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 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 🙂

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 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.

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 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.

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

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 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.

this is by far the most GENERIC interior in any vehicle ever

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

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!

Hi, if anyone here is watching here’s some advice to get the max outta your Caledonian sleeper ticket. 1) Book as far in advance, with a twin berth bunk, you can get tickets for £60 per person for two people if you’re smart (use a rail card, book out of the tourist season etc) 2) If travelling from Scotland to London the rails can get EXTREMELY bumpy due to the remoteness of their railways, the best trick for me to get to sleep is to mess around for abit until midnight (or a bit after) when the train is close to Edinburgh, if on the highland sleeper the train will be here for two/three hours as they join up the three portions before heading up to London hence it’ll be still enough for you to enter really deep sleep where nothing will wake you up until the morning. Between Edinburgh and London, the rails are much smoother with a quieter locomotive hauling the train. If you’re struggling to sleep from London to Scotland, wear ear plugs and know that you’ll get some proper shut eye when at Edinburgh around 3am. 3) Take ur own food on board to eat including some snacks ontop of your allocated breakfast, the cafe car (while delicious…) prices are a joke. 3) Coaches in the U.K. are much narrower compared to European railways (being the first ever nation to adopt the railway has it own disadvantages) so best not to bring a huge suitcase, a hiking backpack/medium sized suitcase will make your life much easier as it’ll fit into the room storage spaces MUCH easier, 4) Don’t get the double bed suites (too expensive), they’re not really worth it for a journey only 10 hours, while being narrow, the bunk beds are extremely comfortable and each room allows you to control the temperature to your preferences. Enjoying your videos, hope you plan to travel more.

This is simply amazing. Being a railfan, I hope someday I can travel this train!

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.

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

Anyone that hates on someone for how they prefer to have the things they enjoy are deeply insecure. Nothing shows more strength of character than doing the thing you enjoy. You drink your whisky with ice if that's how you like it. Some are better with ice, some without, some with just a drop or two of water. It's subjective, you do you.
