I Stay On A Luxury Sleeper Train - Caledonian Sleeper 👉

Complaining about the cold but your literally wearing the smallest jacket ever with no hat or gloves

In Finland we like to meme about the trains always being late, but actually by European standards they are quite well on time on average. Unfortunate that your trip didn't go exactly as planned, but you seemed to enjoy it well enough. Btw, those armrest buttons used to be for radio, not TV.

“Frostbite is a real thing”. Especially when you’re gloveless when it is MINUS TWENTY.

Your mother never taught you to zip up your jacket when it’s cold?

You would have to admit you were not appropriately dressed for this trip. T Shirt, no gloves, scarf, hat, thin jacket. I understand the luggage restrictions but you’re dressed for Tenerife 🥶

As a Finn, I got to say that we're really well prepared for cold weather, but the last week or so has been horrendous. So we're used to it, the transportation sector is used to it, but sometimes it gets too cold for even us. :)

Drinking a beer before getting on a train without working toilets, you're more brave than me 😅

12 hours in those seats with that much leg room seems a lot better than some of my long haul economy flights.

As a Lapland resident, I travel semi regularly from Rovaniemi to Helsinki and back, and always enjoy the train journey despite that as a student I often save money and just book a seat. With a good book, 12 hours in a day carriage is doable, but cabin is well worth the price tbh... I love sleeping in those trains, it feels like a cradle, being slowly lulled into sleep by the train swaying and making all those clank-clonk sounds. I'm sorry to hear that your journey didn't go according to plan, but you were travelling during the coldest week there has been for ages, -30 to -40'c in large parts of the country. Finnish railways were in chaos because the frost caused a lot of technical problems for both trains and railway infra - in milder weather Finnish trains are somewhat reliable and mostly in schedule. Cold water and low water pressure were undoubtedly related to frost issues as well. During the busiest tourist season you can sometimes see old sleeper cars being used among the new ones, and you managed to spot one of those! The three-bed cabin with orange basin etc. is one of the so called "blue stock sleepers", first built some 50 years ago! (Renovated several times since, obviously...) Still going strong despite its age, it seems. Other "blue stock" carriages were removed from the regular use in the early 2000's.

Tim, l always feel that you don't dress appropriately for your winter trips ,minus 20😳🤷‍♀️! I worry about if there is a problem you will just freeze. Please use some wisdom and take care of your health! ( warmer coats,hats, gloves, layers, thermal undies, etc!). We care, Tim!❤😢🙏👍

-20C..Tim where the hell is your hat and gloves?!

"Can you imagine sitting in one of these seats for 12 hours!?!" mate those seats look pretty good, living in New Zealand, flights to almost anywhere other than Australia start at 12 hours. My flight to the USA was 19 hours so.. 12 hours in a large train seat with plenty of space to walk around wouldn't be a problem 😂😂😂

11 hours in those seats look more comfortable than 11 hours on a plane in economy!

'when you're told you can't go, you need to go'. Ain't that the truth! Fantastic video mate

I love sleeper trains! The things that bother you, i.e., the noise and the motion from the train, are the things that lull me to sleep.

“Frostbite is definitely a thing, especially when it’s cold” 😂. Should put that on some merch

We wear gloves or mittens in the winter, here in Toronto Canada. They work well.

This is why I enjoy your videos over all others

Tim this is incredible.. to think that you began this channel by recording a walk up the road! Your dedication & support from Gabby has taken you so far & it's such an honour & pleasure to see 🥂
