Damn... While the setting is not completely accurate and the game is limited in its graphic capabilities, it's still shocking to me to see how easily I recognized the place... I lived in Lancaster for a few years (in the building just in front of the train station actually) and worked at Costa Coffee in that very station, so you could say I'm quite familiar with the surroundings, and seeing this really brought me back to the (pre-)COVID period, when I lived there. Thanks for the video (and the time travel)!

Hello, your subtitles are not displayed long enough, they are not readable.... improve that for the next videos.

We are Traveling from Australia to Switzerland next week and 8 countries from Zurich ON EURAIL. Looking forward!!!

You will get addicted to Interrail! Nice way to travel.

A great recommendation for an all-line rover, would be a complete circumnavigation of the UK (that is - following the coast all the way round and back up the other side). It requires two bus "bridges" - Whitby to Scarborough, and Fishguard to Aberystwyth. (plus the use of the Ffestiniog railway). On Scotlands west coast, it needs the ferry plus bus automatic connection via the Isle of Skye, to link Mallaig with Kyle. There is just one remaining dilemma - the numerous branch lines in Devon and Cornwall which nearly all link important locations on the coast, but which are all dead-end shuttles. And one final one - up north in Blackpool. You definitely would need the 14 day ticket because the lines round Sunderland, Lowestoft, and on the other side - zigzagging around the Wirral, Southport and Ormskirk, are all served by local stopping services. Yeovil needs the local bus transfer (the walk along the main rd. is dangerous). And there you have it. How long do you think it would take, ? And what about the branch line shuttles.?

One day, if you go interaling or whatever, in Europe, you must visit Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg which as you probably know is the greatest model city in the world. Dont plan on rushing - you need several days there.!!

AGAIN there is STILL a problem with the captions.!!

You seemed to have better weather than during your all-liner. I notice there was plenty of water in that river in Chelmsford - that's an advantage of winter travelling - major waterfalls, for example, are often reduced to a trickle in summer, and then people who have hiked there wonder what all the fuss is about.

Yes, we'll done. But you'ld be surprised the number of people who wouldn't be able to work that one out. They'll probably be racking their brains around some mysterious corner of Scotland, or Wales, and I dare say - if you were to ask that same question to many an SNP 'fanatic' , they'ld probably reply - "Och Eye - both the east and west coast routes are international.!!"

Damdest cheek!!!!! I have some news - read on...... You remember that I mentioned (when you were commenting on Ashford Internstional) that I had texted the respective Deputé regarding the parallel situation across the Manche - well I've just seen an on-line edition of la Voix du Nord (the equivalent of the Manchester Evening News) that he has had a meeting with the transport minister and the local people are threatening to block the line if the trains don't stop at Fréthun. "These trains from London come whistling through our patch, yet have the damdest cheek not to stop chez nous - sacré bleu.!!!". You know how the French are - they don't mess about - the big question is - will it be cows parked on the line, tractors, or what?? And the police don't interfere with farmers !! The SNCF of-course are a large shareholder in Eurostar, so it shouldn't be too difficult to know whose back to scratch. Anyway, if all works out, there's the option for any rail rover enthusiast who might want to add a unique little twist to his rail rover schedule.!!! Quiz - there's one other international train line in the British Isles - do you know which one it is ??

Guildford is in a fairly classy area (as indeed is all of Surrey, with nearby Virginia Water housing perhaps the greatest number of millionaires outside Chelsea & Kensington. Blackburn is a more down-to-earth Northern town.

Yes, I've noticed that too, in the past. Northern seems to consist of one or two carriages, and in fact the last time I had to sit on the floor (and in the baggage area!) was on a Northern train. I wonder why you guys get such a rough deal.!!

Oh, you only did 6 days. Mind you, it's a bit expensive, I know, unless you're under 26 or your "well over 26.!!!!". If you missed out in the first category, then you've got a hell of a wait until the second.! Do you think we might see any more videos before that time - I may not still be around to view them.!!

You were fairly unlucky with the weather during your rover. Whenever I've been to Scotland, it's been hot, hot, hot. Mind you, I only go at mid-summer, but that's as much for the light, as much as for the weather. Two advantages.

Yes, you said it - it's very tempting to spend more time at those places, but then we would need to consider regional rovers, rather than the all liner.

I think you should re-caption your videos and you very likely will improve your viewership. I generally only have time to read the first three or four words, so ive more or less given up on reading. Imagine if i was a foreigner - God forbid.!!!!!

Yes, its nice how you can freely wonder in and out at any changing stations while you wait for your connection. You can do all that with a rover.

Nice part of the world you live in. Many foreign visitors to Britain don't realise our bright nights of summer, because in a vast area of the world this doesn't happen. They also don't realise the range of travel possibilities and they get much better advantages than we do - No pre 9am restrictions on any line - Flexibility - days off at their choice, like the Scottish rover - and very competitive prices.!

Yes, the traditional lines from Charing X down to the Kent coast have always proved more scenic, but I would imagine the temptation was too great not to use the high speed line, especially while you have the all liner.!

I have to search for your videos - they don't send them to me, even though I'm subscribed. Yes, about your all liner not being valid on Eurostar, a lot of people overlook that with a big of effort, you CAN turn your rover into an international experience.!!! I mentioned about the day return to France, and you STILL have time to use your rover to get to the port AND to get back in the early evening to wherever. Of-course, if anyone is fanatical about having to bang their rover every day all day without a break, then let them be just content to sit in trains all day long.! If you prefer to eat in a local side street dans un petit bistrôt when you get there, take the cheap ticket on the boat and don't eat anything that will spoil your appetite - especially expensive rubbish snacks. Now, let's see where next you get to.

Post pandemic Eurostar attitude to intermediate stations is also causing much disquiet on the french side as well. In fact I mysrlf texted le député de la région Nord / Pas de Calais, complaining about not being able to jump off and explore their 'jolie' seaside towns in summer. It makes for a very easy day trip, something to eat and drink, and when you come back - you arrive at the same hour as you left !!!!!

You've heard of HST. Now, there's HSC - high speed captions!!! It's almost as challenging as trying to read a station name when your throttling through at high speed.!! Perhaps that's what you think your viewers should be used to.😊

Penzance, yet another hub of radiating bus routes, for example to the local town for both views of, and the ferry to - St. Michael's Mount Island, and Lands End.

Yes, everything train wise is a bit different in Cornwall. There are so many branch lines, that require the main line to stop at every station. And what you may not know is that even if a station is not a junction, there are still all important bus connections radiating out like the spokes of a wheel. If I give just one example - the world famous Eden Project - the bus from St. Austell takes you right outside.

Very inspirational - I shall watch each day of your rover adventure. Did you notice how the weather changed as you travelled - you did quite some distance in your first day.!!

Your captions fly off the screen MUCH too quick.!!!!

Yes, I agree - we have experience of interrailing, and we've found from experience that you need to break your journey about every 4 hours, to stretch your legs, have a comfortable toilet session, and we don't like wasting money on railway snacking, so we'll head into some side street for some bargain real food, very often with a free glass of wine.

Fascinating journey. Is the Rochdale line more scenic than the Stalybridge-Huddersfield line? We're not from the North, so it's nice to find out about these things. We CAN however tell you about lines in this part of the world, if ever you're interested. The beauty of the All Liner is - it's the only rover which gives you more or less complete freedom in the South East, but you CAN use an Oyster day pass on everything in Greater London, including all buses, trams, and non-tourist Thames commuter water buses. One very interesting thing to do is to go round the Circle Line tube and visit all the main line stations, like famous St.Pancras, and tiny little Fenchurch St. You can also be overwhelmed by Clapham Junction where there is never one minute all day when a train will not be passing.!!! You can go to Dover and see France with the naked eye (you don't even need binoculars). You can make a day excursion and get free food and wine (if you pay the £26 fare), but you will need your passport, even though you'll come back the same day to continue with your all liner on Britain's only domestic high speed service.!

Looks like fun i am from exeter area its a lovely place

I have just watched your 5 days of your all line rover and have enjoyed the format where you have shown us some of the towns visited well as the travel. Can I just ask a couple of things. Please can you leave your longer captions on screen for a bit longer as I have frequently missed some of the facts you have given. The other point for me is that in your town and city visits maybe too long is shown of the shops and shopping centres rather than the historical features of the town or city. For example at Canterbury you showed only very brief glimpses of the cathedral from a distance but spent a lot of the video in the shopping area. Small points I know but I am looking forward to seeing the last 2 days of your rover. You look as though you had fun. Thanks again for sharing

Did you have a one or two week rover? The two week works out cheaper per day, but I know its not that cheap anyway. I would thoroughly recommend under 26's and Seniors to do it - the one third discount is definitely a boost, and although both these groups have their own discounts on individual tickets, THEY'RE NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL AFTER ABOUT 9am M-F. So that's where these two groups score with an all-liner.

Great video. Have you tried the witchway from Manchester to Burnley

Good to see PZ again. We were there in June staying at Carnson House opp Station. An excellent b&b and conveniently placed for rail travellers. Caught a few HSTS as well. 😊

Very nice cities are Nottingham and Derby

Cool

The dogs love the walks by the river. Very popular with dogs and their people

Very interesting. I didn't know WM did a day rover - noted for future reference! Point of trivia: That's the Birmingham City ground (St Andrews) you can see from Moor Street, the Villa ground is up by Witton on the Birmingham to Walsall line👍🏻

I love this so much even if you butchered names 🤣

Nice quality vid matey

Hi. I see you have the AP sounds for the 153. I have the 153 but not the sound pack and it's no longer available on just trains website.. just wondering if you would be kind enough to give me the sound pack?

Thank you for this super informative and well researched tour. We are thinking of moving to St Asaf from Devon so this has helped us to familiarise ourselves before visiting👏

Before moving to Canada in the late 1930s, my grandfather and his four brothers were from St Asaph and worked at the Denbigh glove factory.

Hi! That was a nice and interesting video, a different perspective on my home city and I enjoyed watching it :-D If you come back one day, be sure to have a walk along the former GWR railway line (these days it's a shared-use path from Aldi to Belmont, and a nice walk/ride), and some of the remaining parts of the city wall. We also have some nice riverside walking available :-) Those works outside the station have not really progressed since your visit though! I shall have to subscribe and see what else you get up to!

Hope you enjoyed our beautiful city and was treated nicely by our beautiful people. Take care la

In real life 156s do Lancaster to Morecambe shuttles & the 158s also do this line to and from Leeds via Lancaster

I work in Hereford Museum. Thankyou for the nice comments about our city in our visitor book. We moved here a few years ago and love it here.

331026 is the only 331 that still has lowercase northern letters and on the 195 side 002

the earth works pottery shop was going in the late 70s'i still have a pot my mum bought from there,,we lived up the ginnel just opposite there,,,
