Thank you Brian. Wishing you a Merry Christmas also

Thanks for the video. do miss the tube videos though

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

I hope to do some different style tube videos in the new year. However they can only be filmed from the public areas

[@CinemaShow-ok5vw]

@@dalecharmantravels8057 Appriciate that, but sure they will still be very interesting. Merry Christmas

[@martinhogg9140]

That sounds like good news Dale, we’ll look forward to that … all the best 👍

[@martinhew981]

Enjoyed the video, Dale. I would love to see some take off and landing videos. They are pretty cool. Hope you have a Happy Christmas.

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

The same to you Evelyn

[@martinhogg9140]

Thanks again for your realistic input, you put a lot of work into your videos and I hope that all is going well for you at work. Recently I enjoyed some episodes of the old tv series called “The Tube” covering many aspects from training, customer service, revenue protection, engineering, and more, Thanks again

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

You are most welcome. The tube was a good tv series. Much better than the ones they have done in recent years

[@simonfp3339]

Another excellent video Dale. Hoping and praying TFL change their minds about your tube videos. Have a good Christmas xx

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

Thank you Simon. A very Merry Christmas to you too

[@oober2004]

Another enjoyable vlog, Dale. Keeping the takeoffs and landings in the same videos seems to make sense for me, it's all part of the same experience. Hope you have a fun and restful Christmas. Cheers!

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

Thank you. The same to you

[@CornishMiner]

Great video Dale. I like the takeoff and landing in the main video myself, but you do it however you want please. Best wishes and have a good Christmas.

Merry Christmas Dale, I like the way you went for the lamb and rice and found large pieces of chicken in it lol. Looking forward to more content next year.

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

A merry Christmas to you too

[@George-jz9fk]

Merry Christmas Dale. Thank you so much for your effort for everything, I loved that you made so much tube vidoes that lasted from one end to another and rare movements and now are keeping us entertained after no longer being allowed to film them. I have some suggestions: try out the new ICE train direct service from Paris to Berlin if you can, you can also review the food scene in a country you visit

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

Hello George a Merry Christmas to you too. Thank you for the suggestions on future videos I shall see what I can do

[@2010ditta]

Sat with the minions on this one Dale then? Nice one. Thanks for all the videos this year. Have a great Christmas.

A Happy Christmas to you too. I hope you find more than coal in your stockings this year

[@MrLewis555]

Hi Dale, sorry I've not commented on your videos as much the past few weeks, I've been busy moving house and country, so a lot of things have taken a back seat. But I jsut wanted to catch this one as it came out and comment to say how much I enjoy your content and your video style. I find myself going back to your old Pic' line videos as I find hearing the clack clack of the tracks and your talking very relaxing to have on in the back ground. So thank you very much for those, enjoy your mints, and remember to stop at Turnham Green :D Merry Christmas

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

It’s always good to hear from you. I hope the move went well. Enjoy your first Christmas in the new house

[@MrLewis555]

Aww thanks Dale, I will do my best :)

Hi Dale. Nice video. I’m sorry you were sick. It’s worst when you are traveling. I’ve been there before. Wishing you a Merry Christmas ,with a years supply of mints and SD cars and maybe better recording equipment. (DId you put the hint out to your family?) All the best for a great holiday. Elizabeth What family tradition do you and your family have? What was your most favorite gift you ever received from Father Christmas?

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

A merry Christmas to you Elizabeth. That trip was taken at the beginning of Dec so luckily I was sick and not traveling. I hope you have a great Christmas and New Year

[@chrissavory9959]

Another great video. Any update on why you cannot film on the tube anymore.

[@haroldsmith45302]

Thank you, Dale.

[@romac9516]

Great little trip thanks Dale, food looked good to me, I had 10p ready for a mint but you didn't offer this time.

Don’t worry the mints make a return in next weeks video

Hang on a minute. I thought you were flying directly to Bangkok with British Airways from Gatwick?

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

@HarryThomasGrieves that’s later this month

[@yorkiepudd2]

Do you keep all the little kits you get on these flights, as mementos? And yes, separate vids of the take offs and landings (preferably full length unedited) would be a great idea👍

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

The family usually end up with my amenity kits. I do keep some like the first class ones for my self

[@Brotherdot]

Hah! A whole line of aircraft waiting for the "old lady" to get off the ground at takeoff. :)

[@danielpiggins8429]

A clearly mixed bag experience wise Bangkok looks like a fascinating destination from all I've read etc Reality is I could never fly that long so much of the world will remain unviseted

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

I shall have to do the visiting for you. I will be in Bangkok at the end of Jan.

[@danielpiggins8429]

@dalecharmantravels8057 Enjoy I was born a couple of generations too late for the opportunity to simply go to any of the key port cities like Southampton or Liverpool and be able to hop on an ocean liner that would take you anywhere in reasonable comfort and a price you could afford. I could quite happily spend an endless amount of time at sea, but the thought of being on an aircraft even in business for anything more than about 3 or 4 hours just doesn't appeal, I'm sure I'm not unique in this and there's probably plenty who've tackled it. But when I eventually tick off my bucket list item of a transatlantic voyage from New York back to Britain. I know that I will do the fun bit on the way back and fly out to get it over with and that will be a very serious test of just what I can cope with

[@jennythescouser]

Next time you arrive at Heathrow or Gatwick, I dare you to go to the announcements desk and ask for Hiedi Drukswijk - lol
