I loved that film, thanks, in my own neck of the woods! For ten years I worked with foreign students in Glasgow and sometimes took them on day trips to Falkirk Wheel - including the inevitable walk through the tunnel at the High station. They really enjoyed the tunnel. Your camera seems to do what mine does - auto-focus on raindrops on the window rather than what's outside!

def a brilliant epic circular journey there i like Glasgow central its a lovely station which i used when i spent a day in Glasgow while holidaying in Scotland & i like the ScotRail 385s they are really nice trains & i rode a load of those & thats one of the best things about visiting new places you get to sample trains & tick off TOCS that you dont get to use very much which i find refreshing & i visited Princess St Gardens in Edinburgh & Edinburgh is a lovely city & Scotland has some lovely stations to visit brilliant vlog

Another great video. Loved the Falkirk station and the tunnel walk thru. I love the large stations but there is just something special about those small older stations in the U.K. I loved the quick views of Glasgow Central. I was just there a few months ago and stayed at the VOCO Grand Central Hotel. A lot of history with that hotel. I felt like I was just back in Edinburgh when you were walking down Princes Street. I love the Views you get up towards the castle. If you ever have the chance as much as you love flowing water I would highly recommend taking the train from Waverly up to StoneHaven and take the short taxi ride and visit Dunottar Castle. We were there when they first opened and the sun coming up over the North Sea is absolutely stunning at the Castle. Be sure and sit on the right side of the train heading North. Thanks again for sharing and bringing back such great memories. Unfortunately not getting back to the U.K. this year other than transiting thru Heathrow but I get to enjoy your videos and Imagine myself in some of my favorite visited places.

I've also done that canal walk many a time - well done for braving the tunnel. Although it looks a lot safer and better lit than the first time I walked through it! The walk from Polmont to Linlithgow is a bit longer but nicer overall I think.

I did a wifi speed check and it said it was fast which I was impressed with 😊 the windows where great to look out, I could even see a London northwestern train driver was impressed when it pulled out if rugby. The seats are very much like pendolinos you get a charging table with every seat and a plug which was very hidden on the side 😂😅 the knicker hook folds away as well but that may also be a standard class thing as well 😂 it felt like having the train to myself since no one else was in 1st class.

@@GLovesTrains nice. Did you know Makita make a portable battery powered microwave! You could warm up your pasties on the train and take them to the next level. You could even walk the carriages and offer passengers a pasty warming service. A few years of doing that and I reckon a statue of you goes up at Didcot.

I looked into this a while back, think its something to do with the price of the ticket having to be over 12 pounds

The £12 minimum fare on 16-25/26-30 railcards doesn't apply to Advance tickets, so G loves trains will have got a discount despite leaving Wigan so early. (and also because of the July/August £12 easement) unfortunately the two together restrictions apply all year round. There's alot for me to remember when working in my ticket office.

A tip for your future travel in Glasgow. I wouldn't walk From Glasgow Central and Queen Street in the rain. There's a shuttle bus Between the 2 stations. Or from Glasgow Central low level to Partick. Switch platforms and go from Partick to Queen Street Low level And walk upstairs. Yes it's a bit of a detour. But with a views of the river Clyde and keeping out of the rain. It's worth it. Plus you can get the train from Partick straight to Edinburgh Waverley.

@@GLovesTrains Remember Glasgow also has the subway. St Enoch is next to Central Station and Buchanan Street is just outside the entrance to Queens Street. And they all stop at Partick. You have so many options it's crazy lol. I enjoy your videos hope you enjoy yourself.
