This is what life is like for a weekend YouTube travel creator :) 36 hours with Steve...

To be honest, this is all just a bit of fun - I had a free weekend so decided to go on a trip from Edinburgh to Inverness and a slightly odd way! What's more, I also decided to take you along with me for the whole trip :)
Our return trip will include a tram, an electric bus, 3 trains, 2 regular buses, 2 flights and a lot of steps.
I filmed this over the weekend of 31 July/01 August.
Other details:
Edinburgh Tram: Balgreen - St Andrew Square, £1.80
Ember Electric Bus: Edinburgh - Dundee, £7.50
Scotrail Train: Dundee - Aberdeen/Aberdeen - Inverness, £15.80
Stagecoach Bus: Inverness - Ardersier, £5.00
Moray Bay B&B: Ardersier, £52.00
Loganair Flight: Inverness - Stornoway/Stornoway - Glasgow, £99.65
Glasgow Airport Bus: Airport - City Centre, £9.00
Scotrail Train: Glasgow Queen Street - Edinburgh Haymarket: £13.50
I hope you enjoy the trip! I will also try to post a flight review for this one because it was a real bargain compared to booking these separately! And, especially for someone who likes flying as much as I do, this is a great way to visit a couple of lesser used airports!
Thanks for coming along :)

As a train guard I can honestly say NEVER USE TRAINLINE for buying tickets. Almost all the problems we get on train are from trainline. Double booking, wrong advice and even selling tickets for trains that no longer run. That plus their less than useless customer service. Never use Trainline. Always use the company on who's trains you will be travelling.

[@steve-marsh]

Thanks so much for the tip!

[@hcjkruse]

made the mistake once to use trainline. After that I booked a package deal with Stenaline. Only getting through the gates at Liverpool Street station can sometimes be a nuisance as some guards don't consider the Stenaline ticket valid until they made a phone call. A QR to open and close the gates would be nice.

[@lukehoneythunder]

Aye plus Trainline charge a fee.

[@antifugazi]

Trainline has virtually no customer service

[@johnledingham852]

One of your best videos Steve. No, your BEST. You let your creative juices flow in your producer's cap. You had me chortling and chuckling and laughing out loud old mate. Your time line that included you in the steamy shower, and as you tossed and turned through the night. I was really amused by the bagpipe practice room on the train. When I was a lad, seventy years ago, Dad used to practice the pipes as I tried to get to sleep. That little kitten you befriended was a wee sweetie too. Thank you so much for good entertainment. Keep it coming!

[@steve-marsh]

Thanks a lot John, I remember this trip well and how much I enjoyed filming it. I really need to do some more like this

@@steve-marsh I’ve had a strong draw to Scotland most of my life, especially after learning the connection between clan Guthrie and Robert The Bruce.

Loving this. We once drove on to Skye in our camper van 'Clarice'. When we got to the Bridge of Skye we saw we had 1.30h to get to Uig to get a ferry to Tarbert in Harris. We didn't appreciate how big and, well hilly and wyndie Skye was and we made it with seconds to spare. on the Sunday we went to Stornoway and of course it was closed. We'll have to go there again. On the way back we went to Portree and had a proper night out in hte Cally club watching a local band.

Happy birthday Steve 🎂 🥳 a pint on a Welshmun

[@hughrainbird43]

Great fun, Steve, and what a fascinating variety of modes of travel on your journey. It recalls some "ScotRail Pass" trips I made in the nineteen eighties when we tried to pack in as many miles of rail travel as possible. My own experience of "Sleepless in Inverness" came as the result of sitting up up on an overnight train from Glasgow packed with Costa Brave returnees fuelled by in flight booze and duty free Sangria... A restless journey made longer by stops to shunt and unload mail vans en route, not something you see on today's railways.We stayed at B&B's with satisfying Scottish breakfasts, and visited pubs for pints of 30/- and mutton pies.I had my first taste of "Arbroath Smokies" in a restaurant off Princes Street. What a transformation at Glasgow Queen Street, the only mainline station where I've had my name announced over the PA thanks to my "pals" from ScotRail and the Worth Valley Railway. I guess the gloomy climb up the tunnel to Cowlairs is still the same! The glimpse of the model of the de Havilland Dragon Rapide biplane "airliner" at Stornoway Airport reminds me of watching these pre-war aircraft buzzing in and out of St Marys on the Isles of Scilly services operated by BEA in the nineteen fifties. We couldn't fly as we took our dog with us on these holidays to St Martins, and had to sail from Penzance by the "Scillonian" ferry. Breakfast after the overnight sleeper journey from Paddington would almost always end up "feeding the fishes" on the two hours or so of the crossing as she pitched and rolled over the Atlantic swells. Happy days!

[@steve-marsh]

Wonderful Hugh! And oh I love a Scottish B&B brekkie - keeps me going all day! That's one of the problems trying to film on a train, people like to open a drink on a train journey and things can get very noisy :O

Interesting to see the ferry was named Loch Seaforth. An older boat of the same name did the Stornoway run from Mallaig when I was a kid and holidayed there. We went on the Loch Arkaig (Inner Isles mailboat) and the Clansman (Armadale, Skye) but I always wanted to go on the 'big one' to Stornoway. Never got to go, so maybe I'll do it next time I'm up there. Last time from Mallaig I went to Uist, to visit a radio amateur friend. That was a fantastic trip, too. Thanks for taking us with you, Steve. You've wetted my appetite for Harris/Lewis too!
