Sheffield to Cologne on FLIX BUS! 20 hours of travel!

[@Zomerset]

Hats off to you for doing this trip. It’s good to see the alternatives to flying.

[@HATReviews]

Thanks for the feedback and no problem at all. I am going to put all the prices in a review video at the end of the trip (some great vids still to come) price for this coach trip though was £34.97 though which I thought was decent value

In the early 1990’s I used to do Sheffield to Koln in 12 hours 20 minutes by train,SeaCat, and train. Coming back was 2 hours longer as the return channel crossing was by traditional ship.

[@HATReviews]

Ah very good. For work?

[@chriswade7470]

@@HATReviews Pleasure. I worked for Intercity Midland Mainline so my travel in the U.K. was free and once a year free in Germany, I had the equivalent of 4 free channel crossings per year. I also if I wasn’t using free passes reduced rate travel abroad, and on the ship/. I had to pay extra for the fast sea cat crossing. I think one can still do the trip in a day

Very Interesting ride mate cheers

[@HATReviews]

Thanks for the feedback. Got some good vids coming up from Germany in next few weeks as well

[@brianharley6452]

Was tempted to do this for the scotland game this Sunday 😂 moved to Sheffield from Scotland a few years ago and flights are very expensive

[@HATReviews]

It's that age old price Vs time conundrum. Was a great trip. Wishing you luck tonight against the swiss

[@dd511]

Reyt enjoyed that. Cheers chap

[@HATReviews]

Thanks mate. Got lots more content from Germany to come as well which you'll hopefully like 👍

[@peterg.crosby6320]

Thanks for doing the trip very interesting. 😊

[@HATReviews]

No problem at all. Got an epic train ride from Cologne to Berlin coming up on the channel in a couple of weeks as well on Flix train which might be of interest :)

[@joearl105]

Looking forward to seeing cologne in the next video😊

[@RegesCoffeeBreak]

I do London Düsseldorf quite often!! With Flixbus!

[@HATReviews]

Good service all round isn't it

[@RegesCoffeeBreak]

@@HATReviews the internet never works!! Apart from that, the rest is okay.

[@RegesCoffeeBreak]

@@HATReviews next month I'll do Paris-London, then London-Paris-Strasbourg, then Strasbourg-Dusseldorf, Dusseldorf-Hambourg-Coppenhagen, Coppenhagen-Aahrus-Coppenhagen and finally Coppenhagen-Paris...all with FlixBus, over 3 weeks! Some travel ideas for you!

[@HATReviews]

@@RegesCoffeeBreak oh they sound great. I'll definitely bear these in mind for future travels :)

The elizabeth tower big Ben is just the clock

[@HATReviews]

Fair point. Hope you enjoyed the vid :)

[@kevanhubbard9673]

I once did a similar but not quite as far; Eindhoven to London by Flixbus.My bus went on le Shuttle but didn't call at Brussels and went to Antwerp instead.

[@HATReviews]

Great adventures aren't they. Anymore planned?

[@joberry5755]

I'm doing Paris to Barca in a few weeks. Don't suppose you noticed whether 1a had a table? Did it have more leg room? I've reserved 1a but I'm thinking of changing it 🤔

[@HATReviews]

@@joberry5755 it didn't have a table but a chunky front bit with cup holders and somewhere you could put a laptop etc. Bit far away from you to say it was a table. Hopefully that very 'technical' explanation helps

[@joberry5755]

Thanks! I've changed my seat 😂

[@ThomasMaczkowsky]

Train is s better but more costly

[@HATReviews]

It's that old conundrum cost vs time isn't it. Would love to do the same trip by rail in the future to compare
