Once you understand thar our privatised railways are all about maximising profits for shareholders, it all falls into place

It’s not worth £250. I did it once when a 1st class seat was on sale fro £90 and it was just about worth it, but unless there is standing room only in standard class it’s not worth it.

The hotel is fine, and your rate seems fair, but the price list in the lobby!

Thanks for sharing another enjoyable video! Congratulations on reaching 250 subscribers!

the price sheet at the beginning 580 pounds a night .... i think its nice but not fantastic it has a very business feel to it grahams breakfast look nice but a little small . not sure if you get to choose what you have on the full Scottish breakfast . good video .

Glasgow gets a bad rep, but honestly it is one of the friendliest places in the British Isles. If you are thinking of heading up to Scotland, don't miss it out of your to visit list!

good work :-) i always look forward to your videos have a great day XD

they should do a burns experiences as well where you get a manuscript with a few of his poems a glass of his favorite drink and his favorite bar snack . i had a look at this place and there is so much they could do with this places its like the managers have given up . so much history neglected or done poorly i hope someone who really cares buys this place

I wouldn’t change too much, as long as the new owners keep it clean and maintained. There is space for hotels like this as long as they sit in the right value band. The character and history is great. Wholesome filling breakfasts are good but there should be nothing tasteless or spoiled. There must be some money ladling out scrambled eggs from a bucket at those prices. When traveling I always find hotel breakfasts overpriced and disappointing, prefer to get up early and go and find some local character place. Oh and the locks, they would be a relief for me instead of endless swipe cards and programming mistakes.

Hi Siobhan - I hope you didn't spend too much on staying there, it did seem a bit frayed about the edges. It certainly would need a lot of money to get it up to a good standard. Hope you had a lovely time in Scotland, and thanks for sharing!

new locks for sure . but i think it needs about4 million spending on it . and make it look like a Scottish manner house needs display its history and

Interested in taking on the challenge of refurbishing this place? Let me know how you would change it!

Good afternoon, hope your well , firstly I love your content, secondly I am a aspiring accessible train and travel blogger and vlogger and was interested in forming a partnership with you

I have used capsule hotels in Sydney, with the proper Japanese style pods with doors. The downfall is the wet and busy bathrooms, and the time taken to shuffle from your locker to your bathroom to your capsule to change. Other than that, fine.

No porridge?

$6.50~ for a cocktail.

ask them to bag it for sure ....

Randomly been recommended your video but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn’t think I’d ever try something like this myself but you made it seem not as bad as I would’ve expected!

£9 difference? Looks more like £90 tbh. 😂

Hi siobhan Just came across your channel. Really enjoyed your video. I will check the rest out.. you come across lovely and sweet.. Good luck with your channel in the coming months and years. 😊🤍

Hi Siobhan - that's the first time I've seen a review of staying at a capsule hotel. I don't think I'd choose to stay at one - unless it had an en-suite! Thanks for sharing!

Let me know if you've ever found a capsule 'room' smaller than this!

This looks better than the Eurostar to Paris

Why do I get the feeling that the prisoners actually locked up in prison are going to fight over wanting their prisons upgraded to these modern comforts like this hotel when they see this video and demand for better conditions in prison? lol😂

the soft drinks in the mini bar are epic

Your videos were randomly put on my recommended page and I’m so glad! You’ve got the confidence and style down to make great videos; i’ve enjoyed every single one. Better quality camera and you’ll break 1000 views every time

£15 for a croissant... Looks like you had an amazing time! Shame you'll need to start saving for a house deposit again!

Love this, I was so interested in what the invisible room was lol 😆 looks awesome! I was going to go back again and do the other hostel with caravans. Your narration is great lol I actually enjoyed the eggs I had two breakfast rolls 🙈 Hope you enjoyed Amsterdam?

Greetings from Netherlands 😊

I'm sure that hotel would be fantastic for any plane lover .. and really, who doesn't like planes. Jumbo jet is really the nickname of the Boeing 747 and very few of these are used now .. I can't see any at the airport :)

Good Job and Good Speed :-)

Thanks for sharing, Siobhan. It's good to know what airport hotels are like. I've never been but might one day. Can't wait to see where you go! I'm guessing you're back now (and not on a beach editing away!) ✈🏖

Cool hotel!

I've taken my need to get to the airport 3 hours early a step further with this one. Organisation for the win! x

I think Grand Central should have merged into LNER, using Azuma class 800 instead.

Railway Station not train station, fewer people not less people. I do agree with much of what you said however, I travel to/from King's Cross often and the difference in cost from standard to first class is not worth it, when the QR code refreshments booking was introduced the staff were as unaware as the customer as to how it worked and a combination of old and new styles were used until all parties became familiar with what should be done, it was more of a sideways step than an advance on what had been in place, in fairness covid played a big part in getting it started, but the details must have been worked out by some alien species and implemented without consultation or trial (it appeared to be alright on paper, the reality was very different). A quick note, if only more stations were more like Kings Cross and less like St Pancras, though St Pancras is a stunning building, pity about the station.

I used to commute and the only difference between 1st class and 2nd class was the colour of the seats plus a little extra space.

Issue with Grand Central is its reliability which must concern corporate users. Part of GC's fleet consists of elderly 180 diesel units which are known to have mechanical issues. You were lucky in that the train you travelled on, which was an 180 unit, worked okay.

Ooh! I travelled to Leeds first class a couple of weeks ago on LNER, and it was exceptional. It was a small carriage (18 seats) and only 8 people. We were served by three staff. I was very happy with the food and drink, and it was so peaceful. I will keep in mind what you said about Grand Central. Given I do fork out for food on trains, I think I will go first class from now on. Thanks for sharing such an informative video 🙂

I hope you enjoy wasting my money so you don't have to x

How come you weren't given the room you booked? What time did you check in?

Seeing The Mousetrap is definitely on my bucket list if/when I get to London in the next few years. I had the opportunity to play one part, Christopher Wren, in a community theatre production in 1983, and again as Mr. Paravcini in a different community theatre production in 2014, but I really want to go see the London production.

im a bit disappointed with no breakfast from a viewer stand point but that was out of your control so i will let it slide

great video i like the way you subtlety included the boy friend

Cambridge is one of the most beautiful places I've been too. The old university buildings look stunning in the summer sun. The Gonville Hotel looked really lovely. I'm so glad you had a lovely time.

That hotel looked lovely!

Thank you so much for joining me on this little adventure today! Would you ever want to go to Cambridge? Is there something I should see next time I'm there? I'd love to hear your ideas!

Drinks etc are not "complimentary" - they are "included". 55 pounds makes sense. Any more than that... no.

It clearly says on the LNER website train by train if you get the Dish , Dish, Deli or Brunch menu and what’s served ie full meals or snacks so it’s not misleading

Hi Siobhan - I think that was your most fun video yet. I've never seen The Mousetrap, but I've wanted to go for a long time. My mum saw it some years back and wasn't impressed. I saw the price on your ticket and was shocked - but a little less so, once I realised it was for four people. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful videos with us!
