Lovely scenery but can we please get rid of the music and have the sounds of the train instead. Captions giving station names would be helpful too. Note some comments regarding sun glare but we wouldn’t get the beautiful autumn colours if filmed in summer when the sun is higher in the sky.

I don't want music, i want train sounds!

[bradleynorton]

Nice video. It would be good to see more of the same route in different seasons and different lighting conditions. Personally, I would prefer the ambient sound of the engine to the music on the soundtrack.

Can't help but think about the people that laid these tracks, built the bridges, and forged through rock to make tunnels. Remarkable achievement!

[TheGeekMonster]

Please REMOVE the music from these videos!

[colinhamilton]

be nice if there was a version without the music, just the train sounds.

I feel less alone knowing lots of other people also find this relaxing
I didn't know this existed until i searched for it myself
Im so glad I did
Thank you for doing this

Gorgeous place but a disappointing video. I agree with other comments about shooting the videos with better light conditions and not into the setting sun.

[valeriepurnell]

sad that the sound of the train was blocked out with music

[ingefosselie]

Beautiful trip, but I prefer the real train sound to music

[patriciahills]

Wonderful video beautiful scenery however the music spoils it, I would like to hear wheels on train tracks.

[alanmusicman]

This looks lovely, but only intermittently! it's such a shame that so many of the videos in this series seem to be shot travelling into the setting sun or in deep shadow. The Exeter-Paignton video was the same. Surely it should be possible to get cab ride videos done at more suitable times of day for seeing these routes in their full glory?

[barrettemonique]

Totally agree. Get rid of the music and lets hear the train. We train lovers need our train sounds.

[badheartgaming]

Amazing views. Loved just sitting and taking it all in. Could I ask that the music be removed in the future!

Going this year for my 40th birthday. Should have been last year but the rubbish C-19 put a hold on till this year so this video is very good inspiration for me. Exited for it.

[MegaRetr]

Beautiful scenery and I really enjoyed the music too.)

[Temptation]

Sad with the music. I watch these for the trains if I want music I am perfectly able of picking my own. Running it soundless is an option, but then the sound of the train is still missing

[georgearchambault]

Reading the comments, so many people don't enjoy the music.. I love the music that you picked, very relaxing and calming. I do agree about shooting the video into the sun, but you can't change mother nature. If the train was heading in the opposite direction, the video would be perfect. All in all I loved your creation here, and I really enjoyed the music you picked for it.. I would also like to hear the real train sounds, many do half music and half real train sound. That would keep some of the music haters happy. (and us music lovers also) I liked it a lot!! thank you!!!

We will be doing a 14 day circle Scotland trip by rail in September 2023. So much looking forward to it…

[Louve-tot]

Man this is sooo lovely seeing the sun rising slowly
Wow
I find sunrises more relaxing than sunsets~
