thank you for your sharing. I was deeply shocked by this video. Britain's railway construction is so fantastic! Although China's railway construction has made some progress this year, details can not be compared with yours. China's railway HTC, the station is very modern, sometimes more modern than the international airport, but all the stations are homogeneous, the lack of artistic atmosphere. But from your video I can see that the British station has a very historical flavor and a sense of art. The scenery along the railway is everywhere. This is something neither China nor Japan can match. There are still many places in China's railway construction that need to learn about other countries, especially the software and details, in combination with its own culture, to change this stereotyped building. I hope China and Britain can exchange and cooperate with each other to promote mutual development. Your video made me know the difference between the British Railways and I hope you can share the video about the British High Speed Rail next time and feel the speed and passion of the UK. Thank you.
The railways in rural areas tend to be relatively scenic, especially in mountainous areas but the railways in urban areas are just as bland as anywhere else!
Hello There, a nice review overall, the HSTs did have a far more polished and professional business approach throughout, whilst the new 800s are no where near as professional and don't represent the same upper class standard that the HSTs once did. Love this video perspective a very useful look at this truly incredible and breathtaking/scenic journey. Cheers Peter
Excellent coverage! I used to travel First Class on this route frequently but only Standard on the new trains because First Class is nowhere near as good. Thank ylou for such good coverage.
The 10.06 am had Pullman Breakfast, the 12.05-13.05-18.03 and 19.03 all have Pullman dining out of Paddington, and from Plymouth the 06.55 has Pullman Breakfast and 12.01.-12.56-18.03 to Paddington have Pullman dining, costs are breakfast about 20 set price and Pullman dining from about 20 main course to about 45 for 3 courses. Minimum requirement is a main course, can well recommend it, really great food and service, brilliant way to spend aa few hours on a train.
great video penzance is near land end at the southernmost point on the uk very scenic video . and also the first class seats on the hst look superior compared to the first class on the new iet trains
Sorry to have to say,, But The nicest first class train you can get in the uk, is the Original 1930's Belmond Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. .. www.belmond.com/trains/europe/uk/belmond-british-pullman/
Who would have thought that railways started in England, and after all these years this is a good has you can do. Anybody looking at this in Asia must be having a good laugh.
Lovely video, and a nice journey along the GWML, Berks & Hants, etc. Even though the HST is over 40 years old now, they have worn well, albeit with various carriage refurbs and new MTU power units.
This is what you think is different set British railways nit so homogenous and very plush interiors it's not so much about speed but more towards passenger satisfaction
I thought that the majority of Class 43 Power Cars and Mark 3 trailer vehicles of the High Speed Train/InterCity 125 were built in 1976 with a few being built in 1981 for both Cross Country and Midland Main Line.
according to one british expert site the trainset 43131 was built in 1979; i dont think all class 43 trains were manufactured in just one single year in 1976
Very good video!!! How much does the First Class ticket cost? I always dream this train trip after reading all Rosamund Piltcher's novels!!! Greetings from Greece!!! P. S Your channel is amazing!!! I love traveling by train and I love all your train travelling videos!!!
Certainly the replacement Hitachi trains are rubbish in comaparison , first class is like sitting on a stiff board , the trolley service is garbage , not hot food as they have done away with the buffet car , an example of how to encourage people away from public transport .
Paddington to Penzance is one of the greatest long distance train journey. The scenery is absolutely stunning.
so nice, love those old intercity trains, remember riding on the old slamdoor trains. old but just love the clunk of the door
Lovely!So calming to watch that great trip!
Great video... enjoyed watching it... cheers

How long did it take you to write this?
This journey is nicer when it's light, the section between Exeter and Newton Abbott is spectacular.
we would have loved to experience this section in daylight as well; unfortunately, the days are very short in the winter time
Very enjoyable ride and scenery too .
Plymouth, where I grew up! Love holidays in Devon and Cornwall. Great ride pity it was dark by Exeter 😢
Well done 70K subs Doc 🎉😊

The fact that you have the audacity to even **TRY** to compare the HST to any train is just… strange

Thank ylou for such good coverage.
So true 😞. It really isn’t worth paying extra for first class on the new 800’s. Horrible hard seats .
Nice of them to think about putting USB ports in back in the late 70's ready for us now ;)

driving this train in tsw right now they got it spot on
I love GWR!
@doc7austin - You have inspired me to go and see China's high speed rail midway through the year. Many blessings to your channel
great video penzance is near land end at the southernmost point on the uk very scenic video . and also the first class seats on the hst look superior compared to the first class on the new iet trains
Definitely the nicest first class train you can get in the UK.

A Class 43 is a Power Car and not a train set as such. For your information, all Mark 3 trailers are mix and match, there are no fixed formations.
Exeter to Newton abbot is the best part you got the Devon coast and dawlish
