As much as I like planes, I like trains. Thanks for the report.

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Me too

[@kokilagunasinghe2186]

Joe Vermeulen I like trains.

[@jamesfield1674]

I like automobiles too ;)

[@diogopinto9462]

Trains are statically safer than planes ..

[@ftminton3256]

Same I would like a Grand Central review

[@ziggygraham6436]

I work at the network rail carstairs depot, those sleeper trains truly are beautiful, west coast mainline was probably shut because we were working on it 😂

[@maxwellquinney1320]

This is my 1st video Ive watched on your channel and you are such a cheerful and intelligent man im glad i found this Channel keep up the good work

[@rockystrains8891]

Now you need to do the Highlander service on the other way round from Fort William to Euston. The route is spectacular but you should do it in mid summer or the route is in entire darkness.

[@simonwest9450]

Rocky's Trains Hopefully once Caledonian Sleeper fix all the issues they’re having. The Fort William - Euston service broke down in the highlands the other day.

[@rockystrains8891]

Simon West 600 minute delay near Corrour lol

[@bolma1910]

@@rockystrains8891 wow I took a train to Mallaig last year and only remember Corrour as being the most remote train station I'd ever seen...that must've been terrifying

[@janettesinclair6279]

In the late 1960's I travelled north from Euston many times on the overnight sleeper, so had a great feeling of nostalgia as you walked along the platform beside the sleeper carriages. It was pretty basic in those days, and I was interested to see the inside of the modern cabins, with shower, toilet and amenity kit. Pillow spray was a great idea, and your breakfast looked great. Thank you for another interesting trip.

[@DanielLfc4eva]

I love it when enter a room and look around as if they haven’t already done it to put their camera there lol, good video 👍

[@gohdundee]

I noticed that.😄

[@Ducks-are-cool1]

The sun started to up up where I am in the uk at 4:40 to 5:30 this time of year

[@CallieMasters5000]

Noel, the flasher of Edinburgh station! 😁

[@petterin1]

I just love these trainstories of you!

[@tomhami]

Yes, more train vids please. Can recommend the Cornish Sleeper that is around half the price. Trip on the sleeper to Ft William is also amazing!

[@Lost_scotsman]

Might be slower and a tad more expensive. But sure is a relaxing and stress free way to travel the country. Nice review. You should do a review of similar train travel to / in Russia as it is also interesting and i remember meeting some great people. Also fun when the lift up the train to change the wheels at Polish border because of different gauge size.

[@rooneydoodle]

What do you mean can you feel the speed/ acceleration?

[@b33p]

About that trip through Russia...

[@danielsiwerov2151]

Very nice seeing something slightly different :D Looking forward for some more "onrail" videos :D

[@berenddeboo5841]

Yes Noël Phillips does a train review, my day is complete!

[@dianapearson1771]

Really enjoyed this. I've never traveled by train , but these vlogs are so interesting, I'm going to plan a trip somewhere in the US. I don't think it will be as inexpensive here as it is there! Thank you for sharing. Great job!!

[@nigelcymon7743]

Diana Pearson I was pricing train travel today. From Midwest to Texas. It’s cheaper to fly. 3 hr flight vs 32 hr train ride.

[@TravelSignal]

Definitely do more trains - for cost booked ahead you can get some bargains too!

[@JaninaElyse]

Nice review of the new train! I rode this line back in 2011 to Glasgow--looks like lots of amenities on the new train! Either way, this train beats an airplane any day!! Love train travel, thanks for the share and the tips. 🙏🏻

[@MzRage]

I love your report do many more please

[@cybergal99]

I took this train from Glasgow to London this Summer and loved it! Even though the shower was sort of not so warm. I treated myself and booked the double bed room since I'm very tall, and it was a bit shaky but I just loved NOT having to deal with Airport hassles (as you said) as well as someone bringing me a bacon butty at 6:30AM. Fun video!!

[@RonRicho]

Great video. Thanks a lot. We took the old Caledonian Sleeper from London to Inverness last year and honestly it was one of the highlights of my life. The new trains look more comfortable and luxurious but the old ones were fine. I hope to do it again sometime. Curious about the double compartment available but can't seem to find much on the Sleeper site. Thanks again. Very enjoyable and informative.

[@vincentcalvelli6452]

Thanks for the report Noel, brilliant.

[@angelahauser514]

"Stupid o'clock in the morning" lol. I love your sarcasm.

[@amtrakharry]

That was fun !!!! Yes please more train trips!!! Thank you for sharing !!! :):):)

[@bushyconn]

Always enjoy a good train ride, Keep them coming

[@nectafarious8842]

I'll have to have a go at that French La Frog whisky - sounds great...

[@scotb621]

Good review 👍 The Caledonian Sleeper uses Glasgow Central and Glasgow Queen Street. As the highlander service from Euston to Fort William stops at Queen Street low level.

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

That's definitely on my 'to do' list, so thanks for the great review. If you want an early start at your destination, this is the way to go.

[@joannharrington2279]

Riding the train from one end of the UK to the other is on my bucket list.

[@craigwillis3372]

Thanks Noel...really enjoy your reviews either on the ground or in the air!

[@JoseWhon]

A nice refreshing glass of 'Le Frog'..

[@gavinm91]

He definitely walked out the shower and dozens of people were staring at him naked 😂😂😂

[@GlasgowCelticBhoy]

What has been seen, cannot be unseen! The whole trip sounded like a comedy of errors: - hitting call button when trying to turn on light. - leaving window shade up when sleeping during a UK summer, and being woken by sun far too early. - the naked excursion out of the shower, and showing the platform the goodies. - potentially going shower, then needing the loo, either hold or get wet feet.

[@KCJ1999]

"La frog" 🤣🤣🤣👍

[@ChubbyChecker182]

You really need to go Inverness / Fort William... Waking up in the mountains is amazing.

[@LunaStarFire]

Try brecon in south wales =3

[@chrisryan3770]

Great video. Although it’s La-froy-g’ not La-frog Carstairs is the creepiest stop in Scotland due to the State Hospital being situated there.

[@DaveSuperThomas]

The State Hospital at Carstairs? Isn't that where Serco Group plc's managers responsible for the Caledonian Sleeper trains either come from, or end up?

[@eaubert1]

Living in Switzerland, I almost regret that our country is too small to have a sleeper train. It would be grand to be able to travel within your own country on a sleeper train.

[@miketrueman5473]

I really like your trip reports and would love to see more train videos so keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@torgeirbrandsnes1916]

Great vlog as always! I need to travel by train more often. All I have is time. I am a sink. For Norway and the Covid-19 everyone has to holiday within the country this summer, so it will by train, car or sea. Be safe, and stay safe my friend!

[@ryanfreeman1332]

Great report! I enjoy all your reviews . Thank you

[@edwardmiller3471]

A Train I've yet to do but hope to Someday..Thank You for this Interesting look and Video

[@charlieherron2950]

Oh this is great! Really good example of the train report genre, loved your production. Hope you do more rail videos!

[@amtraktraveler9118]

I think this video needs to be sent to Amtrak CEO Richard Anderson. Those are nice trains.

[@bb3ca201]

As good as VIA Rail trains are here in Canada, they could use a little improvement, too. This seems like a good starting point

[@underwaterdick]

Nice *Looking* trains... So far they are not nice at all. Brand new, only a few months in service and FULL of snags. Constant power failures and broken equipment. Not great for many passengers. Hopefully just teething snags that can be sorted!

[@philippkoziar1407]

Yeah! First time train report! Love it, Noel! Great work as always! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Tirana44]

Great video Noel. I’ve always wanted to try a sleeper train, now I know what to expect, cheers!😊

[@HooverLux]

Absolutely loved that video. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@alexnorth60]

understanding why the long stops happened, for an American, the idea of a train being ahead of schedule (shed ju wul) is mind-bending. if train riders were informed we had stopped at Joliet b/c we were running an hour early, there would be mass panic. great video. (I had a better experience with the shower/bathroom years ago. ended up taking two showers from Chicago to Washington d.c.)

[@tylisirn]

That's because rest of the world prioritizes passengers ahead of cargo, whereas US prioritizes cargo ahead of passengers.

[@jameseadie7145]

I went to London on the sleeper in May from Edinburgh to London and i thought it was worse than the old stock, the shower is a good idea but having the water tank in the roof is not I spent most of the night listening to the water sloshing around this was my fifth time travelling on the sleeper don’t think I’d do it again this is my own personal opinion

[@jonyu3597]

I looove sleeping on trains, the sound puts me right to sleep

[@jonclassical5710]

Love the rail trips, please do more....I am trying to do one in the US this fall somewhere....doing research now...thanks Noel!

[@hi-tech55]

I enjoy all of your videos. Keep them coming

[@WinkelHoof]

Nice. I wish we had this new sleeper trains here in Sweden. Our trains are really old...

[@voxley19]

That was a superb rail review video. Please do more.

[@melissam8677]

my dad was part of the project to build the fourth bridges and every time we go to Scotland we drive across it and its always so beautiful u can see the 3 lights at the top when its dark and its pretty cool

[@transportguy1k635]

Nice 👍 you should try out a heritage steam mainline service one day!

[@AbsoluteMiniacGena]

I’ve very recently become hooked on your channel and am binge watching. However trains have always been my first love and so this was right up my street. Thanks Noel. Ps the accompanying music was perfect for the journey.

[@austenmckenna5555]

Enjoyed the video! Something I may plan on doing when in the UK!

[@soshigay]

I would definately be up for more rail videos! Loved this video!

[@tramlad2]

Lovely way to travel to Scotland overnight, enjoyed that video Noel

The sleeper trains rooms are like hotel rooms? What hotels have you been going to? Hotel barlinie?

[@bb3ca201]

LOL

Thanks again for another great video Noel! Informative and interesting as always thanks again and Hope your fam is well also 🙌 ps how many people turned up when you got the night light confused 😝 we have all done it!

[@tsr207]

Good one Noel - that Bacon roll looked good !

[@justinleaskjl]

Great video as I love Traveling by train ,you even passed my home town of berwick on tweed :)

[@thomasraden]

Nice video. I'm waiting for the new Caledonian Sleeper carriages to go to Inverness. Here's a video tip. Set your gopro to video format "PAL" to reduce flicker. Then change frames per second to "50 fps" to make the videos even smoother. Then change field of view from "wide" to "linear" to reduce the fish eye effect. "Linear" mode only works at 1080p or 2.7K, not with 4K. Filming with 4K consumes a lot of battery and needs a pretty fast MAC or PC to edit.

[@MarcusLeepapi]

It was nice to see the train service.....I do like the first class service on trains...To have to private space and first class service by a nice guy and or lady is really good...

[@33m3c]

Nice and interesting video, hope you enjoyed your stay in scotland!

Your vlog came up on my feed as a suggested video. I have to say Noel I really enjoyed it. James in Galway , Ireland

[@CPSLondon]

Great video...... I would have been looking at the beautiful views out of the window too. Good point about waiting around in airports. I used go to Paris every month for work and once Eurostar opened that was always my preferred choice rather than fly.

[@markntexas8265]

Thank you. As a yank in DFW area we don't really do trains. I was more shocked but the price to luxury ratio than anything else holy cow

[@benparker2163]

What a beautiful building Glasgow Central is.

[@Darth_Zamiel]

thanks for this vid. I just took the Caldonian Sleeper from Waverly to Euston in May. Only thing I'll do differently next time is skip onboard meals. the food was really good; but making time to eat can quickly cut sleep time down so you feel a little tired the next day. still, ensuite shower on a train was a pretty cool experience ;)

[@rowanmorgan457]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@user-sf7kl9uh7k]

My uncle flew this service, he described it as Hum Drum Good Fun.

[@Tunneldreamer]

Great video. Keep the train trip videos coming please!

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Great Video Noel, Thanks!

[@cambsy37]

You should do a 7 day 1st Class All Line rover, At 796 for 7 days its a steal, less than a lot of business class flights, for this you get food, cooked breakfast, drinks, alcohol, any First Class lounge, if you use sleepers have pay supplement, any traveler or rail enthusiast should do a 7 day 1st class ALR, I’m doing on starting tomorrow Sunday 29th September, done them before too, always great so fully recommend, great way to see the UK rail network, make for a great vlog and reviews of many different First class journeys, from hot dishes, cooked breakfast to just coffee etc and a biscuit etc,.

[@JamieMacgregor-9390]

Hi Noel you should do the St Ives bay line from St Erth Cornwall :)

[@kierancarvell715]

Nice trip report certainly the best way to go from London to Scotland I hope all the teething problems with the new carraiges have been sorted out and I wish the UK had more than just 2 sleeper train services I would like to try this out someday as I've never been on a sleeper train before (or even gone this far away from London) I want to see what the experience is like

[@lauralishes1]

I didn't know it was only Scotland which is basically never dark in the summer. I hate it. By 2.30am it looks like 9am.

[@TattoosLovers]

Heyy please make more videos like this too very interesting to know the difference between an airplane & a train lol .
