I must confess, despite being a professional railwayman, I never have understood the decisions on runing two car trains everywhere up north when they are always full to standing. Down South, the majority of TOCs now run at least 8 cars everywhere. My regular service on Thameslink is a 12 car. It has been like that up north for decades. I remember trips on old DMUs of the 1980s, which were two car, always packed, occasionally a three car would turn up. Spent many a trip travelling from Cleethorpes to Doncaster in a rammed two car DMU. Watching a rush hour service at Leeds was always good for seeing full trains. At least you managed to get a seat on your journey. Priority seats are great for long legged giants like myself. Great Vlog, not sure about the ending though. Ray xx
Hi Ray, as a now retired signalman, I agree with your comments. I do wonder if T.F.W. are trying to discourage folks from using their trains. For the last few weeks they have seen fit to run buses all the way from Shrewsbury to Machynlleth, a. 2 hour journey, great for people with luggage, pushchairs etc. the old railway managers must be turning in their graves. 😮
@@geoffbrookes4594 as a general rule, I believe that we shouldn't ascribe something to malice when it can be adequately ascribed to incompetence. And while I don't like it, I'm not sure what else they should have done when Network Rail shuts down the line for 16 days... I don't like buses as much as the next railway fan, but I'd hate it even more if I'd had to change vehicles from train to bus back to rail for short stretches, especially with luggage.
@@DavidPeacock1972 I don't think someone will argue that London and the Southeast don't deserve most investment, just for being the most populous and having some of the worst traffic issues, but other regions shouldn't be so utterly disregarded. Almost all projects outside of the London bubble are getting postponed indefinitely or completely axed, while almost none in London are. That's too much favouritism.
Shame that it was a 2 coach train between Manchester and Cardiff while the Crewe to Chester Shuttle is 3 coaches! Plus didn't help that it was the May Bank Holiday. Great video G and cannot wait for the other half (which I didn't realise there was a 'next week' until I saw it in the corner because the editing was epic)
Hi G, those yellow flowers you like are a plant called Rapeseed. A commercial crop commonly known as Oil seed Rape as the seeds are used to produce vegetable cooking oil, hence the name oil seed. Now you know 👍.
Rapeseed oil is also used a lot in bio-diesel to make them more 'green'. Although I'm environmentally inclined, that's a lot of hogwash, if you ask me.
Hi G, great vlog again, someone in TfW's planning dept. needs a kick up the arse, 2 coaches is disgusting, never been to Cardiff must put it on my bucket list it looks superb. The hotel looks nice as well. The scenery on the route was sublime and beautiful, I think that the 'yellow' fields are sunflowers. Looking forward to part 2, stay safe u 2
Great Video, glad to see you both back in Wales, if you filmed this last week I was just up the coast in Saundersfoot on my holibobs, kindest of regards Mark-Edwyn. 🚂🚃🚃
Hi G, I’m glad you highlighted the over crowded 150 unit. This train and many others on this route run full and standing day after day. Transport for Wales are a joke, they should not be running anything less than 3 coaches on the main Cardiff - Manchester route, they could at least tag a 153 unit onto the 150…they have enough of them….but no, they are happy to treat passengers like cattle 🐄….actually, they’d get done if they transported animals like that. Nice one. x
Great vlog G I still remember last year’s vlog on your trip down to Cardiff. TFW putting a 2 car 150 to Cardiff is a joke. They need to put more carriages on, just a heads up if you go to Cardiff again From Crewe the 1510 service is a loco Hauled set with loads more seating and 4 carriages. The hotel looks cool and great to see Lucy with you! I enjoyed watching as always.
Great vlog G i need to go to Cardiff i haven't been for ages last time I went there were Pacers and HST'S everywhere and no overhead wires shame you had the 150 all that way hopefully you have a better train on your return ❤❤
I've stayed twice in Cardiff and both times was at the Premier Inn Cardiff Central hotel which in part of Helmont House which was used for the Doctor Who episode Partners In Crime and that same episode was filmed on the road outside the hotel Churchill Way
I’ve been on trains that are so busy with lots of people and no seats available. But more people are using trains and the more people use trains means that there is no chance of getting a seat. Especially in rush hour. Even when I sometimes use Greater Anglia and c2c it’s always as packed.
Great video. Shame to have that 150 2 coach set all the way to Cardiff. As a new-ish subscriber, where did "squishy babies" and knickers on yer head come from? 😂 Thanks, Chris. ps nice shot of the APT👍
The best view on the entire Crewe to Cardiff route is of Stokesay Castle between Craven Arms and Ludlow stations. It's that stone and timber-framed fortified manor house you can see from the train quite clearly. I'll try and go there and do a short film of it one day, if I get the chance.
Again, awesome vlog. Would love to visit the UK at one point. If you & lucy plan to visit the US, please ride Amtrak & many of the Commuter railroads for the first time.
Fantastic video I only did Cardiff on a the Premier Service with Cardiff 67s and Mark 3s back in the Arriva Trains Wales days I like Cardiff got some nice places to visit
Brilliant video G, I honestly wonder when they'll finally refurbish 390 121. I wonder when I'll finally be able to see 390 121 where I can get pictures and videos of it lol, I've still not managed it yet. That 150 does look like it was very crowded but at least you got a seat in the end and the route you take down to Cardiff does have some nice views. I'm looking forward to the next video from this adventure. :)
Hi G fab video as always ..the 150's doing a Cardiff run is a joke but they have had issues with the 175's but its still shambolic to have just 2 coach sets at a time .. the yellow flowers do smell not that nice imho its called rapeseed and yes it is indeed the plant that you get rapeseed oil from...
I do agree they shouldve used the 150/2 on the shuttles but yeah cos of a defect they only have a limited 175 fleet until the fleet is fixed or they get rest ofthe new trains and start full tfw class 197 set diagram services etc
Glad to see your favourite place Cardiff love the place too, glad u can have a poo at crewe too haha sorry it was a bit of a squeeze on that 150!! 🙄 Look forward for next Vblog thanks guys great as always 🙂 👍
I went to Cardiff last week from Chester, and it was two coach there and back. Coming back it was very busy, I was lucky to get a seat. I stayed at the Sleeperz hotel, it's right by Cardiff Central.
A) lovely jubbly! Trains, food n hotels? Moar please!!! 😁😁😁 B) Was that Cwmbran? And then the Usk? Could do with some more Newport, even if I don't recognise it anymore 😜 C) Taking the missus on a trip.... To Cardiff?!?!? Poor lass, please pass my condolences on 😜😜😜
A couple of Saturdays ago I went to Cardiff from Cheltenham and yes it was a three-car train and it was packed. Also had lunch at that Wetherspoons. Which was also full, even upstairs!
Bore da G, It's good to see you venturing back to Cymru passing all the canola fields we look forward to further adventures while you are both down in Cardiff. Cael diwrnod da yng Nghaerdydd.
brilliant vlog the journey to Cardiff looks amazing & to be honest im currently holidaying in South Wales at & ive seen allsorts do the Manchester to Camarthern route including the 150s the standard 175s 158s & ive seen a 150/153 combo yesterday do that route also i visited Cardiff today its an awesome city looking forward to the next vlog
Transport for sea creatures use any old junk that runs on rails they are a joke and must give people a poor impression on our lovely capital city shame the rail service is a shambles 🏴
Hello G L T (Not the Newport band). 0:25 The world famous yellow lines. 5:45 Welcome to Cardiff, Again. 6:28 Nice picture of The Alliance and Library. Look forward on your views and vlog on Cardiff City centre, etc. Thank you G and Friend.
Worked one CDF-Holyhead once. That was fun. The 150s are being pressed into service on this route for the time being while the 175s insist on catching fire and while TfW wait for the last Mk4 sets to come into service at the timetable change (apparently)
I think TFW got their trains mixed up that day. Putting a loud 150 on a Manchester to Cardiff service, while your bae was on the Crewe to Chester shuttle. Very bizarre I look forward to the Cooking with G series 🤣
This is not busy as Leeds-Nottingham service on saturdays. 2 coach class 195 And football fans inside as well Nightmare While standing is no need to hold anything because You are squezzed inside like sardines in tin ;) Norhern is WORST operator Yes, TPE is not far away ;)
Used to do this journey (Crewe to Cardiff) - first train of the day - bizarre thing was the man with the trolley going up and down the completely empty train shouting "tea ? Coffee? " I could hear him moving up and down the train for ages !
Two car on the busy route and three on the short one. Yes, that makes perfect sense. 🙄 The time I did Crewe to Chester and back it was a 153. Which handled the load no bother. Using a 175 is overkill!
150's are unsuitable for the Marches line. Even if strengthened to 4 cars their comfort is of an insufficiently reasonable standard for the route and distance. Nor are 150's suitable for Llandudno/Holyhead to Piccadilly for similar reasons.
First of all you look so cute at 4:02. And I kinda lived your life for a few days, while trying out a new format, visiting all the stations of a line as quick as possible, and I was like "Oh this is fun", "I can't explain what I'm even doing to friends" "I wonder what the train drivers think" and "I've now stories to tell that definitely no one else has.".
Still prefer old Cardiff before the greed merchants moved in with their fancy glass towers and there were a load of Orange buses outside the train station, where they should be. I once travelled from Hereford to Cardiff on an International Rugby day. You certainly couldn't move then! It was a diesel hauled service that day though! A bit more room to not be able to move in! 😄
Great vlog (as usual) G. But wot's this 'next week' "...Cooking With G?..." Surely a G wind-up?? And how about that safety hat? (looks like a flat topped Fish Market Porter's hat fish market porters once carried up to a dozen boxes of fish on! - I can't imagine G cooking fish tho' (but she did look very cheekily fetching posing in that 'at I reckon 🙂!) - Roll on next week! Your good 'elf G - PJx
I would of thought the opportunity pendolino would of been one of the refurbished too Hope you enjoy/enjoyed Cardiff So we are getting abit of a cooking show/room tour next time 😁
Another wonderful performance from transport Wales the service here is getting a joke with the delays cancellations was on a service last Sunday Cardiff to Holyhead a 150321 I think left Cardiff on the 5 hour journey to Holyhead with the toilet out of order !!!! glad only to travel on the thing to Newport t r w at their worst 🏴😡
Could anyone assist me with the app G was using to idetify the particular formation of trains. I have heard of such an app. I just haven't found it yet
If anyone Senior from TFW is watching this - Its a disgrace that you are using a class 150 commuter train on this route. Just cos the 175's were catching fire is no excuse G - If you go on the 10 past 3 from Crewe to Cardiff - then this is normally the Mark 4 - and first class is so lovely - Its the only time I'll travel otherwise you risk being on a rammed class 150

absolutely! Except for some branch lines and local trains, I don't think 2-car trains are ever justified.
Politically speaking, London has priority over the rest of England and the investment in transpport is much greater.

Cool journey...... And lunch at good old Spoons. I would love to go Cardiff and see the Bay..... where TV series Torchwood was filmed.

Great vlog again G!
A 150 from Crewe to Cardiff.....TFW have got a nerve! 😡
Thanks haha it's all a laugh 😆

Hi Lucy
Awesome Video G Loves Trains
A very good Tuesday evening beautiful young lady who are today hun from Alan in Lowestoft hun 😘
I think TFW got their trains mixed up that day. Putting a loud 150 on a Manchester to Cardiff service, while your bae was on the Crewe to Chester shuttle. Very bizarre
I look forward to the Cooking with G series 🤣

"You can have a poo at Crewe". You should work in marketing! 😆😆😆

My experience of TFR are always packed especially north Wales during summer holidays.
This is not busy as Leeds-Nottingham service on saturdays.
2 coach class 195
And football fans inside as well

While standing is no need to hold anything because You are squezzed inside like sardines in tin ;)

Yes, TPE is not far away ;)
This video is about the quietest I've seen the Manchester-Cardiff route in a long time, its usually much worse than this!
Used to do this journey (Crewe to Cardiff) - first train of the day - bizarre thing was the man with the trolley going up and down the completely empty train shouting "tea ? Coffee? "
I could hear him moving up and down the train for ages !
😂😂 least u had a trolley service
A 2 car 150 on a route like that? What a shame! Hope the hotel and trip made up for it?
