I am a train enthusiast and railway vlogger. Join me for weekly train and travel vlogs! I upload Choosday 8pm!
Upon discovering my love for train travel as a means of escape from the tough times, I had the ambition of visiting all my local railway stations. I thought I'd film my experience of doing so and low and behold, I really enjoyed it! I have since gone onto visiting every single railway station in the North West of England, North Wales AND Yorkshire and the Humber. I have been creating travel vlogs on UA-cam for several years now and despite flitting day jobs, enduring endless changes and battling against stereotypes, the one constant in my life has been my love for train travel. I love making my light-hearted vlogs sharing my fun days out on the UK transport network. And I am super excited to start travelling further afield this year!

Catching up on ya vlogs which i find great, waited for day 25 when finally you did my station of cheadle hulme where i grew up years before you were even a twinkle in your mum and dads eyes 😂 70's till 85 when i moved to london then france where i' been since 87 last time i was back in CH was over 15 /20 years ago no bridge or lifts then 😂platform 1 and 3 to stockport and Manchester platform 2 to crewe 4 to stoke thank you for the memories
What a lovely trip, it’s on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing this video 😊
Have boat will travel what a great way to spend a day well worth it great video ✅✅👍👍
I saw a sign that said Irvine so you are in the north west good to see a Scottish train loch you filming what loch where you filming?
How did it end ? Did lner give you money for the shortened journey? and the booked hôtel ?
Hello a new viewer here i really liked your journey and will be looking at others,just a question at the ferry port iether side did you need to show a passeport ?
Another great vlog,back in the day growing up we had the Holiday programme with Cliff Michelmore Ann Gregg(Always pleasing on the eye)and John Carter,but these programmes only glossed over what travelling was like.Hope the BBC is looking at your vlogs and thinking G has something there!!!
Hi G, I would say you got a right result on that ticket price, amazing value for money, and all went reasonably to plan as well. Glad you had an enjoable trip altogether. Take care, Jon B.
How exotic Ingliston and Gogarburn are after dark. In countryside and with grassland beside them.
Greetings from Alabama USA. I enjoy your vids. Keep on seeking adventure!!!
Quality as ever, mate! Wondering if you should change the channel name to GLovesTrainsThatLeadToOtherTransport! 🤣🤣👍
What a truly wonderful video thanks so much and the Mini bus was stunning ❤
Keep it up
Hi GLovesTrains; without sounding ‘creep’❓have u got an email address❓
Shame you missed the most scenic part of the route from Castlerock-Derry, definitely worth coming back to check it out!
Once Grand Central opens, the Enterprise will move out of Lanyon Place into Grand Central.
A friend of mine used to be a tour guide up there.
G - you going to go far - keep em coming😊
Fantastic ferry made Ardrossan to Brodick seem like a tug boat and Air is a Lovely place, Great for a Day out Bringing lots of memories traveling to Air from Kilwinning on the 380s , great views you bring, Hope Wigan welcomed you back , and look forward your next Vlog , hope you slept well and have a great day G , Take Care
Rail & Sail available throughout Scotland to the West Coast Islanda with Cal Mac (Caledonian MacBrayne) ferries and Orkney and Shetland Islands with Northlink Ferries, all with ScotRail (there is even a connecting taxi as part of your ticket between Thurso and Scrabster Ferry terminal for Orkney Islands).
I often, or used to, sail and rail to the Netherlands.
Great video. I take the Glider into Belfast every morning. Hope you enjoyed NI!
Those Rail and Sail deals are amazing, Used them frequently between the UK and Ireland (on the Fishguard - Rosslare route).
I imagine its stanky down there
That's the way to do it G, no easy boring flight! A great way to travel and see more of the countryside. Amazing price too for all that transport!
Really enjoyed your Vlog, a great way to travel if you have time.
love these videos you are doing on your own now..just like the old days...
Did not that such tickets still existed. I remember selling them when I worked in the travel centre in Glasgow until I finally retired thirteen years ago. Enjoyed your video
Thank you for sharing your journey G.
I have used Rail+Sail for travel to Dublin. Similar cost from LDS to Dublin Ferry port. Well worth doing as if ferry is late getting in you are free to use all available routes to get back by rail.
will definitely be trying the 1st class service now that I have a railcard seat value and that porridge look delicious
Out of interest was that fare a standard or with a railcard. Either way it was a great price.
Wow ! That was a bargain. Great scenery. Great video.
Great vid G! Really enjoyed!
What a great journey and you caught the colas 56 on camera in the tank area as you filmed yourself.
Great vlog G, Rail and Sail fun. Loved it.
Thanks for the video G,sooooo beautiful what else can I say!!😎🚄🚄🚄🚄🇬🇧💚
Awesome Video G Loves Trains 😄😄
Got power outlets on the 380s under the 4 seats with a table
That was a great film G, loved it. I did not know there was such a thing as a Rail and Sail ticket. I am old enough to remember when British Rail operated their own ferries and the ships had the British Rail logo on the funnel.
Glad you enjoyed the minibuz to Ayr. Yes it's a great road especially south of Girvan. Probably worth trying again when the rail link from Ayr to Stranraer is back on. Also very scenic and single track from Girvan😅
Btw, rail sail is much cheaper than the ferry ticket which is about £50! Also where can I find your vlog when you went to Irvine please?
Last time I did this journey it was a coach from Cairnryan, I've also done Liverpool ( Birkenhead ) to Belfast and I'd say I prefer this journey as the views going to the Stena Line Terminal are my favourite
Great video and what a great deal with the tickets, nice music too what was it?
Snottytastic video as always ❤
It's mad that there's no railway from Cairnryan/Stranraer to Carlisle. Going all the way up to Glasgow, though pretty, is very circuitous.
There used to be one, but Beeching did for that in 1965…
It is no longer possible to use this roite to travel to and to and from southern England to Belfast.
Not sure where "southern England" is, but you can get Anytime Return from Penzance (the southernmost station in England) to Belfast via Cairnryan for £116. That would be a truly mad journey though,
@@nendwr i would have to oeave at 4 m. Not much of a holuday.
So glad you uploaded this as me and a friend are musing doing one of these for a flight-free holiday. We're Brighton-based so for maximum trains we're thinking via Glasgow and Cairnryan going out, and via Holyhead coming back.
How much was the Belfast to Liverpool route?
