I’m following you for several years. I patiently wait for every new episode. Usually I’m watching your videos early in the morning on Sunday being at home in Kyiv, Ukraine.

But now I’m in Edinburgh (because of the war in Ukraine). So I was more than happy to see Waverley from your perspective of view.

Thanks for your videos!!!

[edwinleslie]

Just wanted to say THANK YOU. I'm a Brit living in Austria and I'd got bored with flying back to 'the island'. Then I saw your video from Westbahn (vienna) to St Pancras (London) by train. BRILLIANT. Which has opened up a whole new ideas of travel by train and not just from Austria to Britain but in Britain and Europe. Could I throw in an idea for you? Steam Railways in the UK. Ie. Bluebell, Swanage, Lake District etc, etc. Anyway thanks again for my new adventures to come and for your excellent work. 😉

at last, after many years of trying, I am first to provide a thumbs-up and a positive comment!!!! another high quality production, please keep up the great work Mark

[StevenBanks]

SO looking forward to this very journey in just 3 weeks! Thank you for putting a name to some of the sights — and the sights I will miss as well because I blinked.

[trippingontravel]

26/27 in first class are perfect seats for a couple. We had those same seats on our return trips between Kings Cross and Edinburgh Waverly a couple months ago. Overall, really great service as well!

Thanks for another great video!

[Thecrazyvaclav]

Love your videos, no annoying music, just a camera and the views

[mukeshvig]

I've so many beautiful recent memories attached to this route, except the train that used to be, was East Coast.
But the clarity and descriptions in your video are outstanding. I learnt of so many historic places that I missed before.

Thank you absolutely.

5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great video and the LNER/ex-Virgin livery is probably my favourite ever on a train. The red-white-yellow absolutely pops and looks so sleek.

[rosemarywalker]

It's all part of journey a nice comfy seat and a meal, it's beats all the hustle and bustle of the airport, I thought you would be in 61 but 26 is ok many thanks for all the info and what to look for another excellent video keep them coming and we will watch 👍🙂

[davidaarthur]

It's a beautiful route. And the LNER livery is growing on me, even if it's got nothing on the GNER blue.

[garyh.]

Beautiful old train stations with modern trains still looks great!

[mattquirk]

Took this trip a year ago and loved it. Thanks for bringing back great memories!

[RonRicho]

Another big thank you to The Man in Seat 61. Wonderful train video .

[peterwooldridge]

From city centre to city centre I'd imagine the train is significantly faster than flying...maybe. Great video, thank you so much!!

[ronniedelahoussayechauvin]

I don't know anything about Trains nor This Country but I would love to take a ride on this one❤Beautiful❤

[SamuelIles]

Great video! After watching this trip report, I have some ideas up my sleeve

[BJones-ywdd]

Thanks so much for taking us along, since I may never get to take the trip myself!

[GARYINLEEDS]

Thanks, for taking me such a great distance, in just 13 minutes!

[imaizumi]

I am remembering my first trip to Edinburgh and scenery views in 2019..., Thanks.

[davidwilliams]

I took this train from London to Edinburg, with the only stops in York and Newcastle. It was clean, yet nearly full capacity, and it took four hours forty minutes, with hardly any catering. Still, interesting ride.
