Well done Roger

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Cheers! Thanks for watching - it’s quite an old video now! 😊

[@steve-marsh]

Fantastic Roger! The quality of your videos just gets better with every one. Great to see you back with another fun wee adventure!

[@RogEdwardsTV]

+SteveMarsh Thanks 🙏🏻 I haven’t been able to get out much recently so it felt good to be behind the camera again! 😀

[@pl443]

Please consider extending to Carlisle as before Beeching.

[@RogEdwardsTV]

That would be fantastic, wouldn't it? Thanks for watching! 😀

Nice one Roger.... 👍.... I'm now going to do this run next week from Newcastle but not straight up the East Coast..... what's even better for me that I enjoy is Newcastle to Carlisle.... that's a good one.... then pendolino to Edinburgh..... then your journey to tweed mouth. I have an ex forces veteran rail card so I get a 3rd off. Like I said on my post to you this morning I said that I will start my every stop in Scotland trips soon. Keep the videos coming please as I love watching them. Hey... if I see you about... I hope you don't mind me shaking your hand and offering you a pint or coffee on me.

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Fab! Sounds like a great trip. I’d be delighted to share a pint of a coffee with you if our paths cross! 🍺☕️

Used that service in 2016 to go down to Melrose with my two boys. Can’t believe I walked 2.5 miles apparently with a 4 and 8 year old. And back! Must have had the buggy.

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Not sure why they didn’t take the line to Melrose - would have made a more sensible terminus, I think!

[@ChrisJClegg]

@@RogEdwardsTV I think the road to Melrose uses a part of the line, looking at the satellite view. The station building is certainly still there - I remember walking past it.

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Nice one Rog! And good to see you didn’t get told off this week for filming on the railway 😂 I must try that line next time I’m up in Edinburgh, it looks like a nice half-day outing and the first class bit is a bonus really isn’t it. Cheers!

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Cheers - it’s a nice run out. And I hope they extend it to Carlisle. 😀

Cool. Thanks for watching. 😀

Love a bit for fake first class! Have been on that set many a time from Edinburgh back to Dundee. Nice to see the borders not from a car too.

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Thanks 🙏🏻. I quite like the 170s - for shortish distances!

[@DoctorFish10]

@@RogEdwardsTV They were OK for long distances, but that drone of the engine makes you go to sleep (o: Fat better on the HST;s now.

[@RogEdwardsTV]

The HSTs are fab - they’ve done a great job of the refurbishments! 🥂

Got on at Newcraighall so he could park his car in a Supermarket car park for free...thus avoiding the starting point in Waverley! Its an incomplete trip Roger the Dodger!

[@RogEdwardsTV]

🤔 The station car park at Newcraighall has a fee which I paid. 😀
