What's it like riding with TfW in FIRST CLASS?

What's it like riding with TfW in FIRST CLASS? (20/11/23). I rode with Transport for Wales from Shrewsbury to Stockport in first class on board a class 67 Mk4 coach set. Everything was sooo big!

A BIG THANKS to my patrons:

A cup of tea and a biscuit is always essential.

I did try First Class on Cross Country once, I have also travelled First Class lots of times on Avanti West Coast and Great Western Railway, also back when it was Virgin Trains and First Great Western.

Great way to travel the train looked very comfortable the porridge and coffee mmm could have eaten it myself what a great way to spend your time your video's are amazing ✅✅👍👍

Just started watching your videos; we love watching train riding journeys in the UK. You do a lovely job hosting these videos. Very happy New Year to you. Cheers from the US.

Got to sit 1st class in one a couple months back as the conductor wasn't feeling well and she said I could take a seat as she wasn't going to come round so I did and it was honestly the best. Seats are so comfy you've got enough space and its quiet. I was only riding from Cardiff Central-Cwmbran which is only 2 stops but it was brilliant. Unfortunately the service was cancelled at Hereford as she was taken into hospital(I caught up with her a couple weeks later on her first day back and we started to chat and she's actually quite a nice lady)

Hiya my lovely,

Devon Mike here, just wanted to ask you, if you've ever ridden on the "Robin Hood Line" yet by any chance?
It's a nice industrial/countryside Railway journey and goes from: Nottingham to Worksop every hour.
If you get a chance to look at Worksop Railway Station it's very nice, has an old signal box which is now preserved at the end of the platform and the station is painted to look like the old Great Central livery.
And the service is operated by EMT and usually have class 170 Turbo Star units with the occasional class 158.

Anyway unless you've already done it recently? If not have a look into it, you may like the journey?

Anyway all the best for the new year keep up the good work and hope to see some more of your enjoyable videos soon.

9:27 Hey, now we are not going to grumble at that

They are nice trains when they run, but they seem to spend more time in the carriage sidings at Crewe, being either repaired or maintained, than they do in service. Love the end shot …hair blowin in the wind and…oohh …those railings. 😜. 🚂🚴‍♂️👣🇺🇦

Thanks for the train ride G, definitely worth the money and looks very clean, shame about the toilet door!!😎🚃🚃🚃🚃🇬🇧❤️

[ReecesTrains]

Wow! The interior looks really nice, very much like the LNER InterCity 225's!
I gotta love the door open beep, one of my favourite features on these sets!
Great video, G!

[ShrewsTrains]

Love travelling to Manchester from my hometown of Shrewsbury. Not done it for a might have to go again soon.

[BeakersAreCool]

Hi G, That was well worth the upgrade, looked very comfortable and as for the porridge I could do with a bowl right now. Looking forward to the next one, stay safe.

[paulrb]

Good video, hey beautiful, next time your in Crewe on a Saturday, visit the heritage centre. It's great 😃

[MichaelSebastianTodd]

First Class on TfW looks amazing & im loving the TfW class 67s & i wouldnt mind riding one one day hopefully in the future & ive only seen a few at Cardiff Central back in May last Year awwesome vlog

[nicksavill]

Wow! That's amazing! I used to travel between Stockport and Shrewsbury back in about 1990, and it was a two carriage 156 Super Sprinter. Two carriages was never enough, and sometimes people couldn't even get on the train. That is such an upgrade.

[MrGreatplum]

Looks like a great first class offer - especially for that price! The porridge looks epic too.

I’m always a fan of loco hauled stock!

[TheSouthWalesRailGuy]

I've been in Standard Class on a MK4 set once between Cardiff Central and Abergavenny, it was a very lovely experience in my opinion, in future i'll have to try first class for myself!

[martinworsley]

Absolutely fabulous🎉! Could only find them running once a day to Holyhead. Thought that was it until your cracking video! Now planning a trip to Shrewsbury and may even try first class too! 🎉 Thank God for great vloggers like you who do the railway marketing for the train industry!! Cheers G❤

[nigelh]

Your videos are infectious! In the nicest possible way. Only G can get across the excitement of a large cup and a train toilet! Keep up the good work

[markeaston]

Happy new year G and to Lucy too!! Thanks for another nice video.
