I just quit smoking (day 6) and one of my motivations is being able to take overnight or extended train trips. Just the idea of not having to deal with added stress of being a smoker while traveling is going to be so relieving. All that to say, thanks for the in-depth videos. I'm definitely using them to plan my dream itinerary.

Will, I think you’ve found your new “bread and butter” for your channel. We love the train videos. 100k views in 14 hours is insane! 🥳

I feel like it might have been a better idea to start from London at night so that in the morning you could see those picturesque Scottish views! It was still a very entertaining and informative video!

I’ve done this trip, but the London>Fort William route and direction. A far more spectacular route. You want to wake up at 6am for the views over Rannoch Moor and the horseshoe curve is an amazing piece of railway. Worth doing this route for the view alone.

Highly recommend as well the "Glacier Express" in Switzerland. Not that long of a ride but unbelievable beautiful countryside!

Was great seeing the Caledonian Sleeper again! My niece and I traveled from Edinburgh to London a few years ago. The Sleeper car was our 'hotel' for the night and was a reasonably comfortable (we were in a classic room with bunks) and restful experience. I've recommended it to others!

I did this journey in economy when I was in uni coming back from Skye, it was even longer as I got it from Skye! It wasn't very comfortable but I was younger and fitter and got a full night sleep! I then trecked through London with one massive backpack and 2 small ones with many rock samples... (Geologist...) But a good experience all together 🙂

Whoa! And here I am thinking my upcoming train trip from Chicago-SanFrancisco-La-SanDiego will be an adventure for this 65 year-old solo woman..... you go, young man. Love your videos!

I appreciate that you are always respectful, even when remarking the more undesirable aspects.

Manchester to London without the bed will cost you near enough as much tbf. We've got a real problem with our train prices in the UK.

I took the Caladonian Sleeper London to Inverness return twice. The cabin was so small it felt like very small broom cupboard. To get into the bunk bed I had to twist myself around the fixed ladder for the upper berth. With myself in a cabin for two with a modest amount of luggage, it felt very very tight. The train may be new but it ran over old tracks. The train bounced so much that I got very little sleep.

I undertook part of this journey about ten years ago, before the new stock was introduced. Since I was only travelling form Inverness to Preston and I can usually sleep on a washing line I opted for the seated sleeper. All was well and good to begin with and I slept quite soundly from Inverness to Edinburgh. I was awoken when another train was coupled onto the end at Edinburgh and noticed we were about two hours behind schedule. I dozed off again and woke about two hours later and we were still in Edinburgh! Departure time from Inverness was about 2100 and it was now about 0400 with about another 4 hours to go to my destination. Eleven hours seated on a train is not the most comfortable experience even for me and if I ever have to make the journey again I will definitely book a room.

My tip for a nice trip: Try the Overnight Sleeper Train from Munich to Rome. Its very nice and youll see so many different countrysides. I tried it 1 year ago and its the nicest feeling to wake up and to see the typical italian cypresses and the beautiful italian countryside!

First time watching here from the US. Omg the scenery is breathtaking. Sleepers are not cheap on trains, but worth it for long travels. This is just a few things I can add to my list of travel ideas and places. On February 1, 2022, I had my first smoke free day. Still haven't smoked. My goal to quit is hopefully to be selected as a volunteer for the World Cup in Katar. Luckily trains can be found in every country. Can't wait to see where you go next.

Hi, Will! Thanks for presenting us Caledonian Sleeper! Unfortunately here in my country almost all long-distance passenger trains were deactivated... But it's nice to see that in European countries, in Japan, in China and in USA they were modernized, and trains are an option faster and/or more comfortable and/or more cheaper (although 'cheaper' is not the case of this specific train) than traveling by bus/road or by airplane. Best regards to you from São Paulo, Brazil!

I took the sleeper from London ti Aviemore a couple of years ago. It was a treat, as it is expensive as you mentioned. But I was only going to be in Scotland for a short time and did not want to waste any time catching up on sleep. I loved the experienced and as a solo female traveller, felt very safe. Loving the vids!

Will, been loving the train videos. You should start a discord and have get-togethers at lounges with some of the viewers who love traveling. Would love to have a pint and chat about travel!

This one is better from London - Scotland as it means you wake up in the Scottish Highlands as dawn breaks over the idyllic scenery.

My fiancée and I are planning our honeymoon in Europe, a week in France and a week in the UK. It'll be our first time to Europe and the first time we'll be using passenger trains as they aren't common in America. Your videos and Nonstop Dan's have been super helpful and fun to watch as I'm a nervous traveler and like to know about services I use beforehand. 😅 Keep up the good work 💪
