Cheers Kim 🫡

[@benjaminlloyd-lewis1185]

If only my high school history teacher did flight reviews

[@PistolPet]

Has to be the best ad plug in history

[@pranavmaddula]

What a long and uncomfortable ride... Loving the videoes recently -- keep up the grat work and I'm excited for your future reviews and experiences!

[@Olisontheball17]

Really good video. Recently found your channel and love how much background/history you include. I’ve learnt lots of new things from your videos

[@CaptainsVoyage]

Always love your videos - don't know why, but you are very ... "approachable". Keep up the great work.

[@kc3302]

Great video. I don't know why some people are angsty about it - life would be boring if everyone only ever did one exact thing all the time. You specifically compared it to flying, so people can know the pros and cons of this alternative. A lot of people who visit USA do Amtrak once (most never do it a 2nd time, for good reason!) You don't know how on the mark you were about the "kindergarten" comment about their seat allocation procedures. You were very lucky to get an empty seat beside you - they like filling up cars entirely and then leave half of the train cars completely empty to make less work for themselves, bugger the comfort of the passengers.

[@mecvm9857]

Great video. Big fan of trains never on an amtrek, but coast starlight is always a dream!

[@seanfan1500]

9:09 forgot the potheads smh

[@Ka-52blackshark]

Love your content style

[@red.guevarra]

I love taking the train occasionally to Denver or Chicago, as I'm right in between along the California Zephyr line. My local Amtrak station finally received an eBike rental dock, which is great because it's about 2 miles from my apartment (where we also have a dock). Before that, it was an unnecessary Uber ride, yet too far to walk. I might feature a bike-n-train trip report sometime on my channel!

[@ev007-m8p]

It looks like the U.S. with their trains live in 19th century. Such developed country with such trains. Great video though, love your sense of humour and history plugs. If you’re planning to come to London, I’d love to be your guide in London and show you around 😊 looking forward to watching the next one

[@nonesuchtofu]

hey! next is... greyhound!?

[@kc3302]

Lol. Somehow I don't think so. Only the needy and the sadistic resort to Greyhound.

[@Ccqlk]

I cannot wait for next week's video

[@shawnd-v1660]

Next you should do the XPT sleeper from Melbourne to Sydney if you were to do another train video

[@kc3302]

Don't wish that upon him

[@tomnicolson1256]

Love this!

[@abhaydasteki918]

Any thoughts about travelling across canada or the us from the pacific to the atlantic? On via rail, Amtrack, Rocky Mountaineer?

[@seochi]

Thanks boss 💯

[@Ap9-q5f]

I would love to do this do you always travel solo? I want to start any tips

[@IlIlIlIlIlIlIlIl-v9h]

Come do a video reviewing the inflight service in my Mooney 😂

[@Rentheflower]

But good job on Oregon 👌

[@LearningToLiveNow]

Great Video

[@AnarchyEnsues]

The burger king is a hero.

[@randyrohe]

You missed out by not going to the dining car. It's nothing exceptional, but I understand that the covid-era "frozen dinners in the microwave" are a thing of the past, and they've gone back to decent food options. That said, those prices seem way higher than I remember! But yeah, I really like trains, and Amtrak.........ain't it.

[@AV8_YT]

Bro you should try an Amtrak train in a room it’s way better

[@Sukkulents_]

you have to be next level bored to take a 22 hour economy seat train for fun thank you for your sacrifice, soldier

[@Blarrrghish]

where’s the xpt video coming 😂

[@FlightFormula]

probabaly never hahaha, I've tried but it ends up cancelled every time

[@bean9005]

[@notaccel]

[@Rentheflower]

Ka-lamb-math

[@1980mikeh]

What are you doing with all the wine? You must have dozens by now. Selling on Gumtree, drinking 🍷, giving it away, all of the above?

[@FlightFormula]

there's basically a big pile in the corner of my dining room and it's all people will ever get from me as a gift hahaha

[@BenjiShepard-tb4eq]

@FlightFormula haha, I was also wondering what you did with it

[@MegaGo68]

Fun video, but my goodness your generation is coddled if you think *that's* "rough."

[@FlightFormula]

“Back in my day”

[@PranavGarg-uo4fs]

[@jimsturt]

the amtrak station would be in emeryville. gross. why would you do this to yourself? 😂😂

[@kc3302]

People outside USA don't realise how crud Amtrak is. They very quickly find out
