Gawd you have beautiful trains! Uh, no snow, no hooks, no time to eat food... I think you and Jessica need to do it again!!! Loved it!!!

[@TravelSoGood]

Always a pleasure to spend time with G!

I used to drive HST's from Neville Hill to Leeds City, then south from there. It's hard to describe the mass of lines as you head south from Leeds towards Wakefield Westgate, but what a climb it is up to Ardsley Tunnel. There was a local instruction in the 'sectional appendix' that stated "both power cars must be able to provide traction power for a train formed of HST coaching stock to be signaled towards Wakefield Westgate"

I always love G loves trains. It is a fairly nice train compared to some other British trains. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas 🎄 and a Happy New Year 🎊

[@GLovesTrains]

Yes I am a fan of TPE's trains 😀

[@stuartrawson5057]

Great surprise Friday vlog G ❤nice nice to see you and Jessica enjoying a ride with tpe to Carlisle

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks Stuart 😀

[@TheFrogfather1]

Great video! Nice shot at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="672">11:12</a> of the Costas where I distinguished myself by slipping on a strap of my rucksack and falling flat on my face. Memories... and bruises.

[@GLovesTrains]

Ouchies!

[@JoJo-yt1ys]

Loved the vlog both ❤

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks ❤

[@geoffh2560]

Looked like a fun trip - I used to go by train up to Carlisle for work quite often, so it was nice to see the station again. Shame you had to finish your tea on the platform!

[@Thornaby37]

If only you get delay repay for those meals arriving late. I don't think many people can say that they have eaten Christmas dinner on a freezing cold station platform 😂 BTW a big thumbs up to Jessica's video and channel

[@GLovesTrains]

Haha yes me peas were freezing when we got off the train 🤣. And agreed 👍👍👍

[@barriewillans1250]

Yet another great vlog. Appy Crimbo!!!!!

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks, merry Xmas!

[@iana6713]

How's about that? A mince pie! Lovely. Bit of a shame you got served so late on in the journey but had to laugh at how there was no way you were wasting that dinner!

[@therealmasonicbwe]

Happy to see another Friday video, feels like it's even yonks since the last one

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

I’m following Jessica’s other video series on air accident investigations which is really good - I’m looking forward to seeing her doing a video about the Tuskar Rock disaster 😍😍😍

[@GLovesTrains]

What videos are these? 🤔

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

@ I think they are on one of her other channels

[@davidhamm7909]

I’ve got a nutless roast for Christmas Dinner. You won’t like it though. It’s turkey.

[@theshowmanuk]

That was great fun to watch. Nice surprise.

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks 😀

[@Kulla1berg]

As always an absolute enjoyable video, wondering where and how you going from Carlisle

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks, and stayed over in Carlisle that night 👍

[@HTAaB2024]

Great video G also a great companion which had led me to subscribe to their channel too ✌🏻👍🏻

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks a lot 😀

[@TravelSoGood]

Thanks ❤️

[@JohnLvideos]

That's diabolical no knicker hooks? whatever next .lol

[@grahamandrew907]

Great video, love the journey from Leeds to Victoria.

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks Graham 😀

[@neilwilson5785]

I love the details like plug sockets, USB etc. Small things are important.

[@GLovesTrains]

Oh yes plug sockets are very important!

[@aaronsmith9209]

I think the problem is Transpennine Express need more staff in catering and first class. It took a long time for me to be served after I ordered when I used them in the summer, but then I realised it was just 1 person responsible for everyone's orders and requests. That's a lot on 1 person even if the 1st class section is kinda small. Compare it to LNER or even Avanti who has someone different for hot drinks, cold drinks, food and I think sometimes someone stayed in the small kitchen to prepare it all, so a big difference and easier to coordinate. The other problem is because TPE has 2 very different 1st classes on their trains as the rolling stock is very different depending on which route you take, which reflects our countries failure to electrify enough of the railway. I also wonder if they are still figuring things out as the West Coast Kitchen seems like a fairly new thing. Hopefully they figure out how to improve as the food was pretty good I thought, good variety on offer.

[@GLovesTrains]

Yes completely agree, one member of staff doing both serving and cooking. Hope the service will get better 😀

[@ReubenAshwell]

Brilliant video G, I did have a ride on a Nova 1 but it was cut short by a major tresspassing incident. Honestly, how can you have a first class section with no knicker hook lol. The food does look nice though. :)

[@GLovesTrains]

Shame to hear! And I know right lol 😆

[@harrymcandrew1447]

good old leeds old stoping grounds for me when i lived there last i was down in leeds nipping up to leeds Bradford airport didnt half seem weird cos i barely venture even down there from york

[@MichaelSebastianTodd]

[@GLovesTrains]

[@topmandog1]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="346">5:46</a> everytime i use manc pic i always get platform 13 and 14, also most watch jessicas videos

[@jamesabbott5242]

Awesome Video G Loves Trains 😄😄😄😄😄😄

[@KeithPatmore]

Lovely 🚄 😊

[@dpld70]

Where do you get your amazing energy from? Absolutely love your videos 🥰

[@airplaneliker]

Amazing video, I was on a TPE first class service to preston from Manchester airport, and when the host came around for orders after Manchester piccadilly, I asked her what can you get for someone getting off at Preston, and she pondered for for afew moments and Offered the regional breakfast, and prioritise me, was nervous but thank to a northern train we were delayed by 15 min so I got my food. Seems if you tell them you might get prioritised first for food.

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks, glad you got your food in time! Will definitely take that tip on board next time 😀

[@JessesGrandDaysOut]

A journey to remember 😁

[@GLovesTrains]

Certainly is 😊

[@surisuri8993]

Love this channel and Jessica

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks very much 😊

[@AFCManUk]

Lol. I hear you about being Starstruck. I met a couple of KZbinrs last year ... ToysAreRuss at the NEC toy fair, and Mahyar Tousi at a live event in London....and it does hit you a bit :D

[@GLovesTrains]

Haha yea it does 😂

[@AFCManUk]

@@GLovesTrains Your a legend in your own right now though :D

[@alanshelly7068]

A very good Friday evening beautiful young ladies from Alan in Lowestoft ❤❤

[@scottishtrainspotter7209]

I did a video around Yorkshire not long ago, I was on that route with TPE and saw it in person, I didn't know that the name of the new station was until I found out it was White Rose station. I so glade I found out today. This was my video from it.kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqXJfqulgqiEf8k

[@OneHundredPiplup]

Hi I have a question, do you know much about great northern trains? Are there any train conductors on the train checking peoples tickets? For example if I use my Oyster card how would they check that? (Assuming I’m gonna use my oyster)

[@GLovesTrains]

I honestly don't have a clue

[@jackcro8825]

It would be nice if. You caught the train from Dammam to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia across the desert.

[@HonarySpock]

Enjoyed both Jessica;s and your video. Pity TPE did not prioritize you, but it made for a great video see you both enjoying your meal in Carlisle station

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks a lot, it was a fun experience!

[@JonathanButler-zd8qt]

I don't like sitting backwards on a train. I like sitting in the direction the train is travelling. Sometimes sitting backwards on a train makes me feel motion sick.

[@davefrench3608]

Loved it. Have you got a link to Jessica’s channel?

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks! I've popped a link in the video description 👍

[@neiltaylor6645]

Flew by like 125 mph

[@foxyjp100]

I think that's expensive I can go from Newcastle to Edinburgh on Trans Pennine for £5.95 each way with my travel card

[@GLovesTrains]

Thats a great price! I didn't book very in advance for these rides tbh

[@Sim0nTrains]

Very enjoyable to watch but it's a shame that they served you much later and the food looked nice. Also I've seen Jessica's video as well and do recommend giving it a watch

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks Cyber, and yeah Jessica's video is amazing 😄
