I booked for an overnight from your link London to Edinburgh based on your video and not so positive other reviews and video. Traveling with a 14 year old, I wanted him to have the experience. The experience is individualized. I know I won't have your experience and not others but it will be my own experience and memory of the ride. Good video. Thank you for this one and many of your other videos.

[@jjgoesforth]

Fantastic. Love your video guys.Looks much more civilised than the Caledonian Sleeper we went on just 6 years ago. I am now tempted to go again. Stay cool! Best. JJ Goes Forth

[@JayandKarolina]

Glad you enjoyed it! We've been just talking the other day that we loved it so much to the point that we're thinking of going to on another train journey to Inverness because it is slightly longer 🥳

[@gripplehound]

New subscriber. Love Jay’s warmth and how he calls everyone “my friend”. Lovely channel and nice long videos.

[@Jean-MarcBordeaux]

Nice train trip to Edinburgh i did say they had a lounge at Euston I am surprised how much it has changed since the 80s The dinning car looks really good I would have to go on that to experience it. Loved it when you told Karoline to turn the light out such a cute moment and her face when she took hold of the Iron Brew.

[@alexmcwhirter6611]

It's changed because in the '80s it was the BR stock but a few years ago Cal Sleeper bought new rolling stock from Spanish train firm CAF. Main difference today is that the better accommodation is en suite.

[@JayandKarolina]

Thanks for sharing Jean! Yes they do and it’s brand new! Loved how we could chill in that guest lounge with the drinks and snacks before heading off 😍 We wanted to integrate our sleep masks from Manta Sleep quite smoothly but it was pure improvisation haha - we really had a great time during the whole ride so we hope you can see the energy ❤️

[@deepamenon3314]

Love the way Neetha (the one who hands over the boarding pass) explains the details ❤

[@JayandKarolina]

Very true - it's great that you mentioned it ❤️ She made a great impression on us from the very beginning and we immediately felt taken care of!

[@paulc1983]

Just got this video on my recommended videos page. I know his face he used to do gig hustle. Didn't know you were still on KZbin Jay. Great video.

[@JayandKarolina]

Yes I am! But now as a travel content creator 🎉 Welcome on this channel Paul!

[@triscuitbiscuit]

I agree with Karolina- I think Irn Bru tastes like bubblegum! It seems like there are so many opinions on the flavor though. Definitely the second national drink of Scotland after whisky!

[@JayandKarolina]

Yeah I think it tastes a bit like bubblegum too haha - Jay

[@jeangreenfield5993]

I think I will just travel during the day to Scotland. Lovely views out the window ❤

[@pamelajna]

I have always been admiring people who choose sleeper trains/buses over daily travelling 🫣 but with the experience you have shown, no longer have I doubts it can be smooth, comfortable and time saving!! 🚂💺🙌🏼

[@JayandKarolina]

Couldn't agree more! The Caledonian Sleeper was like the best adventure and an extremely comfortable train journey in one also we are sure that everyone would enjoy this experience very much ❤️

[@jaydenrockslewis]

That was not a Scottish breakfast , eggs , beans , bacon, tattie scone,lorne sausage (square) sausage ,haggis,black pudding,toast, is the true scottish breakfast. Love your channel xx

[@JayandKarolina]

This sounds amazing 🤤🤤 Would need to try it out 100% next time! Thank you so much for watching!

[@andrewclark8630]

No it wasn't, but I have to say, it wasn't bad at all. Tasted a lot better than it looked (I had it in the compartment).

[@Twogirlsabroad]

Wow you guys I think that hall way was the same size as a plane isle!! Even as little as Karolina is she barely seems to fit. Can’t wait for the video!!!

[@JayandKarolina]

Haha the carriage hallway was quite narrow, but the cabin room was very well-planned! So we didn't mind that much :) Loved the whole adventure! As you can guess, our next video will be posted from beautiful Edinburgh ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Totally agree with you on that, their trip to Liverpool, my home town was the first blog that I saw of theirs. The Liverpool blog was great (glad they liked my home city). They are very light-hearted, well spoken and seem like a lovely couple.

[@JayandKarolina]

@@duncanclark7592 thank you Duncan! This comment has made our day :)

[@alexmcwhirter6611]

Really interesting KZbin and great photography. Cal Sleeper is popular with foreign visitors who like the Scottish theme and who save on a night's hotel accommodation. But Cal Sleeper runs at a loss and that's why it was nationalised by the Scottish gov't last year (previous operator Serco handed back the keys).

[@JayandKarolina]

Thank you so much Alex :) We wouldn't have expected that because the experience in itself is really amazing... so we hope the trips will be just as great because they deserve to continue 🎉🚂🏞️🤩

[@alzyerpal-TV]

Irn Bru, was always named and spelled so. The taste is supposed to emulate iron girders, hence its one time tag line "Made in Scotland from girders", a light hearted nod to Scotland's industrial past. The only good tasting one is the original, and ideally served cold from a glass bottle, versus plastic. As kids we'd take the glass bottle back to the shop for a deposit refund, recycling goes way back. Diet and 'Extra' versions are so different tasting. It's largely regarded as a good hangover cure ! 😂 Look up some old Irn Bru tv ads on KZbin, some are comedy genius. 😛

[@JayandKarolina]

Haha thank you for sharing all them insights! It all definitely changes the perspective and makes so much sense 😬🎉

[@whatthefunk7992]

Irn-Bru was originally called Iron Brew when it was introduced in 1889. In 1946 they had to change the name due to marketing regulations, as it contains no iron and isn't actually brewed.

[@alzyerpal-TV]

@@whatthefunk7992 Fair enough, I've never known it as anything other than Irn Bru. There were other competitor brands such as Struthers "Iron Brew" and supermarket brands, such as the Coop/Hendries "Iron Brew" that I recall from the 70's and 80's. I'll assume neither contained iron or were brewed either. Irn Bru's iron claim references were always heavily satired in its many advertising campaigns. I'll further recommend looking up some of their classic TV ad campaigns.

[@PaniaFox]

What!!!! JAY is on KZbin!!! Try that on an Auckland train 😅😂🎉

[@JayandKarolina]

Hey Pania!!! I was not expecting this comment at all hahaha - how did you find this video? 😂 Hope all is well with you? Are you still working at WorkSafe?

[@OhioticketswithRobert]

I luv IRN BRU. Had it every meal while I was in Scotland.

[@christophergough3100]

Having travelled from London to Edinburgh by train on a few occasions, the overnight thing seems a bit like overkill. I don’t think it took more than about 4.5 hours during the day - doesn’t seem worth being crammed into that tiny room and having a short night’s sleep! I suppose it might be worth it if going into the highlands.

[@paganphil100]

Back in the 1970s I did this same trip by coach and it took 11 hours (including a "rest stop" at Doncaster). I thought it would be much faster than 10 hours by train.

Thanks Pamela ❤️ We will continue travelling as long as it's possible haha so hope you'll enjoy our future series too!

[@carolemcmurry8329]

Irn Bru was once named Iron Brew, however, a name change to Irn Bru was nothing to do with being non-alcoholic - it didn’t contain Iron and was not brewed!

[@tomq6491]

While not containg pure iron metal, it contains ammonium ferric citrate, a compound with iron. It also referrs to the rusty colour of the drink.

Hi Jay i take it your British with your accent if so have you taken Karolina on the UK 's 2nd sleeper train, the night Riviera from London's Paddington station to Penzance? if you haven't then i would recommend you take her to travel on iit and go through Devon and Cornwall crossing the iconic Isambard Kingdom Brunel Bridge called Royal Albert Bridge which links Devon and Cornwall and stands between Plymouth and Saltash and spans the River Tamar,

[@JayandKarolina]

Yes I'm British! Next year we're coming back to the UK and I think we will do more of the south. So this is a great idea - thank you!

[@charlesbrenan6269]

That's once you've made it to a remote stand in the bus on the other side of Heathrow - your 'hand luggage' has been checked in because there's no room in the plane cabin, and you finally get a take off slot having missed the allocated one for all of the above! But yes - I've got to admit that I still do the plane for the reasons you have mentioned: Quicker and cheaper! 🤑

I could never stay in that miniscule compartment. There is compact and bijou ... and then there is downright claustraphobic. And those corridors are ridiculously narrow if 2 people want to pass in opposite directions. If I want a true sleeper train experience I will save up for the Orient Express thank you.

[@Victoria-kl7su]

That compartment would be ok for one but is definitely on the small side. - It’s functional - barely, that’s all you can really say and the corridors are far too slim as well, am shocked it’s not a bit more room,I wouldn’t be rushing to go on that train as much as a ‘sleeper’ appeals to me
