48 HOURS of UK trains in Standard Class!!!

[@Delta-pantages]

No, you didn't make a mistake in taking this trip. You relied on the train operators to proivde the advertised service which was the let down. However, you achived what you set out to do within 48 hours, so good on you! It has made me wary though of making a journey reuwirng multiple changes of trains. Your videos have become complusive viewing for me, so all the best for the future. 💗

Well done Dylan, taking one for the team! This was class, enjoyed this, I would have absolutely hated the loud kids too, I am a stickler for noise on trains and expect silence from everyone!! But you made it and as I have said before, you should be extremely proud at the amazing range of travel across the world and at such a young age too. You have lived 2 lifetimes already!! Keep it up man! 👍✈🚆🚄

Agree. Am I selfish on that as I was once a child. Yup. But I just like to sit in silence watching. Don’t mind quiet chat but it’s the same with those with headphones that still think they have a right to have it as loud as possible so it leaks out and that we should all enjoy it as well. I’d pay a few £ for a total supervised quiet car that means no loud headphones and no children under 12 and that actually removes people that break certain rules.

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

Travelling from Manchester (preferably Victoria) to Holyhead for the ferry to Dublin on SailRail, I’d love to see more direct services without having to change trains at Chester, Crewe, Bangor or Lladnuo in Wales and ideally, I’d love to travel in first class where possible, preferably in a private compartment - on the ferry, especially overnight, I prefer to get a cabin for the 3 hours crossing if I’m feeling especially tired, otherwise it’s the Club Class Lounge on the Irish Ferries Ulysses ferry

[@kevincollis2632]

Reminds me of June 1975 when me and my mate did a week on the trains on an all line rail rover . Just what you have done but 7days . Enjoyed every minute 😀

[@rookaloot4736]

impressive!

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

I once did a similar trip all around Ireland, Mayo, Dublin, Cork, Dundalk, back to Dublin - and a 5 hour coach trip from Dublin to Donegal Town and onto Letterkenny - when I eventually arrived back in Dublin by coach for my overnight coach and sail back to Manchester, I was wrecked

I love to see someone making a video travelling the entire length of the south coast of england from Dover to Penzance by rail without going through London over the space of 2 or 3 days.

[@Clivestravelandtrains]

Why don't you do it, then?

[@John_Fugazzi]

What an Odyssey! Delays, loud lads and kids, missed connections and nearly the entire length and width of Britain. This was very entertaining and if such a complex trip had gone perfectly it would have been a miracle. It's a trip you'll always remember. Congratulations on 100K.

[@samtrak1204]

I love your "Hit & Run" trip across the UK. I am amazed at the sheer number of trains serving both large cities and small villages and towns in the UK ...and of course, I'm jealous because I live in auto-addicted USA.

[@Clivestravelandtrains]

Thanks Dylan that was great. You deserve all the praise you get. I wasn't expecting you to start at Berry Brow - a station I used when visiting friends on the road up to Castle Hill! I've used the All-line Rovers myself, they give you complete flexibility without having to worry about missing a pre-booked train and losing money as a result. I remember once completely altering my plans on Shrewsbury station when a train I wanted was cancelled. I was surprised you hadn't done that for this trip. Although I live in Scotland I've never used the Caley Kipper as it has a bad reputation for reliability, unlike the older sleepers which I used to use quite happily. £7 a pint for beer in London - and recently a Londoner had the nerve to complain to me about a bar in the Highlands charging £5! What a cheek! I've no idea what monetised KZbinrs earn, but you've earned it with this one Dylan. Well done.

Hello Dylan, since the pandemic I have been watching your videos and thanks to you I have discovered many trains throughout the world and know how comfortable they are and what they offer in case one day I go to one of those countries. I wanted to propose a TOP 5 of all the trains you have taken in these 48 hours in second class, which is the TOP 5 of the best second class according to comfort, train vibrations etc etc, and for the quality price, thanks and I really enjoyed this video a lot. CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 100,000 SUBS, I hope you reach 500,000 hahahaha.

Fairplay Dylan, that was a trip and a half. I'm amazed you made it without killing anyone. Well done for making it to 100,000

[@nicholasrusson8978]

A marathon journey, and I could feel your frustration and exhaustion as the plan began to unravel. My wife and I took VIA Rail Canada's "The Ocean" from Montreal to Halifax in coach, back in 1983, and I envy those people who can actually sleep in coach seats on long-distance trains. I was a zombie for the following 24 hours until I managed to get a real night of sleep in a stationary bed.

[@peterhonig4954]

Wow Dylan, this was quite a challange!! I was very impressed that you kept filming for 48 hours. I can imagine that you were quit exhausted at he end. Well done mate and congrats of reaching 100.000 subscribers, you deserve it!!! Keep on going!!

[@paulharvey9149]

VERY Well done - both on the 100,000 subscribers; and the 48-hour ride. Compare if you will the bright happy face at the start of the video with the travel-weary knackered one at the end! You should have allowed yourself at least one standard sleeper cabin - we'd not have minded. But you'll know next time - as more laid-back videos would be nice, every now and then... Interesting that they feel the need to put notices on the backs of the tip-up seats on your Liverpool Street to Stratford train - informing us that they're not in use when they're in that state, isn't it? And there was me thinking they might be occupied by really small people... And, Aberdeen station... just when will they leave that place alone, I wonder? Thanks for staying awake to film Kintore, too. You'll have Inverness Airport next time you're up that way - and maybe Reston and East Linton - and maybe even direct from Huddersfield at that; seeing as ScotRail is doing its best to forget about its plans for an Edinburgh to Berwick local service...?!! There's an idea for you: everywhere you can get a direct train from Huddersfield to...

Congratulations, Dylan. First of all congratulations on your 100,000 subscribers. Second of all congratulations on this wonderful and extraordinary video, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. I must tell you Dylan that you are now my idol and my hero. You’ve done something I would like to have done, but haven’t been able: spend 48 hours on different trains. In my various trips in London and the UK, I could not have used that time for this extraordinary adventure. And in my country, Argentina, where we used to have a very wide railway network, most of it has disappeared. However, while in London my last time, in 1985, I did a station tour. In one of two days. I visited most railway terminal stations: Victoria, Waterloo, London Bridge (which is not real a terminal), Liverpool Street, Kings Cross, St. Pancras, Euston, and Paddington. I am sure I have missed one or two. Most of the stations I had used in my different. Thanks again, Dylan, congratulations and blessings. And see you again next time.

Congrats on the 100K Milestone. Perhaps an idea for a future milestone video would be to buy a 7 day all line rover and see how many miles you can cram into the 7 days. Throw in a few challenges in there too such as a collab with someone else between certain destinations, with you going one line and the other person doing a different route. I'm sure other ideas could easily be thought up.

I remember that passcom pull. Can't believe you were doing 48 hours on trains that day! Great video Dylan!

[@alextoft9199]

Nice video and congratulations, you deserve it. 🙂 I have two minor disagreements.. First, I don't think the Class 195 or 331s are bad trains. They are boring and unremarkable but I find them fine on the Calder Valley Line and WCML. Suspension is a bit hard and not quite as good as the 150s, but they are much more modern and I think nicer to travel on. If you don't focus on the ride quality you don't notice it. Secondly, while LNW have offered me some fantastically cheap fares from Crewe to London. Their 350 trains are often filthy and uncomfortable. I have got on at Crewe to find litter everywhere, stained carpets etc. After an hour the seats are like sitting on a park bench. Still the fare was so cheap compared to Avanti I couldn't complain. Just my thoughts anyway. 🙂

[@garethsandison978]

2:17 Many years ago, I had a similar problem when travelling from Athlone and Mullingar on the Sligo line via Maynooth to Dublin Connolly, even though I had a tight connection from Dublin Hueston to Thurles - at Clonsilla, the train terminated and I was “peppering” as I knew that the traffic along Dublin’s Quays is notoriously busy at that time of day - in more recent times, this problem has been resolved with the use of the Phoneix Park Tunnel via Liffey Junction for passenger/commuter services
