chapman wiz past on the Caledonian whilst shaving in the window 😂😂
it was the fact we made direct eye contact as I went past too 😂
@@EdChapman23 MATE, I'm laughing my back off. We love you Ed, Don't ever change, Sir.
Don’t you mean the gorgeous, handsome and sexy Ed Chapman shaving in the window - I’d happily date this hot handsome hunk in a heartbeat ❤❤❤❤❤
Omg I cried 😂laughing at your shaving in the window. We recently took a sleeper from Nuremberg to Brussels. We pulled in to a random station on the way to Brussels, I woke up, sat up in bed and ate my brekkie in a bag . My son unhooked the blind and there was everyone on the platform watching me in my nightie, croissant crumbs everywhere , bed hair , eating my brekkie…I gave them a little wave ….lol
Half way through Netflix and chill 10:41
Underrated comment
"I'm up" ahaha
Shaving with the blind up at the station gave me a good giggle😂. Thank you Ed
At least it was only his face he was shaving
Just to let you know Carstairs is where they uncouple the trains. Part of the train goes to glasgow, part of the train goes to Edinburgh so they have to split the train and put a new engine on one side to be able to make the journey. From someone who lives in that area and has been on the Cali sleeper.
You’re on no the Lowland Sleeper. I live in Aberdeen so we get the Highland. On that one going down to London we get joined by the Inverness portion of the train.
I wonder how many larger Americans booked that journey not realising with that super thin corridor they could never get to their room? Let alone the restaurant, great sense of humour as always Ed 👍👍
Could 39,100 people just stop what youre doing and get this legend to 100K in the next 5 mins....
Thanks
Showers 2 - 0 Ed.
The sleeper is great in my experience, used it a few times. If you were in a club room; you could have used the club lounge at the stations and on the train.
No, and you're not wrong to expect more. The Caledonian Sleeper is now the biggest railway rip-off in Europe. They justify their prices by saying they're comparable to London and (in season) Edinburgh hotel prices - but there the similarity ends. Even a Continental Breakfast in a hotel would offer cereal, croissants, yogurts, fruit, pastries and much more! The showers are much more spacious and normally run at a reasonable temperature - and you don 't get kicked out before ten, either - meaning that even if you didn't sleep much in the night, you could top-up in the morning! I believe GWR manage to offer a better, more comfortable service using older trains on their London - Penzance service, so CS have no excuse, given the higher demand for their multi-portioned services. I mean, when you consider that b efore the railways were privatised, they were able to sell "spare capacity" at as little as £19 one way - which included travel; you really do have to ask these questions!
“You can just tell from the grass” 😂
Try the Riviera Express for a much better experience. Cheaper, the track is much smoother and quieter, we had a great night's sleep and used the 1st class lounge at Paddington for pre departure snacks and drinks and the lounge at Penzance for a hot shower upon arrival.
Is Ed turning into a train enthusiast? Imagine Ed's description of train spotting 🤣
You should have gone for the seated carriages they are so much more comfy than the beds and only £70 last time i used it... the seats are made super comfy for sleeping.
Watched a few people do this. But I’m prepared to say this will be the best 👌
Why travel on the sleeper to Edinburgh you only travel on it if your going to aberdeen or Inverness where it arrives at a reasonable time. Theres a LNER train from London to Edinburgh it takes 4 hours in the daytime and way cheaper or lumo only £18 when starting price for Caledonian sleeper with room is £100+ might aswell stay in hotel premier inn it cheaper😅
Ed Chapman train video what!?!?!??!
Reminds me of going to Edinburgh from airport by my house (Southend Airport). Flew to Edinburgh for no particular reason, spent the day there then flew back. Didn't get free chocolate on the plane though lol
Booze is how u sleep on a journey like this. The hard stuff 🎉
Correct, although it's a fine balance between just enough to knock you out, and too much that haves you up & down to the toilet all night.
Lovin the videos Ed keep it up mate 🤜👊
Another banger Ed roll on the 100k sub special 🎉🎉
Why didn’t you order 2 breakfasts, you’re in a double room!
Becoming quite the jet setter Ed. Loving the series and the continuous satire 🎉😊
I can only imagine what they guy was thinking when he saw you shaving lol.
Don’t worry mate in a few months, a year you’ll be reviewing 1st class flights to Dubai! From delivering take aways to taking 1st class flights away to foreign lands. The life of a successful RUclipsr
Yet another excellent video Ed, you always make me laugh like feck. Your dry wit is spot on mate. 😂👍.
Watched a few cover this trip, guarantee this will be the funniest 😂
Popped the kettle on, sat down with a brew and Toblerone for more Ginger Yorkshireman content
Once again Ed, another naturally funny video. I love your honesty and you're so genuine and lovely.
Can't wait to see what you do next
Cheers Ed x
Thank you :)
Blimey this channel is doing well if you can afford all these luxuries Ed 👏 pleased for you mate, keep up the entertaining and funny videos.
Thank you :)
I might do this journey to check out all of those sexy Scottish hunks ❤❤❤❤❤
Another banger of a video Ed!! Thank you 😂😂😂❤
Makes me think of the Inside No 9 episode La Couchette
If we had a high speed rail tunnel under the Irish Sea from Holyhead to Dublin Connolly, starting from Hull via Leeds and Manchester Victoria, this would be an excellent way to get the overnight train from Manchester to Dublin or from London to Dublin, in a similar way to the Eurostar Channel Tunnel
Yes Ed smashing out videos lately keep it up 🤙😁
So funny 😂😂 thank you for the laughs 😄
Mackies chocolate is pants, but their crisps are class. Haggis and black pepper are the best. Don't taste like haggis, and aren't made from sheep guts, but they are good 😂
always have such a laugh watching your videos! love u Ed!
Should have given the water in the toilet a taste test. 🤣
Ive seen you recently with ciaran in benidorm and at beckys pub quiz! Your becoming a staple british tuber Ed, really enjoyed seeing you get out there
I think it's aimed more at business people and commuters than tourists, as it gets you in just before the start of the working day! Probably good for meetings, and you don't have to miss any time the day before travelling up.
Simon Wilson did this but both your views on life are so different its brilliant!!!
Class video yet again ed, your channel is the best
Thank you! :)
Perfect timing with that window open mate …on my bucket list to do this 👍🏻😀
You make me laugh. Pure gold. 😂❤
Baby reindeer in my bedroom is fucking unreal 😂
Thanks ed I can show my Mrs this and tell her that we will never be doing it 😂😂
Hahaha
You are my new favourite person to watch, I have watched nearly every video of yours in like 2 days lol
that's commitment
@EdChapman23 oh you replied made my day that haha, I am disabled and I am in bed all day due to my spinal cord and spine so I have a lot of time on my hands
Loaded up YT wondering if there’s an EdChapman video…. It was waiting for me as the first video. 😂 better get to watching then…
😂😂 in my Girona Episode I have a burst but feel like priests are watching me through peep holes 🤣🤣🤣
Oh Ed! You are absolutely hilarious! We love you! 🩷😂😂😂
Cheers Suzy!
Carstairs is home to a hospital for insane criminals 😂. Some seriously dark individuals locked up in Carstairs!
lol name some, im curious
@@everchangingskies I don't know any names off the top of my head, there's people in for cannibalism, murdering prison officers etc, but one story I remember was there were 2 guys who escaped in the 70s or 80s who murdered other inmates a nurse and some police with axes. Dunno how they got the axes, and I only know some details it happened a long time before I was born, I think it's real name is state hospital, but everyone just knows it as Carstairs.
Edit: I looked up the escape, and it was in 1976, by Robert Mone and Thomas McCulloch. If you Google the story you'll see how crazy they were, probably too graphic to comment on RUclips exact details. McCulloch is now free believe it or not!
@@GM-tw4el wow, thanks for the detailed reply. its right up my alley so ill definitely be looking it up properly. cheers
i saw this from the train to Edinburgh just to the east of Carstairs. Had the feel of a Prison with the Barbed Wire
Simon Wilson done this a few months ago but he went from Edinburgh to Euston. Just watched his video again and definitely didn't see him getting free chocolate 😂
special treatment, i'll take that
@@EdChapman23 lol, totally. Question is, did it taste better than your Egyptian KitKat? 😂
Im having a drink because its a rare sunny day in belfast so clicked to watch and clicked like then going to leave it on play in background to keep your engagement up. Its criminal how under represented you are on RUclips!
Ill watch it in full in the next few days but thought id try help your engagement till then.
Grow up. I'm not here to talk politics ya weapon. Go spam BBC.
@@wexfordlad14 it's ironic that loyalists / orange order are hated for being sectarian, and here you are. Attempting to be sectarian to someone raised protestant that lives in an Irish Nationalist area (as I have done almost 2 decades).
Grow up.
You need to go on the orient express and compare the two
Nice one Ed
I’m a member of the Ed Chapman Fan Club
What I would do to be that guy on the station seeing Ed shaving as the train shoots past 😂😂
You are one of the funniest RUclipsrs, Ed! Total legend ✨✨✨✨✨
Time to leave the sleeper train and sleep 😴 me thinks !
I have been on this a few years ago, slept like a log, had breakfast in the buffet cart as we left glasglow towards fort william, one of the best trips I have ever done, watching the low lands of scotland just as winter was closing in, looks amazing
Trek trendy would of made it look like a holiday lol I love your honest approach ❤
Trek Trendy would present the show in a smug "Im richer than you " attitude.
@@simonbaker6962 yep
You should do London to Edinburgh on normal train then stay at a travelodge or similar that includes breakfast and compare prices etc
I feel like you didn't get a breakfast card 'cause they moved you to another room last minute!
You should do at least 30 mins vids, you are a natural born entertainer.
Haha thank you, I will when the video idea allows for it
Are you ever happy 😂
I was when I got off
@@EdChapman23 😂😂😂
Lol this is what the other vloggers don't show you
Legend
Howling at 10:12 🤣🤣
Clickbait thumb nail - I wanted to see the golden carriage in all it's glory
Great video best RUclips who deserves 100k subs at least
On the basis of this video I have just subscribed!
You'll be riding the Caledonian all the way to Edinburgh! A bit ambitious Ed! 😂
Best personality on the internet.
ed well done
maybe sleeping on the bottom bunk would have been better because you wouldnt notice the movement as much
Great video, always wanted to ride it, just to tick it off the list. Seems extravagant but it does well with… rich people who want to get to Scotland but for some reason can’t afford to sacrifice a few hours of the day and instead have to do their sleeping at the same time as their travelling. Or just people who like free fancy chocolates and the classic shave/wave manoeuvre while moving through Euston
Should do a collaboration with Simon Wilson.
Shaving at night is where it’s at! Your natural oil and grease will come out as you sleep! No aftershave required! Practical, efficient and penny smart!
Making big moves
Love your content. But you remind me so much of Matthew Cottle from game on😂
Did you not avail yourself of the exclusive facilities for Caledonian Sleeper guests (free food, free soft drunks/tea/coffee/shower)? I LOVE that train AND the facilities at Euston.
Imagine two people sharing that space!
The sleeper to Penzance is much better.
You can see why people fly to Scotland rather than using the train.
id never get any sleep i’d spend all night looking out the window
1.55 and already liked know its a banger already
Looks like you had a great time 😂
Can't wait for your uploads Ed, ya gonna b a big star m8
Brilliant Ed 😅 'this has gone too far now hasn't it! 😂
You should have gone in the bar, been some great times in there 😂 to be honest I think it’s a bit of a novelty if only going to Edinburgh or Glasgow, however much more useful if going to Aberdeen, Inverness or Fort William which are of course much further North. Also I believe you have access to showers in the first class lounge in the stations.
I've seen a few reviews of this by other RUclipsrs but yours was the most accurate I suspect. Shame that you didn't try out the lounge at Euston beforehand.
yeah I only found out about the lounge on the day I was travelling down so didn't have time in the end
@@EdChapman23 Ah, that's a shame 😕
This was hilarious
Next one? Ferry from Hull to Rotterdam.
Kitsch heaven. Another overnighter, but far more fun.
Nice video Ed, glad you kept the big toes in the cage.
It's not ginger, it's Italian aubern 😂😂 heard that on a film
why u using broccoli for a mic
dude i have GOT to try this
We love that tash! Never shave it 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Great video glad you’ve grown so much Good idea I think for you would be surviving on food from too good to go and promotes a great app
"This has gone far enough hasn't it?"
WELL ED I DONT THINK ITS GONE FAR ENOUGH
dear mr ed,I like Beans
i would have loved the long sausage, my favourite kind of sausage lol
