The Night Riviera Sleeper Train!

[@ConquistadoraDeLaEstrella]

the little weird boxes in the room are old ashtrays filled in with blocks of metal. Back when the carriages were first built, you could smoke in your private berths, which has now been stopped 😊

[@TheOracle65]

I live in Cornwall near Penzance and use this service often for business trips to London and beyond. It’s a brilliant experience and feels like a special journey every time I use it. The GWR staff on the train are very helpful and always seem to be in good spirits. The train is unlike most GWR express trains in that it uses an older diesel locomotive (class 57 for you train nerds out there like me!) and refurbished MK3 sleeper / passenger carriages. It travels relatively slowly and is softly sprung so it’s very relaxing. I also sleep well on the train, despite the bed being fairly narrow it’s very comfy!

Fantastic vlog, G! It was nice that you had several Paddington Bears to see you off on your journey. Despite being a bit older than the coaches on the Caledonian Sleeper, it still looked like a lovely room to spend the night in!

[@GLovesTrains]

The room was great! Thanks barrowc

[@pauljohnson4871]

@@GLovesTrains Another interesting vlog G. Comparing your Scotland sleeper & this one I very much prefer the cabin on the Scotland sleeper. I can’t remember the difference in money & what the cabin has to offer x

Awesome video G Loves Trains

[@TorbjornMain]

I'm suffering a deep depression at the moment and like you I have a love for trains. Your videos have really been a gift to me while I'm suffering thank you for the help.

[@HarryMoorehouse]

seek help, good luck

[@gainsbourg66]

Becoming aware of the colours and designs of nature helped me - even in the suburbs, and bleak things like the wind and rain and waving branches. Imagine you are a radiator that can radiate the depression out of you, in colours if you want.

[@ianr]

Superb vlog G! Glad you have had the opportunity to do this. 🙂👍

[@GLovesTrains]

Cheers Ian, it was great!

[@colmc4729]

Thanks for video Always enjoy these interesting vids

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks!

[@Sim0nTrains]

06:04 they're ladders for the top bunk G, I remember being the Night Rivera once back in 2019 and was sleeping on the top bunk, felt like luggage being thrown around. But a better sleeper than a seat which there was a very lack of sleep when I did that in 2015.... back then in 2015 I remember just getting off the sleeper at Exeter St David's during it hour wait and just roam around the station taking photos of the trains parked on the platform lol Also happy that you finally done the Night Riviera as well, Great Video.

[@GLovesTrains]

Haha sounds like fun! And I did know it was a ladder.. I think I was just too tired to think at that point 😂 thanks Cyber!

[@Hammondfreak]

Love your vids, G. Keep 'em coming ! 🚂

[@MartysWhiteSuit]

Very enjoyable style of presentation. Very fresh. I hope to go on a sleeper myself one day.

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks Neil!

yet another brilliant video G, you are a fantastic person who always puts a smile on my face, looking forward to your next adventure. 😊

Thanks AlienZombie! 😁

[@titanbengal]

Very enjoyable experience and many thanks for sharing.

[@lincolncityful1]

Great watch thanks..

[@matthillmedia]

Had to rewatch this as we just returned from our trip on the night riviera ourselves. Omg, absolutely loved it, one of my best train experiences so far. Amazing video btw, just as enjoyable the 2nd time round of watching. Cheers. Matt

[@its_rob_2096]

Took my daughter on this service in 2021, absolutely loved it. Fantastic video & brought back many happy memories. Thankyou.

[@MontytheHorse]

I love that you were in Coach G! Never done the Night Rivera, but have used the Caledonian Sleeper a few times before the new stock was introduced. So, it’s nice to see the Mk.3 stock again. I think those weird block things were rests for the upper bunk and the blue light is a night light. I always left it on, so if I woke up in the middle of the night I could find the main light switch. Travelling on this service is certainly on my bucket list!

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks Monty TH!

[@trevorhoughton863]

Great Video - great train aswell, use the seated portion quite often, nice relaxing train & convenient train either from London or from Cornwall, always find the crew on board very polite and helpful. Thanks for sharing 🙂

Thanks Trevor!

A journey I really want to do - I’ve not been on a sleeper train for over 25 years! Glad you had fun (and a good breakfast box too!)

[@GLovesTrains]

The breakfast was great!

[@SBKPete]

No idea why YT suggested your channel. But I’m so glad it did. I love it 😁

[@TheLondonTransportDroid]

Another great video as usual 😊

[@petermostyneccleston2884]

I have always wanted to go on a Sleeper train. It is one of those things that I will hopefully do at some time.

[@chapman9230]

What a fun video! You have a very pleasant style of presenting. Well done . i hope you do more.

[@Paco_Gaepedores]

Amazing cozy sleeper train woot ❤

[@BeakersAreCool]

Loved this one as much as the Caledonian Sleeper, these are really informative and as always with you G, funny. The beach at Penzance looked awesome and rugged, I expect it will look even better in the summer. Looking forward to the next one and stay safe.

[@GLovesTrains]

Summer.. are we getting one this year 😂

[@mikevale3620]

As an Aussie whose travelled to Penzance a few times by GWR, I have to say the summers in Penzance and Cornwall in general are fantastic!

[@tomhami]

The funny lumps support the top bunk while the thing you tried to open was the to bunk ladder. It's a great experience and good value IMHO. 👌

[@theleedsbusdriver]

Thanks for great review.. Really helps for the day I get round to trying it :)

[@davidfield7810]

Video just popped up! Fantastic, well done 👏

[@ReubenAshwell]

Brilliant video G, glad to see you enjoyed the Night Riviera, i too would like to do this service sometime seeing as it's the only slamdoor train left in the UK now. Also a shower at Paddington station, I never thought you'd be able to shower at a station until now.

[@GLovesTrains]

Haha me neither tbh unless its raining 😂

[@daviebevan]

Never seen this channel on KZbin before. I am impressed with your manner, and explanation. I'm subscribed🙏

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks David!

[@davidlally592]

Mm young Miss G: an enjoyable vid. My own last sleeper was the overnite Lake Shore Limited done by Amtrak, from Chicago (where I was at a Confce there) to NYC. And thence back to Heathrow, on a red eye. Keep em coming..

[@Simon-fr4ts]

I love sleeper trains. I really want to try this one as I live in Cornwall. I have only ever been on one previously and it was one of my best memories as an 11 year old. It was from Paris to Italy through the Alps in 1982. It was incredible. We were holidaying in Italy and the world cup was on whilst we were there. Italy won. You can imagine the atmosphere! Best holiday I ever had.

[@Starchaser63]

Fantastic 👏 informative and entertaining... 👍 ..

[@grahamandrew907]

Superb video, well done.

[@zawtowers]

My hunch was right, G! :) Glad you enjoyed the Night Riviera - it definitely was rather lovely when I headed down to Cornwall. The Queen Victoria Waiting Room is rather grand and really is a nice place to relax before the journey - shame it was closed when you were there. And they made a good effort with the vegan box for brekkie as well - nice to see. Top tip: if you book to stay at the Longboat Inn in Penzance, you can head straight there from Penzance station and as a guest, drop your luggage off - then check in later in the day. They do the same on check out day too so you get longer around if you need. I need to do the journey in the summer months so waking up means you get to go over the Royal Albert Bridge into Saltash as the sun rises.

[@GLovesTrains]

Ah right nice one, thanks!

[@chrisamies2141]

I was told about this train today and now here is your video. The Night Riviera is now on my to-do list!

[@MichaelSebastianTodd]

i really enjoyed watching this one the Nght Riviera sleeper train looks amazing & Penzance beach looks amazing dispite the weather awesome vlog

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks Michael!

[@marionbloom1218]

20 years ago I used this regularly between London and St Austell for business, and I always loved it and slept very well. I think the gentle rocking of the train is very comforting, like being back in the womb! It looks as though it has not changed one bit, but looks still well maintained and clean. It's good value for money, considering it saves an overnight hotel. It's a shame they don't have an en-suite option like Caledonian Sleeper do (I'm at the time of life when nature calls in the night!), but all the same I'd love to use it again. Maybe one day. Such a shame there are not more sleeper services, especially to Europe where much of my business travel is nowadays. Marion XXX

[@barryballinger5912]

Lovely video great narration and story x

[@jeffdenton5068]

Very informative vlog, G - I’m also a huge fan of train travel and have always fancied trying one of the sleeper services… based on this, the Night Riviera is becoming my favoured option. I’d also love to see the coastline views in the section through Devon, and by combining a trip on the Night Riviera in one direction with a standard GWR return in the other, I could tick two things off my bucket list - plus a third one if spending a little time in Cornwall, which is a county I’ve never visited… yet. Keep the brilliant vlogs coming!! ☺️

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks Jeff! Hope ya get to do that journey
